July 21, 2024 | by Marc Hoegerl

Busti, NY (July 20, 2024) By Marc Hoegerl: 156 mounts in 7 different divisions would fill the pits at The New Stateline Speedway for the annual Bill Law Memorial RUSH Crate Late Model Series event, on pleasant mid summer evening

Youngster Brock Pinkerous would hold off the fierce challenges of Bryce Davis to bring home the loot in Stateline’s 30 lap Bill Law Memorial RUSH Crate Late Model Series touring event. This would be Pinkerous’s 2nd career victory at Stateline, as he pocketed a cool $3,000 for his winnings in the annual showcase. Davis would have to settle for 2nd, Greenwood, NY’s Austin Allen was 3rd, Stateline’s local hot shoe Jacob Wilber was 4th, as previous Bill Law winner Jeremy Wonderling rounded out the top 5.

Stateline regular David Parker would claim the Non-Qualifier Feature.

Crawford County, PA native Darrell Bossard would keep just enough distance between himself, and regional extraordinaire Dave Hess Jr. to claim his 2nd Stateline Super Late Model triumph of 24’ Bossard would hit his marks throughout on the slick motorplex surface, etching career win #12 in the Stateline record books. Hess Jr. would take home the bridesmaid spot, as Ryan Scott, Doug Eck, and Greg Oakes would complete the top 5.

Veteran Troy Johnson, coming off a big win at Lernerville Speedway last week, would show total dominance in the 20 lap UMP Modified a-main. Johnson would use his outside pole position to his advantage and never look back, picking up his 7th career feature victory in the class at Stateline. Butch Southwell in his best run as of late was 2nd, Wilcox, PA’s Tim Peterson with an impressive run finished 3rd, CJ Ramsey was 4th, and Jason Brightman in his sharp looking #16 rounded out the top 5.

Grandmaster wheelman Al Brewer, who is no stranger to victory lane, would show no mercy holding off the menacing challenges of point’s leader Zain Harvey to nab his 1st Stateline Speedway RUSH Pro Mod feature victory of the season. The persistent Bradford, PA native Harvey would finish 2nd, Vaughn Nystrom in another fine outing would claim 3rd, Nick Arnold would hold his own finishing 4th, and Jamestown’s Cody Rickard would complete the events top 5.

The Pro Stock feature would end up being a real barn burner that would witness 4 different lead changes amongst 4 different racers in the 15 lapper. But, once the smoke cleared it would be John Boardman’s #777 parked in victory lane. This would be Boardman’s 1st trip back to victory circle since June 12, 2022. Previous feature winner Jason Black who led laps 7-10 would settle for 2nd, Chris Withers was 3rd, Tanner Ramsey 4th, and early race leader Joe Stajnrajh round out the fields top 5.

Fredonia, NY’s Dan Bittinger would muscle his way around leader Domingo Echevarria on lap 4, going the remaining distance unscathed to pick up his 2nd Stateline Challenger feature conquest of 2024, in the 12 lap nightcap. Previous outing winner John Mease was 2nd, veteran Holden Heineman with another podium finish, finished 3rd, as Noah Zimmerman, and Cole Susice would complete the top 5.

It was all Ryan Card in his Mark Richards Rocket House Car appearing replica, in the Sharp Mini Late Models main event. This would be Card’s 2nd win of the season at Stateline. Following the Spring Creek, PA throttle jockey across the line would be Rick Isadore, Terry Mealy, Rob Eaton, and Chris Whyte, as your top 5 finishers.
