When Stateline Speedway changed hands from the Scott and Turner families to Bill and Lisa Catania, it began an intense focus on Stateline’s 2025 event schedule. With that process mostly complete, Stateline Speedway is thrilled to announce their 2025 schedule, an action-packed season that kicks off April 19 with its 69th Opening Night—the first of 24 scheduled event dates showcasing stock cars on the 3/8-mile dirt oval, with over 30 events in total.
In addition to doubling the number of weekly racing events, Stateline will host a total of nine (9) different touring series, highlighted by the All-Star Circuit of Champions Sprint Cars, ULMS Super Late Models, UEMS UMP Modifieds, RUSH Dirt Late Models and BRP Big Block Modifieds. For the first time ever, Stateline will host the Economod Mania Tour and will welcome back the Penn Ohio Pro Stocks. Stateline is proud to announce it has expanded its relationship with the RUSH Racing Series, hosting two RUSH Late Model touring events, two RUSH Sprint Car events and for the first time ever, the RUSH Sportsman Modifieds.
“After Lisa and I announced that we bought the track, we began talking with drivers, series directors, fans, and team owners. There was an overwhelming request to expand the number of events and to bring in some larger races”, stated Stateline owner Bill Catania. “This schedule provides more racing for weekly racers, while showcasing some of the most popular touring series from around the tri-state region at Stateline. We reached beyond stock car racing to bring in more non-racing fans and families with events like Monster Trucks, Freestyle Motocross, ATV Races and even a Haunted Speedway in October”.
The RUSH expansion doesn’t stop with touring divisions as the RUSH Stock Cars will join the weekly racing line-up, providing an entry-level stock car class for Stateline competitors. With the recent announcement of Tri-City Raceway Park adding the RUSH Stock Cars to their new Friday night program, and Eriez running RUSH Stock Cars on Sundays, teams will now have a three-night circuit in the area!
“Stateline Speedway has always been a very strong partner of the RUSH Racing Series,” stated RUSH Director Vicki Emig. “Stateline has annually led the way in car counts for RUSH Late Model weekly-sanctioned tracks with 24 or more cars for the past six years! The Tour events annually attract over 40 cars and we’re looking forward to making two appearances in 2025. Stateline has also been the Saturday home for the RUSH Pro Mods since their inception in 2016. I can’t thank Bill and Lisa enough for adding the RUSH Stock Cars to their lineup in 2025; I think the growth we will now see in this part of our region for the division into the future will be tremendous. Hosting the RUSH Sprints and Sportsman Modifieds is an added bonus, and I know our open wheel racers are really looking forward to their visit!”.
The 2025 season kicks off by showcasing stock cars and karts from Stateline and around the tri-state region at the Chautauqua Mall Car Show, April 4-6. Cars will be on display for fans to admire before they do battle on opening night. Prizes will be awarded to teams for “best in class” and “best in show” honors.
Teams will take to the track for the first time for practice on April 12th from 3PM – 9PM. All classes competing at Stateline on a weekly basis, along with Sharp Mini Late Models, are welcome to attend the practice session.
Opening Night will feature a $5,000 to WIN Super Late Model special and will honor Stateline’s previous owners, the Scott and Turner families, who put their heart and soul into making Stateline successful during their 10-years of track ownership.
The RUSH Late Model Flynn’s Tire/Gunter’s Honey Touring Series will visit Stateline twice in 2025, including the May 10th “Bill Law Memorial”, which saw 43 cars on hand in 2024. The RUSH Late Models will return for their second Flynn’s Tire/Gunter’s Honey Touring Series event on August 9th.
May 24th, Stateline will host “Modified Madness” featuring four (4) classes of Modifieds led by the Woah Nellie UMP Modified Invasion, and featuring for the first time ever on the Busti, NY oval, the Economod Mania Touring Series, the first of two appearances in 2025. Stateline’s weekly RUSH Pro Modifieds will be on track for regular racing, and for the first time in history, the RUSH Sportsman Modifieds will join the line-up!
Speaking of Modifieds, prepare for the ground to rumble as the BRP Big Block Modifieds will invade Stateline on June 14th, creating a regional “ground pounder” battle royal between the Big Block stars of Western NY, Southern Ontario, Central NY, and Western PA.
Stateline’s “4th of July Frenzy” will feature two $10,000 to WIN events! The frenzy begins on July 4th with the All-Star Circuit of Champion Sprint cars, as they return to Stateline, one of 11 tracks on their founding schedule in 1970. The All-Star Sprints will be joined by Stateline’s Pro Stocks, RUSH Pro Modifieds, and UMP Modifieds.
Next, on July 5th, the ULMS Super Late Models will compete for $10,000 to WIN, with another dose of Sprint Car action provided by the RUSH Sprint Cars, and regular support divisions including RUSH Late Models, UMP Modifieds, Pro Stocks, RUSH Stock Cars, and Challengers.
Stateline’s annual Fan Appreciation Night will take place on July 19th, providing over $10,000 of fan prizes and giveaways.
Throughout the season, weekly support divisions will see several big paydays, beginning with the $2,000 to WIN Pro Stock 50-Lapper on May 17th, the RUSH Stock Car Mid-Season Championship, paying $1,500 to WIN, a $2,500 to WIN RUSH Pro Modified Summer Special on July 26th, a $1,000 to WIN Sharp Mini Late Model event on July 12th, and the Challenger “King of the Mountain” which will pay $2,000 to WIN with an overall purse of $9,800.
