The inaugural Steel City Rumble Series is a five-race championship for Super Stocks at Flamboro Speedway.
A race is scheduled for each month:
The Super Stock category includes a variety of makes and models from the '60s to the current year. The rules used in the class allow some suspension modifications and changes to the bodies. Some Super Stock cars retain the original steel bodies with plastic noses and fiberglass hoods; however, most use fiberglass body panels. They are powered by a modified small-block engines or crate motors from General Motors and Ford. The division serves as a 'stepping stone' for those drivers who aspire to compete in the Pro Late Model category. Tire rules have been implemented to reduce expenses. Teams are limited to an inventory of four used and four new tires during the season. Also, if a driver hasn't competed in the first two races and enters a single event, they must start last. The final round of the Steel City Rumble series was held on September 6 at Flamboro Speedway. Drivers competed in a forty-lap contest around Flamboro’s 1/3-mile asphalt semi-banked oval.

The pace lap for the final event of the 2025 Steel City Rumble series at Flamboro Speedway. On the pole is the second fastest qualifier, Sean Chenoweth, in the No. 89C London Recreational Racing / Stewart’s Chevrolet Camaro. A roll of the dice by the fastest qualifier, Lane Zardo, determined how many cars would be inverted for the start of the contest. Zardo rolled a two and started on the outside of the front row in the No. 36Z Ford Mustang. |

Sean Chenoweth has a ‘full plate’ in 2025 as his schedule includes the APC United Late Model, Ontario Outlaw Super Late Model and the Dayco and Steel City Rumble Super Stock series. A week earlier, Chenoweth was at Sunset Speedway competing in the ‘The Scorcher’ Super Stock event. He started on the pole and finished fourth. A week later, Chenoweth was gridded first, but this time he led flag to flag for the victory. |

Zardo was the fastest qualifier at Flamboro, but started second after the invert. During the race, he followed Sean Chenoweth until he was passed by Justin Collison. Collison retired and then Zardo had to contend with Nick Troback. Zardo got around Troback for a second-place finish and the title. |
