The Zimmer Service Center United Late Model Series is proud to announce that we have mutually agreed to have TheCushion to become the official broadcast partner of the ULMS Racing Series in 2021. It is expected that TheCushion will broadcast approximately 40 of the 2021 events scheduled.
“I was approached by Ian Marvuglio, President of T2 Digital Inc in late December in regards to streaming our events, stated ULMS Series owner, Chris Zuver. I was actually surprised that any streaming company reached out to us, as I only thought live streaming was meant for the national sanctioning bodies, such as World of Outlaws, Lucas Oil, DirtCar, Allstar sprints, not our little regional series. With our #MillionDollarTour in 2021 and over 50 events scheduled for 2021, the ULMS Racing Series has reached that level and I am humbled, proud and excited to showcase our series, our drivers, our race teams, our partners and host tracks to a new fanbase that can not make it to our events.”
ULMS and TheCushion.com have agreed to also promote all tracks via their social media channels prior and during events. Its all about promoting our events at each track we go to and sell tickets to fill the grandstands and at same time fans that are not in the area being able to watch drivers such as Max Blair, Wyatt Scott, David Scott, Bryan Bernheisel, Jeff Rine, Greg Oakes, Doug Drown, Mike Norris, Chub Frank, Matt Cosner and so many other great weekly and regional racers that will be attending our events throughout the year online from wherever they are at in the country and world.
For all the North region events, it appears that Kyle Windsor will be doing the videoing work as many of you are familiar with Kyle who has done so much with the Redneck Racechasers youtube page and has started working with DirtonDirt also in the past few years. He has been part of our series for the past several years and will continue to do so in an even bigger role.
T2 Digital Inc is a creative agency formed by Ian Marvuglio & Brian Harmdierks in 2007. Friends throughout college, they went their separate ways after graduation – Brian honing his skills in the IT field and Ian in Web Design and Development. Their love for auto racing kept them in touch and in 2007 they formed T2 Digital to supply a need for live video coverage of niche auto racing that was not covered by traditional television outlets.
As a pioneer in the industry of web based live pay-per-view video broadcasting, T2 Digital spent hundreds of hours perfecting the nuisances of capturing clear live video of race cars traveling almost 150mph. This lead to in-house development of custom encoding computers, specialized video settings and mastering the technical support necessary to deliver live events of any scale. As of 2015, they have over 800 hours of live video broadcasting under their brands and another 2000+ hours with their clients.
Today, T2 Digital still operates house brands for live video broadcasting, but has also expanded to live video consulting, building custom encoding computers for clients as well as managed services for their client’s live events. They also offer network, bandwidth and content delivery solutions for live video streaming as well as basic website hosting all the way up to dedicated server(s).
From humble beginnings of a single website to live stream video of niche auto race events to now helping some of the top brands/companies in the field of auto racing with their live and on-demand video needs – it has been a long road of trial and error, lots of hours and great knowledge thru self-educating. T2 Digital now welcomes sharing their knowledge with other companies so they can benefit from different types of video solutions. Next for T2 Media is expanding out of just auto racing to help companies in all forms of industry. We look forward to our next set of challenges.
“We started The Cushion to provide race fans with access to watch sprint cars and other races on dirt not covered by television. We are now looking to change things up with affordable, inclusive, live and on-demand races plus the addition of original programming. Watch as The Cushion keeps evolving to better to provide race content to fans,” stated Marvuglio.
Zuver stated, “ULMS becomes the first dirt late model series to be streamed by TheCushion.com as open wheel sprint car racing has been the main stay and that is very cool, as we should bring a new crowd base to TheCushion and at the same time, some of the open wheel fans will watch us as well.”
TheCushion can be found on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook along with their website at TheCushion.com. The 2021 monthly subscription for Live Streaming on TheCushion will be announced within the next week (and it will be auto payment recurring until cancelled). Join today and watch the Zimmer Service Center ULMS Late Model Series 2021 #MillionDollarTour top teams run on TheCushion!
