TBM has been with the Series now for 11 years, beginning with the RUSH Late Models and standing by us through the development of all of the other RUSH divisions. It seems only fitting that they now become part of RUSH's crown jewel event- the $20,000 to win 'Bill Emig Memorial' that is held in conjunction with Lernerville's 'Firecracker 100'! Racers utilizing TBM Brakes are winning racers throughout our region as well as across the nation in various crate engine and open engine divisions, and we're proud to have such a great company as part of our Series."
"We partnered with RUSH in 2013 and haven't looked back," said Jason Smith,TBM Brakes Director of Motorsports. "The continued growth of the Series combined with the very competitive racing at premier racing facilities makes aligning with RUSH a no brainer! With us celebrating our 30th anniversary and wanting to get back to our roots, we couldn't be more excited to be able to part of RUSH's $20,000 to win 'Bill Emig Memorial'! The richest RUSH Late Model event of the season running alongside the Lucas Oil Late Model 'Firecracker 100' at Lernerville certainly makes this an incredible marquee event. Even more important though is knowing what this event means to the Vicki and the entire RUSH Series, which makes this opportunity even more special."
