(Swedesboro, NJ)…With periodic rain showers forecasted throughout the entire weekend in addition to high temperatures only in the 50s on Saturday, the $10,000 to-win Hovis Auto & Truck Supply RUSH Dirt Late Model Flynn’s Tire/Gunter’s Honey Touring Series event presented by Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic and Insinger Performance scheduled for Bridgeport Motorsports Park April 4-5 with a rain date of April 6 has been cancelled.
“It’s unfortunate the weather wasn’t in our favor,” stated RUSH Director Vicki Emig. “We were really looking forward to having the showplace that Bridgeport is host the first ever RUSH-sanctioned event in New Jersey, and kickoff our Touring Series season in the biggest way possible. After averaging 40 cars per event in 2024, we were expecting a tremendous high turnout of cars from all over the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Mid-Ohio Valley, but Mother Nature had other ideas. With rain in the forecast every day this weekend and not ideal weather on Saturday with the chilly temps along with the travel that most teams were facing, we fully support Bridgeport promoter Doug Rose’s decision to cancel the event today.”
We did consider racing without the Late Models, but temps are just to cold for racing. High of 50 at race time and damp air, we felt it was best to stay home and drink some delicious hot chocolate
