(Sarver, PA)...The Hovis Auto & Truck Supply RUSH Sprint Car Series presented by Born2Run Lubricants held the fifth annual "Manufacturers Night" presented by MSD Performance on August 12 at Lernerville Speedway once again part of the "Sprint Spectacular". A record $14,500 of product giveaways were shared amongst the record 28 cars from four different states! The Equipment Rental Options Weekly Series event was streamed live by Lernerville TV with RUSH announcer Brian Spaid calling the action.

Three-time Series Champion, Chad Ruhlman, put a slider on John Mollick on lap 14 & drove away for his first Lernerville win of the season and fifth overall. After passing Arnie Kent to win his heat race, Tyler Newhart turned in an excellent run with a career best second. Mollick, who won the last event at Lernerville on July 22, came back for third after sliding off the track. Kent was fourth. A.J. MacQuarrie went 12th to fifth.

Peluso Roofing sponsored the "Sprint Spectacular" and added a $125 bonus to the fifth and 10th place finishers in the RUSH feature, which were MacQuarrie and Brandon Blackshear. Blaze Myers, who has two wins this season, will go down in history as the winner of the first ever RUSH Sprint Car B main.

Rookie racer Zack Wilson was the lucky recipient of the grand prize of a 4150HP 750 CFM Methanol Carburetor and vent tube roll over valves from Holley Performance valued at $953! Gale Ruth, Jr., who leads the way with seven victories in 2022, won the second most valuable prize of TBM Brake calipers and brake fluid valued at $845. Ruth also won a $250 gift certificate for chassis repairs from new contributor Bailey Racing Fabrication owned by former "410" Sprint Car racer Bill Bailey.

Andy Priest, who pilots Ted Hull's #41, won multiple packages valued at $950, which included a complete set of 4130 black FK Rod Ends, two Bilstein Shocks, and a $100 gift certificate from King Racing Products. Another driver winning multiple packages was the improving Ricky Tucker, Jr. Tucker won a complete GM distributor package from new contributor Rohrich Automotive along with a drum of methanol from Bazell oil, two fuel jugs from Precise Racing Products, and a $100 King Racing Products certificate for a total of $935.

"We have to thank the 27 product contributors that helped to make this year's Manufacturers Night for the Sprint Cars the richest to date," stated RUSH Director Vicki Emig. "It was also tremendous to see a record car count of 28 turn out to support this night beating the prior record of 25 set last month at Lernerville.
