In addition, Rustler has been named the "Official Trailers Sales" of the entire RUSH Racing Series. Rustler Sales & Service is located in Shippenville, Pa. and is owned by former "410" Sprint Car racer and Knox Raceway owner, Brian Steinman.
The 2026 Hovis RUSH Sprint Car Rustler Sales & Service Weekly Series Championship will see the top 20 drivers in points share over $20,000 with $5,000 going to the champion. The RUSH Sprint Car Series is set to embark on what will be its most impressive season in its nine-year Series history. Nearly 50 events are scheduled throughout western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio, and western New York including Tri-City Raceway Park, Sharon Speedway, Michaels Mercer Raceway Park, Pittsburgh PA Motor Speedway, Lernerville Speedway, Stateline Speedway, and Raceway 7.
The Series will be showcased in conjunction with some of the region's premier "410" Sprint Car events including a two-night wingless sprint car extravaganza with the USAC National Sprint Cars at Lernerville Speedway, with the World of Outlaws Sprint Cars at Sharon Speedway, the All Star Circuit of Champions Sprint Cars at both Stateline Speedway and Michaels Mercer Raceway Park as well as the FAST on Dirt Sprints at Pittsburgh PA Motor Speedway and Tri-City Raceway Park. Many of these events will be streamed live on DIRTVision, FloRacing, The Cushion, and Dirt.tv.
In addition to the Rustler Sales & Service Weekly Series Championship, the Russ King Racing Futures Cup will return for eligible teenage racers and new in 2026 is the "Kenny's Cash" program, which will award $100 to a lucky driver at each event. Then at the season ending event, a $1,000 drawing will be held for drivers that compete in 75% or more of the completed events. The program is being put on by Arnie Kent in memory of his father, Kenny, who passed away on October 27, 2025, and has the potential to influx an additional $5,000 into the RUSH Sprint Car Series.
"It's always exciting to bring on a new marketing partner," stated RUSH Director Vicki Emig.
