PINE GROVE, PA (May 2026) — Ultra4 USA returned to Rausch Creek Off-Road Park for the Rock Krawler Suspension Rausch Creek Rumble, delivering a full weekend of intense racing as the 2026 season’s first East Series round officially got underway.
Known for its brutal terrain, Rausch Creek once again proved why it’s one of the toughest stops on the schedule. The demanding course took its toll on both drivers and machines, featuring punishing rock trails like “Outer Limits” that showcased true rock crawling conditions. Mechanical failures, tough lines, and relentless obstacles made survival just as important as speed.
4400 Class Headlines the Weekend
In the premier 4400 Unlimited class, it was a home track victory for Josh Blyler, who powered his way to the top step of the podium in front of a hometown crowd. With Rausch Creek serving as a familiar proving ground for Blyler and his family, the win carried extra significance as he defended his home turf against a stacked field.
Jeff Price and Casey Gilbert completed the podium after a hard-fought battle through the unforgiving course.
With limited passing opportunities and technical sections throughout, every position had to be earned the hard way.
