 O’Neal Claims Second Freedom 60 in Three Years

ZANESVILLE, OH (July 5, 2025) – Hudson O’Neal started sixth. He passed race leader Jonathan Davenport on lap 44 to win the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing, Freedom 60 on Saturday night at Muskingum County Speedway. O’Neal’s third series victory of the season paid $25,000 from a total purse of over $82,000.

 

Davenport crossed the finish line in second, just 0.515 seconds behind O’Neal, but he failed post-race tech when his droop limiter chain was not tight, which moved him to 25th place in the finishing order.

 

Garrett Alberson, who finished third, moved up to second in the final rundown. Brandon Sheppard, the previous night’s winner at Atomic and the leader for the first 8 laps of the 60-lap main event, rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third. 

 

In Lucas Oil Victory Lane for the 32nd time in his career, the 2023 Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series National Champion returned to victory at Muskingum County for the second time. He held off a slider by Davenport in the closing laps to secure the win after Davenport led from laps 9 through 43.

 

“That was the advantage of not being out in the lead like Jonathan was. I was able to kind of drive some lines there, and I found that bottom. At first, whenever I tried, it didn’t quite have the speed to drive all the way to the lead, but as that top slowed down, I got a little better. This car was amazing. Hats off to Jason Durham and my crew; they gave me an outstanding race car, making all the right decisions on tires and everything else things,” said the Martinsville, Indiana native.

 

“I was really good at getting into third place and being able to get out there and come back down the hill. It was awesome; everything played out right tonight. I was able to drive up through there in the heat race, and having a good starting spot in the feature was the main thing for us. I appreciate all of the fans who came out tonight, and the Moran Family and Muskingum for giving us a great race track to race on.”

 

Alberson ran as high as second during the race after a side-by-side battle with Sheppard for several laps.

 

“I had a very small balance issue, but our car was really close, and I am so proud of these guys. We have been working our butts off trying to develop a longer run program. We are really close. I am sure the battles (with Sheppard and O’Neal) hurt us, but Hud was really good; he just kind of worked over that bottom on me and did his job. I am just really happy to be here. I hate it for JD; I don’t know if it was a mechanical failure or what it was. That’s a tough deal, but I guess it happens to all of us at some point.”

 

Sheppard, who earned his first series win of the season 24 hours earlier at Atomic Speedway, stayed in the hunt for most of the race and finished third.

 

“I definitely felt like I was battling with someone for most of the race. I was pretty much the same all the way across the track. I was just a little bit snug. The track was super slick tonight, it was awesome, and I thought it put on a great show for all of these fans. This new car has been phenomenal since we unloaded it.”

 

The winner’s SSI Motorsports, Longhorn Chassis is powered by a Cornett Racing Engine and sponsored by Big River Steel, Wheeler Metals, Merrill Bonding Company, Sub-Surface of Indiana, Professional Concrete, Cutting and Drilling, West Side Tractor Sales, Dyno One Inc., O’Neal’s Salvage and Recycling, Indiana USSSA Fast Pitch Softball, Bob and Tammy Burton, Houchens Insurance Group, Bobcat of Batesville, and Sunoco Race Fuels.

 

Completing the top ten were Nathon Loney, Donald McIntosh, Brandon Overton, Logan Zarin and Carson Ferguson.

Sheppard Secures First Lucas Oil Victory of the Season at Atomic

 

CHILLICOTHE, OH (July 4, 2025) – Brandon Sheppard earned his first Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series win of the season on Friday night, taking the Independence 50 at Atomic Speedway. Sheppard inherited the lead when race leader Carson Ferguson went pit side under a caution after leading the first four laps.

 

Sheppard went on to lead the rest of the way and secure the $25,000 win. It was Sheppard’s 33rd career victory with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series presented by FloRacing, tying him with Josh Richards.

 

Josh Rice, who recovered after an oil leak was discovered before time trials, came from the 17th starting position to finish second. Jonathan Davenport rounded out the Big River Steel Podium in third. Davenport finished 5 points behind points leader Ricky Thornton Jr., who finished 16th after dropping out of the race while running in second.

 

Davenport now leads Thornton by 55 points heading into Saturday’s race at Muskingum County Speedway in Zanesville, Ohio.

 

Daulton Wilson finished in fourth, with Donald McIntosh rounding out the top five drivers.

 

Sheppard’s visit to Lucas Oil Victory Lane is his first since February 8, 2024, at East Bay Raceway Park. “It feels so good. It’s crazy that this was the place where we got our first Lucas Oil win this year. It’s been a long time since I’ve won here. This place has been tough on me lately, but I can’t thank my team enough for busting their tails this week to get this new car ready for us. Honestly, I’ve had the car messed up most of the year because of some stuff I was feeling in Florida, and we made some changes that caused more issues. I found some pretty good speed in my car during the Summer Nationals, so I told Mark what I did, and he said, well, that’s where we should have been at the start of the year.”

 

Rice came home second after rallying from the inside of row nine. “I feel like I won the race about as badly as a comeback could be. It was probably the ugliest podium finish you will ever see from me. Like I said, we broke the oil line, my crew was covered in oil and everything else. We were goofing off and everything else six laps in, and I thought about pulling in. I was like, we got our start money. Then, it seemed like about eight cars broke, and more cars kept blowing up. After that long green flag run, I looked up on the board and saw I was in sixth. Daultin Wilson showed me the top down here in three and four. I was kind of decent, really, and then he showed me all the way around the top. That’s when I really started to make up time.”

 

Davenport, coming off a red-hot month of June, where he won the Dirt Late Model Dream at Eldora Speedway and his first Firecracker 100 at Lernerville Speedway, is positioning himself even better as he seeks his record-tying fourth series title.

 

“It’s something we’ve been searching for all year—getting the points lead. We got close to him (Thornton), but he pulled away again. I hate to take the points lead while he (Thornton) is having bad luck, but we’ve had our fair share of bad luck this year. In March, we spun out against a lapped car running second. Thanks to all of you fans for coming out and spending your Fourth of July with us. We appreciate it. I hope we put on a good show for you.”

 

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, Stiles Marine and Maintenance, Rocket 1 Pre-Owned Motors, Collins Brothers Towing, and Sunoco Race Fuels.

 

Completing the top ten were Hudson O’Neal, Dan Ebert, Daniel Hilsabeck, Mike Marlar, and Clay Harris.

JEREMY WONDERLING CAPTURES 1ST EVER HOVIS RUSH LATE MODEL FLYNN’S TIRE/GUNTER’S HONEY TOUR EVENT AT OHIO VALLEY TO BECOME 5TH DIFFERENT WINNER OF 2025 IN 6 RACES

By Mike Leone


 

July 4, 2025 - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

((Washington, WV)...The Hovis Auto & Truck Supply RUSH Dirt Late Model Series completed the two-race West Virginia swing on Friday night in the first ever appearance by the Flynn’s Tire/Gunter’s Honey Touring Series at Ohio Valley Speedway. Race #6 of the weather-plagued 2025 season was also the second of a trifecta of Dave Poske’s Performance Parts Mid-Ohio Valley Series of events in three nights over the Independence Day holiday weekend.

 

After standout Kyle Thomas defended home turf against four-time Flynn’s Tire/Gunter’s Honey Touring Series Champion Jeremy Wonderling on Thursday night at Tyler County Speedway, Wonderling flipped the script 24 hours later. Wonderling fended off Thomas throughout the 30-lap feature to make history by becoming the first ever Tour winner at Ohio Valley Speedway worth $4,000. With his first win of 2025, Wonderling became the fifth different winner in six races this season to celebrate in the Landrum Performance Springs Victory Lane.

 

“It's good to go anywhere new and pull off a win,” expressed the 45-year-old Wellsville, NY driver. “Kyle (Thomas) races hard and is one of the best down here so it means something. We tried some stuff over the winter that we thought would be better and it was completely wrong. We haven’t been really good all year long and have been mediocre. We changed everything back to what it was at the beginning of last year and the thing was really, really good. The track was a lot of fun. I was sitting there under the red and saw everyone was cleaning the cushion off. Kyle (Thomas) had a run on me once so obviously the top was coming around and I thought ‘oh boy’. An old boy in the pits that’s friends with Jim Stevens told me early in the night the bottom would clean up in (turns) three and four and you could race to the top in (turns) one and two, so that stuck in my head.”

 

Following the Dave Poske’s Performance Parts “Feel the RUSH” Four-Wide Salute, Wonderling and Thomas led the field to green with Wonderling taking the early advantage over Thomas and Ben Easler. Wonderling and Thomas ran side-by-side for the lead on lap three, while they opened up ground on the rest of the field. Thomas was pounding the top, while Wonderling was running the bottom. The two continued to race side-by-side at various points around the track, but Wonderling was able to maintain the lead.

 

Logan Reed went seventh to fourth, but got crossed up and collected Kyle Hardy, Ronnie Mayle, Ryan Hare, and Jason Knowles with nine laps scored. When racing resumed, the battle was on for fourth with Mike Wonderling overtaking Austin Allen, but Easler regained the spot on lap 11. Meanwhile back up front, Wonderling extended his lead on lap 12, while Easler caught Thomas for second.

 

Thomas closed back in on Wonderling on lap 14 running the fence, but it bit him on lap 15 as he made contact allowing Wonderling to gap him. Thomas though wouldn’t go away as he once again cut into Wonderling’s lead on lap 19, but his shot at another $4,000 payday in as many nights evaporated when he got sideways on lap 23. Thomas stayed within striking distance over the final laps, but Wonderling was able to hold on by 0.621 seconds. Wonderling’s 27th career Flynn’s Tire/Gunter’s Honey Touring Series win came in the Close Racing Supply/Cummings Trucking/Shuttleworth Auto Sales/955 Automotive/Penske Shocks by JDS/Swift Springs-sponsored #3J.

 

Thomas earned $2,000 for his runner-up finish. “If you want to be fast here you have to be up there,” explained the 39-year-old Pennsboro, WV racer.  “The driver made a wrong choice. We ran that dash and I told myself I needed to make some changes and obviously made the wrong one, but it’s all on the driver so I can’t blame anyone. We were good and I was catching Jeremy (Wonderling), but was way too tight on the top. I couldn’t go to the bottom because I didn’t have the gear to run there. Congrats to him, he got a first and a second this weekend.”

 

Allen got by Easler on lap 28 to record a season best third worth $1,000 and joined Wonderling and Thomas by receiving a three-pack of premium product from Heritage Wine Cellars. It was Allen’s third top five finish in the first six events for the sophomore Tour racer. “We had a really good car,” acknowledged the 28-year-old Canisteo, NY driver. “I don’t know if we were better than Ben (Easler). I was just hoping he’d make one mistake and he did. I timed it perfect and got around him with two to go. This feels like a win for me. We were up until 3 in the morning last night thrashing on this thing after I cleaned the whole right suspension out of this thing. We got here and were still working on it. It’s just really cool to come here and run good after tearing it up last night and I can’t thank my crew enough. It was cool all the other teams that pitched in and helped me and also made sure I had the right parts. It’s special; racing can bring so many people close like that.”

 

One night after a career best fifth place on the Tour at Tyler County, Easler did one spot better at Ohio Valley in fourth. Easler has already doubled his top 10 finishes from year ago with four in the first six races. Mechanical issues in the Sunoco Dash forced Kyle Hardy to go to a back-up car where he raced from the tail to fifth even after getting caught up in the accident on lap 10. Hardy received the $50 Precise Racing Products “Pedal Down” Hard Charger gift card.

 

After getting as high as fourth, Mike Wonderling slipped back to sixth, but was easily his best Tour finish of 2025 eclipsing his prior best finish of 14th at Lernerville Speedway. 3C Graphix Rookie-of-the-Year candidate Zack Carley was seventh for the second straight night for his fourth top 10 of the season. Daryl Charlier went 13th to 8th as Bud Watson and Andy Michael completed the top 10.

 

Hardy set fast time in FK Rod Ends “Shock the Clock” Qualifying with a 16.722 to earn $100. Picking up $25 FK Rod Ends heat race wins were Jeremy Wonderling and Thomas. Wonderling captured the Sunoco Dash win for a $100 Sunoco fuel card. Also receiving $100 Sunoco fuel cards in the random drawings were Tour racers Hardy and Mike Wonderling, while the $50 fuel cards went to Thomas, Ronnie Mayle, A.J. Spagnuolo, and Blake Runyon.

 

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, which were captured by Greg Carrico, Ryan Hare, Michael, Charlier, and Austin Hauser.

 

The Flynn’s Tire/Gunter's Honey Touring Series will return to action next Sunday (July 13) at Bradford Speedway located in Bradford, Pa. for a $4,000 to-win Platinum event.

KYLE THOMAS DEFENDS HOME TURF AT TYLER COUNTY WITH HIS 1ST CAREER HOVIS RUSH LATE MODEL FLYNN’S TIRE/GUNTER’S HONEY TOUR VICTORY WORTH $4000

By Mike Leone


 

July 3, 2025 - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(Middlebourne, WV)...After five consecutive Flynn’s Tire/Gunter’s Honey Touring Series rainouts at Tyler County Speedway and six straight in the state of West Virginia dating back to the beginning of the 2024 season, the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply RUSH Dirt Late Model Series presented by Born2Run Lubricants finally was graced with sunshine and no threat of rain on Thursday night at “America’s Baddest Bullring”. Race #5 of the weather-plagued 2025 season kicked off a two-race Independence Day holiday swing through the Mountaineer State, and was also the first of a trifecta of Dave Poske’s Performance Parts Mid-Ohio Valley Series of events in three nights.

 

Making his first Flynn’s Tire/Gunter’s Honey Tour start in two years, Kyle Thomas successfully defended his home turf scoring a popular first career RUSH Tour victory in front of a large legion of his fans at Tyler County Speedway. It was a near perfect night for Thomas, as with the exception of winning the Sunoco Dash, he set fast time in FK Rod Ends qualifying, won his heat race and led all 30 laps of the feature event. Thomas becomes the 48th different driver to win a RUSH Tour event in 202 races completed all-time with his $4,000 triumph.

 

“This means a lot to finally get one of these,” expressed the emotional 39-year-old Pennsboro, WV standout. “I won FASTRAK Tour races years ago, but never a RUSH one. I came from like 12th to 2nd at the last one here and Jeremy (Wonderling) and I put on a hell of a show at that one too. Those cautions were a killer with the double-file restarts, but it put on a good show. Jeremy and I got together that one time when I hit that hole on the restart and my apologies to him. I have to thank Tyler County Speedway and RUSH for putting this on, all of my sponsors, Brad at Race-1, and my family.” 

 

Following the Dave Poske’s Performance Parts “Feel the RUSH” Four-Wide Salute, Thomas used the outside to power into the lead past pole-sitter Garret Paugh as Paugh and A.J. Spagnuolo settled into second and third. Austin Allen started fourth and was running fifth when he slowed with a flat tire to bring out the caution with one-lap scored. When racing resumed on lap two, fifth starting Jeremy Wonderling took over third from Spagnuolo. Wonderling then went after Paugh and slipped under the home state racer for second on lap three with Spagnuolo following in third. 

 

Over the ensuing laps, the battle was on for fourth and fifth with a myriad of drivers taking over the positions including Ben Easler, 10th starting George Casto III, Jason Knowles, and Zack Carley. Lapped traffic came into play for the first time of the event on lap 23 as Thomas had built up a lead of 2.422 seconds. A caution for John Johnson, who was making his Flynn’s Tire/Gunter’s Honey Tour debut, set up a five-lap dash to the checkered.

 

When green replaced yellow for the final time, Thomas continued to use the momentum off the topside to maintain the lead, while 11th starting Knowles continued his progression to the front of the pack taking third from Spagnuolo. Wonderling, who won two of the three Flynn’s Tire/Gunter’s Honey Touring Series events contested at Tyler County, had nothing for Thomas on this night as he took the checkered flag first by 1.902 seconds. Thomas became the fourth different Tour winner in five races completed in 2025 aboard the Hyre’s Well & Pump Service/Dodd’s Sporting Goods/Barnes Trucking/Small Town Realty-sponsored #57.

 

Though he continues to search for his first win of 2025, it was another good points night for Wonderling in second worth $2,000 as the Empire State driver is in search of his unprecedented fifth title. “He had a better car than I did and didn’t have to play his games on the restarts like he did,” stated the 45-year-old Wellsville, NY driver.  “From where we started the night off to where we ended it- that’s pretty good. We sucked pretty bad in time trials, but we have some work to do before Ohio Valley tomorrow night and we’ll see what we can do there.”

 

After a career best tying runner-up finish on May 25 at Tri-City Raceway Park from more than 10 years ago at McKean County Raceway, Knowles crossed the finish line in third for $1,000 for his second podium finish of the season and joined Thomas and Wonderling by receiving a Heritage Wine Cellars trio of premium product. “This was a great run,” acknowledged the 43-year-old Addison, NY driver. “I was lucky because under caution my steering was acting funny, but once we got rolling, I was able to get it. This place is a lot of fun. I was only here once before and broke in the heat race so I’m just glad we got to run the whole thing.”

 

West Virginia’s Spagnuolo had an excellent fourth place finish for a career best with the Tour. Pennsylvania’s Ben Easler, who had just two top 10 finishes in his 3C Graphix rookie season, turned in a career best fifth as he’s already exceeded his top 10 finishes from one year ago with three in just the first five races! Easler also received a spoiler kit from Ontime Body & Graphic. Virginia’s Kyle Hardy represented the fourth different state in the top six as he rebounded from his 13th starting spot. Completing the top 10 were Zack Carley, Kolbe Kimbrew, Daryl Charlier, and 18th starting Logan Reed. Jim Cochran earned the $50 Precise Racing Products “Pedal Down” Hard Charger gift card for going 23rd to 13th. 

 

Thomas set fast time overall in FK Rod Ends “Shock the Clock” Qualifying to earn $100 with a lap of 13.637 as all other drivers were more than three tenths of a second slower. Winning the $25 FK Rod Ends heat races were Thomas, Paugh, and Spagnuolo. Paugh received a $100 Sunoco fuel card for winning the Sunoco Dash. Also winning $100 fuel cards in the random drawings were Tour racers Wonderling and Demetrios Drellos, while the $50 fuel cards went to Kimbrew, John Boring, Jim Cochran and Casto.

 

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 Thursday night, which were captured by Ryan Hare, Thomas, Robbie Scott, Allen, and Spagnuolo.

FLYNN'S TIRE/GUNTER'S HONEY TOUR HEADS TO BRADFORD ON SUNDAY FOR RICHEST HOVIS RUSH LATE MODEL EVENT IN TRACK'S HISTORY WITH $4000 ON THE LINE

By Mike Leone


 

July 8, 2025 - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(Bradford, PA)...After a two-race Independence Day holiday weekend in West Virginia, the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply RUSH Late Model Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Touring Series will return to action this Sunday night (July 13) at Bradford Speedway. Race #7 of the weather-plagued season will be the first and only appearance of the season at the 1/4-mile bullring. Warmups will get underway at 5:30 p.m. followed by qualifying and racing. 


 

Bradford Speedway is in its first year of ownership by Rick and Mary Isadore. The RUSH Late Models and RUSH Pro Mods are part of the weekly program in 2025 at Bradford. Jacob Wilber and Austin Allen have scored City Chevrolet Weekly Series wins thus far at Bradford with Wilber’s being the first of his career, while Allen’s was his first at Bradford. 


 

Bradford has hosted just three Flynn’s Tire/Gunter’s Honey Touring Series events all-time with three former champions from the Empire State victorious. Bryce Davis won the first ever event at the track in 2017 under the promotion of Norm Asel. During Dennis Cummings’ five-year stint as a promoter, the Tour appeared in 2022 and 2023 with John Waters and Jeremy Wondering victorious. Will there be a fourth different winner in four events on Sunday!? All three of the prior events paid $3,000 to-win with Sunday’s paying a track high $4,000 to-win!


 

“Bradford’s unique configuration and size always poses a challenge to racers and really equalizes the competition even more so,” stated RUSH Director Vicki Emig. “We have to thank the Isadores for sanctioning weekly racing under RUSH for both the Late Models and Pro Mods. We’re also thrilled they decided to host a Touring Series event in their first year.”


 

Wonderling is fresh off a big weekend in West Virginia where he finished second to Tyler County Speedway standout Kyle Thomas on Thursday then followed it up winning the very first Tour race at Ohio Valley Speedway on Friday for his first victory of the season. Wonderling has jumped out to a 33-point advantage in his search for an unprecedented fifth title, which would be worth a personal best $20,000.


 

The 2021 Flynn’s Tire/Gunter’s Honey Touring Series Champion, Kyle Hardy, has rebounded from a slow start to the season and has climbed to second in points. Second year RUSH racer Ben Easler is coming off a career best weekend with finishes of fifth and fourth to jump into a tie for third in points with new 3C Graphix Rookie-of-the-Year points leader Zack Carley. Second year Tour racer, Austin Allen, is fifth just one-point from a tie in third. RoY candidate Demetrios Drellos is just one-point behind Allen in sixth. Another second year Tour racer, Daryl Charlier, is a close seventh as Jason Knowles, Bud Watson, and Mike Wonderling complete the top 10. While just two points separate third through sixth in points, second through eighth are separated by only 15!       


 

Max Blair is the only repeat winner after six events this season as he swept the Stateline-Eriez weekend in May. Charlier won the Tri-City Raceway Park Memorial Day eve event. Mason Zeigler won the biggest race of his career in the $20,000 “Bill Emig Memorial” presented by Sunoco Race Fuels at Lernerville Speedway on June 21. Thomas and Wonderling won the most recent events in the Mountaineer State.


 

Bradford's race is a Platinum Event designation- the second and final one scheduled in 2025. Platinum Events allow Tour members the opportunity to use them to replace their worst Tour finish or give Tour members that have or will miss a Tour show the opportunity to use the event(s) as a replacement Marquee Event.  


 

The D&V Jewelers Non-Qualifier on Sunday will have an increased purse at $350 to-win due to a 20-car feature starting field (plus provisionals). Tour racers Brad Mesler and Ryan Hare are tied for the points lead in the D&V Jewelers “Wheelman” Bonus Event Challenge Series.


 

$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 in 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 seventh 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. Forty lucky fans each night will receive a bottle of Dusted Steak Seasoning.

 

Feature Payoff: 1. $4,000 2. $2,000 3. $1,000 4. $800 5. $700 6. $600 7. $550 8. $500 9. $475 10. $450 11. $425 12. $400 13. $375 14. $360 15. $350 16. $340 17. $330 18. $320  19. $310  20. $300 (21-22. $300 provisionals, if necessary)

 

D&V Jewelers Non-Qualifier Payoff: 1. $350  2. $325  3. $310  4. $300  5. $250  6. $225  7. $200  8. $175  9. $160  10-24. $150. Tow $125

WEST VIRGINIA HOLIDAY DOUBLEHEADER FOR HOVIS RUSH LATE MODEL FLYNN'S TIRE/GUNTER'S HONEY TOUR WITH TYLER COUNTY THURSDAY & 1ST EVER APPEARANCE AT OHIO VALLEY FRIDAY

By Mike Leone


 

June 30, 2025 - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(Pulaski, PA)...The Hovis Auto & Truck Supply RUSH Dirt Late Model Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Touring Series will head south over the Independence Day holiday for a first ever West Virginia doubleheader.  On Thursday night, the Tour will visit Tyler County Speedway in Middlebourne followed on Friday night by the first ever appearance at Ohio Valley Speedway in Washington.  Each night will also be part of the Dave Poske’s Performance Parts Mid-Ohio Valley Series with $4,000 to-win. 

 

The Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Tour was scheduled to be at Tyler County Speedway on April 12, but that event was rained out; in fact, rain washed out all three scheduled appearances in 2024 by the Touring Series.  The Tour will return to Tyler County on Sunday, August 31 for another $4,000 to-win event part of the track’s “Country Roads” event.

 

Tyler County is in their fourth year under the RUSH banner for its Chevrolet Performance Late Model class, but first with new promoters Doug Doak and Scott Jenkins. Thus far this season track standout Kyle Thomas has won three of the five events with western Pennsylvania racers Braeden Dillinger and Christian Schneider also victorious. Past City Chevrolet "Track Pack" Champions at Tyler County are Donnie Dotson, Brandon Weigle, and Allen Clark. Russ King Racing Futures Cup driver George Casto III currently leads the 2025 points. 

 

The Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Tour has fought Mother Nature just about every time they have been scheduled at Tyler County over the past four years.  Jeremy Wonderling has two victories, while Max Blair has the other victory. 

 

Following Tyler County, the Tour heads 60 miles southwest to Ohio Valley Speedway located just outside of Parkersburg in Washington. Friday will mark the first ever Flynn’s Tire/Gunter’s Honey Tour event at OVS and the richest Chevrolet Performance 604 crate engine event in the history of the track.  Ohio Valley is owned by Rich Michael, Jr., a native of Ischua, New York, whose brother Andy is a veteran RUSH Late Model racer and his nephew Kaden was the 2024 RUSH Stock Car Champion.

 

Ohio Valley has hosted two RUSH Late Model City Chevrolet Weekly Series events this season. Dillinger won the first ever RUSH-sanctioned event at the track on April 18, while Brian Nethers won his first career RUSH event on May 18.

 

Both events, as well as the $2,000 to-win City Chevrolet Weekly Series special on Saturday at Muskingum County Speedway with Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series, are part of the Dave Poske’s Performance Parts Mid-Ohio Valley Championship Series. Nethers currently leads those points by 21 over 2024 Muskingum City Chevrolet Track Pack Champion, Logan Reed. The 2025 MOV Champion will receive $2,000 and with a points fund also paying positions 2-10. There will also be a random drawing for a $1,000 Poske’s gift card for one lucky eligible MOV racer.  

 

 "This will be a great way to celebrate the Independence Day holiday," expressed RUSH Director Vicki Emig.  "We have to thank Tyler County and Ohio Valley for partnering together to give racers two $4,000 to-win events in back-to-back nights once again after unfortunately Mother Nature cancelled both nights in 2024.  Tyler County always provides tremendous racing and Ohio Valley will present a new challenge for the majority of the RUSH racers. We can’t thank Dave Poske’s Performance Parts enough for presenting this new program and helping to boost RUSH racing in the MOV."

 

Four-time Champion, Jeremy Wonderling, leads the Flynn’s Tire/Gunter’s Honey Tour to the Mountaineer State. Wonderling has just a six-point lead on 3C Graphix Rookie-of-the-Year leader, Demetrios Drellos. Austin Allen, who finished runner-up in the 2024 RoY standings, is third. After his fifth place in the “Bill Emig Memorial” presented by Sunoco Race Fuels on June 21 at Lernerville Speedway, 2021 champion, Kyle Hardy, has jumped to fourth in points. Zack Carley, who is second in the RoY standings, is fifth. Completing the top 10 in points are May 25 Tri-City winner Daryl Charlier followed by 2017 champion Bryce Davis, Jason Knowles, Ben Easler, and Dillinger.

  

$100 "Shock the Clock" Qualifying and $25 to-win heat races will take place each night and be presented by FK Rod Ends. The Sunoco Dash will set the beginning rows of the feature lineup each night and will award the winner a $100 Sunoco fuel gift card. The "Fill'er up with Sunoco Bucks" program presented by Bazell Race Fuels will include an additional $400 of Sunoco fuel card giveaways each night; two $100 random draws for drivers in the top 20 of Tour points and another four $50 random draws for all other competitors.
