Suzanne Marie Mergele (1999–2009, 2015–2019) Richard Rawlings (born March 30, 1969) is an American[5] entrepreneur and media personality.

[8] Beginning in 2014,[9] Rawlings was featured in national television commercials promoting Dodge vehicles and financing.

[13] On March 11, 2019, Rawlings announced via his Twitter account that Suzanne and he were separating and filing for divorce.

[23] In May 2007, Richard Rawlings and co-pilot Dennis Collins allegedly broke the 1979 Cannonball Run time from New York City to Los Angeles of 32 hours and 51 minutes.

The two bet rival Jay Riecke that they could beat the time in their 2007 Bullrun entry, a black Ferrari 550, modified with extra fuel cells.

They were the only pair to defeat the 1975 mark by Rick Cline and Jack May in a Ferrari Dino, as all other competitors did not leave and arrive at the correct locations or took alternate routes that did not follow the original Cannonball Runs of the 1970s.
