The RUSH Pro Mods will permit the Econo Mods that currently race at several tracks throughout the region to compete in the division for one year. The complete rules package is now available online at www.rushpromods.com.A $10,625 Weekly Series point fund had been initially been posted, but throughout the holidays, Series Directors were able to secure additional funding that will boost the RUSH Pro Mod Point Funds to over $15,625 plus numerous product contingency giveaways throughout the season. The Weekly point fund will mirror and be formatted similar to RUSH's other classes. The Sweeney RUSH Pro Mod Weekly Series Championship program will now award $15,050 with $3,500 to-win paying down to $300 for 20th for member drivers, along with a $600 "Futures Cup" program.

In addition, an inaugural RUSH Pro Mod "Manufacturers Night" will be held at Stateline Speedway on Saturday, July 30 with product contingency giveaways awarded to crate engine competitors in addition to an increased payoff 25-lap feature event. “The Scott Family and ourselves are very confident that the RUSH Pro Mods will flourish and grow into the future, not only at Stateline but throughout the region” stated RUSH Director Vicki Emig. “Every RUSH class that now exists had a beginning, but the Pro Mods have a huge advantage over the others due to the strong relationships that we have developed over the years with not only our sanctioned promoters, but with our corporate sponsors, network of exceptional rebuilders, and strong tech department all of which are waiting in the wings to also make the RUSH Pro Mods a success.” Sweeney RUSH Pro Mod Weekly Series Point Fund ($15,050): 1. $3,500 2. $2,000 3. $1,200 4. $1,000 5. $900 6. $800 7. $700 8. $600 9. $500 10. $400 11. $390 12. $380 13. $370 14. $360 15. $350 16. $340 17. $330 18. $320 19. $310 20. $300. The Weekly Series Championship is based on drivers best 12 feature points finishes throughout the 2016 season at all RUSH Pro Mod-sanctioned events. Feature events pay 100 points to win and drop two points down to sixth place followed by a one-point drop for all remaining positions down to a minimum of 71 points. Non-qualifiers or non-feature starters receive 70 points. In addition, a car count bonus is added to the feature points for the number of cars signed in up to a maximum of 12. Thus if there are 12 or more cars on hand, the feature winner receives 112 points; anything less would be the number of cars signed in plus the feature points. In the event of a tie for the championship, best number of top point scores break the tie. All other ties for positions remain a tie with drivers splitting point fund monies. “Futures Cup” ($600): 1. $300 2. $200 3. $100. The “Futures Cup” point system mirrors the Weekly Series with a possible stand-alone event added to the “best 12 point total”.

Those 18 & 19 cannot have more than one prior season of E-Mod, Econo Mod or Crate Late Model experience (8 or more events = 1 season). No headlining division experience permitted. Those under 16 should verify eligibility to race at each individual track.

"The Scott Family contacted us this fall about putting together a crate engine program for the E-Mods at Stateline," explained Series Director Vicki Emig. “We think Stateline is a great place to grow this division, just as Sharon and Lernerville originally were with our Sportsman Modifieds, as there has always been a large bed of E-Mod racers throughout that immediate region. Over the years we've had E-Mod racers approach us about starting a series for them, and with the solid foundation under our other divisions as well as with Stateline, the timing is right.” “The interest has been very high even before this official announcement,” continued Emig. “We’re really looking forward to bringing all of the important elements of the RUSH Racing Series to the Pro Mod division. We believe the RUSH technical program, championship programs, and promotional opportunities will also help this class prosper and grow into the future just as we have seen with our other divisions."
