BECCA ANDERSON COMES HOME TO DELAWARE INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY SATURDAY NIGHT

Becca is back! For the race fans in the state of Delaware, they'll be treated to the return of Becca Anderson this Saturday night at the Delaware International Speedway when the Rislone URC Sprint Series makes their fourth stop of the season. The popular gal out of Houston, DE is a nine time feature winner with URC and on Saturday night, she will strap into the Dave Betts owned #22. Anderson will pilot this ride for a few weeks or until regular driver Chris Coyle, returns to the cockpit.

Anderson took her first ride in the Betts sprinter this past weekend at the Rolling Wheels Raceway. Although the weekend was a washout, Becca did compete in the Saturday night warm-up/time trial session. With no pre-warm-up seat time in the Betts sprinter, Anderson set eighth fastest time of forty-nine drivers, a very impressive start for this newly organized team.

Heading to the Delaware International Speedway this Saturday night, Becca Anderson is very familiar with the track and truly loves to perform for her home town fans.

Becca Anderson and Dave Betts may be the headline story going into the Delaware International Speedway this Saturday night, but the competition will be tough. In the three previous Delaware International events, Justin Collett, Andy Best and JJ Grasso were the winners. Grasso put on a show at the last Delaware International event, starting fourteenth and taking the lead just four laps from the checker flag to earn the win.

Justin Collett of Middletown, DE is enjoying one of his best season ever, currently ranked second in points driving the John Pinter owned sprint car. Curt Michael of Ocean View, DE and six time URC Champion is third in the Rislone URC point chase. Michael is one of the best point racers and knows the secret of consistency that is needed in claiming the championship at the end of the season.

The sleeper and one driver to watch is URC's "Wild Child" Josh Weller. Currently ranked fourth in points (and he missed one event this season due to mechanical problems) is a threat at every event. Last weekend at the Rolling Wheels Raceway, Weller set fast time of the forty-nine car field and has one feature win in URC competition this season.

Another driver to watch is Randy West of Boyertown, PA. Driving the Fred Kennedy owned #56, West is currently ranked fifth in the title chase and hot off an impressive win a few weeks back at the New Egypt Speedway.

There is no doubt that Becca Anderson will have her hands full on Saturday night, but we've seen her do it before and there's no doubt that she will be in the thick of battle when the checker flag is waiving.

RAIN STOPS FAST TRACK SPRINT SUMMER SHOOT OUT SATURDAY NIGHT AT ROLLING WHEELS

A huge disappointment as rain once again fell on the Rolling Wheels Raceway Saturday night, cancelling the second night of the Fast Track Sprint Summer Shoot Out. A field of forty-nine quality 360 sprint cars turned out for the Rislone URC sanctioned event.

URC's Josh Weller of Mertztown, PA turned in the best time of the night, stopping the clock on the five-eighth mile at 17.795. Steve Poirier, Trevor Lewis, Bryan Howland and Jason Barney rounded out the top five in time trials.

Five heat race events were scheduled with the first three heat wins going to Blake Breen, Justin Barger and Trevor Lewis. The heavy rain moved in just at the completion of the third heat. After a thirty minute delay, track management was forced to cancel the event. The Rislone URC Sprints will return to New York on Friday night, October 8th for the $3,000 to win New York Shoot Out at the Weedsport Speedway.

URC will next be in action at the Delaware International Speedway on Saturday night, July 31.

As the field crossed for the halfway sign, Bitner and Schlauch were one and two with Josh Weller in third as Justin Collett and Curt Michael made up to the top five.

On lap twenty-three, the final caution of the night was displayed for Chris Weiss who stopped in turn two. On the restart and with just two laps remaining, Bitter settled in to take on all challengers, but he ran uncontested to the victory.

FRED'S TRAILER PARTS NEW JERSEY SERIES CONTINUES. . . . . . . RANDY WEST EARNS THIRD CAREER RISLONE URC SPRINT SERIES WIN SATURDAY NIGHT AT NEW EGYPT SPEEDWAY

Randy West of Boyertown, PA ran a flawless twenty-five laps to win the Rislone URC Sprint Series feature event on Fred's Trailer Parts Night at the New Egypt Speedway Saturday night.

But the win didn't come without an anxious moment.

After leading for twenty-four laps, second place runner JJ Grasso, looking for his third consecutive win, made a bold move, momentarily taking the lead from West in the fourth turn on the final lap. Grasso took the lead in turn four but opened the inside lane for West to regain the top spot and take the victory. Grasso, who never disappoints the crowd finished second with Justin Collett third. It was a wild last lap that earned West the $2,000 first place prize.

A field of twenty-eight URC sprint cars took part in three heat race events that were won by Jonathan Swanson, Scott Pursell and JJ Grasso with Kyle Purks taking the win in the "B" Main.

Twenty-five cars started the twenty-five lap feature but before the first lap was completed, the yellow was displayed for Bill Unglert who spun in turn two. On the restart, Randy West charged from his fourth place starting position to take the lead followed by Kenny Meisner. Trevor Lewis brought out the second caution on lap three when he spun.

With the green flag waiving,, West quickly put some distance between himself and Meisner as Justin Collett began to reel in the top two. As the race continued, West was still the pace setter at the halfway mark followed by Meisner, Collett, Josh Weller and Grasso. The third caution of the event was displayed on lap fifteen, this time for Kevin Darling.

When green flag racing resumed, West remained the man to beat and the top five remained un-changed. On lap eighteen, Grasso passed Weller to take over fourth. On lap twenty-one the last and final caution of the race was displayed for Kevin Nouse and Chris Coyle who tangled in turn one.

A five lap shootout to the checker flag was set and on the restart, Grasso passed Weller for third and began to reel in Collett.

With just two laps remaining, Grasso passed Collett for second and set his sights on the leader. Grasso moved closer to West as he set up for the last lap attempt. Going into the third three with great momentum, Grasso dove to the inside then slid in front of West to take the lead. Grasso was unable to hold the spot and continued his slide to the high side of the speedway, opening the door for West to regain the lead and earn the win. Somehow, Grasso managed not to spin out and regained control to earn a fan pleasing second place finish. Justin Collett finished third followed by Josh Weller and Kenny Meisner.

RISLONE URC SPRINT FEATURE FINISH: Randy West, JJ Grasso, Justin Collett, Josh Weller, Kenny Meisner, Art Liedl, Curt Michael, Davey Sammons, Trevor Lewis, Kyle Purks, Mark Bitner, Jonathan Swanson, Scott Pursell, Tim Hogue, Nick Schlauch Jr., Robbie Stillwaggon, Tim Higgins, Andy Best, Chris Coyle, Nick Bardsley, Kevin Nouse, Bill Unglert, Kevin Darling, Kramer Williamson, Rory Janney, DNQ- - Kevin Welsh, Chris Weiss, Mike Kostic..

PALLADINO RACING APPROACHES 50TH URC CAREER WIN MILESTONE

Pat and Kathy Palladino are looking to achieve a milestone on Saturday night, July 3rd when the Rislone URC Sprint Series invades the New Egypt Speedway.

Since coming to URC, Palladino Racing has forty-nine career wins and that was accomplished with four different drivers. Curt Michael delivered the most wins to the Palladino Team taking the checker flag twenty-five times. Curt's brother Sean scored thirteen URC wins for Kathy and Pat as current driver JJ Grasso parked the #99 in victory lane eight times. Trevor Lewis scored three of the forty-nine victories for Team 99. In addition to the many wins, Kathy and Pat Palladino are the first URC car owners to earn six championship titles.

Saturday night, July 3 the Rislone URC sprint series will be in action at the New Egypt Speedway, a favorite track for their driver JJ Grasso. At this time, Grasso the defending Rislone URC Champion is also the point leader and hot off two consecutive wins coming at the Grandview and Delaware International Speedway. Grasso is looking for a "hat trick" when URC invades New Egypt. Ironically, the first win for Kathy and Pat came at the New Egypt Speedway with Sean Michael driving the car in 1999. Since that time, they competed in 273 sanctioned URC events.

JJ Grasso leads the point chase by just seventy-five points over six time URC Champion Curt Michael. Expected Rislone URC sprint car entries for Saturday night at New Egypt Speedway include Justin Collett, Robbie Stillwaggon, Chris Coyle, Davey Sammons, Josh Weller, Kevin Nouse and Randy West to name a few.

TWO CONSECUTIVE WINS PLANTS GRASSO IN RISLONE URC POINT LEAD

There is still a long season ahead, but after seven events on the 2010 Rislone URC Point Series, JJ Grasso sits in the top spot of the season long point chase. Grasso of Pedricktown, NJ has won the last two URC events as the series moves to his favorite track, the New Egypt Speedway on Saturday night, July 3rd. Grasso holds a seventy-five point advantage over runner-up Curt Michael of Ocean View, DE who is a six time URC Champion and a master at collecting those valuable points to each the overall URC Championship title. The point chase is far from over and a safe prediction is nowhere to be found. Justin Collett driving the John Pinter owned URC sprint car is ranked third and positioned to sweep in and take the point lead on any given night. Robbie Stillwaggon is enjoying one of his best seasons yet, currently ranked fifth in the point battle. The Rislone URC Sprint Series has confirmed the return of the Kasey Kahne Foundation sprint car race at the Williams Grove Speedway on Thursday night, August 5. The following night, Friday, August 6 will find URC returning to Williams Grove for the $4,000 to win Rislone Nationals.

URC RACE RESULTS FROM DELAWARE INTERNATIONAL

TAYLOR & MESSICK DELAWARE STATE SPRINT SERIES CONTINUES . . . . . . JJ GRASSO JETS FROM FOURTEENTH TO VICTORY IN URC RISLONE SPRINT SERIES FEATURE EVENT SATURDAY NIGHT AT DELAWARE INTERNATIONAL

Defending Champion and current Rislone URC Sprint Series point leader JJ "The Jersey Jet" Grasso was the class of the field Saturday night at the Delaware International Speedway winning the 25 lap feature on Taylor & Messick Night. Grasso squeezed out a fifth place finish in his heat race, earning him the fourteenth starting spot in the feature field line-up. Grasso wasted little time moving the Palladino #99 through traffic moving into the top five by lap ten. In a planned and calculated move on lap twenty-two, Grasso passed a strong running Davey Sammons to take the lead. For the final four laps, Grasso set a blistering pace to score his second win of the season and fourteenth career win under the URC banner.

Heat race events were won by Kevin Nouse, Mike Kostic and Davey Sammons and the twenty-four car starting field was set to drop the green flag.

Kevin Nouse and Mike Kostic made-up the front row in the twenty-five lap URC sprint feature. At the drop of the green flag, Nouse jumped to the early lead with Davey Sammons taking solid control of second with Kevin Darling third. Sammons wasted little time in going after Nouse to stage a battle for the lead. On lap five, the first caution was displayed when Nick Schlauch Jr spun in turn one.

On the restart, Nouse again set the pace with Sammons still very close in the chase. Six time URC Champion Curt Michael was now in the top five and chasing down the leaders. As the field passed for lap ten, Sammons took the lead and never looked back. The yellow came out on lap eleven, this time for Mike Kostic who spun in turn four.

The field re-grouped and Sammons once again mastered the field followed by Kevin Nouse and JJ Grasso, now in third.

As the field passed for the halfway sign, Sammons was the pace setter followed by Nouse, Grasso, Kevin Darling and Curt Michael. On lap fourteen, Grasso and the Palladino #99 set their sights on Sammons who was holding a ten to twelve car length lead. Grasso slowly began to reel in Sammons as the two front runners approached slower traffic. By lap seventeen, it was a Sammons and Grasso show, then on lap twenty-two, Grasso made the move of the race to take the lead. Before lap twenty-three was completed, the yellow flag was displayed for Randy West who cut a tire and stopped in turn two, displaying the yellow flag for the final time of this event.

The green flag fell to restart of the three lap shoot out, but Grasso quickly moved away from the rest of the field, leading the final three laps to collect the URC victory.

JJ GRASSO IMPRESSIVE IN URC WIN AT GRANDVIEW SATURDAY NIGHT, CURT MICHAEL ADVANCES NINETEEN SPOTS FOR TOP FIVE FINISH

With the threat of Mother Nature about to throw a thunderstorm at the Grandview Speedway, the Rislone URC Sprint Series did manage to complete their show on Saturday night. It was a thriller that saw the "Jersey Jet" JJ Grasso rebound from a heat race crash to score his first win of the 2010 season. For six time URC Champion Curt Michael, motor problems in his heat race sent his Valley Forge INC Bill Gallagher owned sprinter to the pits early. A quick motor change and Curt Michael finished sixth in the "B" Main. In the feature event, Michael advanced nineteen spots to finish a solid fifth. And there was no doubt that with five additional laps, Michael might have been in the hunt for the win. Of course, to get to Grasso, Michael needed to pass Mertztown, PA driver Josh Weller who was ever so fast in the closing laps. Grasso, URC's point leader delivered a storybook finish for car owners Kathy and Pat Palladino. For Grasso, it was his first URC win of the season and thirteenth career win.

A field of thirty Rislone URC Sprint cars turned out for the program with heat race victories going to Randy West, Kevin Darling and Chris Weiss as Art Liedl was the winner of the URC "B" Main event.

At the start of the 25 lap main event, Randy West was the early race leader with the first caution being displayed on lap two when Kenny Meisner and Bill Unglert tangled and spun in turn. On the restart, West once again took command, this time holding off the challenges of Kevin Darling and Chris Coyle.

The caution was again dropped, this time on lap four when a multi-car crash took out Trevor Lewis who took a slow roll. Back to racing and Randy West was the pace setter with Chris Coyle in the chase By lap eight, Grasso was second and now had to bottle with West for the lead. It took only three laps for the "JET" to catch and pass West for the lead. On lap eleven, Coyle passed West to earn the runner-up spot.

With the halfway sign being displayed, Grasso was thrilling the fans, racing high, wide and handsome up against the outside boiler-plant. Coyle followed in second with West third, Justin Collett fourth and the "Wild Child" Josh Weller racing in fifth. Weller began to steal the show as he advanced to third on lap eighteen. One lap later, Weller was third and in the hunt of Grasso. In the meantime, Curt Michael moved into the top after qualifying through the consolation.

Grasso held a commanding lead, but brought the crowd to their feet when he slammed the fourth turn wall as he was approaching lapped traffic. Grasso rebounded and completed the final two laps to take the win. Josh Weller delivered a very impressive second place finish followed by Chris Coyle, Randy West and Curt Michael. Making up the top ten were Robbie Stillwaggon, Tim Hogue, Kevin Darling, Kyle Purks and Andy Best.

FEATURE FINISH: JJ Grasso, Josh Weller, Chris Coyle, Randy West, Curt Michael, Robbie Stillwaggon, Tim Hogue, Kevin Darling, Kyle Purks, Andy Best, Art Liedl, Justin Collett, Scott Pursell, Tim Higgins, Jonathan Swanson, Jimmy Stitzel, Chris Weiss, Tim Iulg, Rory Janney, Mike Kostic, Kevin Nouse, Trevor Lewis, Bill Unglert, Kenny Meisner.

THE "WILD CHILD" JOSH WELLER LEADS WIRE-TO-WIRE FOR RISLONE URC SPRINT VICTORY SUNDAY NIGHT AT GEORGETOWN SPEEDWAY

Josh Weller of Mertztown, PA was the winner Sunday night at the Georgetown Speedway in the twenty-five lap Rislone URC Sprint feature. In the racing circles, Weller is known as the "Wild Child" and he certainly lived up to that name as he dominated the entire night of racing. Weller won his heat, set the fastest one lap time of the night then led the entire twenty-five laps to pocket the $2,000 first place prize money on Taylor & Messick Night at Georgetown.

A field of twenty-nine URC sprint cars turned out for the racing program with heat racing victories going to Weller, Kevin Darling and Davey Sammons as Robbie Stillwaggon took the win in the URC "B" Main.

An extremely fast racing surface made the start of the feature event just a little wild as Art Liedl took a tumble going into turn one. On the restart, Kevin Nouse flipped entering turn one and the red flag was displayed.

On the restart, Josh Weller set the pace followed by Kevin Darling and Davey Sammons with six time URC Champion Curt Michael racing in fourth. Chris Coyle was on a charge along with Trevor Lewis. Coyle moved into fifth on lap three and quickly began to chase down Curt Michael. On lap ten, Coyle moved into fourth and set his sights on Sammons who was racing in third.

On lap eleven, the yellow was displayed when second place runner Kevin Darling spun into the backstretch. On the restart, Weller once again ran to find from the field . As the field crossed for the halfway sign, Weller, Sammons, Coyle, Trevor Lewis and Curt Michael were now the top five. Race leader Josh Weller had his hands full as he quickly came up on lapped traffic. But in his own exciting style, the "Wild Child" easily and comfortably worked his way through traffic.

Lap eighteen saw Trevor Lewis move into third and he set his sights on the runner-up spot, being held by Sammons. Also on a charge was defending URC Champion JJ Grasso who was now running in sixth. As the final five laps went off, Weller remained in solid control to claim the victory, his first win of the season and third career victory under the URC banner. Trevor Lewis rallied home second followed by Davey Sammons, Chris Coyle and Curt Michael.

FEATURE FINISH: Josh Weller, Trevor Lewis, Davey Sammons, Chris Coyle, Curt Michael, JJ Grasso, Justin Collett, Randy West, Kramer Williamson, Robbie Stillwaggon, Bill Unglert, Andy Best, Nick Schlauch Jr., Rory Janney, Jonathan Swanson, Kyle Purks, Tim Higgins, Kevin Darling, Jimmy Stitzel, Kenny Meisner, Chris Weiss, Tim Hogue, Kevin Nouse, Art Liedl.

2009 ROOKIES SHINE. . . . ANDY PROVES HE'S THE BEST OF URC SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE DELAWARE INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY

Andy Best of Dover, DE had his dream come true Saturday night at the Delaware International Speedway, after winning the twenty-five lap Rislone URC Sprint feature that is part of the Taylor & Messick Delaware State Sprint Series. For Best, it was his childhood dream to win a URC feature and everything fell perfectly into place at URC's fourth race of the season. A rookie with URC in 2009, it was ironic that his two biggest threats for the win were also 2009 rookie drivers, Jonathan Swanson the early race leader and Eddie Wagner, who raced in third most of the feature event. It was 2009 URC rookie sweep with Andy Best taking the win over Jonathan Swanson and Eddie Wagner. Making up the top five were Justin Collett and six time URC Champion Curt Michael.

A strong field of thirty-three URC sprint cars took part in the racing program with heat race victories going to Swanson, Best and Wagner as Kevin Darling won the twelve lap "B" Main.

In the twenty-five lap Rislone URC Sprint feature, Jonathan Swanson was the early race leader followed by Andy Best and Eddie Wagner. Swanson quickly ran to hide from the rest of the field as Best and Wagner settled in to run second and third. It was a mad dash to the front as drivers like Curt Michael, JJ Grasso, Trevor Lewis and Davey Sammons started the feature outside of the top twelve starting positions.

A very fast speedway saw the URC sprint cars racing at top speed and even at the halfway point, the brass of URC was still not in the top five. As the crossed flags were displayed, the top five running order was Swanson, Best, Wagner, Nick Schaluch Jr, and Justin Collett, with Swanson and Best in a battle for the lead.

On lap sixteen, the yellow flag was displayed for Randy West and Jimmy Stitzel who tangled in turn four, on the restart, Swanson and Best locked into battler and with a strong run off turn four, Best took the lead. By lap seventeen, Curt Michael moved into fifth with JJ Grasso and Davey Sammons on a charge. Sammons started last due to mechanical issues earlier in the night, but he was on his charge and inside the top ten.

With the checker flag waiving on lap twenty-five Andy Best scored the win, his first ever under the URC banner. Jonathan Swanson delivered an impressive second with Eddie Wagner third. After Wagner crossed the finish line, motor problems were evident as the sprinter coasted to a stop on the backstretch. Justin Collett finished fourth with Curt Michael fifth.

FEATURE FINISH: Andy Best, Jonathan Swanson, Eddie Wagner, Justin Collett, Curt Michael, JJ Grasso, Nick Schlauch Jr., Kramer Williamson, Art Liedl, Davey Sammons, Josh Weller, Robbie Stillwaggon, Kenny Meisner, Kyle Purks, Rory Janney, Kevin Darling, Kevin Nouse, Tim Higgins, Scott Pursell, Trevor Lewis, Chris Coyle, Randy West, Jimmy Stitzel, Tim Hogue, Mike Kostic.

NEXT Event: Sunday- - URC Sprints invade Georgetown Speedway

TAYLOR & MESSICK DELAWARE STATE SPRINT SERIES SET FOR TWO RACE WEEKEND

A big two race weekend is on tap for the Rislone URC Sprint Series as they invade the state of Delaware on May 29 and May 30. The Taylor & Messick Delaware State Sprint Series will welcome the stars and cars of URC as they return to the Delaware International Speedway on Saturday night, May 29. The following night, the URC sprinters will head to the Georgetown Speedway.

Justin Collett won the first stop at Delaware International Speedway on May 17, taking the win in convincing style, which also earned car owner John Pinter his first win as a URC car owner. Red hot Trevor Lewis, driving the Scott McClaren owner sprinter has won two of the three URC events presented this season. Lewis was just downright awesome in the Jack Gunn Memorial on May 15 at the Selinsgrove Speedway, earning the $3,500 victory by passing Pat Cannon on the last turn of the final lap. Ironically, it was a carbon copy finish between Lewis and Cannon in the same event the prior year.

Lewis, of Upper Black Eddy, PA now finds himself leading the lucrative Rislone URC Sprint Series point chase, a title he has never won. But Lewis will not leave chasing points get in the way of winning races. Lewis will be in action at both Delaware International Speedway and the Georgetown Speedway next weekend. Lewis will be looking forward to the following weekend when the Rislone 360 Sprint Nationals take to the Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night, June 4.

Lewis is still looking for his first Rislone Nationals victory with hopes of adding his name to the list of previous winners that include Aaron Ott 2009, Kenny Adams 2008, Ed Aikin 2007 and Pat Cannon 2006. This event could very well be another faceoff between Lewis and Cannon as they chase the $4,000 first place prize. Don't count out defending champion JJ Grasso and multi-time champion Curt Michael as both drivers are very fond of the "Grove".

URC has a lot of talent deep in the point standings to include Kevin Nouse, Davey Sammons, Justin Collett, Randy West, Kramer Williamson, Kevin Welsh, Art Liedl and Kyle Purks just to name a few.

Visit the URC website at www.urcsprints.com<http://www.urcsprints.com> for a look at the season long URC point chase, photos and store.

TREVOR LEWIS 2 FOR 3 AND IN THE POINT LEAD

Trevor Lewis driving the Scott McClaren owned 360 sprint car at the top of their game, coming off an impressive last corner pass on Saturday night to win the Jack Gunn Memorial at the Selinsgrove Speedway. For the second year in a row, Lewis won this event, made the pass on the final turn and moved Pat Cannon to the runner up spot.

With that convincing victory, Lewis vaulted into the Rislone URC Sprint Series point chase. Lewis has won his share of races, but he has never won a URC Championship Title. Could 2010 be his year?

Lewis has the point lead over defending champion JJ Grasso, Justin Collett, Curt Michael and Kevin Nouse rounds out the top five. The top ten in the URC point chase include Randy West, Kevin Welsh, Davey Sammons, Kramer Williamson and Kyle Purks.

The Rislone URC Sprint Series eyes a two race weekend with a visit to the Delaware International Speedway on Saturday night, May 29 followed by a visit to the Georgetown Speedway on Sunday night, May 30.

RISLONE URC SPRINT SERIES SHAKES UP SELINSGROVE. . . . .
TREVOR LEWIS DOES IT AGAIN TO PASS PAT CANNON ON THE FINAL LAP TO WIN THE 5TH ANNUAL URC/358 JACK GUNN Memorial CHALLENGE AT SELINSGROVE

It was almost a repeat from 2009. Pat Cannon was leading the thirty lap Jack Gunn Memorial and with two laps to go, URC's Trevor Lewis was reeling in the leader.

Saturday night at the Selinsgrove Speedway, just as he did last year, Lewis took the low groove off of turn four and beat out Cannon by inches at the finish line. For Lewis of Upper Black Eddy, PA the win was worth $3,500 and it was his second win in three Rislone URC Sprint Series starts in 2010. Cannon led the race from lap three and set a blistering pace, lapping up to the eighth place car. As the caution was displayed on lap twenty-five, Cannon suspected a broken spindle on his sprint car but figured he was good to go for the final five laps. Lewis proved that thought of thinking to be wrong and pulled off the win for the second consecutve year.

A star-studded field of fifty-three sprint cars took part in the event. Time trials opened the show and Pat Cannon not only set fast time, he established a one lap track record for the 360 sprints with a time of 17.393 or 110 mph for the one half mile oval. Of the twenty-six car starting field, eleven URC sprints made the grid.

At the start of the 30 lap Jack Gunn Memorial, Nate Snyder set the pace for the first three laps with Pat Cannon taking the lead on lap four. Also on a run was JJ Grasso who was racing in third. By lap twelve, Grasso was second but Cannon the race leader, was nowhere in sight. Chasing Cannon, Grasso and Snyder was Dave Franek and Trevor Lewis.

As the field crossed the line at halfway, Cannon was still in solid command followed by Grasso, Franek, Snyder and Lewis with Kevin Nouse just outside the top five.

The turning point of the race came on lap twenty-five when Dave Franek brought out a yellow with a flat tire. As the field circled under yellow, second place runner JJ Grasso stopped in turn four. The red flag was displayed to allow cars to refuel for the final run to the checker flag. Grasso was able to restart but did so at the rear of the field.

With five laps to go the event restarted and it was obvious that Cannon was just not as quick as he was earlier in the race. With three laps to go, Trevor Lewis was on a charge and running down Cannon. As the white flag fell, Lewis was just five car lengths behind Cannon and closing. Going into turn three, Lewis took the low groove with Cannon up high and the two set-up for their run to the checker flag.

Lewis made the perfect run off turn four, inching ahead of Cannon at the finish line. Cannon finished second with Kevin Nouse third, Nate Snyder fourth and Blane Heimbach fifth.

Michael holds just a two point lead over opening day winner Trevor Lewis and not too far out of reach is Justin Collett (-11 points), JJ Grasso fourth (- 19 points) and Randy West (-37 points). Making up the top ten in points is Davey Sammons, Kramer Williamson, Robbie Stillwaggon, Kevin Welsh and Kyle Purks. Drivers outside of the top ten looking to advance include Kevin Nouse, Kevin Darling, Chris Coyle, Nick Schlauch, Scott Pursell and Kenny Meisner.

The win on Saturday night for Justin Collett also earned him the point lead in the Taylor & Messick Delaware State Sprint Series. Making up the top five and following Collett are Kevin Welsh, Curt Michael, JJ Grasso and Randy West.

Off to a strong start this year is Randy West of Boyertown, PA. Driving the Fred Kennedy owned sprinter, West is ranked in URC's top five after the first two events. Robbie Stillwaggon, URC's Saturday night Hard Charger Award winner is eighth in the point chase and a likely candidate to inch his way into the top five as the season progresses.

After a wild crash on opening day at the Bridgeport Speedway, Chris Coyle and car owner Dave Betts returned for race two at Delaware International. Coyle set fast time while leading his heat until an oil leak and fire set him to the infield, giving up a potential heat race win.

The Betts/Coyle team worked frantically with help from Andy Anderson, Pat Palladino and others and Coyle was able to start the feature event. At the end of the twenty-five lap test, Coyle pulled off an impressive top five finish.

URC's next event, the "big one" is set for Saturday night May 15 when the URC sprints take on the 358 Sprints at the Selinsgrove Speedway. The 5th Annual Jack Gunn Memorial will pay $3,500 to the winner. Past winners of this event include Trevor Lewis (2009), Blane Heimbach (2006 & 2008), Dave Calaman (2007).

JUSTIN COLLETT LEADS WIRE-TO-WIRE, JOHN PINTER SCORES FIRST WIN AS URC CAR OWNER SATURDAY NIGHT AT DELAWARE INTERNATIONAL

It was a cold night at the Delaware International Speedway on Saturday night, but the spirited competition certainly did warm things up. At the end of the twenty-five lap Rislone URC Sprint feature event, Justin Collett of Middletown, DE scored the win, leading all twenty-five laps. For Collett, it was his second career win with URC, but for car owner John Pinter, it was a breakthrough night scoring his first career win as a URC Car Owner. Pinter has been so close on numerous occasions, but Saturday night the hard work finally paid off as the seasoned veteran of this sport, found victory lane. The win for Collett and Pinter was not an easy one has lapped traffic became a factor late in the race. But a caution on lap eighteen gave Collett clean air and clean sailing to the $2,000 first play prize.

The URC heat race events were won by Mark Bitner, Justin Collett and Davey Sammons. The starting field was set for the twenty-five lap Taylor & Messick Delaware State Sprint Series feature event. At the drop of the green flag, Collett quickly ran to hide from the rest of the field with Kevin Welsh and Mark Bitner in the chase.

On lap three, the yellow was displayed when Kevin Darling flipped in turn two. Darling walked away uninjured but damage sustained to the car, took the team out of the race. On the restart, Collett was again fast and furious and immediately established a solid lead. JJ Grasso moved into third on lap six with Kramer Williamson and Randy West in the hunt. Further back, Curt Michael, Trevor Lewis and Davey Sammons were on a charge to the front.

As the field crossed for the halfway sign, Collett was in the lead but slower traffic was becoming a factor as runner-up Kevin Welsh was making up ground and staging a challenge for the top spot. Grasso, Williamson and Michael followed in the top five.

The caution was displayed on lap eighteen when Davey Sammons tagged the outside wall and tumbled down the homestretch. It was a wild ride but Sammons did walk away uninjured.

On the restart, Collett had a clear speedway and established himself as the man to beat. Curt Michael passed JJ Grasso for third and set his sights on runner-up Kevin Welsh. With two lap remaining, Michael put on hold his challenge for second and now had to defend his third place spot as Grasso returned and staged a battle.

With the checker flag waiving, Collett easily took the win with Kevin Welsh second, Curt Michael delivered a strong third place finish as JJ Grasso and Randy West followed in the top five.

West turned in an impressive fifth place finish. Robbie Stillwaggon advanced fourteen spots in the feature and finished an impressive seventh. Chris Coyle, returning from a wild flip at the Bridgeport Speedway the week before, established fast time of the night in his heat race event. An oil leak forced Coyle to pit during his heat race, a bad start for the night. Coyle started deep in the feature starting field and still delivered a strong ninth place feature finish.

FEATURE FINISH: Justin Collett, Kevin Welsh, Curt Michael, JJ Grasso, Randy West, Trevor Lewis, Robbie Stillwaggon, Kramer Williamson, Chris Coyle, Nick Schlauch Jr., Kyle Purks, Scott Pursell, Eddie Wagner, Andy Best, Jonathan Swanson, Bill Urglert, Justin Jones, Kenny Meisner, Davey Sammons, Art Liedl, Mark Bitner, Kevin Darling, Kevin Nouse, Tim Iulg, DNQ- - Mike Kostic.

DON'T FORGET KRAMER WILLIAMSON, URC PLANS BIG NIGHT AT DELAWARE INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY

Some call him the Master, others call him Krafty Kramer and don't let the pink sprint car fool you. In any sprint car line-up, if the name Kramer Williamson is on the grid, butterflies could develop for all the other competitors. In sprint car racing, Kramer Williamson has pretty much done it all, including winning World of Outlaw feature events as well as the prestigious Williams Grove National Opener. On the Rislone URC Sprint Series, Williamson of Palmyra, PA is a three time URC Champion, taking the title in 1991, 1992 and again in 1995. Along the way, he collected sixty-six URC career victories, ranked fourth on the all time URC win list behind Glenn Fitzcharles, Dave Kelly and Buck Buckley.

Williamson brings a mix of "old world" racing and new age technology to URC. He'll be the first to say that the past several years have been a challenge, but he's optimistic about 2010 and making a return to the prestigious URC victory lane.

The new faces of URC have created quite a stir, bringing a stronger and at time, more aggressive style of driving. But for Williamson, it's really more of the same. In his career, he battled with the best and in fact, some of the very guys who wrote several pages in the "How to drive a sprint car" book. The WoO drivers have their style and of course, the PA Posse roster is a line-up of heroes and villains, add to that, Fitzcharles, Kelly, Buckley, Coverdale, Ely, Gollub and you pretty much cover the spectrum of talent.

Going into the Delaware International Speedway URC event on Saturday night, URC's heavy hitters include Trevor Lewis, opening day winner last Saturday night, defending champion JJ Grasso, the "thrill by the minute kid" Davey Sammons, six time champion Curt Michael and newly acquired Kevin Nouse. And this list could go on to include Randy West, Robbie Stillwaggon, Kyle Purks and Justin Collett. URC's roster has never been so jam packed with talent.

They'll all come together for race two of the Rislone URC Sprint Series Saturday night at the Delaware International Speedway. Gates open at 5 PM with race time set for 7 PM. The Delaware International Speedway is located on Route 13, Delmar, DE.

Lewis, along with the rest of URC's powerhouse teams will head to the Delaware International Speedway this Saturday night for race 2 of the 2010 Rislone Sprint Series.

Lewis was certainly the class act of the night but he'll have his challenges again this week. Davey Sammons was fast from his pole starting position, JJ Grasso made it as high as third from tenth and finished fourth. Kevin Nouse was on a charge and finished a strong fifth in the Elmer Stoltzfus sprinter. URC may very well have its best roster in years.

Kyle Purks just might shake off those mechanical issues of 2009, delivering a seventh Saturday night. Other top ten finishers include Kevin Darling, Justin Collett and Robbie Stillwaggon, all strong runners Saturday night.

Josh Weller of Mertztown, PA was in the field and finished tenth. Chris Coyle is feeling a little sore today after a wild crash in turn two on Saturday night.

TREVOR LEWIS THRILLS BIG BRIDGEPORT CROWD AT 2010 RISLONE URC SPRINT SEASON OPENER SATURDAY NIGHT

A big crowd turned out for URC's 63rd season opener on Saturday night at the Bridgeport Speedway and at the end of the night, Trevor Lewis of Upper Black Eddy, PA was in victory lane. For Lewis, it was his first win of the season and his seventeenth career win under the URC banner. A field of thirty URC sprint cars turned out for the season opener with heat race victories going to Davey Sammons, Chris Coyle and Trevor Lewis as Nick Schlauch won the "B" Main.

The twenty-five lap Rislone URC Sprint feature was a thriller as pole sitter Davey Sammons gunned into the lead at the drop of the green flag. Chris Coyle followed in second until lap three when Curt Michael powered the Bill Gallagher owned sprinter into second, quickly attempting to reel in the leader. Defending URC Champion JJ Grasso was on a charge after starting tenth, Grasso was in the top five by lap five.

Sammons used lapped traffic to his advantage and extended his lead over Michael who was staging a challenge to the leader on lap seven. Trevor Lewis hauling his way into the hunt was in chase of the leaders at the same time.

The red flag was displayed on lap nine for a spectacular crash involving Art Liedl and Chris Coyle. Liedl's car broke heading into turn one and Coyle had nowhere to go. The Dave Bett's owned #22 driven by Coyle flipped violently in turn two. Coyle of Wilmington, DE walked away uninjured.

On the restart, Sammons retained the lead spot with Curt Michael, Trevor Lewis and JJ Grasso moving in ever so closely with Randy West in fifth. The top five remained unchanged through the halfway point, but then things started to get real interesting.

Lewis moved the Scott McClaren owned #21 into second on lap fifteen, using the inside lane and went to work on chasing down the leader. On lap fifteen, the yellow was displayed for Nick Schlauch Jr who stopped on the track.

The restart triggered an awfully crowded first turn as Sammons, Lewis, Grasso and Curt Michael were in chase of the lead. With all the challenges, Sammons held on like a seasoned pro.

Mechanical problems with the Scott Pursell sprinter brought out the final caution of the feature event on lap twenty-one. The shootout to the finish was set and things got interesting. Lewis took to the inside lane to take the lead on lap twenty-one. Grasso passed Curt Michael for third and immediately began to challenge Sammons for second. Grasso took the inside lane and three quarters of the way down the backstretch, with the cars at top speed, Sammons and Grasso came together. As a result, the Palladino #99 shot to the infield. The entire time, Grasso maintained control of this sprinter, driving across the infield and re-entering the speedway between turns three and four. Grasso lost just one spot and left the crowd totally amazed with his outstanding recovery of what could have been a very scary crash.

For the final two laps, Lewis remained the leader with Sammons second. Curt Michael advanced one spot as a result of the Grasso near crash, finishing third. JJ Grasso finished an impressive fourth with Kevin Nouse in the Elmer Stoltzfus #00 finishing a solid fifth. Making up the top ten were Randy West, Kevin Darling, Kyle Purks, Justin Collett and Robbie Stillwaggon.

FEATURE FINISH: Trevor Lewis, Davey Sammons, Curt Michael, JJ Grasso, Kevin Nouse, Randy West, Kevin Darling, Kyle Purks, Justin Collett, Robbie Stillwaggon, Josh Weller, Kramer Wiliamson, Kenny Meisner, Eddie Wagner, Rory Janney, Tim Iulg, Kevin Welsh, Jimmy Stitzel, Scott Pursell, Nick Schlauch Jr., Jonathan Swanson, Chris Coyle, Art Liedl, Mike Kostic.

NEXT EVENT: Saturday, April 17 Delaware International Speedway

RISLONE URC SPRINT SERIES OPENER APPROACHING QUICKLY, . . . . . .GRASSO, SAMMONS, COYLE, MICHAEL & NOUSE WILL MAKE OPENING DAY INTERESTING

For the Rislone URC Sprint Series, their sixty-third season will open on Saturday night at the Bridgeport Speedway. While URC is rich in history, the drama of URC's "new wave" is about to unfold. The 2010 season, could very well be, the most competitive season ever for the traveling 360 sprints. The Rislone banner will fly high and proud as URC storms the Bridgeport Speedway on Saturday. This sprawling 5/8th mile is the fastest track on the URC tour and as a result, there is never a shortage for thrills and excitement. Action on Saturday night will take the first green flag at 6 PM.

All eyes will be on the "Jersey Jet" JJ Grasso as he straps into the cockpit of URC's most wanted ride, the Kathy and Pat Palladino BK Leasing #99. Hot off the 2009 Rislone URC Sprint Series Title, Grasso and Palladino will be looking for a repeat visit to the stage at the annual grand awards dinner in December. On his way to the title win, Grasso scored six feature victories in a season that delivered just nineteen point race events. Rain was not a friend to URC last year, claiming eight rain outs.

One of the most exciting stories of 2009 was Davey Sammons of Bordentown, NJ. Sammons was a contender with the drop of each green flag, taking two wins, one at the Grandview Speedway and the other at Delaware International. What's most impressive about Sammons is his never quite style. He just keeps fighting back harder and harder with each lap.

Chris Coyle of Wilmington, DE was not a feature winner in 2009, but he kept the Dave Betts owned URC sprinter in the thick of the battle and nestled tightly in the URC point chase the entire season. Coyle's view for 2010 is, "to win races and leave the point total on their own".

For at least the past twelve years, one name that continues to surface with URC is Curt Michael of Ocean View, DE. Michael is a six time URC champion, winning titles for five consecutive years from 2004-2008. Michael owns forty-two career URC wins and still has his eye on catching URC's all time feature winner, the now retired Glenn Fitzcharles with eighty-one career wins. Also ahead of Curt Michael is (retired) Dave Kelly with 76 career wins and Greg Coverdale of Milford, DE with forty-seven wins.

Another contender to watch this year is Kevin Nouse of Mechanicsburg, PA. Nouse, driving the Elmer and Rose Stoltzfus #00 was just getting dialed in at the end of the 2009 season, winning at the Bedford Speedway. This was the final race of the season as the final three scheduled URC shows were rained out.

The roster of talent in URC goes wide and deep and they'll all be at the Bridgeport Speedway on Saturday night, April 10.

Wagner's eye catching #70 finished 19th in the points standings, with his best finish, 6th, at Bedford Speedway. "A heat race win and 6th place feature finish at the year ending race at Bedford, gives me some more confidence for this season".

The Rislone URC Sprint Series for 2010 will get underway at the Bridgeport Speedway on Saturday night, April 10. Stoltzfus and Nouse will then officially unveil their #00 URC sprinter that will carry the Penn Waste Inc logo.

20TH ANNIVERSARY SEASON FOR BBJG, INC, CURT MICHAEL EYES ANOTHER URC TITLE

Bill Gallagher and the BBJG, Inc 5G sprint car team will enter their twentieth season 2010 and a big part of this year will find the team chasing the Rislone URC Sprint Championship title. Gallagher won his first Owner Title with URC in 2008 and he'll be shooting for another championship when the URC sprint series opens at the Bridgeport Speedway on Saturday night, April 10.

Curt Michael of Ocean View, DE will again pilot the familiar green #5G and he certainly knows how to win URC championships. After all, Michael is a six time URC Champion, claiming the titles in 1998 then again for a five year run from 2004 to 2008. In 2009, the title honors were won by JJ Grasso who dethroned the five consecutive year champion.

2010 will mark the third year that Curt Michael will drive the BBJG Inc. sprinter. "I'm looking forward to being a part of Bill's 20th year in racing," said Michael, the winner of six URC Championships and forty-two career victories under the URC banner. "There aren't too many owners in the sport for that length of time and as a driver, I appreciate that and I appreciate what Bill and his family have done for me. I hope we can have another good season together, go race and win as many as we can."

Sean Michael of Allentown, PA, Curt's older brother, will turn the wrenches on the #5G this season and has been hard at work putting the finishing touches on the cars and trailer. Sean is a former URC driver champion and feature winner as well. This combination of driving talent and mechanical ability along with the support from Bill Gallagher will make this team a strong contender in the title chase.

"Sean's hard at it in the shop and we're all looking forward to the year," Curt stated. "We've got all of our sponsors back again this season so it should be a good year."

Sponsors on the green sprinter include Valley Forge, Inc., GEI Enterprises, Inc. Heffner Racing Enterprises, Lelands.com, Kruger Trailers, Inc., K & N High Flow Filters, Harley Davidson of Seaford, Delaware, Louie's Pizza on the Boardwalk at Rehoboth Beach, Delaware and Liquid Lightening Energy Drink.

Michael will be one of many drivers in the run for the 2010 Rislone URC Championship. Everyone will have their eye on the "Jersey Jet", JJ Grasso and the BK Leasing #99. In 2009, this team turned URC upside down. Now with a new season approaching, the question is, was 2009 a fluke, or will we see more of the same in 2010?

Michael and Grasso are sure to feel the challenges of young gun Davey Sammons who finished second in the 2009 URC point chase. Sammons is shooting for nothing less then the title in 2010. Chris Coyle, a sleeper in the chase is expected to be in the thick of things as well. Coyle of Wilmington, DE finished third in point in 2009 with a victory. Coyle and car owner Dave Betts expect to be a little closer to the top of the point chase and plan to be a frequent visitor to the victory lane.

A busy Rislone URC sprint series will get underway at the Bridgeport Speedway and continue through October. As many as five increased special events will populate the schedule, offering one of the richest season long payoffs in URC history.

"Finishing in the top-10 the last two races of the season along with four heat race wins ended our rookie year on a positive note," said Swanson. "With the knowledge and experience that I gained last season, I look forward to better finishes and hopefully a couple of trips to victory lane." "Winning is everything in racing and I want to achieve that." said Swanson. "With the high level of competition, I know that is going to be tough. My focus this season will be attending all of the URC races and gaining even more knowledge and experience to achieve my goals." Like the family oriented atmosphere of the URC Series, Swanson's team is family operated. Jonathan, his crew chief Howard Swanson, and crewmembers Dave and Susan Swanson have been busy preparing two J&J Chassis and Kriner engine cars for the 2010 season.

KEN MEISNER EYES VISIT TO URC VICTORY LANE IN 2010

Ken Meisner of Chesterfield, NJ enjoyed his first season with the United Racing Company in 2009 and he's looking to apply all his learning's when the 2010 Rislone URC Sprint Series swings into action at their season opener at the Bridgeport Speedway on Saturday, April 10. Meisner was a strong rookie contender and a great addition to the URC ranks. He learned a lot about set-ups and racing in general, after visiting all the tracks on the URC tour in 2009. The Meisner name is rich in dirt track racing history and this could be a breakout year for Kenny.

" There are many things that I changed with the car this year that I think will benefit to better performances. I started late last season and everything was rushed to get the car finished, because of that I think a lot of things were overlooked. This year will be a fresh start where I can be better prepared for every track and know what to expect. I really enjoyed the transition from a modified to running a sprint car on the URC tour. The speeds are much faster and the handling is more responsive. It was also a warm welcoming from the URC members and drivers where they did a lot to help you get started", commented Meisner.

"We will be running a Maxim chassis again powered by CP racing engines", stated Meisner. Crew Chief Jason Sosnoski is no stranger to URC as he previously wrenched for Bostic Motorsports back when Mike Haggenbottom was the driver. "I am looking forward to coming on board as crew chief for Meisner Motorsports, and I'm very optimistic what the season will have in store for us", added Sosnoski.

Along with Jason, the pit crew will also include Tommy Pelke, Phil Meisner Jr. an Phil Meisner. The sponsor list for the Ken Meisner racing team will include Carstar Quality Collision Services, CP Racing Engines, Aaron McGrady, Powtek Powder Coatings and Shakey Designs.

Meisner will be in the field when URC opens their sixty-third season at Bridgeport. An all star cast will fill the pits and leading the way is JJ Grasso driving the Palladino Motorsports BK Leasing #99. Grasso, "the Jersey Jet" is the defending URC champion, coming off a sensational year in 2009. Multi-time champion Curt Michael will be in the field along with Kramer Williamson, Kevin Nouse, Art Liedl, Nick Schlauch, Robbie Stillwaggon, Scott Pursell and Mark Bitner just to name a few.

YOUNG GUN DAVEY SAMMONS EYES URC CHAMPIONSHIP IN 2010

At age twenty-one, Davey Sammons of Bordentown, NJ has his racing career going in the right direction. In 2006, Sammons jumped behind the wheel of URC sprint car and successfully launched his sprint car driving career. In just his second season with URC, Sammons pulled off a dramatic victory at the Delaware International Speedway and finished a solid fifth in the point chase. The 2008 URC season for Sammons did not have all the glitter, but he did deliver a very respectful ninth in the always competitive Rislone URC Sprint point chase. The key of 2008 was the learning, knowledge and experience he gather, all the right things that placed this youthful contender in the heat of the battle for the 2009 URC Champion chase.

Sammons closed out the year with two very impressive victories, bumping his URC feature win career total to three and earning him the runner-up spot in the Rislone point battle. Sammons finished second to first time URC Champion JJ Grasso, but he was in the hunt the entire season. Sammons kept the heat on Grasso going right into the final events. Unfortunately, rain forced the cancellation of the final three URC shows of the season.

The 2010 holds much excitement for Davey Sammons and his team. "As a team, we want to win races. Our goal is to win as many races as we can and hopefully the championship will come with that", said an excited and determined Sammons.

There is no doubt that the winter has been cold and long and the start of the racing season is just around the corner. Davey added, "I’m looking forward to getting started the season at Bridgeport in April. I think this season will be the most competitive season in URC since I have been racing with the series. Last year when the season ended I was not ready for it to be over, all winter I have been anxious to get back on the track. I think our secret to winning the championship is to go out and try to win every race we compete in. Our main goal is to win races so we won’t be focusing on the championship all that much".

Sponsors always play a big part in any race team and for the Sammons #79, the story is no different. Art's Radiator, Behrent's Performance Warehouse, Bogg's Auto Collision Rebuilders, Bob Hilbert Sportswear, DMI, Palmco Race Car Repair, Pete Sack's Baby Huey Express, PowTec Powder Coating, Encon Heating and Air Conditioning and VP Racing Fuel are the sponsors who help make this all happen. While Davey is planted in the driver's seat, his hard working and dedicated crew is maintaining the sprint car. The Crew Members include CJ Dixon, Wayne Pullen, Danny Sammons and John Snook.

Sammons is well aware of the competition and challengers he will face in the weekly URC line-up. " I believe my biggest challengers this year will be similar to last season. I’m sure JJ Grasso and Pat Palladino will be strong again, and Curt Michael, working with his brother Sean, will be stronger then ever and Chris Coyle is always right at the top every week", said Sammons.

The Rislone URC Sprint Series will open at the Bridgeport Speedway on Saturday night, April 10 with race time set for 6 pm. This will mark the sixty-third season for the United Racing Company sprint cars. More information on URC is available at : www.urcsprints.com

PINK PANTHER ON THE PROWL, VETERAN SPRINT DRIVER KRAMER WILLIAMSON PLANS RETURN TO URC IN 2010

At age 59, Kramer Williamson of Palmyra, PA is a well accomplished sprint car driver, but his career is not over yet. Williamson, the winner of sixty-seven URC sprint car features and a long, long list of victories and championships in the Central PA 410 Sprint Car ranks, will be back in action with the Rislone URC Sprint Series this season. Along with his feature win list, Kramer was the URC Champion in 1991, 1992 and in 1995. In 1991 and '95, he earned the URC Triple Crown Championship as well.

The long list of accomplishments strongly establishes his success as a sprint car driver. As an individual, he is always willing to help a fellow competitor, he enjoys having fun at the track and his pink panther #73 is a long established icon in sprint car racing. To a new or first time race fan, the pink sprint car is eye catching and usually quickly captures the new race fans.

"If you aren't having fun then it's time to quit" said the popular Williamson as he reflected on his long and successful career. Kramer, his family and crew are still having fun so that's why he continues to race. The team goal for 2010 is to "win races and have fun"!

Kramer is also unique as he builds his own chassis, well known in the area as the Kramer Kraft. The pink panther will roar with a Rider engine and will sport sponsorship from Armorboard Packaging, Boyer Signs, TRADES and Hank's Performance Parts. On race night, the crew includes Crew Chief Darren Schott and Kurt Williamson along with Cliffy Irvin, Chris Gustin, Mike Miller, Chris Bashore, Felecia Williamson and wife Sharon Williamson.

"The URC Competition is tough. When I won the Central PA championships in 1976, 1978 the competition back then was really tough and you relied on set ups, the crew chief, and driver experience. Nowadays, another key perk to being successful is having a financial advantage. Being able to have lots of resources ensures a fast racecar week in and week out. I would say URC Competition is as hard today as it was in my Central PA racing days. My sponsors are really great with helping me out but I am always looking for additional sponsorships. Hopefully this year, we will be very competitive and be part of the tough competition in URC," commented Williamson.

Just a reminder that the Clarion Hotel in New Castle, DE will host the URC Spring Competitors Meetings on Sunday, March 14 starting at 1 PM. Prior to the Competitors Meeting, a special Rookie Driver Orientation will take place starting at 12 Noon. Rookie drivers planning to compete with URC in 2010, are encouraged to attend the Rookie Orientation that reviews in detail, race procedures, handicapping, on the track and pit side conduct.

NICK SCHLAUCH JR PLANS BIG RETURN TO URC IN 2010

Youthful and talented Nick Schlauch Jr. of Holland, PA will be returning to complete in the 2010 Rislone URC Sprint Series. Schlauch Jr. and his 38n Motorsports team will start the season with a pair of Maxim sprint cars powered by Don Ott Engines. "A goal for the team will be to make every URC event in the coming season and collect valuable points in the chase for the championship title. "We've worked hard over the winter putting together equipment so we can make all the URC races this season", commented Schlauch Jr.

Schlauch Jr. enjoyed a very successful season with URC in 2009, nearly winning a couple of feature events. He finished sixth in the highly competitive season long point battle, missing a top five point finish by just four points. Schlauch Jr also finished fifth in the Taylor & Messick Delaware State Sprint Series and a solid third in the season long Valley Forge INC Pennsylvania Sprint Series.

The coming season for the 38n team is possible as a result of a strong sponsorship support that includes Livingston Lawn Care, S&S Tire and Auto, Coastal Radiator, Don Ott Racing Engines, SC Signs and Design, WRT Web Design, DA's Auto Body, Robison Racing Products, GME Steerings, Penske Shocks, Wings Unlimited, The Joie of Seating of Keizer Wheels.

The two near victories in '09 for Schlauch Jr came at two different tracks. At the Lincoln Speedway, the run was a real heart breaker with Trevor Lewis beating out Nick for the win in the final laps. At the Georgetown Speedway, the show was a real pick me up as Schlauch. In the final laps of the feature, Nick caught race leader Curt Michael and as he challenged for the lead, he also had to hold off the challenges of a charging JJ Grasso. In one of his most impressive rides, Nick Schlauch Jr
ended a late summer run of bad luck to finish second.

There is no doubt that Nick Schlauch Jr. has some natural sprint car driving talent. One of his biggest accomplishments of 2009 is that fact that Nick has never seen or raced at eight of the tracks on the URC schedule that season, but he adapted and, adapted very well.

We really enjoy racing with URC, the official's were both friendly and helpful to us. Traveling the tour you really do form a camaraderie with a lot of the other teams and the different tracks, really help me develop as a driver. URC is a great fin for our team", said Schlauch Jr.

The goal for the Nick Schlauch Jr in 2010 is pretty simple, they want to win races. They have mastered their note taking and their tips from 2009 will make them an even better team in 2010.

"URC has some of the toughest 360 competition anywhere with JJ Grasso, Davey Sammons, Curt Michaels, Trevor Lewis, and a lot of other tough racers. I know I have my work cut out for me but I know I'm up for the challenge", added Schlauch Jr.

The 2010 Rislone URC Sprint Series will open on Saturday, April 10 at the Bridgeport Speedway and continue on Saturday, April 17 at the Delaware International Speedway.
