(Pulaski, PA)...The Pace Performance RUSH Late Model Series together with Sweeney Chevrolet Buick GMC is pleased to announce that Flynn's Tire & Auto Service has come on board as the co-presenting sponsor of the 2021 Touring Series. The richest season in Series history will include 23 events at 15 different speedways, and will get underway on April 14 at Delaware International Speedway for the "Raelyn Huffman Memorial" as part of the "Battle of the Bay" Speedweek.
The 2021 Touring Series point fund has more than doubled from the pre-pandemic point fund to a whopping $43,000 in potential payoff for the top 20 point earners! The 2021 champion will receive $12,000- the highest of any Chevrolet Performance Crate Engine Series in the country with $1,200 going to 10th place! While those 10 guaranteed positions were previously announced, RUSH has also extended potential payoffs to an additional 10 racers. RUSH will pay $1,000 to Tour members in positions 11-15 in points that compete in 75% of the total Tour events, and $500 to Tour members in positions 16-20 in points that compete in 75% of the total Tour events.

"We are very appreciative to have Flynn's Tire join as the co-presenting sponsor of our Touring Series," stated RUSH Director Vicki Emig.
