RNR Tire Express Gifts Georgia Father a Brand-New 2026 Ford Maverick in Annual Father's Day Giveaway

Valdosta Dad Peyton Childs Surprised with New Truck After Wife's Heartfelt Nomination Earns Top Prize

TAMPA, Fla., July 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- RNR Tire Express, the leading franchise retailer for tires and custom wheels and part of the multi-brand franchisor company DX3 Brands, is proud to announce Peyton Childs of Valdosta, Georgia, as the winner of the brand's 2026 Father's Day Giveaway. Childs was surprised with a brand-new 2026 Ford Maverick after being selected from more than 18,000 entries submitted by families across the country celebrating deserving fathers.

Childs was nominated by his wife, Megan, who described him as a devoted husband, loving father of three and the definition of a family man. In her heartfelt nomination, Megan shared, "He is literally the best dad I could have ever dreamt of having for my children. He is my best friend. He plays with the kids and hypes them up when they are scared or nervous. We know he is always going to be there."

She went on to explain that Peyton always puts his family's needs ahead of his own, driving a vehicle with more than 300,000 miles so his wife and children could have a safe and reliable vehicle. "When he is off work, he WANTS to be with me and the kids. I would love for him to win a truck because he deserves it. He puts us first every day... We just love him so much and appreciate how hard he works."

"Father's Day is about recognizing the men who quietly show up for their families every day," said Adam Sutton, CEO of RNR Tire Express and DX3 Brands. "When we heard Peyton's story, it was clear he puts others before himself and we were honored to celebrate him with a brand new Ford Maverick. We hope it serves as a reminder that the sacrifices he and so many fathers make for their family are seen, valued and deeply appreciated."

This year's Father's Day Giveaway marked a milestone for RNR Tire Express as the brand awarded a brand-new vehicle for the first time in the promotion's history. Previous Father's Day giveaways have featured prizes including grills, tire and wheel packages and a Jurassic Park-themed Jeep.

RNR's Father's Day Giveaway is one of the brand's signature community initiatives designed to recognize everyday heroes and give back to the communities it serves. Following the success of its annual Mother's Day promotion, the brand remains committed to celebrating the individuals who make a lasting impact on their families through selflessness, dedication and love.
