Second-generation racer Dave Hess Jr. would once again show his total dominance that he carried the entire 2021 season by bagging both the Super Late Model and UMP Modified features. Hess had a Cinderella season winning nine out of 15 Super Late Model events as well as winning 10 out of 12 UMP Modified Events. No driver in the history of the speedway has ever racked up the single-season totals that Hess has, especially racing in two divisions.

Hess showed that he’s just not one of the top regional guys, but can easily win on a national level like he did back on June 17, by defeating the top guns of the World Of Outlaws Late Models Series.

Dennis Lunger closed out 2021 in fine fashion picking up the win in the RUSH Pro-Mods. John Boardman showed no mercy by defeating a fine field of Penn-Ohio Pro Stocks and Chub Frank picked up his first-ever Stateline RUSH Crate Late Model victory.

Friday evening would start out honoring last week’s 13 fallen troops in Afghanistan. The ceremony consisted of 13 racers carrying the Red, White and Blue. All 13 drivers in procession were selected for their honorary military ties.

Jason Genco won the Super Late Model feature on Friday night at Stateline Speedway in Busti, N.Y.

Next up in pre-race ceremonies would be the honoring of the 2021 top-3 points finishers, from each of Stateline’s weekly divisions.

Randy Anderson, from The Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame, was master of ceremonies for the awards.

Frewsburg, New York’s Jason Genco finally got the job done in his young Super Late Model career, besting the star-studded 25-car field. Genco who has already shown much success in the Crate Late Models, proved he has what it takes to get the job done in only first full season in the headliner division.

Robert Williams ousted 43 of the best Challenger racers in the region, bringing home the class’s biggest payday of 2021.

All other classes in attendance completed their preliminaries to set the stage for Saturday’s feature events.

Brent Rhebergen, Dave Hess Jr. and Michael McGee won UMP Modified Heats. David Parker, Jeremy Wonderling and Jason Genco won RUSH Crate Late Model prelims. Christian Couchenour, Jason Covey and Tanner Ramsey, locked themselves into Saturday’s Penn-Ohio Pro Stock A-Main, with their heat race victories. Adam Ashcroft, Vaughn Nystrom, and Michael Eschrich all scored preliminary wins in the RUSH Pro Mods.
