“MID-ATLANTIC TRIPLE CROWN” SET FOR THIS WEEKEND AT HAGERSTOWN, ROARING KNOB & THE ROCK; $2000 TO-WIN EACH NIGHT PLUS BONUSES FOR SWEENEY RUSH L.M. TOUR
June 18, 2013
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Pulaski, PA)…After the first four events were scattered throughout the first couple months of the racing season, things are about to heat up for the Sweeney Chevrolet Buick GMC RUSH Dirt Late Model Touring Series! Three events are on tap this weekend as a busy summer and fall season is about to kick into high gear. The “Mid-Atlantic Triple Crown” presented by RainEater Wiper Blades will feature Touring events this Friday-Sunday (June 21-23) at Hagerstown Speedway, Roaring Knob Motorsports Complex, and The Rock – Allegany County Speedway.

Each night this weekend will pay $2,000 to-win and offer important points toward not only the Touring Series Championships, but also allow competitors to garner points for the Sweeney Chevrolet Buick GMC Weekly Series Championship and “Futures Cup” for those eligible racers. It’ll be races #5-7 on the 27-race Tour schedule. The point champion of the three-night swing will receive a beautiful trophy cup and a TurboStart 16-volt racing battery valued at $252!

“We’re really excited about this weekend,” acknowledged RUSH Series Co-Director Vicki Emig. “The first Hagerstown event was tremendous and drew a lot of excitement and interest from throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, and we’re really looking forward to going back. We can’t thank Lisa Plessinger of Hagerstown enough for having the faith in our Series. And we can’t forget Rick Jones, who really stepped up for us this year at Roaring Knob and The Rock in our inaugural season. Rick tied this weekend together giving racers the opportunity to run for $2,000 to-win all weekend!”

Hagerstown marks a return to the “Capitol of Dirt Track Racing” where history was made when the first RUSH Touring Series event took place on April 20. The fabulous non-stop 30-lap affair was won by Rick Singleton as he was one of the few racers who has had actually turned laps at Hagerstown before. A strong field of 36 cars was present for the Sweeney Chevrolet Buick GMC opening event.

Since then, great racing has continued with Mike Pegher, Jr. victorious at Sharon Speedway on May 25, West Virginia’s Ryan Montgomery came back from a trashed race car to win the following night at Sharon, and most recently New Yorker Bryce Davis won last Friday’s show at McKean County Raceway.

With everything totaled up after four events, Singleton has a nine-point lead on Pegher as he’s yet to finish worse than fourth in any of the four events! Finksburg, Maryland racer Glenn Elliott, who finished runner-up at Hagerstown, had the point lead heading into McKean, but a 12th place finish dropped him to third in the standings. Fourth and fifth are Montgomery and Joe Martin, who’s looking for redemption after seeing a dominating run at McKean go to waste when he got into the wall with less than four laps to go.

Sixth through 15th in the points paying standings are Chad Ruhlman, John Over, Butch Lambert, Canadian Jorden Peters, Ohio female teen Lauren Longbrake, Josh Holtgraver, Josh Double, Matt Latta, Maryland racer Matt Glanden, and Shane Weaver.

With the April 19 show at Roaring Knob being rained out and rescheduled to July 28, Saturday’s show at The Knob will mark the first of five Sweeney Chevrolet Buick GMC Touring Series events at the Markleysburg, Pa. oval. All of the Knob events this season will pay a minimum of $2,000 to-win and will use the qualifying event format!

Saturday will also be one of the K&N Filters “Cold Air Induction” fan giveaways. This system for personal vehicles is valued at up to $500! One lucky fan will leave the Knob with this great prize!

Sunday’s race at The Rock will mark just the second ever Crate Late Model race held at the Allegany County Fairground oval. The Rock held a Sweeney Weekly Series event on April 21 the day after Hagerstown won by Rick Singleton- since then the Cumberland, Maryland oval has been plagued by inclement weather.

The Bobby Lake Motorsports “Shock the Clock & Beat the Heat” Quick Cash programs will be in effect with $100 going to the fast qualifier and $25 to the heat race winners.

The K&N “Cold Air Induction” Dash will be run each night determining the beginning of the feature lineup; it’ll award $100 K&N certificate for the win, $50 certificate for second with $25 cash to all other starters. Chad McClellan, Chad Ruhlman, Glenn Elliott, and Doug Ricotta have picked up the victories so far. Elliott is the K&N point leader.

Other programs taking place this weekend will be the Precise Racing Products “Pedal Down Hard Charger” as the driver that passes the most cars in the feature will receive $100 Precise certificate. RUSH Officials will choose The Brake Man “Tough Brake of the Night” each night as this driver will receive three bottles of Xtreme6 Racing Brake Fluid valued at approximately $45 along with a certificate good for either $50 off of a purchase of $100 or more or 20% off any The Brake Man purchase.

The “Wheelman” Bonus Event Challenge Series will be held for drivers failing to qualify for the feature each night paying $175 to-win, $105 to-start. Randy Wible won the opening event at Hagerstown, Russell Baird, Jr. and Mike Anderson won the Sharon races, and Matt Harvey won at McKean. Jamie Brown is the current point leader.

Feature payoff for each night: 1. $2,000 2. $1,000 3. $650 4. $550 5. $470 6. $435 7. $410 8. $370 9. $340 10. $310 11. $280 12. $270 13. $260 14. $250 15. $240 16. $230 17. $220 18-24. $210.

WoO STP Sprint Car Series Drivers Excited for First Visit to I-94 Speedway on Saturday

Inside Line Promotions – FERGUS FALLS, Minn. (June 18, 2013) – The World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series will make its inaugural visit to a facility for the fourth time this season on Saturday at I-94 Speedway as part of the Gerdau Northern Tour.

“It kinda evens out the field a little bit,” Chad Kemenah said. “Somebody hasn’t raced there 20 or 30 times. Everyone goes there and tries to compare it to a race track they’ve been to that is somewhat close.”

Minnesota native Craig Dollansky hasn’t competed at the 3/8-mile track, but said he watched a race a couple of years ago.

“I have seen it and it’s a beautiful facility,” he said.

Five-time series champion Donny Schatz, who has claimed the last two World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series events, said that he has raced at I-94 Speedway when he was beginning his racing career.

“Not since about 1993 or 1994,” he said. “That’s 20 years since I’ve been there. I remember it being a nice facility then. It had a pretty good bank to it and there was a lot of excitement for sure. I hear a lot of good things about it from the racers who race stock cars up here.”

NASCAR sensation Kyle Larson, 20-time series champion Steve Kinser and Tim Kaeding have each picked up a victory in the previous World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series inaugural races at a track this season.

LaSalle Speedway Hosts World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series on June 28

Inside Line Promotions – LaSALLE, Ill. (June 17, 2013) – Although he hasn’t spent much time competing at LaSalle Speedway, Joey Saldana looks forward to the World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series return on Friday, June 28.

Saldana, who is in search of his first victory of the season, claimed the 2010 event – the last time the premier sprint car series visited the quarter-mile oval.

“I never really raced there much, but it’s pretty similar to a lot of the track that I grew up at,” he said. “It produces very good, close racing.”

Saldana and Paul McMahan put on a thrilling show during the 2010 race. McMahan led the first 21 laps as Saldana worked forward from his sixth starting position. On a restart on Lap 22, Saldana powered to the lead around the high groove and maintained the lead through traffic to earn his first career win at LaSalle Speedway.

“It’s definitely one of those tracks that you get after it,” he said. “Lapped traffic plays a big part of it.”

Saldana is one of seven winners in the eighth World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series races at LaSalle Speedway. Steve Kinser, a 20-time series champion, is the only driver to record multiple victories.

Dave Blaney, Sammy Swindell, Mark Kinser, Stevie Smith and Danny Lasoski also each have one win at the high-banked track.

Fans can support Jason Leffler’s family during Ohio Sprint Speedweek
Contact: Rich Farmer

FREMONT, Ohio – Following the tragic death of racer Jason Leffler earlier this week, many race fans have expressed a desire to help his family – particularly his five-year-old son, Charlie.

Fremont Speedway is organizing all the tracks that are hosting races during the 31st Annual Ohio Sprint Speedweek coming up at the end of the month, to collect funds for Leffler’s family.

“We wanted to show Jason’s family…his son, that racing is a great sport filled with caring, wonderful people. We know all of the fans and all of the tracks will embrace Jason’s family and will be very generous with their support,” said Fremont Speedway Promoter Rich Farmer.

Leffler, a versatile driver who won championships in USAC and competed in each of NASCAR’s three national series, died Wednesday night after a crash in a 410 sprint car at a track in New Jersey. The Long Beach, California native was affectionately known as “LEFturn” and had the nickname stenciled above his driver’s side window.

Farmer said there are still details to be ironed out, but so far all of the tracks involved in Speedweek are on board with having drivers go through the stands seeking donations for Leffler’s family. Also, beginning this weekend, racer Craig Mintz and his dad, Les, through their business Design Graphics Group, have donated stickers in Jason’s memory that will be sold at various tracks.

Ohio Sprint Speedweek, which features the University of Northwestern Ohio All Star Circuit of Champions, kicks off Friday, June 21 at Attica Raceway Park then travels to Tony Stewart’s Eldora Speedway on Saturday, June 22 and Waynesfield Raceway Park near Lima on Sunday, June 23. From there the series heads to the NAPA Wayne County Speedway near Orville, Ohio on Monday, June 24 and then to Sharon Speedway near Hartford, Ohio on Tuesday, June 25. After an off day on Wednesday, Speedweek stops at Fremont Speedway on Thursday, June 27 followed by Limaland Motorsports Park on Friday, June 28 and a big finale at Fremont Speedway on Saturday, June 29.
