FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Pulaski, PA)...The
Sweeney Chevrolet Buick GMC RUSH Racing Series powered by Pace Performance is
thrilled to announce that Dirt Defender will be the "Official Wheel Cover" of
the Series in 2018. Dirt Defender
will provide wheel covers to the "Defensive Drive" recipient at every Touring
Series event for both the Sweeney Late
Models and Bicknell Racing Products Sportsman Modifieds.
In addition, packages will be awarded throughout the Series'
"Manufacturers Nights" presented by MSD Performance for all of the dirt
divisions. The program will be supported
by Close Racing Supply (Eldred, Pa.) and Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic
Maryland/Precise Racing Products (Sarver, Pa.) where racers will be able to
redeem their Dirt Defender Product certificates.
Dirt
Defender is a revolutionary company that manufactures numerous new age racing
products. Dirt Defender, "We Got
You Covered", is currently manufacturing wheel covers for dirt track racing.
Their wheel covers fit Aero, Bassett,
Real, Circle, and more. Dirt Defender's
wheel ring allows you to use their cover on your bead- lock or non-bead lock
wheels.
Dirt Defender is located in Red Oak, TX and owned by Billy Vest.

The Dirt Defender "Defensive Drive" will give away a contingency package of Dirt
Defender products to the driver that best defended his position throughout the
night chosen by RUSH Officials at each Sweeney RUSH Late Model and Bicknell RUSH
Sportsman Modified Touring event throughout the 2018 season.
The award could go to a driver holding off another for the final heat
race or B main transfer position, a driver denying a hard charging racer a
feature win, a move to stay on the lead lap before a caution, or any such
deserving move.
"I'm really looking forward to partnering with the RUSH Racing Series," stated
Vest. "Dirt Defender products can
be utilized across the board in all of RUSH's dirt divisions, which provides us
with a very unique opportunity to market our products to hundreds of different
racers throughout their region.
It's going to be exciting to see who captures our 'Defensive Drive' award at
each RUSH Touring event as there are numerous different scenarios that could
happen to allow the drivers to receive the Dirt Defender packages!"
The Dirt Defender "Defensive Drive" award will debut when the 2018 Sweeney RUSH
Late Model Touring Series begins on Wednesday, April 18 at Delaware
International Speedway in Delmar, DE, which kicks off the four-night "Battle of
the Bay" Speedweek that continues on to Georgetown, Potomac, and Winchester
Speedways the following three days.
The first Dirt Defender "Defensive Drive" for the RUSH Sportsman Modifieds will
be awarded at the 2018 Bicknell Touring Series opener on Sunday, May 13 at
Tri-City Raceway Park in Franklin, Pa.
The remaining packages will be awarded as new giveaways for the 2018
"Manufacturers Nights" presented by MSD Performance.
The two RUSH Late Model nights will be on July 19 at Genesee Speedway and
August 19 at Tri-City; the RUSH Sportsman Modifieds will be June 23 at Sharon
Speedway; the RUSH Sprint Cars will be on August 31 at Lernerville Speedway; the
RUSH Pro Mods will be on July 28 at Stateline Speedway; and the RUSH Pro Stocks
on October 13 at Lernerville.
"Dirt Defender definitely fits the phrase 'Often Imitated, Never Duplicated',"
stated RUSH Series Director Vicki Emig.
"I recently spoke to Joel Smith of Close Racing Supply and Brett Neupert
of Precise Racing Products and about Dirt Defender coming on board with RUSH,
and both had very positive comments."
"Great company with a great product," expressed Neupert.
"We sell Billy Vest's (owner of Dirt
Defender) products throughout all
of our locations and have never had a single issue with their quality or
performance."
Smith reiterated, "From my perspective, I want to handle products that racers
want. Dirt Defenders is an excellent
product that Billy has done a tremendous job promoting and marketing.
His product fits the criteria that both myself and my customers are
looking for in a product so it's a win win for all concerned."
