With the sale of Stateline Speedway recently taking place from the Scott and Turner families to Bill and Lisa Catania, the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply RUSH Racing Series presented by Born2Run Lubricants is thrilled to announce that the RUSH Late Model Series and RUSH Pro Mod Series will return for Weekly Series action in 2025. In addition, the RUSH Stock Car Series have been added to Stateline's weekly Saturday night program!

With the recent announcement of Tri City Raceway Park adding the RUSH Stock Cars to their new Friday night program, teams will now have a three-night circuit in the area! Eriez Speedway will continue to run the RUSH Stock Cars for the fifth straight year on Sunday nights.

Drivers have the ability to join RUSH to be part of the $7,500 Stock Car Weekly Series points fund that pays the top 15 members with $2,000 to the champion. Eligible teenage member racers can compete for the 3C Graphix Futures Chip Championship.

Member drivers also receive $100,000 in excess participant accident insurance.

"First and foremost we can't thank the Scotts and Turners enough for their commitment to RUSH over the past 10 years," saidRUSH Director Vicki Emig. "Their car counts have been tremendous in our RUSH Late Models, both Weekly and Touring, and have been the foundation for our RUSH Pro Mod division.

"We're thrilled the Catanias are going to continue where the Scotts and Turners left off with those two divisions, and I was elated when Bill told me Stateline will be running our RUSH Stocks weekly in 2025. All good things come to those that wait and this announcement should really catapult the division's growth with three weekly tracks at these three tremendous facilities, all within 50 miles of each other."

“The only gap I feel we have in the weekly racing line-up is the lack of a true entry-level stock car class at Stateline Speedway,” said Stateline Speedway owner Bill Catania. “The RUSH Stock Cars offer an affordable rear-wheel drive option that currently doesn’t exist in our weekly line-up. Eriez made a commitment to the RUSH Stock Cars, stuck with it, and built a great following, and with Tri City recently announcing the addition of the class, timing is good to double down and show a commitment to the class and give local teams a place to compete on Saturday nights.

"The Pro Stock class will continue to operate under the existing rules package. The RUSH Late Models and Pro Mods put on a great show and we’re thrilled to continue the partnership with RUSH; Vicki has built a outstanding product and we’re thrilled to offer it to our fans.”



Stateline has annually led the way in car counts for RUSH Late Model weekly-sanctioned tracks. In fact, they've averaged an impressive 24 or more cars each year for the past six years. In 2021, an all-time record high car count for Chevrolet Performance Late Models at Stateline was achieved with 43 cars on hand for the Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Touring Series Bill Law Memorial event.

Forty-two cars were on hand for the event in 2023 and once again 43 this past year. The Tour will return to Stateline on May 10, 2025.

Jason Genco has won Stateline's $1,000 City Chevrolet Track Pack Championship for the RUSH Late Model division each of the last three years. The top six drivers in RUSH member points at Stateline will once again share $2,500 in 2025 for the Track Pack. Stateline's RUSH Late Model also have the opportunity to take part in the valuable National Weekly Championship program, as well as the Future's Cup program for teenage drivers.

Stateline has been the home for Saturday night RUSH Pro Mod racing since the division's inception in 2016. Stateline has had the highest weekly car count average for the division annually.

With Stateline continuing to run the RUSH Pro Mods in 2025, racers will be able to compete three nights per week with weekly racing on Fridays at McKean County Raceway and Sundays at Bradford Speedway in addition to expected events at Freedom Motorsports Park and Genesee Speedway.

Stateline Speedway is located nine miles southwest of Jamestown, N.Y., south of Busti, N.Y., at 4150 Kortwright Rd, Jamestown, NY 14701. For more information, check out newstatelinespeedway.com and visit Stateline Speedway on Facebook.
