LOCUST GROVE, AR (August 16, 2025) – Jonathan Davenport took the lead on lap 38 when race leader Brandon Sheppard, who had led the first 37 laps, slowed with a flat tire. Davenport then led the remaining 61 laps to win his second career Nutrien Ag Solutions Topless 100 presented by Big River Steel on Saturday night at Batesville Motor Speedway.

 

The victory earned the current Midwest Sheet Metal points leader $50,000, marking his 8th Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing win of the year.

 

Chris Madden tried to chase down Davenport over the final 20 laps, finishing second by just 0.989 seconds. Devin Moran rallied from a flat tire to take third on the Big River Steel Podium. Rookie Dan Ebert scored the best finish of his late model career with a fourth-place finish, while Sheppard rebounded from his flat tire to finish fifth.

 

In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 91st time in his career, and for the second time at his car owner’s home track, Davenport said:

 

“I just tried not to get complacent behind those lapped cars, then I started to, and it began to get a little tricky around the top. I needed to keep slowing down and moving toward the bottom, but I kept trying to catch my left rear in that brown strip. I’m sure it looks like there would be plenty of grip from up there, but it was so slimy that I actually got looser when I tried. So, I finally said I’ve got to do something because either Madden or I was going to step out and try the outside. There was a lot of grip out there if you hit it just right and straight,” said the Blairsville, Georgia native, who is aiming for a record-tying fourth series championship this year.

 

“He (Madden) went a little harder on the left front; that probably doesn’t sound like much, but I think it would have helped me, you know, run the top a little better for a few laps. Then it would get hot, and I would start pushing more and more. Hats off to all of you fans out here, man—it’s hot, and thank you for sticking it out.”

 

Madden, driving for Kale Green Motorsports, was aiming for his second career Topless 100 win, which earned $20,000 for his runner-up finish.

 

“We tried to save our stuff for as long as we could and make a charge at him (Davenport). About 20 laps to go, we started picking up the pace a little bit. We were really good down here in one and two, and in three and four we about evened out — he might have been a tick better down there. We caught that lapped car, and the 19M got in between us, so we kept our stuff hot trying to get around him. I finally got by him with about three laps to go, cooled out our stuff, and got back to JD. Hats off to JD, and congratulations to Devin.”

 

Moran, who fought with Davenport for second place early in the race when Sheppard was out in front, finished third and rounded out the Big River Steel Podium.

 

“I don’t know if I would have beaten JD or not, but I felt like we had the best car. We messed with him a little early in the race, got by him, and then he got back by me just a little. Then I had the flat. It’s unfortunate— we come here to race, and everybody’s getting all these flat tires. I don’t know what the deal is, but it’s just a shame. I feel like we had such a great race car, and my guys worked their butts off. Finishing third was a good night for points, but it’s really bittersweet when you feel like you had a chance to win.”

 

The winner’s Double L Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Nutrien Ag Solutions, DynaGro Seed, ASC Warranty, Midwest Sheet Metal, VP Fuels, Mark Martin Automotive, and Mega Plumbing of the Carolinas.

 

Completing the top ten were Ricky Thornton Jr., Brandon Overton, Daniel Hilsabeck, Kyle Beard, and Clay Harris.

LOCUST GROVE, AR (August 15, 2025) – Brandon Sheppard and Jonathan Davenport each secured a 25-lap preliminary win on Friday night at Batesville Motor Speedway as the action began for the 33rd Annual Nutrien Ag Solutions Topless 100 presented by Big River Steel.

 

Sheppard dominated the racing in Group A, posting the fastest overall time, winning his heat race, and leading wire-to-wire to take the win in the first 25-lap main event, earning $5,000. Chris Madden finished second, with Hudson O’Neal, Devin Moran, and Dale McDowell rounding out the top five.

 

In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the third time this season and for the 35th time in his career, the driver from New Berlin, Illinois, will be looking for his first Topless 100 victory tomorrow night.

 

“I have always liked this place. You know, it’s a little ways from home, so I didn’t get to come here very often over the years. The crew has been trying to make me comfortable and find the balance I’m looking for. I knew we’d get there, and I also knew it would take some time. Since we brought it out, it’s been lights out. Of course, we can still miss the setup or make a mistake with the tires or whatever the case may be, but this car has been really good ever since we broke it out. I am super proud to be part of this team and proud to be part of the Rocket family.”

 

Madden, the 2019 winner of the Topless 100 while driving for Scott Bloomquist, finished second to Sheppard in his Kale Green-owned entry.

 

“We made a few adjustments right there before that feature; we’re stuck too hard. We just went overboard on that balance, but we’ll get it back for tomorrow. We feel good about what we have here. 100 laps is a long time around this place, so you’ve got to keep some tires on it, and you’ve got to be there at the end.”

 

O’Neal, who had to deal with a flat tire while running second in his heat race, came from seventh to finish on the Big River Steel Podium in the first 25-lapper.

 

“It was interesting, that’s for sure. We were fortunate to start at the bottom and be able to pick off a few cars there early on. After having a flat in the heat race like we did, we’re happy to rebound and come back up through the field to make it onto the podium. We are excited about tomorrow. I think over 100 laps, the track is going to slow down a bit more, and I felt really good right there. It just got narrow on that bottom lane. I hope for 100 laps it widens out so we can race all over the track,” said the 2021 winner of the event.

 

The winner’s Mark Richards Racing, Rocket Chassis is powered by a Durham Racing Engine and sponsored by Valvoline, Seubert Calf Ranches, Franklin Enterprises, Petroff Towing, Gunter’s Honey, Ace Metal Works, Sunoco Race Fuels, Collins Brothers Towing, Stiles Marine and Maintenance, Performance Grading, Fox Shocks, and Rocket Pre-Owned Motors.

 

Completing the top ten in the first feature were Mike Marlar, Joseph Joiner, Donald McIntosh, Jared Landers, and Daniel Hilsabeck.

The second feature didn't end well for several drivers, as Jimmy Owens led the first four laps until Cade Dillard moved into the lead on lap five. A caution after a lap seven restart saw Dillard and Garrett Alberson get together after Alberson took over the lead from Dillard heading out of turn two, almost flipping his car as the incident eliminated both drivers.

 

Owens then went back to the race lead as he led until lap 14, when he suffered a right rear flat tire. Davenport then took the top spot and kept it until the finish.

 

In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 90th time in his career, and for the seventh time this season, Davenport will be aiming for his second career Topless 100 win on Saturday night.

 

“It’s always good to win here for my car owners. We created a special paint scheme for my good buddy and our partner, Steve Martin, with Nutrien Ag Solutions. It’s just a little something different for them; they help with this event and have been a big stepping stone in my career. They have definitely helped me and Lance Landers Motorsports a lot. I wasn’t sure if leading was the right spot to be in. I am thankful for my guys—we’ve been on the road for six weeks. We came back to the shop, and they completely rebuilt two or three race cars, then worked on Jared’s (Landers) car as well.”

 

Thornton, who is seeking his first career win in the Topless 100 on Saturday night, finished second in the nightcap feature.

 

“I definitely didn’t have anything for Jonathan during that last restart. I told my guys afterward that I wasn’t even going to try to race JD; I’m just glad Garrett and everyone else is okay after that wreck on the back straightaway. I feel like you're going so fast here that a small mistake could cost you. We’ve got a lot to do to catch the Rocket1.”

 

Harris, who was as high as second, saw a late-race caution derail his hopes of passing Davenport, who was nearing traffic with three laps remaining. Harris finished on the Big River Steel Podium in the second feature race after passing him in the closing laps.

 

“I thought our night was going downhill early on; we fell behind in qualifying. I kind of messed up some things on the car to upset it, but we came from 16th to second and then third, so I am happy with it.”

 

The winner’s Double L Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Nutrien Ag Solutions, DynaGro Seed, Mark Martin Automotive, and Mega Plumbing of the Carolinas.

 

Completing the top ten in the second feature were Kyle Beard, Jimmy Owens, Brandon Overton, Daulton Wilson, and Haiden Cowan.

WALTON, KENTUCKY (August 9, 2025) – Bobby Pierce of Oakwood, Illinois, moved from the 14th starting spot to win the 43rd Annual Sunoco Race Fuels North/South 100 presented by Lucas Oil on Saturday night at Florence Speedway. Pierce earned $75,000 for the victory.

 

In the process, Pierce became the first driver in the history of the event to win three years in a row, as he also became the first driver to win four North/South 100s in his career.

 

Pierce and Jonathan Davenport had a spirited battle for the lead after a lap 52 caution that saw the two competitors get together several times before Pierce was able to pull away. Devin Moran got to second on lap 65 and had a shot at Pierce after a caution came out with eight laps to go, but Pierce was able to get a good restart and drive off for the win. 

 

Moran lost the second spot to Ricky Thornton Jr. on lap 98, and then on the final lap, Davenport was able to secure the last Big River Steel Podium spot as he also got Moran. Moran finished fourth, with Zack Dohm rounding out the top five drivers.

 

In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 28th time in his career and for the fourth time this season, he earned a hard-fought win after starting on the outside of the seventh row.

 

“I've been in this position before. I was in a bad mood because I didn’t want to start that far back; you know, it’s a lot harder that way. We were coming through the field, and I was worried about my tires. I was spinning really bad in some sections, but then in others, I was really hooked up. It was tough, and once I got to second, I was trying to win the race. I got the job done. I can’t thank my team enough and everyone who helps me out. And thank you to the fans for coming out and watching.”

 

Pierce was asked in Victory Lane about his battle with Davenport after the lap-52 caution that saw the two drivers go back and forth for the lead, which also included contact between the two.

 

“It was about halfway through the race, but you want to get the lead as quickly as you can because if the track transitions, you never know what could happen. Last year, here it went to the bottom, and it was really hard to run the top toward the end of the race. So I didn’t want to give anyone that opportunity if I could take it. I was planning to take the lead and just hold on for the rest of the race. Sometimes, it’s a lot easier to lead late in the race than to run in second, especially with a restart where you’re double-file again. Yes, we raced hard—me and JD—and I know he was mad, but it’s just hard racing here.”

 

Thornton, who got the runner-up spot, took home $25,000 for second and cut Davenport’s point lead to five heading to Batesville, Arkansas, next weekend for the Topless 100.

 

“I definitely felt like I was running as hard as I could there, and it just wasn’t enough. Bobby’s stuff was really good. I could barely see him in the last couple of laps, so we will go back to the drawing board and try to improve. The track was a little different than it usually is here; typically, the curb isn’t that big—it’s usually against the wall. But this time, it was about a car length off the wall. I feel like we have good speed, though not quite the great speed we had at the start of the year.”

 

Davenport, who was aiming for his third North/South 100 victory, led 60 of the 100 laps but finished in third place.

 

“Obviously, he (Pierce) is always right, so I don’t know how to throw sliders, and he does. I won’t sit here and talk bad about him, because he’s really good. We all know the top is going to be very competitive here at Florence, and I was just running my race and keeping my tires under me. I was planning to try and make a run back at him in the last 10 or 15 laps since I knew he was probably going to pass me and be gone, but that’s just how this place races. I have a lot of damage, but I still managed to get back to third.”

Completing the top ten were Jason Jameson, Hudson O’Neal, Brandon Overton, Cory Hedgecock, and Nick Hoffman.

WALTON, KENTUCKY (August 8, 2025) – Bobby Pierce and Devin Moran each won a feature race during the Friday night session of the 43rd Annual Sunoco North/South 100 presented by Lucas Oil at Florence Speedway, with both drivers earning $6,000 for their victories.

 

Pierce took the lead from Jonathan Davenport in the first 25-lap race on the 15th circuit and maintained it for the win. Davenport finished second, followed by Brandon Overton, Brandon Sheppard, and Ricky Thornton, Jr.

 

In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the third time this season and the 27th time in his career, Pierce will attempt to make history Saturday night in the $75,000-to-win crown jewel race, as he tries to become the first driver to win the race, which began in 1984, three years in a row and four times overall - a feat never before achieved in the race's storied history.

 

“It’s very tough to lead at this track, especially around these corners. When they come up, you’ve got so many different lines to run, and JD really likes to run that middle line coming down. It was a great track; it had a bottom, middle, and top. It was tough in lapped traffic, and at one point, they were directly double-file in front of me. I kind of thought JD made the mistake of going low instead of high, but he got underneath those guys, and we almost went 4-wide. That’s not a place you want to be, so I had to back out of it. The straightaways are so long, there’s a lot of time to decide where they’re going. You just have to look ahead and see where they’re running - before you get to them, you already have that decision in your mind,” said the Oakwood, Illinois native.

 

Davenport, the current Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series points leader and two-time North/South 100 winner, finished runner-up to Pierce in the first feature.

 

“Obviously I can’t see much out of the right side,” as he talked about going four-wide in traffic off of turn four on lap 14. "I was coming down through here in the slime, trying to give everybody enough room outside of me. It was pretty wild there for a minute, but congratulations to Bobby. My guys worked today and last night trying to figure out our problem. We still had it in hot laps, and we went and changed one more thing, and that’s what fixed it.”

 

Overton rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third in the first feature.

 

“I'm honestly excited. Obviously, we're going to face a tough heat; there are no slouches here, and we’ll probably start in the second row. We’ve had a good car both nights, you know. I was trying not to go too hard at the start, then Bobby passed us, and Daulton (Wilson) passed me, so I had to work my way back up to him. We're okay. I'm excited and looking forward to it.”

Completing the top ten in the first feature were Zack Dohm, Michael Chilton, Dustin Nobbe, Max Blair, and Josh Rice.

In the second 25-lap race to finish the night, Mike Marlar was in control from the start until contact from a car he was trying to lap ended his night on lap 15. Moran then inherited the lead and kept the field paced through several cautions in the final 10 laps to take the victory. 

 

Hudson O’Neal finished second, with Justin Rattliff rounding out the Big River Steel Podium in third during the second feature. Garrett Alberson was fourth, and Carson Ferguson completed the top five drivers.

 

In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the seventh time this year and the 22nd time in his racing career, Moran will be vying for his first North/South 100 victory on Saturday night.

 

“I definitely thought the checkered flag was ever going to come out. Unfortunately, when the one caution that got us to the lead happened, it was unfortunate for Mikey (Marlar). I really don’t think we had anything for him. Racing just happens like that sometimes when you try to squeeze in there by a lapped car, and apparently that car didn’t know he was there. I really didn’t know where to be on the restarts. I saw the 12 car (Jameson) in second on the top, and you never know where Hudson is going to be because his car has been really good on the bottom, and he's won races here on the top. It was a nail-biter. I felt like it was never going to end, and when you are running the top, it can be very treacherous. I’m glad it’s over,” said the driver from Dresden, Ohio native.

 

O’Neal, who started sixth, fought off a battle with James Rattliff and teammates Jason Jameson and Justin Rattliff to finish second.

 

“We needed to be careful at the right moments, so we had a couple of spots where the caution came out, and we had to go back to second. That’s just part of it, and in these short 25-lap races, you’ve got to take advantage of every opportunity. I fell back to fifth and thought, man, I don’t know if I can catch up in such a short time, but it ended up working out.”

 

Rattliff, a former Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series Rookie of the Year, rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third place.

 

“It’s really cool to be up here. I’d like to dedicate this to Jeff Gullett, and I’m glad we could get a good run. I could hit the bottom about every other lap, and then they’d just sail on top, and I was just like I needed to hit my marks. I was just down there trying to be as consistent as I could be,” said the Campbellsville, Kentucky native who has competed in just a handful of races over the past few seasons.

 

The winner’s Double Down Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Big River Steel, Lazydays RV, C&W Trucking, Hazen Services, BOMAG, Millwood Plumbing, Pee Wee’s Wrecker Service, CarSourceAuto, Anthony’s Pizza, Refuel Wellness, McHugh Chrysler Dodge, Jeep and Ram, Eibach Sprints, VP Fuels, Smoky Mountain Speedway, Haulin’ Haskell’s, Phillips CPA, and Red Oak Pub.

 

Completing the top ten in the second feature were Logan Zarin, Jason Jameson, Kyle Bronson, Nick Hoffman, and Kyle Strickler.

Sunoco North/South 100 presented by Lucas Oil Point Standings:
 

WALTON, KENTUCKY (August 7, 2025) – Garrett Alberson and Daulton Wilson both started from the third position and went on to win their 25-lap main events on Thursday night at Florence Speedway, kicking off the Sunoco Race Fuels North/South 100 presented by Lucas Oil weekend.

 

In the $6,000-to-win opener, Alberson passed race leader Devin Moran on the 21st lap after Moran had led the first 20 laps of the race. Mike Marlar, who finished third and rounded out the Big River Steel Podium, ran in second until Alberson got by him on lap 14. Cory Hedgecock finished fourth, with Hudson O’Neal rounding out the top five drivers.

 

In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the second time in 2025 and for the third time in his career, the Las Cruces, New Mexico native won a hard-fought battle with Moran and Marlar for the win.

 

“I was a little scared after the early incident in turn one. I didn’t know if the whole left front was knocked out or not. I wonder if that kind of got me all riled up, and I just thought, I’m going to go for it. Devin was building a lot of speed up high, but he started kind of falling into the exit a little, and I could just run right through the crumbs and make up a lot of time.”

 

Moran, who was looking for his 7th series win of the season, came home in second after leading the first 20 laps of the race. Moran was coming off a $20,000 victory at Florence in June.

 

“Our car was really good, and then Garrett got by me. We had a great race among the top three. The track was really good tonight; you could run anywhere on it. We'll just work on it some more for tomorrow night and see if we can close the deal and take one spot better.” Moran finished 1.200 seconds behind Alberson at the finish.

 

Marlar was in the thick of things the whole race, finishing a close third. "We had a good car all night. I could run with Devin through the middle and bottom, and then Garrett got in there. We had a really good race for the lead. It's a great start to the weekend for us."”

 

The winner’s Roberts Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by Clements Racing Engine and sponsored by Low Voltage Solutions, Mesilla Valley Transportation, Sunoco Race Fuels, Bilstein Shocks, Titan Racing Products, Nutrien Ag Solutions, Bill’s Sport Shop, Done Right TV, Dickie’s Doghouse, Cheap Cars, Fertilizer Equipment Specialist, Roemer Machine, Denago Powersports, and Mitchell Ranch.

 

Completing the top ten were Jimmy Owens, Max Blair, Donald McIntosh, Carson Ferguson, and Tripp Gerrald.

In the nightcap, Wilson had to outrun the top three-ranked drivers in the nation to earn his first Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of the season. He led the final 23 laps after getting by Jonathan Davenport early in a lead-swapping battle.

 

Brandon Overton made a late-race charge after a caution flag with two laps to go to take the runner-up spot, with three-time and defending North/South 100 winner Bobby Pierce rounding out the Big River Steel Podium in third. Brandon Sheppard finished fourth, and Ricky Thornton Jr. completed the top drivers.

 

Wilson is in Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the first time since winning the final East Bay Winternationals race in February of 2024.

 

“Man, you know we haven’t been bad, nothing’s gone our way. My awesome car owner said, man, it’s time to come home and take a break, go see your family, just re-group, and that’s what we did. We all went home, took a minute to clear our heads, then we came back, focused, and went to work. We had a really good car last week and a really good car tonight. I thought I had given it away down there on that cushion, but then I thought I was either going to win or wreck.”

Overton, who came out of nowhere before the only caution of the race with 23 laps scored, dived to the inside of the track in the final two laps, coming up just 0.212 seconds short at the finish line.

 

“When we fired off, I didn’t feel great, but I just calmed down and did what I always do—slow down and drive this thing. I just sat there, ran around, and got into a good rhythm where I could hit the bottom and then squirt up through there. When the caution came out, I didn’t think I was that close; I thought JD was leading and was gone. I didn’t know Daulton was leading, but congratulations to Daulton. It’s a good start to the weekend for us.”

 

Pierce, who is attempting to become the first driver in the 43-year history of the race to win three consecutive North/South 100s on Saturday night, ran as high as second, briefly took the lead from Wilson, but officially never led a lap as he finished in third.

 

“I don’t know; I didn’t need the caution because we probably would have finished second. Congrats to Daulton on the win, so we were third tonight. We’ll try to get a better race car tomorrow night. I need to get the thing in the ground a little bit; I am just kind of wheel-spinning.”

 

The winner’s JRR Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Clements Racing and sponsored by Grant Lee Farms, MGL Auto Sales, The Auto Outlet, Innovative Community Solutions, Keltner Contracting, JRR Motor Sales, B&L Construction, Cheap Chevrolet, VP Fuels, and New Point Lighting and Design.

 

Completing the top ten were Zack Dohm, Justin Rattliff, Chris Ferguson, Josh Rice, and Dustin Nobbe.

BATAVIA, Ohio (August 19, 2025) - The Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing announced penalties for Cade Dillard after an on-track incident and subsequent actions at Batesville Motor Speedway on Friday, August 15.

 

The on-track incident happened during the Group B feature race between Dillard and Garrett Alberson. On a restart on lap seven, Alberson passed for the lead in turn two. As the two drivers exited turn two, contact was made, causing Alberson to hit the backstretch wall. Neither car could continue after the crash.

 

In an interview with FloRacing, Dillard admitted to intentionally causing the chaos and expressed his intentions to do it again if the opportunity arose.

 

After review, Dillard’s on-track and off-track actions were deemed aggressive, violating the conduct policy in section 1.4 of the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing rulebook. As a result, Dillard has been suspended for six months from any Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing competition.

DAVE HESS JR BECOMES 8TH DIFFERENT FLYNN'S TIRE/GUNTER'S HONEY TOUR WINNER OF 2025 AFTER HIS $4000 ERIEZ VICTORY; 52 HOVIS RUSH LATE MODELS COMPETE IN MFG NIGHT PRESENTED BY MSD AS $34,000 OF VALUABLE PRODUCTS ARE DISTRIBUTED

By Mike Leone


 

August 10, 2025 - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(Erie, PA)...The Hovis Auto & Truck Supply RUSH Dirt Late Model Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Touring Series returned to Eriez Speedway for the second and final time of the 2025 season on a sunny and stifling hot Sunday evening.  Fifty-two drivers from six states plus Ontario, Canada turned out for race #10 of the 2025 season as it was the annual "Manufacturers Night" presented by MSD Performance, which saw $34,000 in valuable product contingencies distributed! In addition, it was also "Manufacturers Night" presented by MSD Performance for the RUSH Stock Cars as a record 16 cars were on hand for the growing class as those drivers shared in $9,000 of valuable products bringing the total distributed to the two divisions to approximately $43,000!


 

Dave Hess, Jr. is one the greatest drivers to ever compete at Eriez Speedway dominating the Super Late Model and UMP Modified ranks over the years; in fact, no other driver has won more Super Late Model features at the track. On Sunday, Hess denied 2017 Series Champion, Bryce Davis, of a clean sweep of the night for the second straight Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Touring Series event. Hess took the lead on a restart on lap 11 and kept 2021 Series Champion, Kyle Hardy, at bay over the final laps to score the $4,000 victory- his first in RUSH Tour competition at his home track. Hess became the 8th different winner in 10 events thus far this season. Hess also won one of the top prizes in the manufacturers night drawings receiving a 4150 LTS Aluminum Ultra XP 650 CFM Holley Carburetor valued at $1,184 bringing his night's total cash and contingencies to well over $5,200.


 

"These RUSH races are so tough with the competition level," stated the 41-year-old Waterford, Pa. standout. "I've said it before but they are as tough as any regional tour and damn near as tough as any national tour. To get qualified and get a good starting spot is so crucial as everyone is so equal and good. Bryce (Davis) had me searching. Last night he was better than us all night and tonight was the same story so we took big swings after the dash and went with the harder tire and everything seemed to work out for us. Thanks to Bryce and Kyle (Hardy) for racing me clean down to the end with the double-file restarts as it's always a blast racing with these guys". 


 

"Great track tonight as the guys at Eriez have given us the best racing surface in the area by far all season long so hats off to them for getting it figured out," added Hess. "Thanks to Vicki (Emig) and the whole RUSH crew for all these great giveaways; I know someone had to work their ass off to get these giveaways for us. Everything she does for the RUSH Tour is great and I'm glad we could be a part of it."


 

Following the Dave Poske's Performance Parts "Feel the RUSH" 4-Wide Salute, Davis took off in the lead for the second straight night following his Sunoco Dash win as Hess settled into second over Austin Allen, Hardy, and Zack Carley. As Davis pulled away from the pack on lap five, fourth starting Allen was all over Hess in the battle for second. Hardy then challenged Allen for the third spot when Demetrios Drellos slowed with a flat tire with 10 laps scored. 


 

Davis chose the inside for the double file restart, but it was Hess making the outside work as he took the lead for what would be the winning move on lap 11, while Hardy snuck by Allen for third. Jeremy Wonderling started in seventh and cracked the top five when racing resumed on lap 11 then one-lap later passed Allen for fourth. Hardy went after Davis and the two raced side-by-side for second on lap 16. While those two battled, Hess increased his advantage by lap 18. Davis and Hardy continued their battle as they once again raced side-by-side on lap 21 as Davis continued to hold on. A caution for Drellos' spin slowed action with 23 laps completed.


 

When racing resumed on lap 24, Davis was unable to make the outside work like Hess did and also lost second to Hardy in turn four. Carley was unable to exit the track as he needed assistance back to the pit area necessitating the event's final caution with 28 laps scored. That set-up a two-lap dash to the finish between two of the best Late Model racers in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. 


 

Hess got a great restart and held off Hardy to the checkered flag by 0.974 seconds for his second career Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Tour victory aboard the Alex Anderson-owned, Close Racing Supply/Hess Garage/Furniture Towne/Anderson Motorsports Stables/Spencer Motorsports/Martin Dynamics/Sanger Investments/Lakefront Renovations/Polchosky Excavating-sponsored #44.


 

Hardy's second place was his best Tour effort of 2025, which was worth $2,000, as he continues to hold down the runner-up spot in points. "It's a good rebound after a 10th last night," acknowledged the 32-year-old Winchester, VA driver. "We don't get to race on surfaces like Stateline as it's flat and super slick. Back home it's really slick also, but it's a different kind of dirt and takes a different package. We used some notes from the past here and was able to work on it and just glad to run second to Dave (Hess) as he's pretty dominate here. I've raced with him over the years and knew he was going to be tough. Bryce and Dave were going it at pretty hard and Bryce missed the bottom a little and that's why I got him. Good job to Dave for his run tonight. Thanks to all the fans for coming out. It was a great racing surface. Eriez did a great job with it as you could race all over it and didn't rubber up."


 

Davis dropped to third for $1,000, but nonetheless was a great weekend following his first Tour win of 2025 on Saturday night at Stateline Speedway. Davis joined Hess and Hardy by receiving a three-pack of premium product from Heritage Wine Cellars. Wonderling was fourth for his 7th top four finish in 10 races to maintain the lead in the $20,000 to-win Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Tour standings. Allen was fifth for his fifth top five of 2025 as he continues to have an excellent sophomore season on the Tour.


 

For the second straight night, Jason Genco was the top track regular as he went ninth to sixth to continue his lead in the City Chevrolet National Weekly Series and City Chevrolet Track Pack points at Eriez. Breyton Santee, who has three wins this season in weekly competition at Eriez, raced from 15th to 7th. Chad Homan was 8th after starting 11th. Tour regular Mike Wonderling had a good run going 16th to 9th as Billy Henry, Jr. completed the top 10. Ashton Briggs received an Ontime Body & Graphic spoiler kit for finishing 11th. Austin Hauser went 25th to 13 to earn the $50 Precise Racing Products Hard Charger gift card.


 

Colby Beighey ended the night winning D&V Jewelers Non-Qualifier for the second time in his career. The 32-year-old Taylor, MI driver started third and passed track regular Andrew Chess on lap seven and led the remainder of the 10-lap event to score the $200 win. Chess was second and also received a $50 Holley Performance gift card for being the first feature non-qualifier. Veteran Ward Schell was third over Khole Wanzer and William Pinckney. Fifteen of the 27 scheduled starters took the green flag. 


 

Davis set fast time overall against the 52-car field in FK Rod Ends "Shock the Clock" Qualifying with a lap of 16.563 to earn $100. Winning the $25 FK Rod Ends heat races were Davis, Hess, Jacob Wilber, Hardy, Allen, and Carley, while David Parker, Brad Mesler, and Bill Holmes III won the three last chance B mains. Davis earned a $100 Sunoco fuel card as he became just the season's second repeat Sunoco Dash winner.


 

Davis also receiving another $100 Sunoco fuel card by being one of the two random draw winners for the Tour races as did Bud Watson, while the $50 Sunoco fuel cards went to Homan, Austin Fitzgerald, Andy Michael, and Gary Youngs. Landrum Performance Springs, which will award a $5,000 “Loyalty Bonus” later in the year to a lucky full-time Flynn’s Tire/Gunter’s Honey Touring Series regular, distributed ‘buy one, get one’ spring certificates to Hess, Shane Crotty, David Parker, Henry, and Drake McCray.

BRYCE DAVIS BECOMES THE 7TH DIFFERENT WINNER IN 9 FLYNN’S TIRE/GUNTER’S HONEY TOUR EVENTS IN 2025 AS HIS $4,000 VICTORY COMES OVER A 42-CAR FIELD AT STATELINE

By Mike Leone


 

July 26, 2025 - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(Busti, NY)...After opening the 2025 campaign for the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply RUSH Dirt Late Model Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Touring Series at Stateline Speedway, the cars and stars of the Tour returned three months later on Saturday night for the second and final visit of the season to first year owner Bill Catania’s facility. Back in May, an all-time Stateline record high 49 Chevrolet Performance Late Models from six states plus Ontario, Canada competed in the eighth annual “Bill Law Memorial”, while Saturday drew an impressive 42-car field! For the first time in Series history, Empire State racers won every single event contested (13) during the night including two flights of qualifying, six heat races, the dash, twin B mains, the feature, and the non-qualifier! 

 

Bryce Davis passed good friend and teammate, Austin Allen, to win the Sunoco Dash, which earned him the feature pole. That pass proved to be crucial as Davis then proceeded to lead all 30 laps of the feature and kept a closing Allen at bay in the final laps in lapped traffic to become the season’s seventh different winner in nine races! Ironically, it was the first win for Davis in one year almost exactly as the 2017 Flynn’s Tire/Gunter’s Honey Tour Champion last won with the Series on August 7, 2024 at his home track, Woodhull Raceway. Davis celebrated in the Landrum Performance Springs Victory Lane after earning the $4,000 payday.

 

“We really needed this after the disappointing run two weeks ago at Pittsburgh,” acknowledged the 34-year-old Canisteo, NY driver after not qualifying for the “Jook George Steel City Classic”. “The car is back on track, we had a good run, my buddy and teammate finished second so we couldn’t ask for a better night. We ran good down there last year, but were just missing something this year so I think this makes up for most of it. I kept spinning my tires on the restarts on the bottom and they (Jeremy Wonderling and Allen) could stay with me and if they could make it stick going into (turn) one I thought I was going to be in trouble, but thankfully it worked out in my favor. This Series is awesome; they pay well and treat all the racers fair and I couldn’t ask for any better tour than what you guys put on so this means a lot.”

 

Following the Dave Poske’s Performance Parts “Feel the RUSH” 4-Wide Salute, Davis raced into the early lead, while Jeremy Wonderling passed Allen for second as Allen, Demetrios Drellos, and Mike Wonderling filled out the first five. Davis began to pull away from the field, while the battle was on for second as Jeremy Wonderling was trying to fend off Allen, and Drellos. Lapped traffic came into play on lap eight, but a three-car accident slowed action for the first time after the eighth lap was scored.

 

Back under green on lap nine, it was three-wide for fourth with eighth starting Dave Hess, Jr. momentarily going sixth to fourth, but Drellos was able to get back by when they crossed the start-finish line. Davis once again stretched out his lead on lap 11. When Davis caught lapped traffic on lap 17, he had built up a lead of 2.764 seconds. 

 

A caution for a spin by Canadian Craig Graham slowed action with 19 laps scored. When green replaced yellow, Jeremy Wonderling and Allen made contact fighting for the same bit of race track entering the bottom of turn one with Wonderling spinning and collected Tour racers Jason Knowles, Brad Mesler, and Daryl Charlier along with former regular Brandt Graham. 

 

The last 11 laps went green-to-checkered. Davis caught lapped traffic for a third time of the event- this time with two laps to go. Allen really closed in on the final lap, but ran out of time as Davis crossed the finish line first by just 0.591 seconds in the David Davis, Jr.-owned, Griswold's ETR Services/Davis Electric/Hubertus Services-sponsored #94 for his 13th career Flynn’s Tire/Gunter’s Honey Tour win, but first ever at Stateline.

 

One-week after winning a City Chevrolet Weekly Series event at Stateline, Allen came home a career best Tour finish of second. Allen was able to beat his prior best third place efforts last year at Stateline and this year at Ohio Valley and earned $2,000 for the sophomore Tour racer, who finished runner-up in the 2024 3C Graphix Rookie-of-the-Year standings.

 

“Jeremy (Wonderling) has helped me out a ton and I hate that that happened,” acknowledged the 28-year-old Canisteo, NY resident.  “That’s the worst thing and I hate to race like that. I know it’s one-lane and the restart before that he left the lane open. I thought he was going to do it again, but he came down and by the time I tried to react I was already in his left rear. I hope he understands, if not, I get it. The car was really good. I saw Jeremy was on softs (tires) and I seen they were going away a little bit and I was hoping to time the restart just right and he could see me. It’s the only thing I can think of right now and I just feel so bad.”

 

Drellos debuted a brand-new Rocket Chassis and ironically matched his best career Tour effort from opening night at Stateline with another third place to earn $1,000. Drellos was able to maintain third place in points and the lead in the $3,000 to-win 3C Graphix Rookie-of-the-Year standings with his seventh top 10 in nine races. Drellos joined Davis and Allen by receiving a three-pack of premium Heritage Wine Cellars product.

 

“This is the first night on this new car and we’re still trying to work out some new kinks to see what it likes,” revealed the 28-year-old Queensbury, NY standout. “This place is so tough and if you’re a little bit off, you’re a lot off. When we unloaded, we were 95% and we just kept working in the right direction and were pretty okay at the end. I didn’t have anything for these guys (Davis and Allen), but we were still pretty good and pretty good is what we needed. This class is so competive and so close. We’re tenths of a second difference and one mistake and you’re fifth and you make another mistake and two guys go by you- especially here. I love doing this and love racing with these guys; we have a lot of fun and are making new friends. Dave Hess, Jr. is a legend here and I’m glad I was able to keep him behind me and if I made one mistake he was getting by me.”

 

Hess made it halfway to the front from his eighth starting spot with a fourth-place finish. Jason Genco, who leads the City Chevrolet National Weekly Series points as well as the City Chevrolet Track Pack points at Stateline, gained two spots to finish fifth as he was the top Stateline regular. Mike Wonderling matched his season’s best finish in sixth. Jacob Wilber was seventh. Track regular, David Parker, beat out the fellow #2 of Zack Carley for eighth. Kyle Hardy went 17th to 10th to hold the runner-up spot in points and also received a spoiler kit from Ontime Body & Graphic. West Virginia Tour regular, Ryan Hare, went 23rd to 12th for his best finish since a fifth on September 3, 2023 at his home track, Tyler County Speedway, and received a $50 gift card from Precise Racing Products for being the hard charger.

 

Randy Hall ended the night leading all 10 laps of the D&V Jewelers Non-Qualifier. The 54-year-old Olean, NY driver earned $200 aboard the Donald Krug-owned, Future State Engineering/Suzzane's Sweets/Wesleyan Church of Little Valley/A&S Logging/Southern Tier Electric Supply-sponsored #87. Hall became the amazing 85th different winner in 106 “Wheelman” Bonus Event Challenge Series events run all-time! Scott Dellahoy, Jr. made his first Tour start in well over three years and finished second. RUSH Late Model rookie, Austin Fitzgerald, passed Raymond Houser on lap eight to finish third. Ninth starting Harry Halliday came home fourth after passing Houser on lap nine in his first Tour race in more than six years since last competing in the Quebec two-night swing! Houser dropped to fifth.

 

Jeremy Wonderling became the 9th different driver in 10 races to set fast time overall in FK Rod Ends “Shock the Clock” Qualifying and earned $100 with a lap of 17.513. Ironically, Davis set fast time in flight B qualifying with an identical 17.513, but Wonderling had the faster of two second laps to win the tiebreaker. Jeremy Wonderling, Allen, Mike Wonderling, Davis, Drellos, and Wilber won the $25 FK Rod Ends heat races.

 

Davis became the 9th different Sunoco Dash winner in 10 races and earned a $100 Sunoco Fuel card. Also receiving $100 Sunoco Fuel cards in random drawings were Tour racers Charlier and Hare, while the $50 Sunoco Fuel cards were won by Hardy, Brandt Graham, Ward Schell, and Steve Houser. Landrum Performance Springs, which will award a $5,000 “Loyalty Bonus” later in the year to a lucky full-time Flynn’s Tire/Gunter’s Honey Touring Series regular, distributed ‘buy one, get one’ spring certificates to Parker, Raymond Houser, Ben Easler, Hess, and Drellos.

 

The Flynn’s Tire/Gunter's Honey Touring Series will return to action on Sunday (August 10) at Eriez Speedway in Erie, Pa. for a $4,000 to-win event for “Manufacturers Night” presented by MSD Performance. RUSH registration opens at 3 p.m. with the drivers meeting at 5:25 following by the manufacturer’s drawings. Racing begins at 6:30 p.m.

By Mike Leone


 

August 5, 2025 - FOR IMMEDIATE 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 of $441 up to $1,184.

Four-time Flynn’s Tire/Gunter’s Honey Touring Series Champion, Jeremy Wonderling, who has two wins in 2025, leads the Tour into the weekend atop the standings by 41 over Hardy, who is still looking for his first win of the season. Demetrios Drellos has worked his way back up to third in points after back-to-back ninth place finishes land also leads the $3,000 to-win 3C Graphix Rookie-of-the-Year points. Second year Tour racers, Austin Allen and Ben Easler, are fourth and fifth respectively.
