June 21, 2026             FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

(Pulaski, PA)…One of the region's most sought after "trophies" will return to the 2026 edition of the "Bill Emig Memorial" presented by Sunoco Race Fuels in conjunction with Seal-Tite Paving & Excavating, Keyser Manufacturing, Integra Racing Shocks, and Joseph J. Oliva Attorney at Law to be held June 25-27 at Lernerville Speedway for the RUSH Late Model Flynn's Tire/Gunter's Honey Tour.  D&V Jewelers will once again create this beautiful championship diamond ring presented by MotoRad Spec Racing Development to the $20,000 event winner!

 

Prior  standout recipients of the D&V Jewelers championship diamond ring presented by MotoRad include  Mark Whitener, Max Blair, Dave Hess, Jr., and most recent winner, Mason Zeigler; all agreed it was one of the most unique awards they had ever received in their illustrious careers and would be cherished for years to come. This year's ring is destined to do the same with the winner of this year's event to be determined on June 27 following the conclusion of the 50-lap RUSH Late Model feature, which will be streamed live on FloRacing part of the "Firecracker 100" with Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series.

 

The championship ring is 14K solid gold handcrafted, custom designed and manufactured by D&V Jewelers of New Castle, Pa., and is a man’s Diamond Ring commemorating the "Bill Emig Memorial".  The ring is 100% American made, with a retail value in excess of $8,000 and includes an insurance appraisal and Diamond certificate. 

 

"In my mind, the beautiful D&V championship diamond ring has become the signature of the Bill Emig Memorial",  stated Bill Emig's daughter and Series Director Vicki Emig.  "A $20,000 paycheck is amazing of course, but I think years from now the ring will serve as a very special reminder of that great night when they captured the checkered flag at the richest Chevrolet Performance Crate Late Model event in the country!  I can't thank MotorRad Spec Racing Development for joining us as the presenting sponsor of the diamond ring, but also as an important corporate marketing partner of RUSH moving forward."   

 

In addition to the $20,000 to-win "Bill Emig Memorial" feature, there will be a Real Merchant Services DMV Non-Qualifier presented by Close Racing Supply paying $500 to-win, $225 to-start.   A minimum of 35 non-qualifiers will also receive a product package valued between $200-$500.  The "Uncle Sam's Grand" presented by Weather Capital Sales will see one lucky RUSH Late Model driver win the $1,000 drawing!  Numerous other contingencies and bonus monies will also be on the line.
