Preston Ruh Racing Set For 2024 Season

Preston and Madeline are set to start planning for a 2024 Season with the IRA Sprint Car Series. The two have been drafting ideas into what this next season will look like for their small family-owned race team.

"First off, we're just happy to be back behind the wheel," Preston stated. "The previous season had some ups and downs and ultimatley our 410 engine had blown up at Cedar Lake Speedway in September. We were looking for some options and with the help of others, we found one that will suit our needs.

"We couldn't be done just yet." Madeline added. As the team was officially handed over to the couple just last season, the team racked up an impressive run with the Bumper to Bumper IRA Sprint Car Series making headlines at joeverdegan.com and Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "One of my favorite parts of racing now is our team. At the end of the night, it's always nice to see the 26R roll trackside." she continued.

The team is looking to run more of the regional portion of the IRA Sprint Car series so they can continue to work through the summer for their wedding scheduled in early 2025.

"Our future together is important. We need to balance our love of racing and a plan that is beneficial to our future." Ruh commented.

The team is continuing to build their 2024 team. If any business is interested in marketing their business in a new and innovative way, please contact Madeline and Preston at ruhracingsponsors@gmail.com for their 2024 Sponsorship Proposal. In this packet, you’ll learn more about them as car owners, their race car, racing accomplishments, what does it mean to sponsor a race team, and more.

Stay tuned for more 2024 updates and sponsorship releases in the upcoming weeks. The two look forward to another season with the IRA Sprint Car Series.
