By Mike Leone
March 4, 2024 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Northern Cambria, PA)...After sitting dark in 2023, the roar of race cars will once again return to Dog Hollow Speedway in 2024. Friday night racing will commence in the spring at the Northern Cambria, Pa. track with Hovis Auto & Truck Supply RUSH Late Models on the weekly card. The new management team, J&E Motorsports, is led by first year promoter John Seiler and his wife Elaine. Dog Hollow will have a pair of Saturday afternoon practices on April 6 and April 13. The season opener is scheduled for Friday, April 19 with weekly racing scheduled to continue through September 27.
The 2024 season will mark the Indiana County facility's 26th anniversary, which began operating in 1998. Under owner and former promoter Jim Michny, Dog Hollow was one of the first four founding speedways to run Chevrolet Performance Crate Late Models in the Northeast weekly beginning in 2007 and have raced there ever since.
"It's great to see the Seilers breathe life back into Dog Hollow and we're thrilled to have the track once again on board with the RUSH program," stated Director Vicki Emig. "This will give racers in the central part of our region the ability to race once again on Friday nights, and additional opportunities to compete for our valuable RUSH Championship programs. Dog Hollow becomes the 21st speedway that will host RUSH Late Model sanctioned events in 2024!"
RUSH member racers will be able to participate at Dog Hollow on a weekly basis in 2024 and be eligible for all of the programs including the City Chevrolet National Weekly Series Championship, City Chevrolet "Track Pack Bonus" program, and the 3C Graphix “Futures Cup” for those eligible racers. While membership is not mandatory to compete in any RUSH-sanctioned event, membership also includes a $100,000 excess participant accident policy, which is over and above drivers’ health insurance and speedways’ participant accident policy.
The City Chevrolet "Track Pack Bonus" is offered to all RUSH weekly-sanctioned speedways, and once again in 2024 will award $2,500 that each track's top six member racers will share. The 2024 RUSH member champion at Dog Hollow will earn $1,000 with $500 for second, $400 for third, $300 for fourth, $200 for fifth, and $100 for sixth.
Under RUSH at Dog Hollow, Joe Moyer (2018), Tim Snare, Jr. (2019), and Michael Duritsky, Jr. (2021-2022) were the "Track Pack" member champions.
Dog Hollow Speedway is located 3.5 miles north of Route 422 in Strongstown, Pa. just off Route 403 North at 76 Hamill Road, Northern Cambria, PA 15714.
