Bigger Point Fund For RUSH Late Models

November 12, 2021

PULASKI, Pa. — Even though the Pace Performance RUSH Dirt Late Model Flynn’s Tire/Born2Run Lubricants Touring Series season completed just one month ago, series directors Vicki Emig and Mike Leone have been hard at work on the 2022 season. 

While a lot of event details are still in the works, all of next year’s touring series events will pay a minimum of $3,000 to-win and the points fund will see another increase of approximately 25 percent, pushing the point fund to $51,400 with$15,000 earmarked for the champion.

Kyle Hardy conquered the $12,000 championship in his first season of RUSH racing this year as a record 194 different drivers from 12 different states competed in at least one Flynn’s Tire/Born2Run Lubricants Tour event in 2021. 

“Our RUSH Late Model Touring Series events have always produced great racing but this year it was simply incredible,” acknowledged Emig. “The competition has definitely went to the next level and our car counts continue to be very strong which has translated into tremendous RUSH Late Model Touring Series events! With that said and after discussions with our RUSH-sanctioned speedway partners, we are excited to offer the richest Touring Series Championship and schedule of events in RUSH Series history.”

After the COVID-19 pandemic was a setback in 2020, the RUSH Touring Series doubled the pre-COVID point fund with all spots getting a boost in 2021. Now with the promoters stepping up to a pay a minimum $3,000 to-win purse, RUSH has once again increased all 10 guaranteed points paying positions.

 RUSH will once again offer $1,000 to drivers that finish 11-15 in points with 75 percent attendance and $500 to drivers that finish 16-20 in points with 75 percent attendance. This increase will put the 2022 Touring Series point fund at a record $51,400! 

“To be able to nearly triple the overall touring championship is amazing but none of this would be possible without the strong support of our corporate marketing partners, speedways, and racers- we can’t thank everyone enough,” expressed Emig. “This is just the beginning of the exciting news for 2022, as we look forward to releasing more news in the very near future on some of our signature RUSH Late Model Touring events.”
