We're sorry to have to report more sad news for Pro Cup teams, fans, and supporters. This afternoon, longtime team owner Steve Husketh passed away after an extended illness.

Steve's team, Premiere Motorsports #68, and his driver for many years, Allen Purkhiser, were able to visit Victory Lane twice in the 2012 season with Steve there to celebrate with them.

Series Set to Return to Rockingham Paying $20,000 to Winner  

Mooresville, NC 12/17/12- Officials from the Rev-Oil Pro Cup Series are proud to announce the 2013 season schedule on the heels of a very successful “open house” event at the Charles Mack Citizen Center in downtown Mooresville, North Carolina last Friday night. The 2013 season will kick off on Saturday April 6th at the Dillon Motor Speedway in Dillon, South Carolina and feature fourteen total events with the first ten setting the stage for the annual four race championship series to crown a series champion.

From there the series schedule makes its first of two series stops at the Hickory Motor Speedway in Hickory, North Carolina on April 20th followed by a trip back to South Carolina at the Anderson Motor Speedway on May 4th. The state of Tennessee and Virginia welcomes the series respectively on May 17th at Kingsport Speedway and Motor Mile Speedway on June 8th. A summertime show on June 22nd at Myrtle Beach Speedway closes out the month of June, before the fans of the Southern National Motorsports Park in Kenly, North Carolina welcome the series for the first time of the season on July 13th.

The one question mark remaining on the 2013 schedule is Saturday July 27th as series officials are working on several different options to fill the date at a track that will be new to the series. An announcement in the coming weeks will give full details of the event slated for that date. Second trips to Anderson on August 10th and Kingsport on Sunday August 25th after the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Bristol will close out the regular season portion of the schedule setting the stage for the four race championship series. Orange County Speedway (September 14th), Southern National Motorsports Park (September 28th), and the Hickory Motor Speedway (October 19th) will all host the first three championship series events.

The highlight of the 2013 schedule comes at the season’s final event as the series joins both the UARA and the NASCAR K&N East Series at the one mile Rockingham Speedway in Rockingham, North Carolina to make up the “Classic 3 Championship” presented by The Richard Childress Racing Museum on November 2nd. Not only will the event decide the 2013 Rev-Oil Pro Cup Series champion, but it will pay $20,000 to the race winner making it the highest paying event of the year and the weekend.

Mooresville, NC 11/28/12- Plans for the 2013 Rev-Oil Pro Cup Series are beginning to take shape as officials are proud to announce that the Dillon (SC) Motor Speedway will host the 2013 season opening race on Saturday April 6th. The 2013 season will mark the second year of competition under the ownership of series president Jack McNelly as well as series title sponsor Revolution Oil.
