Promoter William Nusser returns for his second season and is eager to build on the momentum from a successful first year.
“We’re pumped to kick off the 2026 season at the Bullring and can’t thank our fans, drivers, sponsors, and everyone who supported us last year enough,” said Nusser. “Our focus is fans and drivers. We’re looking to build on last year’s record car counts and attendance with even bigger and better shows. Everyone needs to know when they come to the Bullring it’s gonna be a night to remember!”
Fairboard member and longtime track announcer Chris Long, the unmistakable voice of the Bullring, shared his enthusiasm:
“As a fairboard member and the voice of the Bullring, I’m proud to watch this track grow under William’s leadership,” said Long. “Last year laid a fantastic foundation, and this season—with IMCA sanctioning, more dates, and great sponsor support—we’re focused on delivering top-tier racing and nights the whole family will remember. Come out, make some noise, and help us put the Rush in Rush County!”
