JOSH WELLER REFLECTS ON 2011, PLANS STILL UNCERTAIN FOR 2012, CHRIS WEISS LOOKS TO RUN ENTIRE 2012 RISLONE URC SPRINT SERIES

The "Wild Child" Josh Weller reflects on the 2011 Rislone URC Sprint Series that saw him score one feature win and finish an impressive third in the overall point chase. Weller's victory came at the New Egypt Speedway driving his family owned #63. Later in the season, Weller filled the seat of the Kathy and Pat Palladino #99 and delivered solid performances that earned Josh a third place finish in the driver point chase.

A big disappointment for the Weller/Palladino Team came at the September 4 Georgetown Speedway event. While leading, the nose wing mount broke on the #99, slowing the car dramatically with the possible feature win going right out the window. Weller certainly wanted to give the Palladino's that big win in the first state.

At present, with the Palladino Team announcing that they will park their car for most of the season, Weller is now ride or sponsor hunting to get the family owned #63 back on the track and in contention to chase down that coveted 2012 Rislone URC Sprint Series Championship.

For Josh Weller 2011 also marked the birth of their first child, a daughter Aubrey. In review of his favorite tracks, Weller commented. "Grandview is my type of track especially when the track slicks off. I like small quick race tracks that seem to take a little more self control to do well. We have always seemed to shine on slick more technical tracks, but Grandview has always been one of my favorites". Weller added, "Grandview is also my home track and I have lots of friends, fans and family at the track. I have also run more races there then I have at other tracks, running the Thunder races with the WOO, USAC and other non-sanctioned 410 races."

Weller is without a doubt, one of URC's top contenders always clean on the track and professional with his pit side conduct and always displays great fan appeal.

JC Motorsports and Chris Weiss of East Texas, PA announced today that they do plan on running the entire 2012 Rislone URC Sprint Series.

Weiss is pleased to announce that TnT Scrap Metal of Brooklyn, NY, Cargo Trailers in Lansdale and Trio Provisions & Smokehaus in East Texas, PA will be their sponsor for 2012. Engines and machine work is being done by Bob Silfies of Silfies Race Engines in Easton, PA Paint and vinyl is provided by Bruce Bowen of Bowen Signs and Lettering. Associate sponsors include Simpson, CFI Fiberglass in Hanover, PA, RAACE, Hoffman Speed Supplies in New Tripoli, PA, Ultra Shield Race Products and GME Steerings in New Ringgold's, PA.

URC will kick off their 2012 Rislone URC Sprint Series at the Delaware International Speedway on Saturday night, April 28.

License applications for membership are available on the website as well as the complete schedule of events. Please visit us at www.urcsprints.com

Winner of the 2011 Rislone URC Sprint Series $4,000 to win season finale at the Grandview Speedway, driver/car owner Ed Aikin is pleased to announce three new sponsors coming on-board in the new season. Viper Venom Fuels, Chips Auto Center of Pennsville, NJ and J&M Custom powder coating of Honeybrook, PA will be a sponsor for Aikin in 2012. Aikin of Lincoln University, PA is a six time Rislone URC Sprint feature winner is looking to win features this year and hopes to be in a position to contend for the URC season long championship.

The Rislone URC Sprint Series will open at the Delaware International Speedway on Saturday night, April 28 Special events are quickly filling the schedule and include the $3,500 to win Jack Gunn Memorial to take place at the Selinsgrove Speedway on Saturday, May 12 and the Rislone Nationals paying $5,000 to win at the Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night, August 3rd. Pioneer Pole Buildings is also returning as a sponsor of the season finale at Grandview on Saturday night, October 13 offering $3,000 to the winner of the 25 lap feature event.

Thanks to American Racer and support from Rislone, URC competitors will enjoy very attractive tire pricing. An American Racer right rear will sell for $159, the left rear for $155 and fronts may be purchased for $138, unheard of pricing for sprint car tires today. Adjusting the tire pricing with some of the Rislone URC point fund money will help all our competitors throughout the entire Rislone URC Sprint Series.

Paul Messick of Viper Venom Fuels will be returning to URC in 2012 offering a free drum of Viper Fuel to the feature winner if they are using the product. This program will be offered throughout the season for all URC events in 2012 and is limited to one free drum per team. Viper Fuel offers 99.99% pure methanol for $135 per fifty-five gallon drum and is available by contacting Paul Messick at 302-757-6918 or by e-mail at sales@vipervenomfuels.com.

The feature winner will receive their free drum of Viper Fuel when arranging their next purchase of fuel. "We gained a lot of exposure working with URC in the past and look forward to another great season", said Messick.

URC will open their 2012 Rislone Sprint Series at the Delaware International Speedway on Saturday, April 28. The Potomac (MD) and Winchester (VA) Speedway's are new stops on the schedule for URC in the coming season. Last year marked the return to the Port Royal Speedway for URC, unfortunately bad weather forced the cancellation of that event, Port Royal is back on URC's schedule for 2012 on Saturday night, August 25.

Special events already on the schedule include the $3,500 to win Jack Gunn Memorial to take place at the Selinsgrove Speedway on Saturday, May 12 and the Rislone Nationals paying $5,000 to win at the Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night, August 3rd. Pioneer Pole Buildings is also returning as a sponsor of the season finale at Grandview on Saturday night, October 13 offering $3,000 to the winner of the 25 lap feature event.

At this time, URC is not looking to add more dates to the 2012 schedule, but we are working at increasing the payoff at two of the existing events. Feedback over the past weekend was positive that our schedule is offering the right number of events for our competitors based on the economy and expected travel expenses in the new season. The obvious decline in race dates is due to less shows at the Delaware International Speedway and the missing dates from Georgetown and Rolling Wheels.

All regular URC sprint features pay $2,000 to the winner with several higher paying events throughout the season. In 2011, URC paid out during the season $15,000 through the Rislone Loyalty Program, rewarding car owners for their weekly support and loyalty. Similar programs are being arranged for the coming season and will be announced over the next few weeks.

Another incentive offered to URC competitors in the coming season is the tire pricing. Thanks to American Racer and support from Rislone, URC competitors will be paying an all time lowest cost for their tires. An American Racer right rear will sell for $159, the left rear for $155 and fronts may be purchased for $138, unheard of pricing for sprint car tires today. Adjusting the tire pricing with some of the Rislone URC point fund money will help all our competitors throughout the entire Rislone URC Sprint Series.

For the race fans, URC will spice up the program by using the Delaware Start for all original starts and restarts up to, two laps to go. The Delaware State will feature the pole car all alone on the front row with the rest of the field double file. This is expected to provide more passing and offer drivers who start deep in the pack, an opportunity to be in contention for the lead in the late stages of the race.

Youthful and always exciting Robbie Stillwaggon may have had the drive of his career in the 2011 Rislone URC Sprint Series season finale at the Grandview Speedway.

In the late stages of the twenty-five lap feature on the Pennsylvania short track "bull ring", Stillwaggon was on a charge. Front row starters Ed Aikin and Dave Ely were in an exciting dual for the lead through most of the race as the Burlington, NJ driver was clawing his way to the front. With just five laps remaining, the twenty-three year old Stillwaggon had caught the leaders. After passing Dave Ely for second, Stillwaggon began to reel in race leader Ed Aikin, but ran short of time. Never-the-less, it was one of the most exciting performances by Stillwaggon, as he delivered a near perfect ride to finished second.

Without a doubt, it was a great way to end the season for the Stillwaggon team and the excitement and energy of that strong run will carry them through the off season as they anticipate the Rislone URC Sprint Series season opener. "Grandview was a great run for our team! It is a track that we usually struggle at, so to pass cars and get to the front was a lot of fun. Unfortunately we came up a little short which makes it tough, but we're confident we can carry that momentum into the 2012 season.".

Robbie came to URC in 2006 and just one year later, he scored his first career win, taking the victory at the Delaware International Speedway. His second win came in 2009, parking the Fred Kennedy owned sprint car in the historic Williams Grove victory lane, a track every sprint car driver wants to one at. Since 2009, Stillwaggon has been shut out of a victory, but just like that last race of the season at Grandview, he has come close on several occasions.

Like any Rislone URC Sprint Series competitor, Robbie wants to wins races and at the same time, keep their eye on the goal of the URC Championship title. "To win the URC title, you need to have consistently good runs and have little to no DNF's," stated Stillwaggon who is 2012, has set a goal to win features. "We need to win 2012. We finished second quite a few times in 2011, but just couldn't pull off the win so that's the ultimate goal this year. We're going to take the season race by race and hopefully get to victory lane." Stillwaggon added, "Like in 2011, solid finishes will also keep us in point chase as well for the coming year."

Stillwaggon drives the sprint car that is owned by Fred Kennedy, and family plays a big part in this team at every race. Bob and Melanie Stillwaggon, Robbie's parents never miss a race and play a key part in preparation, set-up and confidence building, with every race and at every track. The crew is made up of Ryan, Mikey, John, Wawa, Ole Guy and Johnny G and if you stand back and watch them in action, you would think they all have a financial interest in the team, they just work that hard. The Kennedy owned sprinter sports a J&J Chassis that is powered by a WesMar power plant.

2012 is just around the corner and the Stillwaggon team is ready. When asked what track is his favorite, Robbie was quick to reply, "Any track that's fast".

The 2012 Rislone URC Sprint Series schedule will be released next weekend. Dates are already confirmed at Delaware International, New Egypt, Grandview, Lincoln, Williams Grove, Selinsgrove, Port Royal, Big Diamond, Potomac, Winchester, VA and the Black Rock Speedway. Approximately four additional race dates are being discussed at this time. Visit the URC website for the latest news at: www.urcsprints.com

RANDY WEST LOOKS TO EARN FRED KENNEDY A LONG OVER DUE URC OWNER CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE

Forty-three year old Randy West of Boyertown, PA has been around the block more then a few times. He understands racing as its' been a big part of his life, day after day.

West enjoyed success in the sports at various levels and coming off the 2011 Rislone URC Sprint Series, it was certainly one of his best seasons. Driving for respected car owner Fred Kennedy, this is a rather dynamic team and watching them interact, along with their team, you sense a feeling of calm, serious and, the competitive drive to win. What's more remarkable is, when the night doesn't unfold quite the way they planned, the team laughs and still has a good time, shaking it off with a plan to. . ."we'll get'em next week". "Fred and I only go to the races to have fun. If you spend that kind of time and that much money, at the end of most nights, you better have a smile on your face", added West.

Fred Kennedy, a successful former stock car and sprint driver himself, does a lot for the sport. His sponsorship contributions to various race teams, support of different divisions and URC is noticeable. Beyond the financial piece, Fred Kennedy often provides the voice of reason to work though what could be possible challenging situations. Fred knows what it takes to be in all the various roles from driver, owner, crew member and even a race official. He has done it all and brings that knowledge and experience to every discussion.

In 2012, Randy West would like nothing more then to bring home the URC Owner Championship for Fred Kennedy.

"Our season last year went real well and seemed to slip a little at the end, when we started using a different car", said West. "We just could not find the right set-up in that car to make me comfortable". In the course of the 2011 Rislone Sprint Series, Randy West was a two time feature winner, taking victories at the Georgetown Speedway on July 1 and the Delaware International on July 30. West closed out the year with a fourth place finish in the overall Rislone Championship Series point chase, a career high accomplishment. West and Kennedy also won the Taylor & Messick Delaware State Sprint Series, a mini-point series within the season long Rislone title run.

Randy and Fred appreciate their crew, without them, racing at this level would just not be possible. The crew includes Randy Wilbert, John Griffiths, Alonzo Morales, Jenn West and Randy's biggest fan, his son Cody West. The list of sponsors includes Fred's Trailer Parts, Mini-Crete, Delran Auto Body, West Fabrication, Simpson, Rod End Supply, Winters, The Brake Man, Robinson Racing Products and Keizer Wheels. For 2012, the West/Kennedy Team has an arsenal of three 360 motors now being freshened by Yardley Racing Engine, Speed Equipment, and Ayers Racing Engines. The motors will get dropped into two J&J chassis and they'll be set for the coming year.

Why is it so hard for a driver to score multiple wins in URC? "The competition in URC is second to none. Even though car count is down from previous years, the good cars are still racing weekly. Drivers with multiple wins, are usually racing weekly at the same track, we really don't race at any one track enough times for someone to be dominant. You also have to look at percentages, the drivers that are winning a lot are also racing a lot more then most of the URC drivers. What I would like to see is a 360/358 Challenge race at Delaware International and I'm sure the outcome would be that the URC drivers would dominate", stated West.

"I think it would be great if the #56 or the #89 sprint car could give Fred Kennedy his first, long overdue URC Owner Championship. He has been a great car owner, sponsor, and supporter of URC for many non-stop years". West continued to say, "When I first ran URC in 2003, I viewed Fred's car as one that I wanted to drive before I quit driving, and I find it an honor to now be in my fourth year of driving for Fred, it can't get much better then this".

The 2012 URC opener is set for the Delaware International Speedway on Saturday, April 14.

At age 32, Dover, PA sprint car driver Chad Trout announced today his plans to compete on the 2012 Rislone URC Sprint Series.

Trout owns fourteen 358 sprint car victories in his career, collecting wins at tracks like Lincoln, Port Royal and Williams Grove. He competed weekly at what could very well be the toughest sprint car tracks in the county and now he's taking on the Rislone URC Series. All three tracks have race dates booked for 2012 with the United Racing Company, so Trout will be very comfortable when he rolls in to these three tracks. When asked why he plans to run URC, Trout responded, " I think URC give a fair payout and does more to help the racers then any other organization".

Trout is the owner of his sprint car that will carry the number 7C. Sponsorship support for Trout Racing includes Jiffy Lube of Mechanicsburg and Carlisle, PA, Marlowe's Metal Fabricating, Travis Racing Engines and Lee Components. Trout's favorite track is, "Anyone that I can win at", a fairly typical answer from any sprint car driver.

The United Racing Company is proud to have Chad Trout join their roster for the coming season. There is no doubt that URC has turned up the heat on competition over the past few years. With higher purses through special events, bonus money and an attractive point fund payout, URC is catching the eye of drivers and owners looking for an attractive payout and an alternative to the 410 sprints.

You have to race hard and beat the best if you're looking for that big payday. Competition remains tough in URC and that is demonstrated by URC having numerous winners and very few drivers that could win more then three races last season. In 2011, twenty-two Rislone URC events took place and delivered fourteen different winners. Five drivers scored double victories including Ed Aikin, Curt Michael, Daryn Pittman, Randy West and Dave Ely. JJ Grasso was the only driver to score four wins in 2011. URC had four drivers who scored their first career win on the Rislone URC Sprint tour and the list includes Daryn Pittman, Shane Stewart, Davie Franek and Canadian sprint car driver Steve Poirier.

Three rookie drivers have already registered to chase the URC Rookie of the Year Title including Dan Mazy of Alburtis, PA, Steve Downs of Georgetown, DE and Chris Glenden of Delmar, DE.

Expected top contenders planning to run the Rislone URC Series in 2012 include Ed Aikin, Josh Weller, Robbie Stillwaggon, Randy West, Kramer Williamson, Jonathan Swanson, Joey Biasi, 2011 URC Rookie of the Year Troy Betts, Art Liedl, Tim Hogue and Andy Best.

URC is a tough place to race and we have no plans to change that, in fact, " Where URC is concerned, We don't make winning easy" !

ED AIKIN PLANS TO WIN RACES IN 2012 AND SEE IF THAT LEADS HIM TO A URC CHAMPIONSHIP

Ed Aikin of Lincoln Park University, PA was victorious in one of URC's richest paying events of 2011, winning the Rislone URC season finale at the Grandview Speedway on October 15. The event was sponsored by Pioneer Pole Buildings, INC with a $1,000 bonus added by Viper-Venom Fuels and Aikin cashed a check for $4,000. It was not an easy win as Aikin and Dave Ely exchanged the lead numerous times, as Robbie Stillwaggon began reeling in the leaders in the final laps. Stillwaggon passed Ely for second but ran short of time to challenge Aikin for the win. The victory for Aikin was a thrill, not only winning at his home track, but the lucrative winner's share will be key in providing his team the necessary funds to prep for 2012. "That win meant everything! . . . . we are going to take it one race at a time and just try to win races, we'll see where we are in the standings in July and go from there", commented Aikin, owner of six career Rislone URC feature wins.

In 2011, Aikin delivered a strong season on the strength of two wins and a twelfth place finish in the point chase. "I feel I have the best crew chief around, that being Brian Seidel", added Aikin. Seidel, a former URC driver champion knows well the tracks where URC visits and is very familiar with hitting the right set-up. Joining Seidel on the Aikin Team are crew members Steve Taylor, George Loux and Mike Krewson. The Maxim Chassis Don Ott powered Aikin machine will carry sponsorship from BRB Site Contractors, TANRACINGCOLLECTIBLESONLINE.COM, CnB Mushrooms and Atlantic Speed along product sponsors Radical Design, Don Ott, VRP Shocks, DMI and SDS Web Creations.

On August 3rd, 2007, Ed Aikin scored what possibly could be the biggest win of his career, winning the Rislone Nationals at the prestigious Williams Grove Speedway. Winning at the Grove, collecting the $4,000 payday and beating some of the best sprint car drivers in the business, move this victory to the top of his career win list. Since the Rislone Nationals started in 2006, Aikin is the only URC regular to win this national event. Past winners include Pat Cannon 2006, Ed Aikin 2007, Kenny Adams 2008, Aaron Ott 2009, Daryn Pittman 2010 and Lance Dewease was the 2011 winner. When asked if this was his biggest accomplishment in racing, Ed Aikin quickly replied, "Absolutely! It doesn't get any better then winning at the Grove and beating a field of fifty-eight sprint cars that year".

The United Racing Company made some changes at mid-season 2011, first, to pay out in two increments, over $15,000 cash in a Rislone Loyalty Program, and to cancel their prestigious annual awards banquet. The ultimate goal was to get the point fund money in the hands of the competitors as soon as possible and so the teams could avoid the cost of attending the banquet. "Being a low to no budget team, I fully understand what URC is trying to do and I support anything that can save all the teams money in this economy. However, any team that works hard enough all year to win the very tough championship, would be a little disappointed that they could not celebrate their accomplishment," added Aikin.

The Rislone URC Sprint Series for 2012 is set to open at the Delaware International Speedway on Saturday night, April 14.

The 65th season of the United Racing Company is quickly approaching with the calendar changing to 2012.

Returning as the URC Tour Sponsor will be Rislone, a long time supporter of this popular 360 sprint car group in the Northeast. URC competitors will chase several lucrative payoffs that include the $3,000 to win Bar's Leaks National to take place at the New Egypt Speedway on Saturday, July 7 along with the $5,000 to win Rislone Nationals set for the Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night, August 3rd. The season finale and final point race of the year will again take place at the Grandview Speedway with the 25 lap Pioneer Pole Buildings $3,000 to win feature. Several other increased paying events are currently in the planning stages as well.

Rookie interest is certainly high heading into 2012 with new talent like David Swanson, brother of Jonathan Swanson. Don Mazy, Chris Glenden and Delaware modified driver Steve Downs are all looking at the prestigious URC Rookie of the Year honors.

The Rislone URC schedule currently has race dates at the Delaware International Speedway, Williams Grove, New Egypt, Grandview, Big Diamond, Port Royal and Selinsgrove Speedway with dates being discussed at the Lincoln Speedway and several other tracks.

URC is offering very attractive tire pricing 2012, thanks to American Racer and a portion of the Rislone sponsorship contribution. A right rear tire will sell for $159, the left rear tires are $155 and $138 for front tires. The support of the Rislone funds towards the attractive tire pricing is designed to keep race teams "racing" all season long.

A new twist in 2012 for URC is instituting the Delaware Start on a weekly basis. All original starts and all restarts up to, two laps to go will offer the Delaware Start, where the pole car sits along in the first row and all other cars are double-file. The restarts should certainly be more exciting and offer more late race passes and thrilling feature finishes.

The Rislone URC Sprint Series will be present at the 2012 Motorsports Race Car &Trade Show in Oaks, PA January 20,21 and 22. Look for the large Rislone bottle and you'll find the URC booth along with the showcased sprint cars of Robbie Stillwaggon and Ed Aikin. In 2012, Stillwaggon and Aikin are expected to be strong contenders for the series championship and both already have their eye on the high paying events. Aikin won the PBB race at the season finale at Grandview with Robbie Stillwaggon scoring an impressive second place finish after his late race charge.

AMERICAN RACER TIRE RETURNS TO URC WITH GREAT PRICING, RULES TWEAKED, SCHEDULING UNDERWAY AND URC HALL OF FAME ENTIRES ANNOUNCED

Plans for the 2012 Rislone URC Sprint Series are well underway and a big announcement includes the return of American Racer as the official tire of URC. Some great pricing is being offered with URC using a portion of their sponsorship revenue to offset the tire cost. URC Managing Member John Zimmerman worked out the tire prices for 2012 which includes $159 for right rears, $155 for left rears and $138 for all front tires. "By using URC sponsorship revenue to offset the tire pricing, all teams will benefit all season long, and at a time when the car owners will benefit and offset the nightly cost, commented Zimmerman. During the second half of the 2011 URC season, Managing Member Cher Zimmerman spent time with each URC team to gather suggestions on possible cost savings in reference to car specifications. After much review and discussion, the following changes were decided.

Managing Member Bob Miller is already working on the 2012 schedule of events that includes two visits to both Big Diamond and Port Royal. URC is planning events at the Delaware International Speedway along with Bridgeport, Georgetown, New Egypt, Grandview Lincoln, Williams Grove, Selinsgrove, Black Rock and the Rolling Wheels Raceway. There is consideration of some possible non-wing events as well. A new twist in 2011 for URC is instituting the Delaware Start on a weekly basis. All original starts and all restarts up to, two laps to go will offer the Delaware Start where the pole car sits along in the first row and all other cars are double-file. The reason for this change is to promote more passing and to provide drivers who start deep in the pack the opportunity to advance to the front with exciting finishes to be the outcome. Numerous special and higher paying events will again be part of the 2012 Rislone URC Sprint Series schedule of events.

In 2010, the United Racing Company formed the URC Hall of Fame and in 2011, we are pleased to add the following dignitary's to list of all time greats that have contributed to the success of URC. The inductees for 2011 include Dave Kelly, Buck Buckley, Bert Brooks, Scats Anfuso, Louie Kunz and Buzz Rose.

Plan to see the United Racing Company at many of the off season car and trade show events. Visit our website for all the latest updates. www.urcsprints.com

ED AIKIN POCKETS $4,000 FOR PPB/VIPER-VENOM URC FEATURE WIN SATURDAY NIGHT AT GRANDVIEW. . . CURT MICHAEL SECURES EIGHTH URC CHAMPIONSHP, URC DISTRIBUTRES $57,400 IN CASH PLUS $15,000 IN CONTINGENCY AWARDS FOR SEASON LONG EFFORTS

The Rislone URC Sprints were part of a big season finale event Saturday night at the Grandview Speedway, taking part in the Grandview Thunder 5-25's. The final race of URC's 2011 offer an increased payoff thanks to the sponsorship support for Pioneer Pole Buildings (PPB) and Viper-Venom. The top twenty URC drivers in points were eligible for the URC feature only with the top twelve in points inverted. At the end of a thrilling twenty-five lap feature, Ed Aikin who started on the pole captured the feature win worth $4,000. In the season long Rislone URC point chase, it was Ocean View, DE driver Curt Michael securing his eighth championship. Michael started eleventh in the main event and avoided any potential landmines to finish ninth and nail down the coveted URC title. The PPB/Viper Venom feature was also part of the Valley Forge Inc Pennsylvania Sprint Series and at the drop of the green flag, of the twenty-five lap feature it was Ed Aikin who took the lead with Dave Ely in second and challenging. Aikin could not get away from Ely and on lap five, Ely became the new leader. Aikin refused to give up and challenged for the lead once again. On lap ten, Aikin took back the lead but Ely was not going to close the books on this race.

At the halfway mark, Aikin, Ely and Robbie Stillwaggon were the top three with Rory Janney and Josh Weller in the top five. Ely reeled in Aikin once again and on lap twenty-two, it was two car race. The first and only caution of the race was displayed on lap twenty-three when Jeff Fifthian spun in two one. On the restart and with just two laps remaining, Ely gave it all he had going into turn one and as the two charged out of turn two, Ed Aikin nosed ahead. Suddenly, Robbie Stillwaggon moved into the picture and he was challenging Ely for second.

With the checker flag waiving, Aikin took the URC win sponsored by Pioneer Pole Building. A near dead heat finish saw Robbie Stillwaggon earn second with Dave Ely third, Rory Janney was fourth and JJ Grasso fifth.

For Curt Michael it was his eighth URC championship and for car owner Billy Gallagher, it marked his third URC Owner Championship. For Gallagher of Valley Forge, it was very rewarding to clinch the title before a local crowed.

Aikin earned in total $4,050 for the win, collecting a $1,000 bonus from Paul Messick of Viper-Venom Racing Fuels and additional $50 for the LikeWise fast time award. JJ Grasso was the Fred's Trailer Parts Hard Charger of the race advancing seven spots. Grasso was the only driver within striking distance of offering Curt Michael a challenge for the title but came up short even after a strong twelfth to fifth run in the URC feature Saturday night. Grasso missed one race over the course of the URC season.

CURT MICHAEL LEADS RISLONE URC POINT CHASE WITH THREE EVENTS REMAINING IN 2011

The 2011 RISLONE URC point chase is building for another exciting finish. With just three point races remaining, seven time URC Champion Curt Michael of Ocean View, DE is in chase of his eight championship title. Michael leads the title chase by sixty-five points over JJ Grasso. Riding in third is Josh Weller, just one-hundred and sixteen points behind Grasso. Randy West and Robbie Stillwaggon round out the top five in points and are both enjoying one of their best seasons yet. West is a two time winner with URC this season as Stillwaggon is chasing his first win of 2011.

Michael has established himself as one of the smartest point racers in the history of URC, and that is proven since he owns seven titles. In the point chase this season, Curt Michael as one win, that victory coming at the Lincoln Speedway. Grasso's consistency may not be as solid, but he makes up for it with four wins on the season, coming off a thrilling victory Sunday night at the Georgetown Speedway where he started seventeenth and took the lead on the white flag lap, in a feature that only had one caution flag. Grasso also missed the URC Big Diamond race when he and his then car owner, parted ways. Grasso quickly worked at putting together his family owned low budget sprinter and returned to the battles of URC.

The Rislone URC sprints will next be in action on Saturday night, September 24 at the New Egypt Speedway, a favorite track of Grasso. In fact, on Tuesday night, August 30, in just his second ride in a 410 sprint car, Grasso scored the biggest win of his career, earning $5,000 for the victory. Grasso led a star-filled field with Mark Smith, Daryn Pittman, Lance Dewease and Fred Rahmer following in the top five.

After the New Egypt URC event, the traveling 360 sprints will return to the Delaware International Speedway on Saturday night, October 1 for the final race of the Taylor & Messick Delaware State Sprint Series. The final point race for URC will take place at the Grandview Speedway when Pioneer Pole Buildings present the $3,000 to win season finale on Saturday night, October 15th. This will be a features only event, with the top twenty in points invited for the season close out-shoot out.

Fourteen different drivers have shared the twenty event victories that were up for grabs this season. Grasso leads all drivers with four wins followed by Daryn Pittman, Dave Ely and Randy West, all two time winners. Drivers with one win this season include Ed Aikin, Lance Dewease, Chuck Hebing, Steve Poirier, Curt Michael, Josh Weller, Davey Franek, Mark Smith, Shane Stewart and Kramer Williamson.

Outside of the top five in points is Kramer Williamson who has one win. When mechanical problems are not hindering him, he remains a contender to win. Enjoying one of his best seasons is Medford, NJ driver Tim Hogue. On Sunday night at Georgetown, Hogue was right in the thick of the mix, challenging Josh Weller for the lead within the final five laps of the checker flag. It was one of the most impressive drivers in the driving career of Hogue and he stands a strong shot at winning one of the final three events of the season.

Andy Best of Dover, DE has really turned up the heat this season. Best has one career with URC and has not visited the URC victory lane in 2011, but he's a contender at every race. Art Liedl of Flemington, NJ is ninth in points and is enjoying a successful season, running with the best of URC each week. Liedl is looking for his first career with URC and has his eye on the season finale PPB event at Grandview Speedway. Tenth in points is Dave Ely from West Lawn, PA. Ely has two URC wins this season and thirteen career wins under the URC banner. Ely is extremely fast this year and has delivered strong runs at the URC events at Williams Grove .

It all comes down and will be decided at the last three point race events, taking place in three different states (New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania).

TAYLOR & MESSICK DELAWARE SPRINT SERIES DELIVERS THRILLER. . . . . . JJ GRASSO UNBELIEVABLE. . . . .FROM SEVENTENTH TO FIRST WITH JUST ONE CAUTION, SCORES FOURTH RISLONE SPRINT SERIES WIN SUNDAY NIGHT AT GEORGETOWN

Unbelievable.

That one word pretty much tells the story of the Rislone URC Sprint Series race Sunday night at the Georgetown Speedway. JJ Grasso lived up to his name the "Jersey Jet" and thrilled hundreds of race fans by starting seventeenth and winning the 25 lap feature event. The race had just one caution flag, that came out on lap seventeen when race leader Joey Biasi blew a tire and stopped in turn one. Grasso was third on the restart , then caught Tim Hogue for second on lap twenty-one. With the white flag waiving, Grasso passed Josh Weller for the lead and went on to score his fourth URC win of the season. The fans went absolutely wild. Just several weeks back, Grasso lost the ride in the potent Palladino #99 and quickly pieced together his family owned car to sustain his second place ranking in the URC season long point chase.

URC heat race events were won by Joey Biasi, Denny Garl and Josh Weller. The LikeWise fast time of the night was set by Biasi during the running of the first heat race.

In the twenty-five lap feature event on Taylor & Messick Night at Georgetown Speedway, Joey Biasi and Denny Garl made-up the front row and at the drop of the green flag, Biasi blasted to the lead. Josh Weller, moved into second with Eddie Wagner in third and Tim Hogue fourth. Biasi maintained a solid lead with Weller holding down second. On lap ten, Tim Hogue moved into third and at the same time, front wing damage was noticeable on the Weller sprint car.

JJ Grasso who started seventeenth was now in the top five, blasting his way through traffic on a mission. At the halfway point of the race, Biasi was the leader with Weller second followed by Tim Hogue, Grasso and Eddie Wagner.

The leader was now approaching slower traffic and Weller and Hogue were closing in on the leaders as Grasso was chasing down all the front runners.

The turning point of the race came on lap seventeen when a right rear tire blew on the Biasi sprint car, displaying the yellow flag. It was an unfortunate turn of events for Biasi who had a great run well in hand.

On the restart, Weller had the pole with Tim Hogue and Grasso making up the top three. Curt Michael, who started ninth was now running in fourth. With the drop of the green flag, Weller took off but it was Tim Hogue who found a burst of power and challenged Weller for the lead on the long run down the backstretch. Grasso was watching it all unfold and actually gave-up a few car lengths to the leaders.

Grasso turned up the heat and began to reel in the leaders once again and suddenly, it was a three car race for the lead. On lap twenty-one, Grasso made the pass on Hogue for second and began the task of reeling in his former ride, with Josh Weller at the wheel.

With two laps to go, Weller now had Grasso on his bumper and down the backstretch, Grasso made the pass for the lead. Weller challenged back entering turn three but Grasso held the advantage out of turn four to take the white flag. Grasso was not contested the final lap and the storybook finish was a reality for JJ Grasso. Weller finished second with Tim Hogue scoring a strong third with Curt Michael fourth and rookie driver Troy Betts scoring a career high fifth place finish.

After the checker flag, Betts and Randy West tangled on the backstretch with Betts flipping. There were no injuries in the post checker flag crash.

FEATURE FINISH: JJ Grasso, Josh Weller, Tim Hogue, Curt Michael, Troy Betts, Randy West, Eddie Wagner, Ed Aikin, Andy Best, Art Liedl, Joe Zuczek, Robbie Stillwaggon, Dave Martin, Chris Glanden, Joey Biasi, Jeff Fifthian, Steve Downs, Ryan Stillwaggon, Denny Garl, Gary Gollub, Mike Kostic

JOSH WELLER LANDS RIDE IN PALLADINO MOTORSPORTS #99

"I'm excited about the opportunity to drive the Pat and Kathy Palladino #99", said Josh Weller as he looks ahead to URC's two race weekend at the Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night, August 26 and the Port Royal Speedway on Saturday night, August 27. Weller, of Mertztown, PA is enjoying a solid season with URC in 2011, scoring one win this season and holding four career URC victories to his credit. Weller's win came on July 2nd when the Rislone URC Sprint Series invaded the New Egypt Speedway. Weller sits fourth in the point chase, trailing Randy West by just seven points. With seven point race events remaining, Weller is 167 points behind URC's seven time champion and current point leader Curt Michael. "The 99 Team remains one of the premier teams in sprint car racing today and it's an honor to be their driver", added Weller.

Weller began his driving career in 1994 driving quarter midgets then moved into the micro-sprints. He was an instant winner and managed to find victory lane at a variety of different tracks. Through that era of his racing career, he earned the name "The Wild Child". Although some may associate that nickname as a driver who is "out of control", in the case of Josh Weller, it really means running of the edge, going fast and heading to the front. When leaving the micro sprints in 2002, Josh had accumulated over one-hundred victories.

In 2003, Weller moved to URC and earned a lot of attention from the outset, going on to be URC's Rookie of the Year. His ability to adjust to different tracks in the micro-sprint ranks, certainly helped him with the many different tracks that URC visits. He has a fondness for the tricky or not so easy tracks, like Grandview and New Jersey's New Egypt Speedway.

Weller certainly has a shot at improving his fourth place ranking in the Rislone URC Drivers point chase. Also on his mind will be trying to earn the URC Owners Title for Team Palladino. The Palladino Motorsports #99 is ranked second in the owner point chase and well within striking distance of the title with seven race dates still on the schedule.

The Weller/Palladino Team will make their first outing at the Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night, August 26 in a Challenge Race then move on to the Port Royal Speedway on Saturday night, August 27 at the Port Royal Speedway. Weller likes both tracks and is certainly up to the challenge when URC heads to central Pennsylvania.

URC EYES CHANGES TO HELP COMPETITORS IN 2011 AND BEYOND

URC car owners received their first taste of the RISLONE Loyalty Reward Program as checks were written to eligible owners before the rains fell at Selinsgrove Speedway, Saturday evening. Those eligible owners not making it to Selinsgrove will receive their checks in the mail early this week. Eighteen URC car owners were eligible for the reward program with their attendance record over the last six weeks, and those car owners split a total of $7500.00 in bonus money. URC now offers another $7500.00 bonus for those owners attending five of the next six races on the URC schedule, and that bonus will be paid on October 1st at Delaware Int’l Speedway.

The RISLONE Loyalty Reward Program was well received by URC race teams and is only one of the ways URC is attempting to help their race teams through these very challenging economic times. URC is actively soliciting input from their car owners for ways to help racers to compete in more of the scheduled Rislone URC Sprint Series events. A field of 30 URC sprints turned out along with a banner crowd at Big Diamond Raceway on Friday night, and the anticipated field at URC’s rained out show at Selinsgrove on Saturday was in the mid-thirties. “Though we are encouraged by the good car count this past weekend,” Bob Miller comments, “we realize the need to take a proactive approach by helping our teams from a financial perspective.”

The work goes on.

URC announced a handicapping change this weekend; a change made to entice the rising number of part-time racers within the organization. Cars will still be handicapped off their point average, and an owner only needs 3 URC appearances to earn a point average for the season. The major change occurs with dropping the requirement to attend 3 of the last 5 races to earn their handicapped position in the heat races. There is only a one race penalty now for missing a URC race, and by the next race, that car rolls right back into the URC handicapping system, provided they had three appearances during the season to earn an average. This change will also benefit full-time teams that encounter a major problem, such as an engine problem or an injury, which may drop them from the old 3 out of 5 system.

Numerous discussions with URC car owners have netted many ideas now being considered by the Zimmerman's and Millers. One such idea has already been adopted in changing the handicapping system for URC’s biggest event, the URC Rislone Nationals at Williams Grove Speedway. Time trials, not a favorite event for fans or track promoters, will be dropped and replaced by URC’s regular handicapping system for the Rislone Nationals. In addition, all URC car spec rules will be enforced to include the American Racer on both the right and left rear points.

“We are working on a major announcement regarding a second URC National event in 2012,” stated Cher Zimmerman. “This will be a track URC racers regard as one of their own, which will be run under the regular URC format and handicapping system.”

In another positive decision, URC has decided to take a “hiatus” from their annual URC banquet, and instead, payout the remainder of the $60,000 point fund at the season finale Pioneer Pole Building event at Grandview Speedway on October 15th, where the 2011 URC Champions will be crowned. “Though it was a tough decision to walk away from what the racing fraternity deemed one of the most elite banquets in racing, this will get the point fund money into the hands of our car owners earlier, and eliminate the cost of buying banquet tickets and hotel rooms,” John Zimmerman commented. “URC feels this decision will help teams retain their lucrative point fund earnings for their 2012 URC racing efforts.

URC is not permanently ending their banquet, just taking a year off, and URC will re-evaluate evolving economic climates next year.” John and Cheryl Zimmerman and Bob Miller have been taking a very serious approach regarding the impact the economy has taken on our very valuable car owners. “Although URC remains strong and healthy” Bob Miller adds, “we need to get ahead of the challenges and threats we face by offering help and relief in a variety of ways to our competitors.”

URC is contemplating a variety of tweaks for 2012 that will prove their true intent of working to control costs of 360 sprint car racing.

SATURDAY RAIN ADJUSTS RISLONE URC SPRINT SERIES NEXT WEEKEND

The rain on Saturday forced the cancellation of the Rislone URC Sprint Series event Saturday night at the Selinsgrove Speedway.

The Grandview Speedway in Bechtelsville, PA also fell victim to the rainy weather, forcing the cancellation of their Annual Forrest Rogers Memorial 358 NASCAR Modified event, paying $10,000. As a result of the Grandview rain out, the prestigious Forrest Rogers Memorial will be re-scheduled for Saturday night, August 20 and the Rislone URC Sprint Series event will be moved off that date. At this time, a workable date for both Grandview Speedway and the United Racing Company is not available.

The URC sprints are scheduled to be at Grandview on Saturday night, October 15 as part of the NAPA Auto Parts House of Thunder Halloween Party Grandview Thunder 5-25's. Rain checks from the URC rained out event at Grandview will be honored on October 15.

The Rislone URC Sprints will next be in action at the Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night, August 26 taking part in a challenge race with the 358 sprints. The following night, Saturday, August 27, URC will make a long awaited return to the Port Royal Speedway. This event is open to 358 sprints as well.

VALLEY FORGE INC SPRINT SERIES INVADES BIG DIAMOND RACEWAY DAVE ELY HOLDS OFF A DETERMINED CURT MICHAEL FOR SECOND RISLONE URC SPRINT SERIES FEATURE WIN OF 2011

Dave Ely of West Lawn, PA won the twenty-five lap Rislone URC Sprint Series feature event on Friday night at the Big Diamond Raceway. It was Valley Forge INC Night and in the feature event, Dave Ely took the lead on lap three from Tim Hogue then held off a late race charge from seven time URC champion Curt Michael. A late race caution brought Michael to the rear bumper of the Dave Ely sprinter with just six laps remaining. Michael of Ocean View, DE remained within striking distance of the leader but ran short of time to make a challenge for the win.

A field of thirty URC sprints took part in the program with heat race wins going to Tim Hogue, Dave Ely and Art Liedl as Jimmy Stitzel won the "B" Main.

In the twenty-five lap feature, Tim Hogue jumped to the early lead and set the pace for the first two laps. The caution was displayed before the completion of lap three for Robbie Stillwaggon and Joe Zuczek who tangled in turn three. On the restart, Dave Ely took the lead followed by Art Liedl. Curt Michael made the move of the race on lap three, advancing at least six spots and now racing in third.

At the halfway point of the race, Ely had a comfortable lead over Curt Michael, Art Liedl, Tim Hogue and Jonathan Swanson. Dave Martin brought out the yellow flag on lap fifteen when he spun exiting the track in turn one. As the laps ticked by, Ely was slicing his way through lapped traffic with Curt Michael in the hunt and closing.

A wild crash on lap nineteen brought out the red flag for Jonathan Swanson who was running in the top five. Swanson took a series of wild flips offer the backstretch and into the infield. Swanson walked away uninjured but his car received extensive damage.

The restart saw Ely and Curt Michael nose to tail as the green flag fell;. With each lap, Michael worked multiple grooves to find the fastest lane but Ely was dialed into perfection. This win was going to Dave Ely with Curt Michael a solid second followed by Art Liedl, Josh Weller and Tim Hogue.

At the drop of the green flag, Aaron Ott jumped to the lead as Lance Dewease followed and by the second turn, they were running first and second and in a heated battle for the lead as Curt Michael followed in third.

Jason Clauss came to a stop on lap four displaying the yellow flag. On the restart, Ott and Dewease returned to their battle, opening a comfortable distance over the rest of the top five that included Michael, Kramer Williamson and Dave Ely. On lap six, Dewease used the outside lane and passed Ott for the lead.

At the halfway point, the yellow flag was displayed for Dave Ely who stopped in turn two when the rear went out on his sprinter. On the restart, Dewease was again the man in control with Ott second and a high and flying Mark Smith was racing in third. By lap sixteen, Chad Layton was your fourth place runner, trying to reel in the top three.

Passing was plentiful on the multi-grove surface and all eyes were on Pat Cannon who was the "B" Main winner and racing in the top ten with just five laps remaining.

Dewease took the checker flag with Aaron Ott second, Mark Smith third, Chad Layton fourth and Curt Michael fifth. Making up the top ten were Pat Cannon (the Fred's Trailer Parts Hard Charger of the night), Kramer Williamson, Kevin Nouse, Blane Heimbach, Justin Barger.

TERRY GRAY FROM BARTLETT, TN ENTERS RISLONE URC SPRINT NATIONALS CURT MICHAEL NARROWS POINT LEAD AS JJ GRASSO LEADS RISLONE URC POINT CHASE INTO WILLIAMS GROVE FRIDAY NIGHT

He began his racing career in 1974 and since that time, Terry Gray just keeps winning races.

The popular and nationally recognized driver from Bartlett, TN has accumulated three-hundred and fifty feature wins at some ninety-two different speedway's, an accomplishment seen by few. Gray will be making the trip to the Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night, August 5 to take part in the Rislone URC Sprint Nationals. The event pays $5,000 to win and Gray has never won at the famed Mechanicsburg, PA oval and his list of accomplishments is still missing a URC career win. URC is the nation's oldest traveling sprint car organization, celebrating their sixty-fourth season in 2011. This event is especially important to Terry Gray as his team sponsor, Rislone, is also the sponsor of this high profile 360 sprint car event.

With $5,000 to win on the line, the Williams Grove event is equally important in the Rislone URC point chase for the 2011 Championship. JJ Grasso, URC champion in 2009 currently holds a narrow point advantage over seven time URC Champion Curt Michael. In 2010, Grasso led the point chase most of the way, but race after race, Michael wore down that point lead and took the championship laurels in the season finale at the Weedsport Speedway. In 2011, Grasso and Michael are at it again. Just slightly past the mid-season point, the battle is tight. On different twist in 2011, Boyertown, PA driver and two time feature winner this season, Randy West is also within reach of the title along with fourth place point man Josh Weller of Mertztown, PA. This championship battle is far from over the Rislone Nationals could play a key part in the outcome.

URC regular Kramer Williamson, a former champion and winner at Williams Grove will be in the hunt for the $5,000 Rislone Nationals win along with former Rislone National winner Ed Aikin. Dave Ely of West Lawn, PA is an entry as well. Ely is still another feature winner at the Williams Grove Speedway. Showing a lot of strength this year especially on the big tracks is Robbie Stillwaggon of Burlington, NJ, and he is sure to be in the thick of the chase for the win.

Several expected invaders for the Rislone Nationals is Lance Dewease, planning to drive the potent Scott McClaren #21. The McClaren #21 with Shane Stewart at the wheel won the Jack Gunn Memorial at the Selinsgrove Speedway earlier this year. Mark Smith and his MACH 1 sprinter won a URC race at the Williams Grove Speedway in 2010 so he too could be prime to collect the $5,000 first place prize. Pat Cannon is another previous winner of the Rislone Nationals that should be in the field along with Selinsgrove, PA driver Blane Heimbach.

Pat Cannon won the first Rislone Nationals back in 2006 with victories going to Ed Aikin in 2007, Kenny Adams in 2008, Aaron Ott in 2009 and Daryn Pittman is the defending winner of the Rislone Nationals in 2010.

This event is without a doubt, the richest single night payoff of the season for the URC 360 sprints. Not only are the drivers shooting for the $5,000 winner's share, the 25 lap event will pay $1,000 for tenth and $325 just to take the green flag. Race time is set for 7 PM at the historic Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg, PA.

Special thanks to Rislone for making this event as big as it is. The involvement of Rislone has also offset the need for a pre-entry fee for the competitors. Along with the popular 360 sprints, the 358 sprints are also invited to compete in the 6th Annual Rislone Nationals.

All the details for this event are located on the URC website at www.urcsprints.com. Please go to the Competitors Page and click on 2011 National Sprint Payoff for all the details to include car specifications, tire rule, handicapping and the complete payoff.

The big weekend for the URC sprints continues the following night, Saturday, August 6th, as the Rislone URC Sprint Series will head t. "the big track", Bridgeport Speedway in Bridgeport, NJ. Without a doubt, Bridgeport Speedway is the biggest and possibly the fastest track on the URC tour. This is super URC weekend of money, speed and media exposure.

$5,000 TO WIN RISLONE URC SPRINT NATIONALS FRIDAY NIGHT, AUGUST 5TH AT WILLIAMS GROVE

Past winners of this prestigious event include Daryn Pittman in 2010, Aaron Ott in 2009, Kenny Adams in 2008, Ed Aikin in 2008 and Pat Cannon won the very first Rislone Sprint Nationals. Ironically, the competition is so keen that no driver has been able to win this event twice.

Drivers chasing this lucrative triumph include JJ Grasso a three time winner this year along with Randy West who has a pair of wins. Curt Michael, Kramer Williamson, Robbie Stillwaggon, Dave Ely, Josh Weller and Andy Best will be looking for their first Rislone win as will Mark Smith, Blane Heimbach and others.

The following night, Saturday, April 6th, the Rislone URC Sprint Series will head t "the big track", Bridgeport Speedway in Bridgeport, NJ. Without a doubt, Bridgeport Speedway is the biggest and possibly the fastest track on the URC tour. This is super URC weekend of money, speed and media.

RANDY WEST SCORES SECOND RISLONE URC WIN OF 2011, LEADS WIRE-TO-WIRE ON TAYLOR & MESSICK NIGHT SATURDAY AT DELAWARE INTERNATIONAL

Randy West of Boyertown, PA was the class of the field on Taylor & Messick Night Saturday at the Delaware International Speedway, winning the twenty-five lap Rislone URC Sprint feature event. West won his heat race and earned him the pole position in the main event. Seven time URC Champion Curt Michael won the second heat and started outside pole. Randy West, driving the Fred Kennedy owned sprinter ran to hide from the rest of the field and was never challenged in the feature that ran off non-stop. West earned $2,000 for the win, his second of the season and fifth career.

West and Curt Michael made-up the front row in the feature event and at the drop of the green flag, West immediately took control and established himself as the man the beat. Curt Michael maintained the second position and Kramer Williamson and Tim Hogue battled for third with Williamson earning the spot on lap five. At the front of the pack, West was quickly putting some distance between himself, Michael and Williamson. By lap ten, Robbie Stillwaggon was racing in fourth and at the same time, "the Wild Child" Josh Weller was also heading to the front of the pack.

At the halfway point of the race, West had pretty much checked out, driving through the lapped traffic flawlessly. Michael followed in second with Williamson third, Stillwaggon fourth and Tim Hogue making a strong run in fifth.

The race continued non-stop and West extended his lead with each lap. Josh Weller broke into the top five on lap nineteen and began to reel in the leaders.

Seven time URC Champion Curt Michael started fifth and advanced his Valley Forge Inc sprinter into third by lap three. Franek held a comfortable lead over Anderson as Michael, Randy West and Josh Weller followed in the top five.

JJ Grasso is the only duplicate winner and is joined by single event winners Daryn Pittman, Kramer Williamson, Shane Stewart, Dave Ely and Mark Smith.

Grasso leads the Rlslone URC Sprint Series point chase but as we've seen in the past, the point battle is far from over. Seven time URC Champion Curt Michael is positioned in second and will chase down the valuable points needed to challenge Grasso.

Following the Saturday night URC event at the Delaware International Speedway, the URC Sprints will move to the Georgetown Speedway in Georgetown, DE on Friday night, July 1st.

With a forecast of 70% rain, the management of the Grandview Speedway made a valiant effort to run their scheduled racing program on Saturday night. However, Mother Nature had a different plan, as the rain began falling just as the Rislone URC sprint cars took to the speedway for warm-ups. The cars returned to the pits and after a twenty-five minute wait, the rain continued to fall, forcing speedway management to cancel the racing event.

URC Managing Members and Grandview Speedway Management are looking for a possible make-up date and tentatively, Saturday night, August 20 is being considered.

For the Rislone URC Sprints, they will be in action next Saturday night, June 18 at the Delaware International Speedway. This event will be part of the Taylor & Messick Delaware State Sprint Series, a season long min-series that takes place at both the Delaware International and Georgetown Speedways.

VALLEY FORGE INC PA SPRINT SERIES CONTINUES SATURDAY NIGHT. . . . . . URC SPRINTS SHARE CARD WITH NASCAR MODIFIEDS ON THE HILL AT GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY,BPG RACING LUCKY FAN NIGHT PLUS RCN TV COVERAGE

A big night of racing is planned for the Grandview Speedway on Saturday night as the Rislone URC Sprint Series heads to the one-third mile high-banked Grandview Speedway in Bechtelsville, PA.

This event will also be a point race towards the season long Valley Forge INC Pennsylvania Sprint Series.

JJ Grasso, URC's current point leader is the defending winner of this event but don't count out local favorite Josh Weller of Mertztown, PA. Weller won this event in 2009 and 2007. Surprisingly, Grandview is not one of the favorite tracks for the Weller Team, but their results prove differently as they always seem to be in the chase for the win especially with their local fan base present.

Lets not court out seven time URC Champion Curt Michael. Over the last three event, the defending champion has worked his way from sixth in points to the runner-up spot, with a bulls eye now on point leader JJ Grasso. In the 2010 point chase, Grasso led the points most of the season but race after race, Michael chipped away at the point lead, winning the championship at the season finale. How will it play out in 2011?

Curt Michael of Ocean View, DE likes Grandview Speedway, but the seven time champion and winner of forty-four URC wins, has never won at Grandview. On Saturday night, Curt Michael hopes to move a Grandview victory into his win column.

Other URC drivers chasing a win include Randy West in the Fred's Trailer Parts sprinter, enjoying one of his best season along with Robbie Stillwaggon, Kramer Williamson, Becca Anderson, Art Liedl, Mark Bitner. Don't count out another local, West Lawn, PA driver Dave Ely. He's been to the Grandview victory lane and he already has one URC win this season.

At the halfway point the top five was unchanged with Ely leading and holding a comfortable margin.

On lap sixteen, race leader Dave Ely got caught up with some lapped traffic and Curt Michael moved his Valley Forge INC sprinter to the front of the pack. Ely quickly evaluated the situation and regained the lead before a lap could be completed.

The battle continued, but now Ely had a clear lane ahead as Curt Michael tried to pull out all the stops. A late race caution brought the field together once again and on the restart, Davie "No Panic" Franek passed Michael for second. A mix-up on the backstretch took place opening the door for a caution, moving Michael back to second since a lap was not completed.

On the restart, with just two laps to go, Michael looked for an opportunity to challenge Ely for the lead but at the same time, he had to hold off a determined Franek. Ely ran off with a comfortable lead and held the top spot for the final two laps. Curt Michael finished second followed by Davie Franek, Josh Weller and JJ Grasso.

With four races now in the books for the 2011 Rislone URC Sprint Series, four different drivers have visited the URC victory lane. Daryn PIttman won the Rislone URC Series opener at the Bridgeport Speedway as the crafty veteran Kramer Williamson took the win at the Delaware International Speedway. Race three took place at the Black Rock Speedway in Dundee, NY where 2009 URC Champion JJ Grasso dominated the field. Most recently, on Saturday night at the Selinsgrove Speedway in the sixth running of the Jack Gunn Memorial, Shane Stewart of Indianapolis, IN won the thirty lap thriller after being pressured the final ten laps by Blane Heimbach.

Stewart was driving the Scott McClaren owned sprint car which ironically won this event the last two years with Trevor Lewis in the seat. Lewis ran second in both events, then on the last turn of the final lap, he passed Pat Cannon for the win. Lewis decided over the winter months to sit out the 2011 racing season but car owner Scott McClaren was determined to go after his third consecutive Jack Gunn Memorial victory.

The previous two races it was the McClaren #21 chasing leader Pat Cannon for the win. Saturday night at Selinsgrove, it was McClaren's #21 setting the pace with Shane Stewart at the controls as Blane Heimbach and Pat Cannon were trying to make the last lap pass. Heimbach came very close but did not pull off the upset victory.

"This place is just hard on nerves", said a jubilant McClaren in the Selinsgrove victory lane. When asked if he preferred leading or running second on the last lap, McClaren was quick to respond, "It doesn't matter as long as we finish here in victory lane".

Shane Stewart, a true professional in 360 sprint car racing was a class act in victory lane. Stewart was quick to compliment event Promoter Charlie Paige for his efforts in getting the show completed under the challenging weather conditions. He complimented URC for their well run program, the excellent track conditions and of course, a hats off to Scott McClaren and his hard working crew. "It's not easy to win any race and it's even more of a challenge when you're not racing weekly, you have a different driver and, you show up at a track where you don't race every week", McClaren added, "but my team brought it all together and that's why we are standing here tonight".

The Rislone URC Sprint Series will next be in action with a two race weekend in the state of Delaware. Saturday night, May 28 will be the first stop at the Charlie Cathell owned Delaware International Speedway in Delmar, DE. The following night, Sunday, May 29, URC will be just down the road at the Georgetown Speedway in Georgetown, DE.
