TWO RACE WEEKEND SET FOR URC WITH STOPS AT WILLIAMS GROVE AND DELAWARE
INTERNATIONAL
The URC BAR'S LEAKS Sprint Series has a two race weekend planned with
their first stop at the Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night, August
24th. This will be a point race for the season long URC BAR'S LEAKS
Title Championship as well as the Valley Forge INC Pennsylvania Point
Series. On Saturday night, the URC sprints will head south to the
Delaware International Speedway for still another event that is part of
the Taylor & Messick Delaware State Sprint Series.
Heading into the weekend, Curt Michael and Kramer Williamson are URC's
big winners to date, with both drivers scoring three features wins this
season. Michael is looking for his fifth URC title and fourth
consecutive URC crown. Michael owns thirty-five career URC wins as
Williamson has sixty-six victories and three URC titles.
Ed Aikin of Lincoln Park University, PA is runner-up in the point chase
and has one win this season, the Shot Drop Rislone Sprint Nationals at
Williams Grove that paid $4,000 to win. Michael Carber of Piperville,
PA has two wins this season in his first year with URC. This past
weekend, Carber changed rides to pilot the Bill Gallagher owned Valley
Forge INC #5G. Carber had a strong run going at Hagerstown until a
steering problem sent him to the pit area.
Chris Coyle continues to be a force within URC, now ranked fourth in
points and a two time feature winner in 2007. Coyle of Wilmington, DE
is delivering great results with a home grown team that is battling
weekly with the big guns of URC. Trevor Lewis of Upper Black Eddy, PA
and driver of the Scott McClaren sprinter, a team car with Ed Aikin is
also a contender with the drop of every green. Lewis missed a few
races over the course of the season but is still sixth in the point
chase and a URC feature winner at the Bridgeport Speedway this season.
Brian Seidel of Allentown, PA and the 2000 URC Champion is now driving
the Guy Howie owned #19H sprint car. With twenty-one career URC
victories, Seidel has been shutout of a victory so far in 2007. Seidel
and Howie were working well together on Saturday night at Hagerstown,
the coming two race weekend should help gel this potential power team of
URC.
2006 Rookie of the Year Davey Sammons of Bordentown, NJ is ranked eighth
in the URC point chase and is in the mix weekly with the potential to
win on any given night. Luck appears to be improving for Jason Clauss
after a solid fifth place finish at the Orange County Fair Speedway last
weekend and fourth place run Saturday night at the Hagerstown Speedway.
One spot out of the top ten in points is URC's own Mr. Excitement, JJ
"The Jersey Jet" Grasso. Making his home Pedricktown, NJ, Grasso is
just a thrill to watch and without a doubt, a favorite of the fans. He's
exciting but not out of control and always willing to wager a good
battle on the track no matter who he is racing with.
