THREE URC TEAMS PLAN TO COMPETE IN USAC NATIONAL WINGLESS SPRINT TOUR
OPENER AT GRANDVIEW TUESDAY, JUNE 3RD
The much anticipated return of the USAC National Wingless Sprint Tour is
drawing much attention with at least thirty teams currently pre-entered
for the USAC Eastern Swing Opener on Tuesday night, June 3 at the
Grandview Speedway. URC competitors Mark Bitner, Robbie Stillwaggon
and Josh Weller have plans to compete when the wings come off at
Grandview Tuesday night. All three drivers have URC wins and are very
good representatives of the eastern based 360 sprint organization.
While these drivers are giving up some horse-power against the 410
power-plants, racing wingless is an equalizer. Mark Bitner of Trenton,
NJ has some modified experience and in the past, that has always been a
big benefit for drivers going to wingless sprint car racing. Robbie
Stillwaggon of Burlington, NJ owns one career URC win and is enjoying a
great start to the URC season, currently ranked fifth in the season long
point chase. Josh Weller of Mertztown, PA is a one time winner with URC
and that win came at the Grandview Speedway. This is a home town crowd
for Weller so he's looking for a great showing as well.
There is no doubt that the winged 410 sprints are always fast and
furious at the Grandview Speedway, but for some real wheel banging,
slide jobs and an occasional bounce off the wall, the USAC wingless
sprints are always a thrill. One year later and the crowd is still
buzzing about last years USAC show at Grandview where Levi Jones of
Olney, IL was the winner driving the Tony Stewart owned sprint car
entry.
Lucas Wolfe of Mechanicsburg, PA was the 2007 Thunder on the Hill Racing
Series champion and he'll be running the Grandview USAC show in chase of
a repeat Thunder Series title. Fast Freddie Rahmer and Billy Pauch
along with Billy Pauch Jr will be looking to bring home the win as well.
So plan on it now and be at Grandview Speedway on Tuesday night, June 3.
Gates will open at 5 PM with race time for 7:30 PM. General admission
tickets are $25 for adults, $5 for children 6-11 and children under the
age of 6 will be admitted for free. The pit fee is $30 and a Grandview
license is not required. This event is the second race of 2008 for the
NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series.
