RELEASE
(Pulaski, PA)...After a pair of successful events to close out the month of July at the
Genesee County Fair and the “Jook George Steel City Classic” at Pittsburgh PA
Motor Speedway, the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply RUSH Dirt Late Model Series
presented by Born2Run Lubricants will have a doubleheader of Flynn’s
Tire/Gunter’s Honey Touring Series action.
Stateline Speedway
in Busti, NY will host the Tour on Saturday night (August 9) before heading 50
miles west to Eriez Speedway in Erie, Pa. on Sunday evening (August 10) for
“Manufacturers Night” presented by MSD Performance with $34,000 of valuable
product giveaways! Both races will pay $4,000 to-win.
Racing begins at 7 p.m. on Saturday and 6:30 on Sunday.
Back in May,
Max Blair swept the Stateline-Eriez doubleheader weekend for more than $8,000
with the Flynn’s Tire/Gunter’s Honey Touring Series.
Saturday’s event at Stateline will mark the first ever Tour event at the
track outside of the eight
“Bill
Law Memorial” events. The win at
Stateline was Blair’s first ever RUSH Tour win at the track for the Series’
all-time winningest driver. Jeremy
Wonderling is the only driver to have multiple Tour wins at Stateline with four
“Bill Law Memorial” victories, while Damian Bidwell, Joe Martin, and Brock
Pinkerous each have one victory.
Meanwhile, there have been 15 Flynn’s Tire/Gunter’s Honey Tour events completed
all-time at Eriez. On the other hand, Blair has eight victories at Eriez,
while his father Rob has one in a substitution role for Max. Kyle Hardy swept
both events in 2021 in route to the championship. In 2022, Logan Roberson won
the May event for his first Eriez win and went on to win the title, while Josh
Ferry scored an upset career first Touring Series victory in July on
"Manufacturers Night". In 2023, Wonderling won the spring race finally
getting his first Tour win at Eriez, while Blair won the "Manufacturers Night"
event in the summer. Last year, rain won both attempts at the first show, while
Wonderling captured the “Manufacturers Night” event.
Sunday will mark the 14th edition of "Manufacturers Night", which will take
place at Eriez for the sixth time with a record amount of $34,000 posted in
valuable product giveaways! There are 50 packages posted with a minimum value

possible that drivers can win multiple prizes if there are less than 50

minimum of $400.
MSD Performance proudly presents all of the RUSH Series "Manufacturers Nights"
