INCLEMENT WEATHER FORECASTED THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND CANCELS HOVIS RUSH LATE MODEL FLYNN’S TIRE/GUNTER’S HONEY TOURING SERIES EVENT AT Bridgeport Speedway By Mike Leone
April 3, 2025 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (Swedesboro, NJ)…With periodic rain showers forecasted throughout the entire weekend in addition to high temperatures only in the 50s on Saturday, the $10,000 to-win Hovis Auto & Truck Supply RUSH Dirt Late Model Flynn’s Tire/Gunter’s Honey Touring Series event presented by Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic and Insinger Performance scheduled for Bridgeport Motorsports Park April 4-5 with a rain date of April 6 has been cancelled.
“It’s unfortunate the weather wasn’t in our favor,” stated RUSH Director Vicki Emig. “We were really looking forward to having the showplace that Bridgeport is host the first ever RUSH-sanctioned event in New Jersey, and kickoff our Touring Series season in the biggest way possible. After averaging 40 cars per event in 2024, we were expecting a tremendous high turnout of cars from all over the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Mid-Ohio Valley, but Mother Nature had other ideas. With rain in the forecast every day this weekend and not ideal weather on Saturday with the chilly temps along with the travel that most teams were facing, we fully support Bridgeport promoter Doug Rose’s decision to cancel the event today.”
We did consider racing without the Late Models, but temps are just to cold for racing. High of 50 at race time and damp air, we felt it was best to stay home and drink some delicious hot chocolate 🙂

Before a packed house on Saturday afternoon at Bridgeport Motorsports Park, Stewart Friesen and young gun Alex Payne thrilled the crowd with a cat-and-mouse battle for the lead in the Bob Hilbert Sportswear Short Track Super Series (STSS) Fueled By Sunoco ‘60 Over Special’ in memory of Doug Hoffman.
Friesen prevailed in the 60-lap main, collecting $6,060 for his efforts at the Kingdom of Speed.
“Alex (Payne) was setting a heck of a pace,” Friesen said. “I was trying to watch his tire and hoping he would wear it out, but he wasn’t slowing down. I had to pick it up a little bit.
“It was a great track for an afternoon show. We got to race all over it there.”
The win for Friesen was his 52nd on the series and first STSS conquest at Bridgeport since April 23, 2017 on the former five-eighths-mile layout.
Saturday’s STSS Modified event served as Round No. 2 of the NJ Quality Drywall South Region title chase.
Billy Pauch Jr., who picked the pole during the Beyea Custom Headers Redraw, led the opening six laps before New York’s Payne – making his Bridgeport debut for the STSS event – powered into the top spot following a double-file restart.
Payne established command of the event while Friesen – who started sixth – moved into the runner-up spot prior to the race’s one-third mark.
With that, the lead battle was on.
Payne – running masterfully around the South Jersey high banks – kept Friesen at bay until the 47th tour of the four-tenths-mile.
Friesen swept around the outside of Payne after a restart with 14 laps remaining.
“After those restarts, he (Payne) came down to protect the bottom and I was able to get my momentum up and drive around him,” Friesen added.
Matt Sheppard, who started 11th, emerged as a contender late in the main event, taking third with 10 laps to go and surpassing Payne for second on lap 57.
Sheppard, of Savannah, N.Y., trailed Friesen across the Sunoco checkered flag.
“I feel like we had a really good car again, especially on the longer runs,” Sheppard said. “The later the race went on, the better we got. We were passing cars pretty good at the beginning of the race, but it seemed like every restart I ended up in the wrong spot.
“It says a lot about this team that we were able to claw through all that and get up to second.”
Canandaigua, N.Y.’s Payne, with the newly acquired backing of Todd English for STSS competition, completed the podium.
“This place is really cool,” Payne offered. “I needed those (practice) laps last night. I got here and I was super uncomfortable and not very good. We kept picking away at it. Today, I got to where I could race.
“I really didn’t know what the race was going to do or anything about the surface and how it changes. I didn’t quite keep up as a driver with it.”
Alex Yankowski of Covington Township, Pa., drove the Millman’s NAPA Auto Parts No. 84Y to fourth, up from 14th, and Anthony Perrego of Walden, N.Y., climbed from 24th to finish fifth in Vinnie Salerno’s No. 4*, righting the team’s string of misfortune.
Completing the top 10 were 25th-starter Dillon Steuer of Bohemia, N.Y.; Justin Grosso of Belle Mead, N.J., moving forward from 21st; Modified rookie Logan Watt of Boyertown, Pa.; Brandon Grosso of Belle Mead, N.J., recovering from a mid-race flat left-rear tire; and Cale Ross of Lambertville, N.J., after starting 16th.
Danny Bouc was the ATL Fuel Cells Hot Lap Hero at 16.152 seconds.
Heat winners were Payne, Ryan Godown and Laubach. Joseph Watson scored the consolation triumph.
Quebec’s Donovan Lussier made the tow south worthwhile in the 44-lap STSS Sportsman event, leaving for the Great White North with a $4,444 payday, his first win with the series.
Lussier, who was denied victory by misfortune in Florida, turned his luck around on Garden State soil in Round No. 2 of the Belmont’s Garage South Region.
Lussier took advantage of his third starting position to take the lead on the eighth lap with an outside pass of Matt Ellery.
Despite lapped traffic, changing track conditions and a rash of yellows, Lussier prevailed.
Ellery, of South Plainfield, N.J., was second, followed by 22nd-starter James Hill of Laurel, Del., with a late-race climb, seventh-starter Ethan Bill of Pilesgrove, N.J., and Steve Davis of Cream Ridge, N.J., after starting ninth.
Matt Peck was the Fastline Performance Hot Lap Hero at 17.585 seconds.
Heat winners were Joe Toth, Bill, Lussier and Stephen Kemery. Consolation victories went to Dylan Madsen and Jarod Millman.

SWEDESBORO, The anticipation is palpable as the Short Track Super Series (STSS) prepares to kick off the Doug Hoffman Memorial at Bridgeport Motorsports Park’s season opener. This year’s event promises to be even more thrilling, with a loaded roster of top-tier talent ready to battle it out on the newly resurfaced track. Adding to the excitement, the season opener will honor one of dirt racing’s most beloved figures with the annual Doug Hoffman Memorial, ensuring an emotionally charged and competitive night of racing.
The Doug Hoffman Memorial adds prestige to the season opener. The Doug Hoffman Memorial, held in honor of the legendary driver and former Bridgeport promoter, continues to be a staple in the Bridgeport schedule. Hoffman’s influence on Northeast dirt racing is immeasurable, and his legacy lives on through this annual event that brings the best of the best to the high banks of Bridgeport. Drivers and fans alike cherish the opportunity to pay tribute to a man who left an indelible mark on the sport.
Past editions of the Doug Hoffman Memorial have delivered unforgettable moments, and this year’s version is shaping up to be no different. With a deep field of Modified stars itching to test their mettle on the revamped surface, the stakes couldn’t be higher as the STSS kicks off Bridgeport’s 2025 campaign.
A new surface brings new challenges and excitement to Bridgeport Motorsports Park, affectionately known as “The Kingdom of Speed,” has undergone significant improvements during the offseason. The most notable upgrade is the new racing surface, designed to provide smoother, wider, and more competitive racing. The new clay has been meticulously prepared to deliver a consistent surface while maintaining the wide, multi-groove characteristics that have made Bridgeport a fan favorite.
Drivers got their first taste of the revamped surface during an open practice session on March 15, and the response was overwhelmingly positive. “The track is great,” said Dominic Buffalino after logging several practice laps. Track promoter, Doug Rose stated “It’s smooth, consistant, and track crew did an amazing job. I think we’re going to see some of the best racing we’ve ever had at Bridgeport this weekend.”
Adding to the weekend’s excitement, the Sportsman division is also drawing attention with a booming Hoffman Memorial winner’s share presented by ICE LESS llc. up for grabs. The top prize of $4,444 has attracted a strong field of Sportsman competitors eager to cash in on this lucrative payout. The impressive purse is a testament to Bridgeport’s commitment to rewarding grassroots racers while delivering high-stakes action for the fans.
“This is huge for the Sportsman guys,” said Rose. “A payout like this is a game-changer, and it’s going to make the race that much more intense. Everyone’s going to be gunning for that top spot.”
With a mix of local favorites and traveling stars from as far as Canada to Delaware ready to take on the challenge, the ICE LESS Sportsman race promises to be one of the most fiercely contested events of the weekend. The increased payout will undoubtedly push drivers to the limit as they battle for bragging rights and a substantial payday.
Stacked field ready for battle as the green flag approaches for the Bridgeport STSS season opener, the competition is shaping up to be fierce. Defending series champions, up-and-coming talents, and seasoned veterans are all primed to put on a show for the packed Bridgeport crowd. With the Doug Hoffman Memorial $6060 pay day, an prodigious Sportsman purse, and valuable early-season points on the line, expect nothing less than an all-out battle when the engines roar to life.
The combination of an elite field, a reimagined racing surface, and the weight of tradition makes this year’s STSS season opener at Bridgeport a can’t-miss event. Fans will witness history in the making as the stars of the series test their skills and strategies on a track that promises to deliver edge-of-your-seat action from start to finish.
