(Georgetown, DE)...For the first time in more than three years, the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply RUSH Dirt Late Model Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Touring Series will return to Georgetown Speedway. The Sussex County, Delaware facility will host a Late Model doubleheader with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series part of the "Melvin L. Joseph Memorial" on Friday, April 24! The event will pay $5,000 to-win and will be streamed live on FloRacing. This will kick-off a doubleheader weekend for the RUSH Late Model Tour in the Mid-Atlantic region as Winchester (VA) Speedway will also pay $5,000 to-win the following night (April 25).
“We are extremely excited to welcome the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply RUSH Dirt Late Model Flynn’s Tire/Gunter’s Honey Touring Series back for the first time in over three years," expressed Georgetown General Manager Chad Cathell. This event creates a tremendous opportunity to showcase our RUSH Late Model drivers on a prominent stage alongside the world-renowned Lucas Oil Late Model Series. It will truly be a marquee night for competitors and fans alike, and it represents another important step in continuing to strengthen the relationship between the RUSH Series and Georgetown Speedway.”
The Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Touring Series has made four appearances all-time to Georgetown with the last visit occurring on April 13, 2023 when Max Blair was victorious. Blair also won in 2019, while other winners were Ross Robinson in 2018 and Kyle Hardy scored the win during his 2021 championship season.
Georgetown returned as a RUSH Late Model City Chevrolet Weekly Series track in 2025. Nick Davis captured the $1,000 City Chevrolet Track Pack thanks to four victories. Trevor Collins and Matt Hill each won a pair of features, while Joey Warren was also victorious. Georgetown will continue as a Weekly Series track in 2026 with its 1st State Chevrolet RUSH Late Models, while their Blue Hen Dispose-All 602 Sportsman Modifieds will be under the RUSH Racing Series Engine Sealing System program.
"It's exciting to return to Georgetown and coupled with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series," expressed RUSH Director Vicki Emig. "We have to thank track owner Ken Adams for giving us the opportunity to compete alongside Lucas Oil. Ken has also stepped up to pay the $5,000 to-win purse, which will be the richest for Chevrolet Performance Late Models in the track's history. We also have to thank Greg Gunter of Winchester Speedway for moving his event a week earlier to give racers the ability to race for $5,000 to-win on back-to-back nights in the Mid-Atlantic."
As the 2026 Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Touring Series schedule nears completion, the Series is proud to add Georgetown back to its slate of events. The RUSH Tour will also join up with the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series once again at the "Firecracker 100" weekend at Lernerville Speedway (June 25-27) and the "Pittsburgher 100" weekend at Pittsburgh PA Motor Speedway (October 2-3) for a total of four events during the 2026 season. Drivers will again compete for the $20,000 to-win championship amongst a points fund of more than $76,000! The Series will compete throughout the season at many of the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest's premier speedways with the complete schedule of events released soon.
