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.
