Race #6 of the 2018 season was a rescheduled event from the May 20 rain out. Eriez was miraculously able to complete the program despite all day rains just south and west of the speedway. The track only received very light showers throughout the day even though it sprinkled and drizzled throughout the entire night. The result was an excellent racey surface and provided great racing for the fans.

Max Blair opened the 2018 Sweeney Touring Series season winning night one of the "Battle of the Bay" Speedweek presented by Pancho's Racing Products back on April 18 at Delaware International Speedway. On Sunday, Blair emerged victorious after a spirited side-by-side battle with Jeremy Wonderling that lasted for 12 laps before getting by for good on lap 21 to earn the $2,000 victory. Max has now won five of the six Sweeney Tour events held at Eriez in the past four seasons with his father Rob winning the other in a substitution role in 2016!

By Mike Leone May 22, 2018

(Pulaski, PA)...Mother Nature certainly hasn't been kind to many of the speedways under the Sweeney Chevrolet Buick GMC RUSH Racing Series powered by Pace Performance banner in 2018.

By Mike Leone April 26, 2018

All four tracks had a minimum of 40 cars and despite less than favorable weather, and all have already stated their intention to do it again in 2019!

A total of 63 different drivers from six states (Pennsylvania, New York, West Virginia, Maryland, Virginia, and Delaware) plus Ontario, Canada participated. The average car count was 42.75. A total of 28 different drivers ran all four nights! Another five drivers ran three of the four nights. If it weren't for some issues, most likely at least five other drivers would have competed all four nights. Special recognition to Canadians Charlie Sandercock and Adam Ferri who competed all four nights with their tow to Delaware being between nine and ten hours!

By Doug Kennedy October 18, 2017

(Pulaski, PA)...Throughout the years, it's no secret that the main objective of the Sweeney Chevrolet Buick GMC RUSH Racing Series powered by Pace Performance that now spans throughout the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Ontario, Canada has been to provide an exciting and affordable grassroots racing series for their racers. Staying focused on the word "affordable" has helped drive the success of RUSH, which in 2018 will encompass eight different divisions on both dirt and asphalt.

Many factors have been important players in RUSH's objective to control cost in their divisions; their stringent GM crate engine technical program, Hoosier spec tires, Sunoco spec fuels, and in many cases the $135 sealed, spec RUSH Bilstein Shocks.

The sealed, spec RUSH Bilstein Bandit Shock package is mandated in three of the Series divisions; Sportsman Modifieds, Pro/E-Mods, and now the Sprint Cars, and has found great success also in the Late Models and Pro Stocks, as well as all of the Series' asphalt divisions.
