Image
The Sweeney Chevrolet Buick GMC RUSH Racing Series, powered by Pace Performance, announced it will be expanding its sanction to asphalt racing in 2017 with Pennsylvania's Jennerstown Speedway as the new Series' flagship facility.
Jennerstown, a 1/2-mile asphalt oval, features Late Models, Modifieds, and Street Stocks, which are predominately crate engine powered, along with chargers and the Fast N Furious 4's divisions on Saturday nights.
RUSH currently sanctions Crate Late Models, Sportsman Modifieds, Pro Stocks and most recently Pro/E-Mods at approximately 25 dirt tracks throughout the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Canada.
Jennerstown will be the first track to sanction under the new Sweeney RUSH Asphalt Racing Series banner.
"I cannot tell you how many times over the years I have been approached to bring the RUSH brand and what it stands for to asphalt racing. I'm a strong believer in ‘everything in its time and place’ and feel confident that with our strong teaching and rebuilder programs we are ready to begin this new and exciting chapter of RUSH with Jennerstown Speedway…” stated RUSH Series Director, Vicki Emig.
All GM crate engine competitors that raced at Jennerstown in 2016 season in the Late Model, Street Stock, and Modified division, along with any new racers that may be building or purchasing a crate engine car during the offseason, will be required to have their engines verified for legality before competing at the speedway in 2017. The verification process will begin on November 1, 2016.
RUSH will verify only GM crate engines. Ford competitors should contact Jennerstown Engine Technologies or Ingram Engines to verify their engines; both of which can also assist in the verification of GM crate engines and have been part of the RUSH Rebuilder system for numerous years.
The technical rules packages for the divisions outside of the sealing process/bolts will be very similar to what competitors have been accustomed to in the past, but will now included all of the requirements for engines set forth in the GM Circle Track Crate Engine Technical Manual.
The complete rule packages will be released shortly after the Jennerstown Banquet, which will be held on Friday, November 11 at the Ramada Inn in Greensburg, Pa.
An informational meeting will be open to all interested parties on Saturday, October 29 at 1:00 p.m. at the Jennerstown VFD Social Hall at 1536 Pitt St., Jennerstown, PA 15547.
