Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Revamps Georgia-Florida Speedweeks for 2026

 

BATAVIA, Ohio (May 22, 2025) - The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing annual Georgia-Florida Speedweeks calendar will have a significant revamp in 2026.

 

The rework will cause the entire Georgia-Florida Speedweeks schedule for the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing to shift to a time after the Daytona 500. The traditional 12 nights of racing, with over $650,000 in purse money available, now begins at All-Tech Raceway, then moves to Ocala Speedway, and wraps up at Golden Isles Speedway.

 

“Teams have been looking for a change to Speedweeks; we listened,” said Rick Schwallie, Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing Director. “Racing in mid-January has become too daunting for everyone. The off-season isn’t long enough, and the gap between Speedweeks and the regular season is too much. The weather is also very unpredictable. If teams and fans are going to travel for Speedweeks, we want to provide them with a sure bet and give them an experience they can enjoy.”

 

The action will get underway on Wednesday, February 18, with an open practice at All-Tech Raceway in Lake City, Fla., followed by three straight nights of racing from Thursday, February 19, through Saturday, February 21. Those events will pay $10,000, $12,000, and $15,000 to win, respectively.

 

From there, the tour will head to Ocala Speedway in Ocala, Fla - beginning with an open practice on Monday, February 23, followed by five nights of racing. On Tuesday and Wednesday, teams will compete for a chance to win $7,000. Drivers will be gunning for a $10,000 top prize on Thursday, February 26, and a $12,000 top prize on Friday, February 27. As the week comes to a close, $25,000 is on the line.

 

The 2026 Speedweeks schedule will conclude at Golden Isles Speedway in Brunswick, Ga. An open practice is planned for Tuesday, March 3. Racing action kicks off with a $7,000-to-win program on Wednesday, March 4, followed by a $10,000-to-win event on Thursday, March 5. Teams will vie for $12,000 to win on March 6, with Saturday’s finale featuring $25,000.

 

Reserved seats and camping tickets are expected to go on sale soon.

Dan Ebert of Lake Shore, MN, is a racing enthusiast who has experienced every type of steering wheel or handlebar imaginable while growing up. His passion and dedication have taken him through various avenues of racing: BMX, Motocross, Snocross, and Dirt Car Racing, which have earned him numerous awards.

Hilsabeck now focuses on finding success on the national scene in 2025 and beyond.

 

Donald McIntosh of Dawsonville, GA began racing quarter midgets at age five. Eventually, McIntosh moved up to Mini Cup and the Legend Cars, where he gained valuable mechanical experience. In 2010, McIntosh made the leap to a dirt late model and just one year later claimed track championships at both Dixie and Rome Speedways. McIntosh quickly became a standout in the Southeast, accumulating numerous victories and regional championships, including two-time and defending Southern Nationals Series titles. McIntosh looks forward to his opportunity to battle with the nation’s top drivers in his chase for the O’Reilly Auto Parts Rookie of the Year.

 

The top rookie driver will once again earn an industry-high $20,000.

HOVIS RUSH LATE MODEL FLYNN'S TIRE/GUNTER'S HONEY TOUR SET FOR A DOUBLEHEADER WEEKEND TO OPEN 2025 SEASON WITH $4000 TO-WIN EVENTS SATURDAY AT STATELINE FOR "BILL LAW MEMORIAL" & SUNDAY AT ERIEZ

By Mike Leone


 

May 6, 2025 - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(Pulaski, PA)...After five consecutive rain outs to start the 2025 season, the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply RUSH Dirt Late Model Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Touring Series will try yet again to kick-off the season with a doubleheader weekend of action. Stateline Speedway in Busti, NY will host the Tour on Saturday night (May 10) at 6 p.m. followed 50 miles west at Eriez Speedway in Erie, Pa. on Sunday evening (May 11) at 6:30 p.m. Both races will pay $4,000 to-win.


 

The "Bill Law Memorial" returns to Stateline for the eighth time on Saturday night, but first under new track owner Bill Catania and with the event’s highest payoff to date! Ironically the inaugural “Bill Law Memorial” event in 2017 opened the Tour campaign at Stateline for the first time and will do the same on Saturday night.


 

In 2011, Law was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer and passed away in July 2012. Law's involvement in racing began in the late 1970s as he loved having muscle cars and going to the drag strip in his high school days. Even though he never actually raced, he stood behind racing 100%. In the early 1980s, Law and Leon Szweda put an asphalt car together and raced at New York's Holland Speedway.

 

Law's taste for racing moved to the dirt tracks in the mid-1980s as he helped Tom Taber for several years. He met a lot of great people that he became very good friends with; one was Bob "The Bird" Baldwin. The Law Family traveled with him and his family racing from Pennsylvania to West Virginia to Maryland.

 

As Bill's son Jon was getting older, they got involved in Go-Kart racing as the family would travel all over New York and Pennsylvania. Bill was still involved in auto racing as they would race Go-Karts during the day and sell parts and fuel at night at the races. As Jon got older, Bill bought him an IMCA Modified. A few seasons later, Jon and Bill bought a Limited Late Model. That lasted a couple years until Jon was starting his own family and got away from the racing scene. 

 

Law was the first person to have a Crate Late Model in the region when the class debuted in 2007 in the Northeast. Law had several drivers over the years behind the wheel of his #14 including Baldwin, Ward Schell, Rich Gardner, Jon Law, Curt VanPelt, David Scott, and Kyle Scott. Bill's grandson, Kyle Murray, has raced RUSH Late Models over the years. With the Scott Family owning Stateline for the first seven years, it was always fitting the "Bill Law Memorial" took place at their track as Jean and Jim Scott's son David and grandson Kyle drove for Law. 

 

The 2017 event was the first ever Tour event at Stateline in the history of Chevrolet Performance Late Models in the Northeast as a big crowd watched a thriller as Jeremy Wonderling held off standout and track dominator Max Blair for the victory. The 2018 event was just as good as Damian Bidwell made a late race pass of Scott Gurdak for his first Tour win in more than three years. In 2019, Wonderling again held off Blair after withstanding a mid-race rain delay. The COVID-19 pandemic cancelled the 2020 event. Wonderling was victorious again in 2021 topping a Stateline record 43-car field. Joe Martin won his first career Stateline race in 2022 after waiting out an hour and a half rain delay. In 2023, Wonderling won the event for the fourth time in six years this time over a 42-car field! And last year, eventual Tour Champion, Brock Pinkerous, won as 43 cars were again on hand matching the record from 2021.


 

The Flynn’s Tire/Gunter’s Honey Tour will return to Stateline on August 9 once again teaming up with Eriez, which will host “Manufacturers Night” presented by MSD Performance the following night. It’s the first time Stateline has scheduled more than one Tour event in any one season.

 

Meanwhile, there have been 14 RUSH Tour events completed all-time at Eriez. Max Blair has seven victories, 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, 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 topped a 52-car field at "Manufacturers Night" event in the summer. Last year, rain won both attempts at the first show, while Wonderling captured the “Manufacturers Night” event over an Eriez record 55-car field.

 

Both tracks fell victim to rain last weekend for their scheduled 2025 City Chevrolet Weekly Series openers. This weekend’s events will also offer points to RUSH member racers for National Weekly Series points as well as City Chevrolet Track Pack points and Russ King Racing Futures Cup points for those eligible racers.


 

"This is a nice, annual weekend for our northern RUSH Late Model teams to be able compete in two $4,000 to-win Tour events and also for our traveling teams as the two tracks are just 50 miles apart," stated RUSH Director Vicki Emig.  "We have to thank Bill Catania for continuing RUSH sanctioning in not only the Late Model and Pro Mod divisions at Stateline, but adding the RUSH Stock Cars weekly, a second Tour show along with events for our Sprint Cars and Sportsman Modifieds! And the Alexander Family have been strong supporters of RUSH at Eriez as they’ve continued the foundation and support the Rohrer Family established years ago.  We're thankful that the Law Family has allowed us the opportunity to continue to be able to have the 'Bill Law Memorial' as a Tour event, and we look forward to honoring Bill on Saturday night."


 

After a record $76,200 points fund was posted for the 2024 season, the largest following of 13 full-time teams competed on the Tour in addition to a record average car count of 40 despite several big events being rained out.  That same point fund will return in 2025 as $20,000 will again be on the line along with the 3C Graphix $3,000 to-win Rookie-of-the-Year and the $5,000 Landrum Performance Springs "Loyalty Bonus".  Over the off-season, it was also announced that all 2025 Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Touring Series events will pay a minimum of $4,000 to-win, $300 to-start.  At least 18 teams are expected to compete for the 2025 championship.

 

Each night, $100 "Shock the Clock" Qualifying and $25 to-win heat races will be presented by FK Rod Ends. The Sunoco Dash will set the beginning rows of the feature lineup and will award the winner a $100 Sunoco fuel gift card. The "Fill'er up with Sunoco Bucks" program co-presented by Bazell Race Fuels will include an additional $400 of Sunoco fuel card giveaways; two $100 random draws for drivers in the top 15 of 2024 Tour points and another four $50 random draws for all other competitors.

WINCHESTER TO HOST 2025 HOVIS RUSH LATE MODEL FLYNN'S TIRE/GUNTER'S HONEY TOURING SERIES OPENER THIS SATURDAY FOR $5,000 TO-WIN

By Mike Leone


 

April 30, 2025 - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(Winchester, VA)...After four consecutive rain outs to start the 2025 season, the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply RUSH Dirt Late Model Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Touring Series will try yet again to kick-off the season this Saturday night (May 3) at Virginia’s Winchester Speedway. The $5,000 to-win event is presented by Gunter’s Honey. Warmups are slated for 6 p.m.


 

The Tour has made eight appearances over the years at Winchester with six different winners. Logan Roberson, the 2022 Tour Champion, is the only multiple winner with three victories; in fact, Roberson has won three of the last five events. Other winners include four other Virginia racers in Rick Singleton, Walker Arthur, Allen Brannon, and Kyle Hardy; however, in 2023, Canadian Charlie Sandercock scored the upset victory. Last year’s event was rained out.  The last five Tour events at Winchester have attracted between 41-44 cars!


 

Winchester has hosted three City Chevrolet Weekly Series events in 2025 with three different winners; RUSH Late Model rookie Cody Williams, 2023 Futures Cup Champion Davin Kaiser, and 2017 Futures Cup Champion Devin Brannon. Winchester has averaged 21 cars per night with 32 different cars in competition. 


 

"Greg Gunter has been an integral part of the success of the RUSH Late Models in the Mid-Atlantic," stated RUSH Director Vicki Emig. "Winchester has been the Mid-Atlantic home to weekly RUSH Late Model racing since 2014 and Greg has been gracious enough to host our Tour nearly every year. In 2024, Greg really stepped up to co-present our $20,000 to-win Touring Series Championship with Flynn's Tire and upped the ante with a $5,000 to-win Tour event at Winchester that unfortunately was rained out. The Mid-Atlantic racers are tough and always pose a challenge to our Touring Series regulars and with $5,000 on the line Saturday it should be quite the show especially being our season opener."


 

After a record $76,200 points fund was posted for the 2024 season, the largest following of 13 full-time teams competed on the Tour in addition to a record average car count of 40 despite several big events being rained out. That same point fund will return in 2025 as $20,000 will again be on the line along with the 3C Graphix $3,000 to-win Rookie-of-the-Year and the $5,000 Landrum Performance Springs "Loyalty Bonus". Over the off-season, it was also announced that all 2025 Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Touring Series events will pay a minimum of $4,000 to-win, $300 to-start. At least 18 teams are expected to compete for the 2025 championship.


 

$100 "Shock the Clock" Qualifying and $25 to-win heat races will be presented by FK Rod Ends. The Sunoco Dash will set the beginning rows of the feature lineup and will award the winner a $100 Sunoco fuel gift card. The "Fill'er up with Sunoco Bucks" program co-presented by Bazell Race Fuels will include an additional $400 of Sunoco fuel card giveaways; two $100 random draws for drivers in the top 15 of 2024 Tour points and another four $50 random draws for all other competitors. 


 

The podium finishers will each receive a three-pack of Heritage Wine Cellars premier products.  Precise Racing Products will award a $50 gift card for the "Pedal Down" Hard Charger that passes the most cars in the feature. Ontime Body & Graphic's "Spoiler Alert" will award a spoiler kit to the first place finisher. The first feature non-qualifier will receive a $50 certificate from Holley Performance brands each night. There will also be five BOGO Landrum Performance Springs certificates given away through drawings each night. Forty lucky fans each night will receive a bottle of Dusted Steak Seasoning each night.
