KRAMER WILLIAMSON TOPS URC BIG GUNS FOR THIRD WIN OF 2007 AND 66TH
CAREER WIN SATURDAY NIGHT AT HAGERSTOWN SPEEDWAY
HAGERSTOWN, MD . . . . . Sporting a brand new "Pink Panther"
#73, Kramer Williamson of Palmyra, PA won his heat race then went on to
win the 25 lap URC BAR'S LEAKS Sprint Series feature event at the
Hagerstown Speedway. For Williamson, a three time URC Champion, it was
his third win of the season and sixty-sixth career win under the URC
banner. Williamson led every lap in the feature event and survived
several caution flags as well as a red flag on the initial start.
Williamson dominated the entire night to collect the $2,000 first place
prize.
A still another strong field of twenty-eight URC sprint cars were on
hand at Frank Plessinger's well groomed Hagerstown Speedway. In the
three heat race events, Kyle Purks, Michael Carber driving the Bill
Gallagher #5G and Kramer Williamson were the winners as the Don Ott "B"
Main went to Adam Gordon.
In the twenty-five lap feature event, a bad start triggered a five car
crash in turn on with drivers Robbie Stillwaggon and Scott Pursell
violently flipping in turn one. Both drivers walked away uninjured. On
the restart, Kramer Williamson and Jason Clauss took the green flag and
immediately ran to hide from the rest of the field. Jimmy Stitzel
followed in third with JJ Grasso now in chase of the leader. On lap
seven the caution flag was displayed when Trevor Lewis and Adam Gordon
tangled in turn three. On the restart, Williamson was again the fastest
and ran to hide from the rest of the field as JJ Grasso followed in
second with Jason Clauss third.
At the halfway point of the race, Williamson, Clauss, Grasso, Carber and
current point leader Curt Michael were in a battle for the top five
spots. Thrilling the fans was Michael Carber in the Valley Forge Inc
#5G. Carber used the outside lane as he charged from his tenth starting
position to get as high as fourth, when a steering problem developed
sending him to the pits on lap nineteen.
With just six laps remaining, Kramer Williamson now had to deal with
Jason Clauss and a fast closing Curt Michael. Both Clauss and Michael
had their own battle underway as Williamson again ran to hide. With
two laps to go, Curt Michael motored into second and set his sights on
Williamson. Michael just ran short of time to seriously challenge
eventual winner Kramer Williamson. Making up the top five were Josh
Weller, Jason Clauss and the "Jersey Jet" JJ Grasso
