Stateline to continue under RUSH banner in 2025 with LM & Pro Mods along with addit...

14 November 2024 - 10:02 AM

STATELINE SPEEDWAY TO CONTINUE UNDER HOVIS RUSH RACING SERIES BANNER IN 2025 WITH WEEKLY SERIES ACTION IN LATE MODELS & PRO MODS; RUSH STOCK CARS TO BE ADDED TO PROGRAM

By Mike Leone

 

November 14, 2024               FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

(Busti, NY)...With the sale of Stateline Speedway recently taking place from the Scott and Turner families to Bill and Lisa Catania, the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply RUSH Racing Series presented by Born2Run Lubricants is thrilled to announce that the RUSH Late Models and RUSH Pro Mods will return for Weekly Series action in 2025.  In addition, the RUSH Stock Cars have been added to Stateline's weekly Saturday night program! 

 

With the recent announcement of Tri-City Raceway Park adding the RUSH Stock Cars to their new Friday night program, teams will now have a three-night circuit in the area!  Eriez Speedway will continue to run the RUSH Stock Cars for the fifth straight year on Sunday nights.  Drivers have the ability to join RUSH to be part of the $7,500 Stock Car Weekly Series points fund that pays the top 15 members with $2,000 to the champion.  Eligible teenage member racers can compete for the 3C Graphix Futures Chip Championship.  Member drivers also receive $100,000 in excess participant accident insurance. 

 

"First and foremost we can't thank the Scotts and Turners enough for their commitment to RUSH over the past 10 years," acknowledged RUSH Director Vicki Emig.  "Their car counts have been tremendous in our RUSH Late Models, both Weekly and Touring, and have been the foundation for our RUSH Pro Mod division.  We're thrilled the Catanias are going to continue where the Scotts and Turners left off with those two division, and I was elated when Bill told me Stateline will be running our RUSH Stocks weekly in 2025.  All good things come to those that wait and this announcement should really catapult the division's growth with three weekly tracks at these three tremendous facilities all within 50 miles of each other!"

 

“The only gap I feel we have in the weekly racing line-up is the lack of a true entry-level stock car class at Stateline Speedway,” said Stateline Speedway owner Bill Catania. “The RUSH Stock Cars offer an affordable rear-wheel drive option that currently doesn’t exist in our weekly line-up. Eriez made a commitment to the RUSH Stock Cars, stuck with it, and built a great following, and with Tri City recently announcing the addition of the class, timing is good to “double down” and show a commitment to the class and give local teams a place to compete on Saturday nights.  The Pro Stock class will continue to operate under the existing rules package.  The RUSH Late Models and Pro Mods put on a great show and we’re thrilled to continue the partnership with RUSH; Vicki has built a outstanding product and we’re thrilled to offer it to our fans!”

 

Stateline has annually led the way in car counts for RUSH Late Model weekly-sanctioned tracks; in fact, they've averaged an impressive 24 or more cars each year for the past six years!  In 2021, an all-time record high car count for Chevrolet Performance Late Models at Stateline was achieved with 43 cars on hand for the Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Touring Series "Bill Law Memorial" event!  In 2023, 42 cars were on hand for the event and once again 43 this past year!  The Tour will return to Stateline on May 10, 2025.

 

Jason Genco has won Stateline's $1,000 City Chevrolet Track Pack Championship for the RUSH Late Model division each of the last three years!  The top six drivers in RUSH member points at Stateline will once again share $2,500 in 2025 for the Track Pack.  Stateline's RUSH Late Model also have the opportunity to take part in the valuable "National Weekly" Championship program, as well as the "Future's Cup program for teenage drivers.

 

Stateline has been the home for Saturday night RUSH Pro Mod racing since the division's inception in 2016.  Stateline has had the highest weekly car count average for the division annually.  With Stateline continuing to run the RUSH Pro Mods in 2025, racers will be able to compete three nights per week with weekly racing on Fridays at McKean County Raceway and Sundays at Bradford Speedway in addition to expected events at Freedom Motorsports Park and Genesee Speedway.

 

Stateline Speedway is located nine miles southwest of Jamestown, NY, south of Busti, NY at 4150 Kortwright Rd., Jamestown, NY 14701. For more information, check out their website at www.newstatelinespeedway.com.  Like their Facebook page at www.facebook.com/newstatelinespeedwaybustiny.

Dave Poske's Performance Parts to present new MOV Series for RUSH LM in 2025

01 November 2024 - 03:28 PM

DAVE POSKE'S PERFORMANCE PARTS TO PRESENT NEW MID-OHIO VALLEY SERIES FOR HOVIS RUSH LATE MODELS IN 2025 WITH POINTS FUND & LOYALTY BONUS

By Mike Leone

 

November 1, 2024               FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

(Parkersburg, WV)...The Hovis Auto & Truck Supply RUSH Dirt Late Model Series presented by Born2Run Lubricants is excited to announce the addition of a Mid-Ohio Valley Championship Series for the 2025 season!   Dave Poske's Performance Parts will present the new Series, which to start will include all RUSH Late Model events at Tyler County Speedway, Muskingum County Speedway, and Ohio Valley Speedway with additional speedways in the West Virginia and southern Ohio to possibly be added.

 

The goal of the program is to expand and nurture RUSH Late Model racing in the Mid-Ohio Valley.  A minimum points fund of $6,650 for the top 10 RUSH member drivers has been established.  In addition, Dave Poske's Performance Parts will present a loyalty program that will award one lucky racer a $1,000 Poske's gift certificate!  Specifics of the points fund and loyalty program will be announced at a later date. 

 

Tyler County Speedway has been part of RUSH for the last three years hosting City Chevrolet Weekly Series events and scheduling two to three Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Touring Series events annually.  For 2025, the RUSH Late Models will continue to be part of Tyler County's weekly program under their new promotional team led by Doug Doak and Scott Jenkins.  Tyler County is expected to host two Tour events in 2025.  Having Tyler County now part of the stand alone Mid-Ohio Valley Series will be an added bonus for their racers. 

 

The Moran Family's Muskingum County Speedway got the ball rolling in 2024 by adding the RUSH Late Models to all of their scheduled events.  Seven events were completed with an amazing seven different winners from five states, and showcased just how competitive the division is!

 

"Muskingum coming on board in 2024 created  a great deal of interest for the RUSH Late Model program in the Mid-Ohio Valley area," stated RUSH Director Vicki Emig.  "It has definitely set the foundation for a strong and viable Chevrolet Performance Crate Late Model program in this region into the future." 

 

Tyler County and Muskingum's 2025 events will also continue to be part of the valuable City Chevrolet National Weekly Series and the City Chevrolet Track Pack as the top six RUSH member racers will share in $2,500 with $1,000 going to the champion at each track.

 

Ohio Valley Speedway is owned by Rich Michael, Jr., who is the brother of New York RUSH Late Model veteran Andy Michael and uncle to 2024 RUSH Stock Car Champion  Kaedan Michael. Ohio Valley had a much anticipated first ever RUSH Late Model event scheduled in 2024 as a $4,000 to-win Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Touring Series event presented by Dave Poske's Performance Parts; however, that event, along with the three scheduled for Tyler County Speedway were all rained out.  For 2025, Ohio Valley is expected to host four RUSH Late Model events including a Tour event.    

 

"We can't thank these speedways and Todd Frye from Poske's Performance Parts for helping put this program together to continue to grow the RUSH Late Model concept throughout this region," added Emig.  "The Mid-Ohio Valley Series will allow drivers from this area to have a much larger schedule of events without having to do much travelling as well as their own Championship program to compete in while at the same time being able to utilize their finishes in our other Weekly Series programs.  I look forward to actively speaking with other promoters in the MOV region to possibly add additional events."

 

The 2025 RUSH Late Model Mid-Ohio Valley Championship will be based on RUSH member drivers' best 'X' number of finishes amongst all scheduled events (both Weekly and Touring) in this region.  These drivers will also be eligible to earn point fund monies in the City Chevrolet National Weekly Series Championship that pays the top 40 drivers $27,525, City Chevrolet Track Pack at Tyler County and Muskingum, and 3C Graphix Futures Cup for those eligible racers, and of course take part in the Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Touring Series Championship.  Approximately $150,000 in cash point funds will be up for grabs for RUSH racers in 2025! 

 

Dave Poske's Performance Parts presented the "Feel the RUSH" Four-Wide Salute at all Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Touring Series events in 2024 and were to present the Independence Day weekend Tour events at Tyler County and Ohio Valley.  Poske's is located just off of I-77 at WV State Rt 47, just 3/8 mi. west of the Interstate exit (exit 174) in Parkersburg, West Virginia.  For additional info, check out their website at www.poske.com or call 800-430-7223.  Like them on Facebook at www.facebook.com/DavePoskesPerformance

Tri-City to join Eriez to provide dual weekly venues in western PA for RUSH Stocks in 2025

01 November 2024 - 10:02 AM

TRI-CITY TO JOIN ERIEZ TO PROVIDE DUAL WEEKLY VENUES IN WESTERN PA FOR HOVIS RUSH STOCK CARS IN 2025

 

November 1, 2024                 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

(Franklin, PA)...The Hovis Auto & Truck Supply RUSH Racing Series presented by Born2Run Lubricants is pleased to announce the addition of the RUSH Stock Car division to the weekly program at Tri-City Raceway Park in 2025!  The RUSH Stock Cars will be part of the new Friday night program that will also include the RUSH Sprint Cars.  The addition of Tri-City to the RUSH Stock Car Weekly Series program will give racers two venues within 50 miles of each other in western Pennsylvania to race weekly joining Sunday night's Eriez Speedway!

 

The RUSH Stock Car Series debuted in 2021.  The RUSH Stocks look like "stock cars" resembling Monte Carlos and are powered by Chevrolet Performance 602 crate engines on sealed/spec Bilstein Shocks, and Hoosier spec tires.  Those three key "cost-containment" elements have already proved very successful in the RUSH Sportsman Modified and Sprint Car divisions, both of which continue to have strong forward momentum with great car counts and extremely competitive racing. 

 

Estimated current cost for a complete Chevrolet Performance 602 engine package, carb to pan, range from $7,500 (used) to $10,500 (new), racers who competed in the class this year estimate they have $12,000-$16,000 in their complete cars. 

 

Drivers also have the ability to join RUSH to be part of the $7,500 Weekly Series points fund that pays the top 15 members with $2,000 to the champion.  Eligible teenage member racers can compete for the 3C Graphix Futures Chip Championship.  Member drivers also receive $100,000 in excess participant accident insurance. 

 

"We're here for the long haul and realize the importance of including affordable divisions for racers to participate in as part of our weekly program," stated Tri-City owner Josh Shiffer.  "Both the RUSH Sprint Cars and RUSH Stock Cars fit that need.  Couple that with the strong history and success that these type of Stock Cars had at Tri-City for well over 30 years from the 1970s through the 2000s, and I really believe that over the next couple of years we can build the RUSH Stock Cars into a very viable and important piece of Tri-City.  It's also pretty awesome that a racer competing in the RUSH Stock Cars if at any time would want to move onto the RUSH Sprints or RUSH Sportsman Modifieds, could utilize his same GM 602 crate engine in the transition!"    

 

"I can't express how pleased I was when Josh called to let me know that they would be adding the RUSH Stock Cars to their new Friday night program stated," RUSH Director Vicki Emig.  "We had hoped over the last couple of years that a track in the western Pa. area would pick them up and  partner with Eriez, who has been steadfast in their belief in the need for a true 'cost-containment' Stock Car division over the past four years."

 

"We've continued to have racers reach out to us in hopes that another track in the proximity of Eriez would pick-up the RUSH Stocks on a weekly basis and I think Tri-City is a perfect fit," added Emig.  "In this footprint, as well as a surrounding radius of 100 miles, there's a deep bed of both current and former racers, their friends and family, along with fans who well remember the strong fields of Stock Cars that competed throughout this area.  Those Stock Cars were on a technical rules package very similar to the RUSH Stock Cars, and thrived in this region.  I'm betting the addition of Tri-City is going to ignite a huge amount of interest in the division moving into the 2025 season!"

 

In 2024, the RUSH Stock Cars completed 21 events at four different speedways.  Kaden Michael, who won the 2023 3C Graphix Futures Cup for the Stocks, went on to be the 2024 Weekly Series Champion worth $2,000.  Seventeen-year-old Alex Bush was the 2024 3C Graphix Futures Cup Champion in his second year of racing. 

 

2025 RUSH Stock Car Weekly Series Championship Points Fund: 1. $2,000  2. $1,000  3. $750  4. $500  5. $400  6. $350  7. $325  8. $300  9. $290  10. $280  11. $270  12. $265  13. $260  14. $255  15. $250.

2025 RUSH Stock Car 3C Graphix Futures Cup: 1. $300. Others positions TBA based on participation.

Bridgeport to kickoff 2025 RUSH LM Tour with $10,000 to-win event April 4-5

30 October 2024 - 10:00 AM

BRIDGEPORT TO KICKOFF 2025 HOVIS RUSH LATE MODEL FLYNN'S TIRE/GUNTER'S HONEY TOUR WITH RICHEST OPENER IN HISTORY; $10,000 TO-WIN AT THE "KINGDOM OF SPEED" APRIL 4-5 WILL BE THE 1ST EVER NEW JERSEY RUSH EVENT

By Mike Leone

 

October 30, 2024                   FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

(Swedesboro, NJ)...Less than a month after the conclusion of the richest Hovis Auto & Truck Supply RUSH Late Model Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Touring Series season in history, which featured a dramatic finale as 14-year-old phenom Brock Pinkerous captured the $20,000 to-win title by a mere point over four-time champion Jeremy Wonderling at Lernerville Speedway on October 12,  Series directors Vicki Emig and Mike Leone have already been diligently working to make 2025 even bigger and better.   With that said, the 2025 Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Tour will open with a $10,000 to-win event April 4-5 at Bridgeport Motorsports Park!

 

The high-banked 4/10-mile "Kingdom of Speed" is located just minutes from the Pennsylvania and Delaware borders in Swedesboro, New Jersey.  The event will make history on several levels; not only will it be the richest opener in Series history, but will also mark the first ever RUSH-sanctioned event in the state of New Jersey and the first ever Chevrolet Performance Late Model event at Bridgeport!

 

"We like to kickoff our seasons in a big way and what better way to do it than with a $10,000 to-win RUSH Late Model Touring Series race," expressed Bridgeport owner Doug Rose.  "Late Models on the 'High Banks' is always an exciting event for both racers and fans!"

"What an opener this will be for our 2025 RUSH Late Model Touring Series," expressed Emig.  "To be able to kickoff the season with a $10,000 to-win event is certainly going to continue the strong forward momentum that the Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Touring Series has once again experienced this past season.  The 2024 Touring Series car counts were tremendous and set a record with an average of 40 cars per event despite losing several events to Mother Nature that would have experienced high car counts!  Our racers continue to provide fans with exciting door-to-door, edge of your seat racing with the winner being determined more often than not on the final few laps.  I believe with this early opening date and $10,000 to-win, East Coast fans will be able to witness some of the very best Chevrolet Performance crate engine Late Model racers in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic roll into the Kingdom of Speed!"   

 

"We developed a relationship with Bridgeport's owner Doug Rose this past season," explained Emig.  "We provided technical assistance for his $10,000 to win Sportsman Modified event in October and also provided our RUSH engine sealing system for his non-wing Sprint Car division.  Bridgeport has already announced that their Sportsman Modifieds will now join the program in 2025 as both utilize the Chevrolet Performance 602 crate engine."

 

Additional details surrounding the event including the Friday portion will be announced in the future.  There will also be a rain date of Sunday.  Stay tuned for more information regarding the 2025 season throughout the off-season.

 

Bridgeport Speedway is a premier dirt track facility located just 20 miles from downtown Philadelphia in Logan Township (Gloucester County) at 83 Flood Gate Road Swedesboro, NJ 08085.  For more information, check out their website at https://bridgeportmotorsportspark.com/, like them on Facebook at https://www.facebook...geportSpeedway, and follow them on X @bridgeportspeed.
