(Middlebourne, WV)…After a successful fourth annual “RUSH Summer Showcase” at Lernerville Speedway on Friday night, the Hovis Auto & Truck Supply RUSH Dirt Late Models Series presented by Born2Run Lubricants headed south to West Virginia for the first of two appearances by the Flynn’s Tire Touring Series in 2023 at Tyler County Speedway. Drivers from five different states plus Ontario, Canada were on hand at “America’s Baddest Bullring” for race #14 of the 2023 season as a total of 44 different drivers competed in the two-night swing.
Jeremy Wonderling ended the 2022 season winning four of the last five Flynn’s Tire Series events including a victory in the first ever race at Tyler County Speedway to make a late season push at his fourth championship. After getting shutout during the four-race 3C Graphix “Battle of the Bay” Speedweek top open the 2023 season, Wonderling has been red hot since the Series resumed in mid-May. One night after making a late race pass to win at Lernerville, Wonderling led all 30 laps on Saturday night with an impressive drive through lapped traffic for a $6,000+ weekend sweep as he’s now two-for-two at Tyler County. Wonderling has now won 7 of the last 10 Tour events to take a commanding lead in the $15,000 championship chase!
