- PACE RUSH PRO MODS HIT THEIR STRIDE & READY FOR BIGGEST SEASON EVER; 44 EVENTS INCLUDING RICHEST EVENT IN HISTORY- $2500 TO-WIN AT MCKEAN ON JUNE 19, $3500 TO WIN CHAMPIONSHIP EXPECTED TO BE HOTLY CONTESTED
(Pulaski, PA)...The Pace Performance RUSH Pro Mod Series together with Sweeney Chevrolet Buick GMC is set for its biggest and richest season to date. The 2021 slate of events for the RUSH Pro Mods will feature a record 44 events at four speedways in northwest Pennsylvania and western New York including their crown jewel event, the richest in history paying $2,500 to-win at McKean County Raceway on June 19! Drivers will also be competing for the $15,000+ Weekly Series point fund that will award $3,500 to the champion and is expected to be hotly contested throughout the season between the division's standouts. The 2021 season will mark the sixth in Series history for the RUSH Pro Mods. After Justin Carlson won the inaugural championship in 2016, Dennis Lunger, Jr. is coming off his fourth straight title. Stateline Speedway was the first track to run the division weekly in 2016 before the Series expanded to Bradford Speedway and McKean in 2017. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic disrupting the 2020 season, thanks to new Bradford promoter Dennis Cummings, the Pro Mods raced for their biggest weekly purses to date, and over the offseason, new life has been breathed into McKean thanks to Joel Smith and Ken Leet taking over the lease. With weekly racing at Stateline on Saturdays, Bradford on Sundays, eight events at McKean, and a midweek special at Genesee Speedway, 2021 is poised to be the biggest. The season will get underway on April 25 at McKean. Amongst the schedule will be "Manufacturers Night" presented by MSD Performance on June 12 at Stateline, which features thousands of dollars of valuable product giveaways to competing racers. The Pro Mods will be part of the World of Outlaws Late Model event at Stateline on June 17, and two days later race for their richest purse in their six-year history with $2,500 on the line at McKean! That event will also include the RUSH Late Models for $2,500 to-win and the RUSH Sprint Cars for $1,000 to-win. Johnson Distributing of Olean, NY will present the June 19 $2,500 to win event titled, "One Last Ride," in honor of Bud Johnson, a driving legend across the region, and Pete Parker, who fielded the famous #27 that Johnson piloted to countless victories at numerous area speedways in the 60s and 70s. The RUSH Pro Mods will also be part of the two-day season ending events at Bradford on September 24-25 and McKean's "Fall Classic" on October 1-2. There will be at least nine new drivers from various backgrounds joining the class in 2021; 20-year-old Timothy Eastman of Delevan, NY, 45-year-old Brett Ritter of Belfast, NY, 42-year-old Victor Earle, Jr. of Smethport, Pa., 57-year-old Dean Ingalls of Belmont, NY, 44-year-old Mike Eschrich of Mt. Jewett, Pa., 30-year-old Tyler Carlin of Belmont, NY, Dwayne Powers, along with "Futures Cup" racers 16-year-old Derek Peterson of Wilcox, Pa. and 15-year-old Ian DeGolier of Bradford, Pa. This group combined with an already stellar group of RUSH Pro Mod racers is certain to give the division a tremendous boost both this season and moving forward. "It's going to be a huge year for RUSH Pro Mod racers," acknowledged RUSH Director Vicki Emig. "The class is finally getting its legs as more and more racers realize how exciting and cost-effective the RUSH Pro Mod division is in comparison to other similar modified divisions, which is resulting in more and more drivers getting involved. It's tremendous to see at least nine new drivers ready to compete in the division this season. It's taken some time to get the division positioned where it is now, but I really believe 2021 is going to be the breakout year for the class. I know other regional speedways have been watching the development of the class as an affordable option for modified racing, and I expect this year's success and forward momentum to be a juggernaut for other exciting things to happen for the division in the future." "Stateline initially wanted to develop this class, and through it all has been the anchor track staying steadfast on their belief that the region needed a cost-effective modified division," continued Emig. "Of course the pandemic hit them the hardest, but they are full speed ahead for 2021. We also have to thank Dennis Cummings for taking over Bradford last year and not only giving the Pro Mods a home in 2020, but offering tremendous payoffs throughout the season that were truly appreciated. After a two-year layoff, McKean returning to racing with Joel and Ken at the helm has really solidified the division's footing. We can't thank these promoters for their support and commitment to the RUSH Pro Mods." 2021 RUSH membership forms are available on the website at https://rushpromods.com/memberships.html 2021 Weekly Series Point Fund ($15,050): 1. $3,500 2. $2,000 3. $1,200 4. $1,000 5. $900 6. $800 7. $700 8. $600 9. $500 10. $400 11. $390 12. $380 13. $370 14. $360 15. $350 16. $340 17. $330 18. $320 19. $310 20. $300. 2021 Futures Cup Point Fund: 1. $300 2. $200 3. $100. 2021 RUSH Pro Mod Schedule* Sunday, April 25 McKean County Raceway Saturday, May 1 Stateline Speedway Saturday, May 8 Stateline Speedway Saturday, May 15 Stateline Speedway Saturday, May 22 Stateline Speedway Sunday, May 23 Bradford Speedway Thursday, May 27 McKean County Raceway Saturday, May 29 Stateline Speedway Sunday, May 30 Bradford Speedway Saturday, June 5 Stateline Speedway Sunday, June 6 Bradford Speedway Saturday, June 12 Stateline Speedway - "Manufacturers Night" presented by MSD Performance Sunday, June 13 Bradford Speedway Thursday, June 17 Stateline Speedway - with World of Outlaws Late Models Saturday, June 19 McKean County Raceway - $2500 to-win Sunday, June 20 Bradford Speedway Saturday, June 26 Stateline Speedway Sunday, June 27 Bradford Speedway Thursday, July 1 McKean County Raceway Saturday, July 3 Stateline Speedway Sunday, July 4 Bradford Speedway Thursday, July 8 Genesee Speedway Saturday, July 10 McKean County Raceway Thursday, July 15 Bradford Speedway Sunday, July 18 Bradford Speedway Saturday, July 24 Stateline Speedway Sunday, July 25 Bradford Speedway Thursday, July 29 McKean County Raceway Saturday, July 31 Stateline Speedway Sunday, August 1 Bradford Speedway Friday, August 6 Bradford Speedway Saturday, August 7 Stateline Speedway - Fan Appreciation/Autograph Night Sunday, August 15 Bradford Speedway Saturday, August 21 Stateline Speedway Sunday, August 22 Bradford Speedway Sunday, August 29 Bradford Speedway Friday, September 3 Stateline Speedway Saturday, September 4 Stateline Speedway Sunday, September 5 Bradford Speedway Sunday, September 19 Bradford Speedway Friday, September 24 Bradford Speedway Saturday, September 25 Bradford Speedway Friday, October 1 McKean County Raceway - "Fall Classic" Saturday, October 2 McKean County Raceway - "Fall Classic" *Schedule is subject to change.

- Medieval Chassis new USRA Stock Car title sponsor
MANKATO, Minnesota (March 3)—Medieval Chassis has signed a three-year contract with the United States Racing Association to be the title sponsor of the USRA Stock Car division through the end of the 2023 season. Medieval Chassis is returning in 2021 for a third year as a supporter of Summit USRA Weekly Racing Series competitors. In 2020, Mitch Hovden wheeled his Medieval Chassis to the USRA Stock Car national championship as well as claiming the Christie Door Iron Man Challenge title. "We look forward to continuing our partnership and to help expand USRA's great racing across the country," said Medieval Chassis co-owner Dana Olson. Founded in 2004, Medieval Chassis was formed to fulfill a need for a better engineered race car. From its humble beginnings in a two-stall garage to its new state-of-the-art facility, Medieval Chassis has become the leader in the stock car racing industry and has been engineered and developed into a platform that exceeds all other chassis in performance and adjustability. In 2017, Medieval Chassis expanded its facility and invested in a fiber tube laser, CNC tube bender, flat laser and press brake. Medieval Chassis is using their new space, technology and machines to further develop their chassis and products. In addition to chassis and their product line, Medieval has also expanded into the custom manufacturing industry, producing formed tubes and components for other chassis builders throughout the country. In addition to padding the regional and national points funds, Medieval Chassis will distribute year-end awards to the top five USRA Stock Car finishers in the final national points and again will award a new chassis which will be raffled off at the USRA awards banquet. Past winners include Lynn Panos, Hovden and Travis Shipman. To learn more about Medieval Chassis, call (507) 386-3930 or check them out online at medievalchassis.com.

- RICKY STENHOUSE JR. HOMETOWN CHALLENGE SET FOR WEST MEMPHIS, APRIL 2-3
West Memphis, Arkansas (March 3, 2021)………The Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Hometown Challenge comes home to Riverside International Speedway in West Memphis, Arkansas on April 2-3 for a USAC Midget non-points, special event. The Clayton Allen promoted event will feature two complete shows at the track known as "The Ditch" on both Friday and Saturday night on the first weekend of April and marks the first time for midget competition at West Memphis since 2016 where Tanner Thorson and Bryan Clauson collected the top honors as feature winner on each of the two nights. The event will pay $3,000 to win each night and $300 to start. Start times and tickets prices for the event will be announced in the coming weeks. The Hometown Challenge is named for current NASCAR Cup Series driver and two-time series winner Ricky Stenhouse Jr. The native of nearby Olive Branch, Mississippi, located about 30 miles southeast of West Memphis, cut his teeth racing at the 1/4-mile, gumbo-surfaced high-banked track. West Memphis has been a family tradition for the Stenhouse family with young Ricky practically growing up at the place as he watched his father race there on a weekly basis before taking the wheel himself and going on to become the Rookie of the Year for both the USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship and the AMSOIL Sprint Car National Championship in 2007, and twice earning the NASCAR Xfinity Series title in 2011-12. The "Hometown Challenge" will not pay points toward the USAC NOS Energy Drink Midget National Championship due to a USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car event being scheduled at Indiana's Lawrenceburg Speedway on its traditional date on the first weekend of April - Saturday, April 3. Only two previous USAC sanctioned midget events have taken place in the state of Arkansas, both at West Memphis in 2016. Meanwhile, Arkansas has hosted USAC National Sprint Cars on four occasions, three of which were held at West Memphis, races won by Mike Ward (1985), Brady Bacon (2012) and Dave Darland (2013). APRIL 2-3 RICKY STENHOUSE JR.

- Both nights of USMTS Texas Spring Nationals back at RPM Speedway this weekend
CRANDALL, Texas (March 2)—The weather during the first two months of 2021 have thrown a wrench in the plans of many in the racing world. In fact, the 11th Annual USMTS Texas Spring Nationals slated for this Friday and Saturday, March 5-6, is making another adjustment today. Due to oversaturated grounds from heavy rain this week, officials at the Superbowl Speedway in Greenville, Texas, have announced that the track will not be able to host Saturday's event. Therefore, both days are now back at the RPM Speedway in Crandall, Texas. The Best of the Best in dirt modified racing will be lighting the fuse to kick off the 2021 campaign for the Summit USMTS National Championship fueled by Casey's and guaranteed to deliver some fast and furious entertainment for Texans who have suffered through snow, ice, rain and rolling blackouts to start the new year. Dirt modified racing's best of the best will bang wheels for $10,000 to win each night as the biggest, boldest and richest season in the 23-year history of the series gets underway in the Lone Star State with racing this Friday and Saturday. USRA Limited Mods, USRA Factory Stocks, USRA Tuners and Eco Mods will also be part of the program. The USMTS competitors have banged wheels six times at the RPM Speedway, including four times last fall. After a rain-out in 2012, Johnny Scott won the series debut here in 2013 with Rodney Sanders grabbing the win when the USMTS returned 79 days later. Dereck Ramirez garnered the win last September before the series returned for the three-night season finale in November. That event produced first-time winners Jack Sartain and Brandon Sheppard on Thursday and Friday with Sheppard backing up his victory with a second straight on Saturday night. On Friday, pits open at 3 p.m., grandstands open at 5 and racing gets underway at 7 p.m. On Saturday, pits open at 3 p.m., grandstands open at 4 and racing starts at 6 p.m. With more favorable conditions and an already-prepared racing surface, RPM Speedway officials are optimistic that a test 'n' tune session will happen but will make an official announcement at 3 p.m. Wednesday regarding whether an open practice will be held on Thursday. The RPM Speedway is a 1/4-mile semi-banked dirt oval located southeast of Crandall on US 175 E to CR 4106 (Bud Stoy Rd. exit) to the intersection of CR 4104. The physical address is 1267 Co Rd 4106, Crandall, TX 75114. For more information, check out rpmdirt.com. USMTS TAKING DIRT TO NEW LEVEL IN 2021 The 2021 campaign for the Summit USMTS National Championship fueled by Casey's features 36 nights of racing with the winners of those main events set to take home over $300,000 in earnings from more than $1 million in prize money earmarked for those shows. Twenty-six of the 36 race nights will pay at least $10,000 to win while the other 10 carry a $5,000 top prize. As if that weren't enough, more than $230,000 is committed to the top ten finishers in the 2021 points standings with a record $70,000 reserved for the 2021 USMTS National Champion.

- Saturated Grounds Halts ASCS Elite Non-Wing Texas Wingless Nationals
Bryan Hulbert - ENNIS, Texas (March 1, 2021) Already very wet from the recent winter storms, heavy rainfall Sunday and continuing into Monday has forced officials with the ASCS Elite Non-Wing Series presented by Abilene Powder Coating and Big O Speedway to call off this weekend's Smiley's Racing Products Texas Wingless Nationals. "I hate to cancel a show, especially on a Monday. If we had just received the rain, it wouldn't have been a big deal this far out, but with the ground already so wet from all the recent snow melting, the amount of rain they got last night, and with it still raining, it's just too much," stated ASCS Elite Non-Wing owner and founder, Nathan Moore. "Not what we wanted. Regardless, I need to thank Jim and Bridgett Moon at Big O Speedway for sticking their necks out on this show, and appreciate their support for this series."
