TONY STEWART - Auto Club 400 Race Advance Defining ‘Rush’ in Southern California

From: Stewart Haas Racing

Multiple-meaning words – terms that can have different meanings depending on how they are used in a sentence – can be tricky for students of the English language. “Light,” “crash,” and “oil” are just a few that appear on a very long list of words that can be used as verbs, nouns and even adjectives depending upon the context and conjugation.

Take the word “rush”. While it is typically used in reference to the notions of haste or urgency, rush can be used as a verb, adjective or noun. The word commonly appears in the English language when referencing heavy traffic patterns such as the morning or evening rush hours. As a verb, it appears when explaining that someone has to hurry to an intended designation. The ways in which the word is used as a noun are numerous, from its appearance in historical anecdotes about the California Gold Rush to the “rush” that is achieved through a surge of adrenaline.

This weekend at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif., Tony Stewart intends to make popular yet another form of the word “rush,” and that is its existence as a proper noun.

Rush Truck Centers makes its sponsorship debut during this weekend’s Auto Club 400 where the premier solutions provider to the commercial vehicle industry will serve as the primary sponsor for the No. 14 Stewart-Haas Racing (SHR) team. It’s the first of three NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races in which Stewart will carry the colors of Rush Truck Centers, and while it marks their first time competing in the capacity of primary sponsor for the No. 14 team, Rush Truck Centers is far removed from playing the role of a rookie.
