IMPERIAL, PA (October 4, 2025) – Jonathan Davenport repeated his performance from a year ago by leading all 70 laps to win the 37th Annual Pittsburgher Saturday night at Pittsburgh’s Pennsylvania Motor Speedway, earning $50,000.

 

Davenport started third on the grid, and by the end of the first lap, he was out front. Max Blair earned the Hoker Trucking Hard Charger of the Race after moving from 13th to finish second. Devin Moran completed the Big River Steel Podium in third, taking a 15-point lead in the championship standings into the season finale at Eldora Speedway in two weeks.

 

Ricky Thornton Jr finished fourth, with Brandon Sheppard rounding out the top five drivers.

 

In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 92nd time in his career, the Blairsville, Georgia driver heads to Eldora in two weeks, third in the championship points, as he looks to try and win his first career Dirt Track World Championship.

 

“It’s definitely really hard to lead here; the track is so wide. There are a lot of options and different lanes to choose from. I had to judge off of lapped cars - once I got behind them, I was just trying to maintain my momentum until I reached them. Our car felt pretty good; I was just trying to manage my tires during the first 40 or 50 laps so I’d have something left at the end. We weren’t that good yesterday and really couldn’t understand why, so we second-guessed ourselves. We put our heads together, talked about it, thought it through, and came up with a game plan for today,” said the three-time series champion.

 

“There are always 'what ifs' in the back of your mind, and then you realize the guys lining up behind you, and you don’t know if they’ve been saving their tires or running a different line than you have. It started to clear up just a little bit through one and two around the mid part of the race, and then after we had that long caution, everyone kept rolling through it, I guess, through the mud and everything, which kind of covered it back up. I was searching for a few laps after that caution, but the grip finally came back. You never know what’s happening behind you, and it can change in a hurry. We could run over something and get a flat or have a mechanical issue, so luckily none of that happened.”

 

Blair, who finished third in the Friday Night program, charged through the field to secure second place on lap 61 and earned $20,000 for his runner-up finish in the Centerline Motorsports entry.

 

“Well, the first thing I thought of was Lernerville. I thought I was going to finish second to him (Davenport), but we ended up finishing third, and there's a really big pay difference between second and third. So, I really didn’t want to give away second. I mean, he was better than everybody else. I ran him down in the last couple of laps, but I think that was just more of him not wanting to get into lapped traffic. I’m sure his crew was telling him he was okay. I think he kind of had everybody covered. But to come here and run second against these guys is pretty awesome, for sure.”

 

Moran moved past Thornton after a late restart to secure third place as he leaves Pittsburgh 15 points ahead of Thornton.

 

“I really think that when we got to lapped traffic, Brandon Overton showed me the top line, and my car was so bad off the top that I had to commit to it. At the same time, I had to be careful not to get flats like Brandon did tonight or Ricky did last night. It's definitely a fine line between going really hard and causing problems. I’m just glad we salvaged that race; we were struggling badly early on, but we managed to find the high line. Pittsburgh did an awesome job with the track all weekend long.”

 

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

 

Completing the top ten were Carson Ferguson, Garrett Alberson, Mason Zeigler, Josh Richards, and Brandon Overton.

IMPERIAL, PA (October 3, 2025) – For the second year in a row, Devin Moran of Dresden, Ohio, won the Friday night portion of the Pittsburgher as he led the final 16 laps in scoring the $10,000 to win Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing main event at Pittsburgh’s Pennsylvania Motor Speedway.

 

With the win, Moran now trails points leader Ricky Thornton Jr. by five points heading into the $50,000-to-win 37th Annual Pittsburgher on Saturday night. Thornton was leading when he suffered a right rear flat tire with 14 laps remaining. Thornton pitted, returned to the race, and finished ninth.

 

Brandon Sheppard passed Garrett Alberson with two laps to go to finish second, while Max Blair also overtook Alberson on the final lap to complete the Big River Steel podium in third. Alberson and Jonathan Davenport finished in the top five.

 

Moran took the lead from the Victory Fuel pole and led the field for the first five laps until Thornton surged to the front on lap six. Thornton had started fourth and fell back to fifth early in the race, but he gained momentum by using the outside groove of the half-mile track to overtake Moran. However, Thornton then slowed exiting turn two with 14 laps to go as his right rear tire blew out, allowing Moran to regain the lead.  

 

In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 24th time in his career, Moran will try to join his Hall-of-Fame father, Donnie, as the second father-son combo to win the Pittsburgher, joining Hudson and Don O’Neal.

 

“We started off really strong at the beginning of the year but then struggled a bit through the middle as we tried different things and figured out what to do at this point. I honestly didn’t expect the top to be that good, because it looked like there was just dust up there, but Ricky Thornton is Ricky Thornton for a reason. It was a bummer he got a flat, but we were lucky enough to take advantage of his misfortune. Once he got up there and burned that top in, and after he took the lead, I knew where to go. I felt like I was pretty good up there behind him.”

 

Sheppard finished 1.844 seconds behind Moran at the end, and like Moran, he will be looking for his first career Pittsburgher victory on Saturday night.

 

“We were definitely trying some things for the long-run race tomorrow night. I felt like I was getting better in the longer runs we had, but we didn’t get many long runs in, so we’ll be ready tomorrow. We definitely need to fine-tune this a little bit, but all in all, the longer we went, the better we did. So with a longer race, we will be really good,” said the New Berlin, Illinois, racer who sits fifth in the points.

 

Blair got by Alberson on the final circuit to finish third after starting in seventh.

 

“The race track was real fast at the start and that’s just not me, so I just bided my time hoping it would slow down, and it did I wish tonight was 50 laps because I think we’re getting better and better there, but hopefully we’ve got something to work with for tomorrow and maybe we can be back here on the podium.”

 

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, Anthony’s Pizza, Red Oak Pub, Refuel Wellness, Pee Wee’s Wrecker Service, Car Source Auto, McHugh Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram, Eibach Springs, VP Fuels, Smoky Mountain Speedway, and Haulin’ Haskell’s.

BROWNSTOWN, IN (September 27, 2025) – Ricky Thornton Jr. took the lead for good on lap 76 after a spirited battle with Devin Moran that lasted for several laps, then led the rest of the way to win the 46th Annual Jackson 100 presented by the Jackson County Visitors Center on Saturday night at Brownstown Speedway.

 

Thornton’s 14th Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing win of the year earned the Chandler, Arizona native $50,000 for his second Jackson 100 in the last three years.

 

Moran finished in second, followed by Bobby Pierce, Carson Ferguson, and Tyler Erb.

 

Moran led the first 21 laps of the race from the Victory Fuel Pole, as the two-time and reigning Indiana Icebreaker winner was aiming for his first Jackson 100 victory. Moran maintained his lead until Pierce, who started on the inside of row five, took the lead on the 22nd lap.

 

Pierce then held the point until Moran regained the lead on lap 46. Moran then saw Thornton, who started on the outside of the front row and had dropped back to seventh at one point, climb back to second on lap 66 and then went back-and-forth with Moran for the lead before finally overtaking him for good on lap 76.

 

In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 56th time in his career, Thornton will hold the championship points lead heading into Pittsburgh next weekend.

 

“I felt like I needed to go way before that,” said the winner after he finally was able to clear Moran for the lead with 24 laps to go. “I felt like me and Terbo ran door-to-door for 20 to 25 laps, and it's nice to know you can race a car super hard like that, and he gives you plenty of room. I didn’t know what happened there with Devin and JD; it looked like they both were just kind of going to the bottom and made a little contact, and JD went around. Obviously, you don’t ever want to see that with a championship competitor like that, but luckily for us, it was one really good car we didn’t have to worry about after that.”

 

I didn’t know whether I needed to be on the bottom or the top, and I knew I was going to go to the bottom at that point. I got the lead up top; you could circle around the bottom and build so much speed that the top couldn’t keep up. We had that yellow, and Bobby chose the bottom. I don’t think he knew the top was a little better, just that during that first lap or two, once your tires got cold and before they warmed up again, you could just take advantage of the choppiness of the race track and really get going again.  

 

Moran and Davenport made contact while racing for second on lap 44, giving his point of view of the incident in Victory Lane after finishing in second after leading the most laps in the race.

 

“I definitely didn’t want that to happen, and he was just laying out really hard. I filled the gap right there, and we must have hit tire to tire because neither of us had any marks on our cars or anything. It’s really unfortunate; I didn’t want that to happen. I wanted to race it out, but it’s a bummer. All in all, it was a good run for sure. We were sliding back and forth lap after lap, and I found a really good line during the last six or seven laps. I felt like I was inching closer to him, but it was just too late at that point. Ricky is just a really good racer, and it makes this chase for the championship just a little bit harder.”

 

Pierce, who entered the weekend as the winningest dirt late model driver in the country with 29 feature wins, led laps 22-45 and finished on the Big River Steel Podium in third.

 

“I've been around long enough to know not to count my eggs before they hatch. Many times here, I've been at the start of the race. It’s a great feeling when you drive from ninth to the lead and start pulling away, but it’s still very early in the race. Heck, we still had a whole other feature to go, and about 50 laps left at that point. I knew the track was going to evolve, and once the speeds slowed down a bit, I feel like that’s when I struggled to keep the car on the race track when we were crawling around. I have to say, those guys up front are a bunch of wheelmen battling for the lead. That was fun to watch when I was back in third.”

BROWNSTOWN, IN (September 26, 2025) – Nick Hoffman made his mark in the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series record books on Friday night at Brownstown Speedway, becoming the 94th different winner in the series' 21-year history. Hoffman took the lead on lap 30 and narrowly edged out Brandon Sheppard at the finish line to win the $10,000 prize in the 4th Annual C.J. Rayburn Memorial.

 

Hoffman, the defending Hoosier Dirt Classic winner at Brownstown, won by just .081 seconds in one of the closest finishes in series history.

 

Sheppard finished second, with 10th-place starter Devin Moran rounding out the Big River Steel Podium in third. Moran was aiming for his third win in the last two years at Brownstown, as he has secured Victory Lane in the last two Indiana Icebreaker races.

 

Jonathan Davenport took the lead at the start of the race, leading the first nine laps until he had to pit under caution for a left rear tire flat. Sheppard then moved up as Moran and Hoffman made it a three-car battle for the lead, with Hoffman passing Moran for second on lap 14. 

 

Hoffman then pressured Sheppard for the lead through heavy traffic while Moran was close behind in third. Hoffman was able to clear Sheppard on lap 30, and in the final 10 laps, he held on for the thrilling finish win.

 

Current championship points leader Ricky Thornton Jr. finished fourth, with Garrett Alberson rounding out the top five drivers.

 

In a race with three different leaders, Hoffman was the third and final leader after starting on the outside of row two for the 40-lap main event.

 

In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the first time in his career, the modified standout turned late model stalwart finally broke through at one of his favorite racetracks as he collected his ninth overall win of the year.

 

“JD was in the lead there, and I just didn’t know where to be. I was just trying to play with him a little because Ricky was beside me, and I was trying to get around Jason Jameson. Finally, I cleared him, and then I could run where I wanted. Devin showed me his nose there, and he was able to get by me on that restart, which got me back on the outside. On a restart, our car was good. It was just about picking the right lanes, but I ended up losing at the end, and I reached a point where I couldn’t run where I wanted to. So, I started playing defense, and with Sheppy behind you, he’s probably the cleanest guy out there.”

 

Sheppard, who was aiming for his third career win at Brownstown, narrowly missed the victory as he searches for his first Jackson 100 win on Saturday night.

 

“I shouldn’t have given up the lead the first time. When I got to lapped traffic, I was really trying to charge hard through the middle to pass the lapped cars, and I think that’s where I made a mistake because most of us had soft left rear tires. So when I charged through that middle, I could just feel myself getting worse and worse, and I would slide from center off. I think I overheated my left rear tire there, and then I wasn’t as good when I got down on the bottom.”

 

Moran kept up his impressive runs at Brownstown over the last two seasons, coming from 10th to finish in third place.

 

“You always aim to be in victory lane. It was unfortunate for JD to get a flat, and I don’t really know what happened between Ricky and Hud, but it was unfortunate for those guys. Overall, it was a great night for us. I really thought we had a good car there at the end, and I was right behind those guys. It was a great points night.”

MAX BLAIR FOLLOWS UP $20,000 RUNNER-UP FINISH IN THE LUCAS OIL LATE MODEL "PITTSBURGHER" WITH $10,000 HOVIS RUSH LATE MODEL FLYNN'S TIRE/GUNTER'S HONEY TOUR VICTORY AT PPMS; 50 DIFFERENT RUSH CARS COMPETED IN "BILL HENDREN MEMORIAL"

By Mike Leone


 

October 4, 2025 - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(Imperial, PA)...The Hovis Auto & Truck Supply RUSH Dirt Late Model Flynn’s Tire/Gunter’s Honey Touring Series returned to Pittsburgh PA Motor Speedway on a beautiful Saturday evening for the third and final time of the season. Race #17 of 2025, which was night two of the “Bill Hendren Memorial”, was part of the “Pittsburgher 100” weekend with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and was contested in front of a packed grandstand and live on FloRacing. Forty-four cars were on hand as a total of 50 different ones competed over the two nights from eight different states and Ontario, Canada! Special thanks to FK Rod Ends, City Chevrolet, Pro Fabrication, Hendren Racing Engines, West Mifflin Collision, CrateInsider.com, Stan's Transmission, and Branden Lockwich for their sponsorship along with PPMS to make this year's "Bill Hendren Memorial" weekend the richest in history!

 

Max Blair kicked off the 2025 Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Touring Series campaign by sweeping the Stateline-Eriez Speedway weekend for more than $8,000. On Saturday night, Blair brought down the curtain on the "Pittsburgher" weekend in his final RUSH Late Model race of the season with a $10,000 victory in the "Bill Hendren Memorial", which followed an impressive $20,000 runner-up performance with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series! In the 40-lap "Bill Hendren Memorial", Blair tracked down Friday night's winner, Carson Ferguson, and made the winning pass on lap 19 to reach Landrum Performance Victory Lane for the all-time leading 36th time in his career in RUSH Tour competition, but first ever at Pittsburgh.  Blair's massive two-night "Pittsburgher 100" weekend was worth approximately $35,000! 

 

"What a night," expressed the 35-year-old Centerville, Pa. standout. "I knew we were really, really good but for some reason it just wouldn't take off on the double-file restarts- honestly I thought I gave it away. I didn't think I got a very good restart on that last one, but did just enough to keep him (Ferguson) behind me going into (turn) one. It all worked out and we're standing here so that's all that matters. It's awesome to do this at Pittsburgh. I struggled so bad for so many years early in my crate career and used to dread coming down here because we were so terrible. We've run really well the last several years in our Super Late Model and this is really the first I've been any good here in a crate car. The Hendrens have done a lot for me over my career. I've gotten motors and carburetors from them and they guided me in the right direction when I had questions even when I wasn't running their stuff. They are great people and this one is pretty awesome."

 

Following the Dave Poske's Performance Parts "Feel the RUSH" 4-Wide Salute, Blair and Ferguson led the 26-car starting field to green for the feature. Blair and Ferguson raced side-by-side around "Dirt's Monster Half-Mile" on the opening lap with Blair taking the advantage, while Ben Easler, Christian Schneider, and Kyle Hardy filled out the first five. Eighth starting Mason Zeigler cracked the top five on lap four and joined the battle for third with Easler and Schneider as Blair and Ferguson opened up some ground before a caution for Jeremy Wonderling with five laps scored.

 

When green replaced yellow on lap six, Ferguson made the outside work on the double-file restart to take the lead. Schneider, who one-night prior went ninth to second, took third from Easler on lap seven before a caution for a slowing Daryl Charlier. Back under green, seventh starting Schneider continued his forward progress taking second from Blair, while Zeigler moved up to fourth past Easler. Friday night saw Blair fade from second to fifth at the finish; Blair though wasn't about to have that happen again after dropping from first to third in the first eight laps as he'd regain runner-up from Schneider on lap nine.

 

Ferguson had opened up a comfortable lead primed for the $14,000+ weekend sweep, while the positions were changing behind him. Ferguson's lead shrunk to 0.958 seconds when he caught lapped traffic on lap 16. Blair quickly cut more into Ferguson's advantage in the ensuing laps and was able to make the winning pass on lap 19 in lapped traffic. Blair quickly dashed away from Ferguson and stretched out his lead as the laps ticked off under green flag conditions. Zeigler continued to move forward taking third from Schneider on lap 26.

 

A spin by Zack Carley in turn four wasn't what Blair wanted to see with seven laps to go as his lead of 4.596 seconds evaporated. Blair was barely able to keep Ferguson at bay on the ensuing restart, but as the laps wound down once again stretched out his lead. When the checkered flag waved, Blair crossed the finish first by 1.514 seconds in the Dave McManus/Centerline Motorsports-owned, Murphy’s Logging/C&J Dairy/Creek Pizza & Pub/Coltman Farms/Tavern 618/Gable Inn/Riggs Fiber/Creekside Auto Sales/Deer Lake Bowl/Bish Heating & Cooling/TLW Trucking-sponsored #114.  It was only Blair's second career Pittsburgh win and first since 2009. 

 

Even though Ferguson came up one-spot shy of Friday night's $4,000 victory, the North Carolina racer pocketed $5,000 for second aboard Cameron Tribble's #1. "It was a good weekend," acknowledged the 25-year-old racer. "I didn't keep up with the track very good. I thought it was going to get more rubbered up than it did. I should have tightened up a little more; it was a little miscue on my part. We gave it everything we had on the restarts, but it just wasn't quite good enough at the end. Max (Blair) was really good on that long run and I was going to have to throw a Hail Mary at it and try to keep it as clean as I could. I was able to pinch him off on that second restart, but it was only a matter of time until he got back by me again." 

 

After falling as far as sixth from his third place starting spot, Easler was able to move back into the top five on lap 16 then raced back by Schneider and Zeigler in the closing laps to record a career best Tour finish of third worth $2,500. Easler's prior best Tour finish was a fourth at Ohio Valley Speedway on July 4 as his team joined Blair and Ferguson in receiving a three-pack of premium product from Heritage Wine Cellars for reaching the podium. After just two top 10 finishes in his rookie Tour season one-year ago, Saturday night was Easler's seventh of the 2025 campaign with one-race to go.

 

"Out of all places to get my first podium on the Tour- this is unreal," expressed the 19-year-old Linesville, Pa. driver. "We've never been good here. We have come here for some (RUSH Late Model) Weekly Series shows and tuned our stuff in and it's finally paying off for us. I think we were too free and probably could have tightened up a bit, but the last restart saved me. We had a great car this weekend. Last night we charged from the back and tonight qualified good to get ourselves good track position. I can't lie- it's humbling and kind of surreal to battle with the guys I've watched growing up. It's hard because you're fans of these guys, but then when you're on the race track you can't think of it that way."

 

Zeigler's second top four finish in as many nights was worth $2,000. Schneider's fourth straight top five Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Tour finish was worth $1,500. Kyle Hardy was sixth for $1,200 as he recorded his 14th top 10 in 15 Tour starts this season to maintain second in points.  3C Graphix Rookie-of-the-Year points leader, Demetrios Drellos, earned $1,000 as he finished seventh for the second straight night. Kyle Zimmerman advanced two spots from his 10th starting spot as Pittsburgh regulars Zach Gunn and Michael Reft completed the top 10.

 

After a crash in hot laps ended his night on Friday, Clinton Hersh went 20th to 11th to earn the $50 Precise Racing Products Hard Charger gift card. 3C Graphix rookie racer, Ryan Hare, qualified for the feature both nights and his 18th place finish earned him a spoiler kit from Ontime Body & Graphic.

 

For the second time this season at Pittsburgh, Logan Zarin was victorious in the D&V Jewelers Non-Qualifier. Zarin won $500 at the "Jook George Steel City Classic" on July 26 and pocketed $400 on Saturday night for his fourth career win tying him for first on the all-time win list with Jamie Wrightsman and Brandt Graham.  The 23-year-old Hookstown, Pa. driver led all 10 non-stop laps aboard the Greg Beach-owned, Anarchy Kustoms/RPM Shock Services/Kryptonite Race Cars/Integra Shocks-sponsored #33x. 

 

Fourth starting Anthony Monteparte passed Canadian Steve Baldwin on the opening lap for third then got by Tour regular Mike Wonderling for second on lap two. Monteparte trailed Zarin by only 0.928 seconds at the finish in his Tour debut in his rookie RUSH Late Model season. Wonderling was third, but for the second straight night received a $50 Holley Performance gift card for being the first feature non-qualifier. Virginian Jacob Whitt was fourth as Jacob Billyk, Jr. beat out his brother Jackson for fifth.   

 

Zeigler set fast time overall against the 44-car field in FK Rods Ends "Shock the Clock" Qualifying with a lap of 19.226 to earn $100 for the second time this season. Winning the $25 FK Rod Ends heat races were Ferguson, Easler, Zeigler, and Blair. Devin Brannon and Charlier won the last chance B mains. Blair won his second Sunoco Dash of the season to not only receive a $100 Sunoco fuel card, but $400 cash as part of the "Bob Bentz Memorial" race presented by Stan's Transmission. Bentz, Jr. put up $1,500 for dash competitors over the two nights. 

 

Also receiving $100 Sunoco fuel cards as part of the "Fill'er up with Sunoco Bucks" presented by Bazell Race Fuels drawings were Tour drivers Hardy and Drellos, while the $50 fuel cards went to Forrest Trent, Whitt, Zarin, and Baldwin.  

 

Landrum Performance Springs, which will award the $5,000 Loyalty Bonus to an eligible Flynn’s Tire/Gunter’s Honey Touring Series regular at the season ending event, distributed BOGO certificates on Saturday night, which were captured by Jason Knowles, Brannon, Matt Benard, Hare and Jake Gunn.

 

The Flynn’s Tire/Gunter's Honey Touring Series will close out the 2025 season at Lernerville Speedway October 9-11 for the "Steel City Stampede". Practice will be on Thursday with qualifying, heat races, and the Sunoco Dash on Friday night with the last chance B mains, $4,000 to-win feature and D&V Jewelers Non-Qualifier on Saturday. The rain date is Sunday.

CARSON FERGUSON WINS NIGHT 1 OF “BILL HENDREN MEMORIAL” AT PITTSBURGH IN HIS HOVIS RUSH LATE MODEL DEBUT TO BECOME THE 10TH DIFFERENT FLYNN’S TIRE/GUNTER’S HONEY TOUR WINNER OF 2025

By Mike Leone


 

October 3, 2025 - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(Imperial, PA)...The Hovis Auto & Truck Supply RUSH Dirt Late Model Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Touring Series kicked off night 1 of the annual “Bill Hendren Memorial” on a beautiful Friday evening at Pittsburgh PA Motor Speedway. Race #16 of the 2025 season attracted 46 cars from eight states plus Ontario, Canada.  The event was streamed live on FloRacing part of the “Pittsburgher 100” weekend with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series.

 

Making his first ever RUSH Late Model start, Carson Ferguson out-dueled 2025 Lernerville Speedway $20,000 “Bill Emig Memorial” winner, Mason Zeigler, and all-time leading Series winner, Max Blair, in the 30-lap feature to kick-off night 1 of the “Bill Hendren Memorial”. Ferguson lost the lead early to Zeigler then regained it back on a late race restart as he led the final four laps to join fellow Tar Heel State resident, Steve Hendren, in Landrum Performance Victory Lane. Ferguson earned $4,000 for his feature win as he became the season’s 10th different winner!

 

“This feels awesome,” expressed the 25-year-old Lincolnton, North Carolina driver. “I’m glad this whole deal came together. We shook this car down on Wednesday at Cherokee (Speedway), but hurt a motor then had truck problems coming up here, but Andrew and Ken stuck threw it. Hopefully we can repeat this tomorrow night and maybe grab us a Super (Late Model) win.” 

 

“We’ve had a good relationship with Steve (Hendren) and his son Alex and used to run their stuff when we ran crates- they’re a good family and I’m just glad we could come out here,” added Ferguson. “I just couldn’t get in a rhythm and then Max got by me. We were chugging the leader down in traffic when I could roll the top again and felt like I was catching Mason (Zeigler) then the caution came out. Luckily, he gave me the top and I could get a run off the hill; I have to thank him and Max (Blair) for racing me clean and the facility for putting this on.”

 

Following the Dave Poske’s Performance Parts “Feel the RUSH” 4-Wide Salute, Ferguson and Zeigler led the 26-car starting field to green for the feature with Zeigler using the outside to power into the lead on the opening lap. Ferguson ran the bottom to grab the lead on lap two, but Zeigler took control back on lap three. By lap four, the top three of Zeigler, Ferguson, and Blair distanced themselves from the field.

 

As Zeigler continued to lead, Blair and Ferguson raced side-by-side for runner-up on laps 8-12 with Blair getting by in lapped traffic on lap 12. Zeigler had stretched out his lead to 1.377 seconds by the time Blair reached second. Ferguson didn’t go away as he was able to get back by Blair for second on lap 19, which would prove critical as after 26 non-stop laps, five-time 2025 Pittsburgh City Chevrolet Weekly Series winner, Brandon Burgoon, slowed to bring out the event’s first caution.

 

Zeigler chose the inside for the double-file restart, which played into Ferguson’s hands as he powered by on the outside. Zeigler stayed close and a pair of cautions with 28 laps scored gave him another shot. Ferguson though was too strong on the outside as he blasted into the lead and pulled away in the final two laps. Ferguson stretched out his lead and took the checkered flag first by a comfortable margin of 1.718 seconds in the Cameron Tribble-owned, Tribble Electric/Central Site Prep/Armour Metals-sponsored #1. Ferguson became the milestone 50th different driver to win a RUSH Tour event all-time in the 13-year history of the Series.

 

Ninth starting Christian Schneider, who won the $6,010 “Jook George Steel City Classic” on July 26 at Pittsburgh and most recently finished runner-up at Tri-City Raceway Park on August 29, went fourth to second on the final restart to earn $2,000. “It’s better to be lucky than good,” acknowledged the 28-year-old Pittsburgh, Pa. racer. “I was closing in on them at the end, but it felt like on those last two restarts I was given a gift from God. It felt like my tires were sealed over and figured I was going to go backwards, but I got them warmed up again. I didn’t mean to get into Mason (Zeigler)- I really feel bad about that. He must have had a monster run and thought I had him cleared when I rode up to the wall. I don’t like racing like that and I apologize to him. These guys are bad ass. I’m tickled pink to be standing up here on the podium.”  

 

After leading laps 3-26, Zeigler struggled on the late race restarts and dropped to a disappointing third, worth $1,000. Zeigler also joined Ferguson and Schneider by receiving a three-pack of Heritage Wine Cellars premium product. Daryl Charlier, who won at Tri-City Raceway Park back on May 25, went 12th to 4th for his third top five finish in the last four Tour races. Blair, who ran in the second position from laps 12-19, faded to fifth at the finish. Blair though has finished in the top five in all five of his 2025 Tour starts including wins at Stateline and Eriez Speedways. 

 

Jeremy Wonderling was a quiet sixth for just his fourth finish outside the top five in 16 starts this season, but it was good enough to clinch his unprecedented fifth Flynn’s Tire/Gunter’s Honey Tour Championships worth a personal best $20,000! 3C Graphix Rookie-of-the-Year points leader, Demetrios Drellos, was seventh to also maintain third in Tour points.

 

Kyle Hardy, who had won his last three Tour starts, was eighth for his 13th top 10 finish in 14 starts. South Carolina invader, Dillon Brown, made his 2025 RUSH debut and went 20th to 9th to earn the $50 Precise Racing Products Hard Charger gift card. National Sprint Car Hall of Famer, Tim Shaffer, completed the top 10 in just his second Late Model start of 2025 and first in a Tour event. Shaffer was the 2023 “Bill Hendren Memorial” Night 1 winner. Kassidy Kamicker, who is second in points at Pittsburgh, finished 16th and received a spoiler kit from Ontime Body & Graphic.  

 

3C Graphix rookie racer, Bill Holmes III, ended the night in Landrum Performance Springs Victory Lane by capturing his first career D&V Jewelers Non-Qualifier win. In just his second ever appearance at “Dirt’s Monster Half-Mile”, Holmes led all 10 laps to capture the $300 victory aboard his Bill Holmes Excavating/Geiter Done Demolition/BDK Construction/Outlaw Heavy/Hurtubise-sponsored #8. The 45-year-old East Concord, NY driver became the amazing 87th different winner in 109 races run all-time! Logan Zarin, who won the July 26 Non-Qualifier at PPMS, made a three-wide move on a restart on lap two and went on to finish second. Jake Gunn was third. Jackson Billyk was fourth in his first ever Tour start. Canadian Steve Baldwin rounded out the first five.

 

Blair set fast time overall against the 46-car field in $100 FK Rod Ends “Shock the Clock” Qualifying for the third time in five tries this season with a lap of 18.839. Winning the $25 FK Rod Ends heat races were Blair, Drellos, Shaffer, Ferguson, Burgoon, and Zeigler. The three last chance B mains were captured by Zach Gunn, Ben Easler, and Brown. Ferguson became the 12th different Sunoco Dash winner in 16 races this season. The win was worth $200 from Stan’s Transmission in memory of Bob Bentz along with a $100 Sunoco fuel card. 

 

Also winning $100 Sunoco fuel cards in the random drawings were Tour drivers Hardy and Mike Wonderling, while the $50 fuel cards went to Ferguson, Jacob Billyk, Baldwin, and Payton Dalton. In total, Ferguson took home $4,225 plus $150 in Sunoco fuel cards! Mike Wonderling also added a $50 Holley Performance gift card for being the first feature non-qualifier.

 

Landrum Performance Springs, which will award the $5,000 Loyalty Bonus to an eligible Flynn’s Tire/Gunter’s Honey Touring Series regular at the season ending event, distributed BOGO certificates on Friday night, which were captured by Zach Gunn, Marino Angelicchio, Brodie Oravetz, Jeremy Wonderling, and Tommy Schnirnhofer, Jr.

 

The Flynn’s Tire/Gunter's Honey Touring Series will return to Pittsburgh PA Motor Speedway on Saturday night (October 4) for night 2 of the “Bill Hendren Memorial” in a complete program for $10,000 to-win along with a $400 to-win D&V Jewelers Non-Qualifier. The event is presented by FK Rod Ends and City Chevrolet along with support from Pro Fab Headers, West Mifflin Collision, Hendren Racing Engines, CrateInisder.com, and Branden Lockwich.

JEREMY WONDERLING SWEEPS THE NIGHT AT BRADFORD FOR $5200 IN HOVIS RUSH LATE MODELS AS HIS MILESTONE 30TH CAREER FLYNN'S TIRE/GUNTER'S HONEY TOURING SERIES VICTORY COMES IN "MIKE REED MEMORIAL"

By Mike Leone


 

September 28, 2025 - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(Bradford, PA)...After more than a two-year absence, the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply RUSH Dirt Late Model Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Touring Series returned to the quarter-mile Bradford Speedway bulling on Sunday evening to complete the "Mike Reed Memorial". The event was initially started on July 13, but rain washed out the feature as the cars were set to take the green flag. The feature was rescheduled for August 17, but Mother Nature once again claimed that event. Race #15 of the 2025 season was finally completed on a beautiful, warm Sunday evening along with a complete new City Chevrolet Weekly Series program.


 

Jeremy Wonderling swept the program for the RUSH Late Models earning more than $5,200! Wonderling opened the night winning the $4,000 "Mike Reed Memorial" make-up feature for his milestone 30th career Flynn's Tire Gunter's Honey Touring Series victory then followed it up by winning the $1,200 City Chevrolet Weekly Series nightcap. Victories number eight and nine on the season keeps Wonderling atop both the Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Touring Series and City Chevrolet National Weekly Series standings, which would mean a record $25,000 yearend payoff!


 

"Tonight means a lot for the points even though I try not to think about it too much as it is what it is," explained the 45-year-old Wellsville, NY driver. "The Mike Reed race always means a lot to me. When I was growing up he raced with my dad so I've known Cheryl and everyone in their family for a long time. It's always a big one on the list when we come here and being a Tour race is a big deal."


 

Jake Wilber and Austin Hauser led the field to green for the 30-lap feature with Hauser using the outside to power into the early lead. Wonderling pressured Wilber before making the outside pass on Bradford's track champion on lap five. Following a caution for Dusty Waters, Wilber snuck back by Wonderling for second when green replaced yellow on lap eight. A pair of cautions with eight laps scored were the last stoppages of the event as the final 22 laps went green-to-checkered.


 

When racing resumed on lap nine, Wonderling overtook Wilber for the second spot for good. Wonderling went after Hauser and the two battled hard racing side-by-side trading the high and low lines as Hauser maintained the lead. After pressuring Hauser for nine laps, Wonderling finally was able to clear Hauser in turns three and four with the winning move coming on the 19th circuit.


 

As the laps ticked nary a caution, Wonderling pulled away from the pack by lap 22; meanwhile, Hauser had his hands full with Wilber and Mike Wonderling. Bryce Davis, who won the first ever RUSH Tour event at Bradford in 2017, joined the battle on lap 25 making it a four-car race for the runner-up spot. Wonderling continued to pull away as the laps clicked off and when he took the checkered flag he had a huge margin of 5.356 seconds. 


 

"It's really hard the way the race track is," stated Wonderling. "The guy in the lead is blocking and doing everything he can going top-to-bottom; only thing you can do is get a run to pull alongside and muscle on by. It's happened to me a million times and I'm sure it'll happen to everyone else." 


 

Wonderling has now reached the Landrum Performance Springs Victory Lane with the Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Touring Series four times in 2025, which have all come in the last nine events aboard his Close Racing Supply/Cummings Trucking/Shuttleworth Auto Sales/955 Automotive/Penske Shocks by JDS/Swift Springs-sponsored #3J. Wonderling now trails the Tour's all-time winner, Max Blair, by just five victories.  


 

After leading the first 18 laps, Hauser held on for second to earn $2,000 for his career best Tour finish, which eclipsed his first career podium finish in third on May 25 at Tri-City Raceway Park.  "I tried everything I could and probably a little more than I wanted to," acknowledged the 28-year-old Grand Island, NY driver.  "Jeremy (Wonderling) owns this place. I apologize to Jake (Wilber) and Terry (Suppa/car owner). I got into him off (turn) two- I didn't hear him. It's good since we blew an engine. This helps for points and will help pay for the rebuild and keep us going down the road." 


 

Wilber also turned in his career best Tour finish in third for $1,000 beating out his prior best fourth from July 20, 2024 at Stateline Speedway in the "Bill Law Memorial". All three podium teams received a three-pack of premium Heritage Wine Cellars product. "This is by the far the best I've run with these guys so I can't complain," expressed the 25-year-old Hinsdale, NY racer. "There were a couple times when Hauser and Wonderling were going at it, I was thinking that this may go in my favor, but it didn't." 


 

Sixth starting Davis passed Mike Wonderling on the last lap for fourth. Mike Wonderling was fifth for his best Tour finish since August 7, 2024 at Woodhull Raceway. 3C Graphix rookie-of-the-year candidate, Zack Carley, was sixth after starting eighth for his ninth top 10 of the season. Austin Allen was seventh. Pennsylvania's Daryl Charlier was the first non-New York resident in eighth, and also received a spoiler kit from Ontime Body & Graphic. Jason Knowles was ninth as Tour rookie Bill Holmes III rounded out the top 10 for his fourth top 10 of the season. Jacob Tubbs gained five positions to finish 12th and received a $50 Precise Racing Products gift card for being the "Pedal Down" Hard Charger.


 

Hauser set fast time in FK Rod Ends "Shock the Clock" Qualifying back on July 13 with a lap of 16.444 to earn $100. Winning the $25 FK Rod Ends heat races were Hauser, Jeremy Wonderling, and Bryce Davis. Wilber won his first career Sunoco Dash and earned a $100 Sunoco fuel card. Winning the $100 Sunoco Fuel cards part of the "Fill'er up with Sunoco Bucks presented by Bazell Race Fuels were Hauser and Mike Wonderling, while the $50 fuels cards went to Davis, Ian Travis, Brady Wonderling, and John Waters.

 

Landrum Performance Springs, which will award the $5,000 Loyalty Bonus to an eligible Flynn’s Tire/Gunter’s Honey Touring Series regular at the season ending event, distributed BOGO certificates on Sunday night, which were captured by Carley, Jason Dobson, Knowles, Demetrios Drellos, and Jeremy Wonderling.

 

The Flynn’s Tire/Gunter's Honey Touring Series will return to action this Friday and Saturday (October 3-4) at Pittsburgh PA Motor Speedway in Imperial, Pa. for the "Bill Hendren Memorial" part of the "Pittsburgher" with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series. Friday night will pay $4,000 to-win with a $300 to-win D&V Jewelers Non-Qualifier, while Saturday will pay $10,000 to-win with a $400 to-win D&V Jewelers Non-Qualifier. Warmups begin at 6 p.m. each night.

In 2005, Bill Hendren, the patriarch of the Hendren family and founder of Hendren Racing Engines, had the foresight to begin building his affiliation with crate racing. As many of his open engine customers looked to crate racing as an opportunity to continue racing Bill began offering free advice via the well know 4M.net message board. As the concept grew throughout the country, his generosity and expertise were rewarded as many of those who had utilized his knowledge in the beginning utilized him as their engine rebuilder as their needs arose.  Bill passed away on March 19, 2011, but his legacy and dedication to crate racing lives on through his sons, Steve and Mike, as the Hendrens are recognized throughout the entire country as a leader in this specialized form of racing as they continue to operate Hendren Racing Engines. 

 

"I'll never forget the day many years ago when I received a surprise phone call from Steve Hendren expressing interest in having a memorial event for his late father Bill in conjunction with a RUSH Touring event," explained Emig. "Although I never knew Bill personally, I certainly was well aware of his pioneering spirit and great success in the world of Chevrolet Performance crate engine racing. And to have the Hendren Family allow us to hold their patriarch's only memorial event of the year under the RUSH banner for the 13th straight year is truly an honor! What Steve and his family continue to do for this event is tremendous! We have to thank all of the contributors as well as Blair Cress, Jr. for allowing this event to be part of the 'Pittsburgher' weekend."

 

Steve Hendren, who will be making the trip up to Pittsburgh from Rutherfordton, NC, was inducted into the Antioch (CA) Speedway Hall of Fame shortly after the 2021 event.  Hendren raced at the track weekly in the Late Model division from 1990-1993 winning 40 races and was the 1992 and 1993 champion.  In 1992, Hendren won 25 features in 44 starts with 15 of them coming at Antioch, which propelled him to the NASCAR Pacific Coast Regional Championship.

 

FK Rod Ends "Shock the Clock" Qualifying will be held each night with the fastest qualifier earning $100 followed up the $25 to-win FK Rod Ends heat races.  The "Fill'er up with Sunoco Bucks" program 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 Tour points and another four $50 random draws for all other competitors each night.
