RISLONE URC SPRINT SERIES 2010

URC ENDS SUCCESSFUL SEASON WITH SEVENTEEN DIFFERENT WINNERS

The sixty-third season of the Rislone URC Sprint Series is history and without a doubt, it was a very successful season.  There are numerous leading stories that developed in 2010, but the fact that URC delivered seventeen different feature winners in twenty-three events and six fist time winners, pretty much explains the level of competition within the organization.  Another fact is that the top four spots in the season long Rislone URC point chase were decided at the last race.

Curt Michael of Ocean View, DE inched out winning his seventh URC title in one of the most hard fought point battles in the sixty-three year history of URC.  With just a twenty-three point advantage, Curt Michael earned the championship crown over defending champion JJ Grasso who finished second in the point battle.  For car owner Bill Gallagher and the entire team of the Valley Forge INC 5G, it was their second time winning the coveted URC Owner's title.

The point battle for the title was highly contested, and the fight for third in points was in a near dead heat as well going into the final event.   But it was Josh Weller of Mertztown, PA who narrowly claimed third in points over a determined Justin Collett.   Also enjoying a successful season was Robbie Stillwaggon who was impressive the entire season and finished in the fifth spot of the season long point chase.

The season started off with Trevor Lewis winning the opening event at the Bridgeport Speedway.  By the third race of the URC season, Lewis, driving the Scott McClaren owned sprinter already had two wins.   The early story appeared to be that Trevor Lewis may be the man to beat. Lewis won his third feature on August 7 but elected to do some 410 sprint car racing rather then chase the URC Championship.

By mid-August, Lewis and JJ Grasso each had three wins, but the turning point of 2010 really took hold on August 14 when Curt Michael won his first URC feature of the season at the Lincoln Speedway.  Consistency and the fact that the Valley Forge Inc sprinter finished every URC event in 2010, was going to be the factor that would  soon deliver the URC Championship to this team.   Curt scored his second URC win of the year, this victory coming at the Georgetown Speedway on September 5 and the battle was underway for the title.

In the last nine point races of the season, Michael scored two wins, seven top five finishes a tenth and an eleventh which was all very critical toward winning the championship.   The battle between Michael and Grasso was so evenly matched, that they both earned the Fred's Trailer Parts Hard Charger award five times during the season. Each night a driver earns the Hard Charger award, they pick up an additional five bonus points.

The 2010 season also saw the level of competition spike up at the challenge events.   Trevor Lewis won the Jack Gunn Memorial in typical style, beating Pat Cannon on the final lap to pocket the $3,500 first place prize money.  Aaron Ott won the URC sanctioned event at Williams Grove on August 5 as Daryn Pittman won the Rislone Nationals the following night at the Grove, earning $4,000.   Mark Smith won the Challenge event at the Grove on August 27 and World of Outlaw driver Randy Hannigan beat out Daryn Pittman to win the New York Challenge URC sanctioned  event at Weedsport on October 8.

Plans are already underway for the 2011 Rislone URC Sprint Series and dates are already being booked. 

Saturday, December 4 will be the Rislone URC Awards Banquet to take place at the Lancaster Host Grand Ball Room.  More information on the Banquet will be posted on the URC website shortly.  Please visit us at:  www.urcsprints.com

NEWS FROM: RISLONE URC SPRINT SERIES

TWENTY-THREE POINT ADVANTAGE EARNS BILL GALLAGHER AND CURT MICHAEL 2010 RISLONE URC TITLE

It all came down to just twenty-three points in one the closest point battles in URC history, and when the dust settled, the 2010 Rislone URC Sprint Series title was well earned by car owner Bill Gallagher and driver Curt Michael.

For Gallagher, it marks his second URC championship as Curt Michael racks up an impressive seventh URC title. Consistency was the key and since Curt Michael of Ocean View, DE first came to URC, he has clearly been Mr. Consistency. Repeatedly he can get the job done by avoiding the crashes and always placing himself in the right position at the right time. For the crew of the 5G led by Sean Michael, their flawless maintenance program kept their driver in the point chase hunt from the outset.

URC's defending champion the "Jersey Jet" JJ Grasso had an impressive season as well winning four features on URC's twenty-two race schedule and finishing a strong runner-up in the title chase.

The point battle for third and fourth was up for grabs as well going into Weedsport Friday night. Josh Weller of Mertztown, PA earned the third spot bragging rights, beating out Justin Collett by just three points. Rounding out the best of URC's top five was Robbie Stillwaggon, earning his career best finish in the season long URC point chase.

In the mini-series point chase, Bill Gallagher and Curt Michael won the Taylor & Messick Delaware State Sprint Series. They also won the Fred's Trailer Parts New Jersey/New York Series, beating out Grasso with just a three point advantage. The Valley Forge Inc Pennsylvania Sprint Series saw Grasso take the title with Curt Michael second.

The battle between Michael and Grasso was fast and furious all season long, in fact, URC offers on a nightly basis. the Fred's Trailer Parts Hard Charger Award. The Hard Charger each night collects and extra $50 but even more important, the team earns an additional five points. Both Michael and Grasso picked up the bonus five times during the season which was worth, an additional twenty-five points.

The 2010 Rislone URC Sprint Series was extremely competitive even beyond the battle of Michael, Grasso, Weller and Collett. In the twenty-two race series, sixteen different drivers visited victory lane. The only drivers to earn more then one win were JJ Grasso (4), Trevor Lewis (3) and Curt Michael with two. Thirty-four different drivers won the URC heat race events of 2010.

Six of those sixteen drivers earned their first career win with URC and that list includes Andy Best, Daryn Pittman, Bill Unglert, Mark Smith, Jonathan Swanson and Randy Hannigan.

Six premier increased purse events were scheduled for 2010, however rain eliminated the two day weekend at Rolling Wheels. The four big money events were won by Trevor Lewis at Selinsgrove on May 15, Daryn Pittman at Williams Grove on June 4, Mark Smith at Williams Grove on August 27 and Randy Hannigan at Weedsport on October 8.

The Race Fans Direct Chip Reward program was once again a popular activity this year. As in the past, drivers and owners earn a chip every time they participate in a car show, promotional activity, an autograph session or send out a press release. At the season end URC Awards Banquet, Race Fans Direct will conduct a drawing with one lucky winner earning $500 in cash. The more promotion events you do, the better your chances of winning. In total, twenty-seven drivers took part in one hundred and three activities including many autograph sessions at intermission at the various URC race tracks on race night. This activity not only promotes the URC organization but the driver, car owner and team sponsors. It also develops a strong connection between the drivers and race fans. JJ Grasso led all competitors taking part in seventeen promotional events.

RANDY HANNIGAN PASSES DARYN PITTMAN ON FINAL LAP TO WIN 360 SPRINT CHALLENGE, CURT MICHAEL TAKES URC TITLE

It's never over, until it's over and Friday night proved that saying in the twenty-five lap New York 360 Sprint Challenge sanctioned by URC.

I was closing on Pittman but was not in reach unless something went wrong, and it did." Hannigan was making reference to Pittman tangling will a slower car the opened the door wide to Hannigan to make the winning pass.

In the URC point chase, JJ Grasso began the night with a twenty point advantage over six time champion Curt Michael. The turning point for Grasso came on lap thirteen when third place runner Kramer Williamson blew a motor on the homestretch. The slowing sprinter car triggered a twelve car crash in turn one that involved Grasso who lost his top and front wing. The BK Leasing #99 was repaired enough to restarg the race but they never were a factor finishing fifteenth.

The Bill Gallagher owned Valley Forge INC sprinter driven by Curt Michael did exactly what they had to do.

For car owner Bill Gallagher, this marked his second URC Owner Championship and he heard the news of winning the title via phone at his Valley Forge, PA. Bill was unable to attend the races tonight, not feeling 100% up to the trip to New York. For Curt Michael of Ocean View, DE, it was his seventh URC Championship.

Heat race winners include Chuck Hebing, Tim Kelly, Curt Michael, Randy Hannigan as the two "B" Main events winners were Josh Weller and Robbie Stillwaggon.

In the twenty-five lap New York 360 Sprint Challenge, Daryn Pittman set the early pace taking charge from his pole starting position. Pittman and Hannigan were the front runners then Chuck Hebing moved into the picture. On lap eleven, Hebing passed Hannigan for second. Hannigan refused to give up, fighting back for the runner-up spot. As Hebing entered turn one on lap twelve, he spun, tagged the wall and flipped over the Jersey barriers, exiting the speedway in turn one. Hebing walked away uninjured.

On the restart, Pittman, Hannigan, Kramer Williamson, Blake Breen and Curt Michael made up the top five. The field completed lap thirteen when the motor blew on the Kramer Williamson sprinter, creating a multi-car pile up that included JJ Grasso and Kevin Nouse along with ten other sprint cars.

The field did restart with Pittman on point followed by Hannigan, Curt Michael Steve Poirier and Jessica Zemken. On lap seventeen Poirier passed Michael for third with Jessica Zemken now in chase of the leaders.

With five laps remaining, it appeared that Pittman was home free but when the two laps to go sign was displayed, Hannigan was certainly closing on Pittman. On the final lap, Hannigan was in the right place at the right time and made the pass around Pittman to take the checker flag.

Hannigan took the win, his first with URC to become the sixteenth different URC winner this season. Pittman finished second followed by Steve Poirier, Curt Michael and Jessica Semken.

KRAMER WILLIAMSON LEADS ALL TIME CAREER SPRINT CHALLENGE WIN LIST
 
Kramer Williamson enjoys the URC sanctioned Challenge events.   The driver from Palmyra, PA won the first challenge event held at the Selinsgrove Speedway on July 8, 1995.  Since that time, he won another five Challenge events bumping his total to six victories in the twenty-six race history of the URC Sprint Challenge shows.
 
In total,  the twenty-six Challenge events took place at ten different race tracks and delivered seventeen different feature winners.  Williamson leads with six Challenge event wins followed by Craig Keel, Dan Kaszubinski, Chuck Hebing and Curt Michael, each with two wins.
 
On Friday night, October 8 the URC Challenge Race Series will make a first time stop at the Weedsport Speedway, run in conjunction with the Super DIRT week.   Williamson, still looking  for his first win of the season would like nothing more then a $3,000 payday for winning the 25 lap New York Challenge at Weedsports.  
 
The twenty-six race Challenge Series events have been run successfully in conjunction with the New York based Empire Super Sprint  group.   As in the past, the  Friday, October 8 Challenge race at Weedsports is open to any and all sanctioning bodies of 360 sprint car racing.  The purse for this event along with car specifications and race procedures are posted on the URC website on the Competitors Page.
 
The biggest strength of the Challenge Race Series has been car count.  The combination of multiple sprint car groups under uniform rules seems to work very well and historically attracts over fifty sprint cars and at times, has delivered  over sixty-five cars.
 
On Friday night, October 8th at Weedsport, the gates will open at 3 PM with the drivers meeting set for 5 PM.  Racing will get underway at 7 PM.
 
This event will have special interest as the season long Rislone URC Point Champion will be decided.   Defending point champion JJ Grasso and current point leader Curt Michael are in a near dead heat in the title chase going into Weedsport.

GRASSO REGAINS URC POINT LEAD. . . . . .
SWANSON HOLDS OFF A DETERMINED WELLER FOR FIRST URC CAREER VICTORY SATURDAY AT BIG DIAMOND
 
The young and talented Jonathan Swanson of Yardville, NJ drove the race of his career in winning the 25 lap Rislone URC Sprint Series feature event on Valley Forge INC Night at the Big Diamond Speedway.   Swanson led the entire twenty-five laps but had to hold off a very determined Josh Weller.   Weller caught Swanson on lap eight and challenged for the lead right up to the checker flag.  On lap twenty-four, Weller pulled alongside of Weller, making his strongest attempt at taking the lead.   At the same time, the red flag was displayed for Justin Collett who flipped in turn two.  The restart provided Swanson a clear speedway for the final two laps, collecting his first career URC win and $2,000 as the first place prize.
 
Swanson became URC's fifteenth different feature winner with twenty-one events presented so far this season.   Grasso in a four time feature winner followed by Trevor Lewis with three wins and two time winner Curt Michael.  Twelve other drivers are single race winners.  The final point race to determine the 2010 Rislone URC Sprint Series Champion is set for next Friday night at the Weedsport Speedway.
 
In the season long Rislone URC Sprint Series point chase, defending champion JJ Grasso regained the point lead, nosing ahead of six time URC Champion Curt Michael.   Grasso was fifth in the Big Diamond feature event as Michael collected eleventh place money.
 
URC heat race events were won by Midge Miller, JJ Grasso and Jonathan Swanson.
 
In the Rislone URC Sprint feature that is also part of the season long Valley Forge INC Pennsylvania Sprint Series,  Jonathan Swanson took immediate control of the lead as Josh Weller moved into second and began his chase after Swanson.   Midge Miller, Kramer  Williamson and Art Liedl followed in the top as Weller made his first serious bid for the lead on lap eight.   Swanson was up to the challenge and remained the pace setter.
 
On lap ten, the first caution of the race was displayed for Justin Collett who spun in turn four.   Collett turned his sprinter around and rejoined at the rear of the field. 
 
Green flag racing resumed with Weller looking to stage another challenge.  As the field crossed for the halfway sign, Swanson  and Weller were in a race of their own as Kramer  Williamson followed in third with Becca Anderson fourth and Midge Miller fifth.
 
The battle on the track was still for the lead with Swanson driving a flawless race.   With an eye on the point battler, JJ Grasso was racing in sixth with Michael just outside the top ten.
 
At the front of the pack, Weller again staged a serious threat for the lead, this time on lap twenty-one, but just like earlier in the race, Swanson held his line and the lead.   Flagman Ray Kemp displayed the two laps to go sign and Weller set-up for the pass for the leading going into turn one.  Swanson bobbled slightly and Weller went to the outside, with the two cars now side-by-side for the lead.   At the same time, the red flag was displayed as Justin Collett took a slow tumble in turn two.
 
Swanson retained the lead spot with just two laps to go.   As the green flag fell, Swanson quickly established himself as the man to beat, shaking off Weller in the closing laps.  Swanson took the win over Weller as Kramer Williamson followed in third  with Becca Anderson fourth and JJ Grasso fifth.
 
FEATURE FINISH:  Jonathan Swanson,  Josh Weller, Kramer Williamson, Becca Anderson, JJ Grasso, Robbie Stillwaggon, Art Liedl, Midge Miller, Joe Zuczek, Kevin Nouse, Curt Michael, Rory Janney, Eddie Wagner, Randy West, Bill Unglert, Blane Heimbach, Andy Best, Tim Higgins, Mark Bitner, Justin Collett, Kevin Welsh, Mike Kostic, Gary Gollub, Kevin Darling.

GRASSO TAKES FOURTH URC WIN SATURDAY NIGHT AT DELAWARE INTERNATIONAL, MICHAEL TAKES  TAYLOR & MESSICK DELAWARE STATE CHAMPIONSHIP
 
JJ Grasso, URC's "Jersey Jet" of Pedricktown, NJ scored his fourth win of 2010 in URC competition Saturday night at the Delaware International Speedway.  Grasso took the lead from Becca Anderson on lap fourteen then ran unchallenged to his sixteenth career Rislone URC Sprint Series career win.  In the close and exciting  season long Rislone point chase,  Grasso is trailing six time URC champion Curt Michael by twenty-one point.  Michael started twelfth in the twenty-four car starting field and rallied to an impressive third place finish, also collecting five additional points for advancing the most spots (9) in the feature event.  The solid third place finished by Michael and the Valley Forge INC team and earned  them the Taylor & Messick Delaware State season long  Championship.
 
A field of twenty-six Rislone URC sprint cars took part in the program with heat race victories going to Becca Anderson, Kramer Williamson and Art Liedl.
 
In  the twenty-five lap feature event, the yellow was displayed before the first  lap was completed as Bill Unglert came to a stop in turn two.   On the restart, Becca Anderson took immediate control of the lead as Kramer Williamson followed in second.    Grasso passed Williamson for second on lap two and attempted to reel in Anderson.   Even with  a caution on lap seven for Tim Iulg who spun in turn four, Anderson maintained the top spot as Curt Michael was threading his way to the front.
 
By the halfway point of the race, Grasso was offering serious challenges for the lead and on lap fourteen, the BK Leasing #99 was at the front of the pack.  Grasso quickly established a comfortable lead over Anderson and Michael as Kramer Williamson and Justin Collett rounded out the top five.
 
In the closing stages of the race, Grasso had to contend with lapped traffic, however, he held a solid lead over Anderson.     Although Michael tried to reel in Anderson, she too managed her advantage.
 
With the checker flag waiving, JJ Grasso was the winner over Becca Anderson, Curt Michael Kramer Williamson and Justin Collett.

WILLIAMSON LOOKING FOR A URC WIN BEFORE SEASON END

Kramer Williamson of Palmyra, PA is looking to reverse a very long winless streak. The former URC Champion currently hold sixty-six career URC wins and ranked third on URC's all time career win list, trailing Glenn Fitzcharles with eighty-one wins and Dave Kelly with seventy-six wins. But for Williamson, it's been a long time since he last parked in victory lane. In fact, it was 2007 and a good year for man that drivers the pink sprint car, that we have come to know as the "Pink Panther".

In the 2007 season, Williamson won three features, two at the Delaware International Speedway and his third and final win came at the Hagerstown, MD Speedway on August 18. His three wins that season tied eventual season long champion Curt Michael who also won three URC features that season. Williamson ended the season long campaign fourth in the final point chase.

2007 was also a season of different winners as twenty drivers shared the URC victory lane podium that year. It was the year that both JJ Grasso and Davey Sammons earned their first career URC win.

As Kramer would say, enough with looking back, it's time to look forward. In 2010, Kramer Williamson was enjoying a career rebound. Firmly planted in the top ten in points most of the season, he was delivering consistent finishes. On Saturday night, September 4th at the Delaware International Speedway, Williamson was impressive, finishing a solid and strong second place finish. Williamson and his Pink Panther were fast. The following night, URC invaded the Georgetown Speedway and Williamson was fast once again. Unfortunately, a malfunction with the steering sent Williamson into a spin, off the speedway and into the tree line that borders the highway.

Kramer was confident that the feature was his on this night, but a long ride on the wrecker back to the pits will be the standing memory of Georgetown.

Again, it's time to look forward as Kramer Williamson and his Armorboard Packaging #73 head to the Delaware International on Saturday night, September 25. The momentum is strong and the success is near and Kramer is looking for that visit to the victory lane just one more time before the close of 2010. His sponsorship support is behind him as well and joining Armorboard is Pepsi-Cola with thanks to Chris Bashore, Boyer Signs and representative Brian Boyer and Bruce Rambler of Rambler Automotive also of Palmyra. JR Shocks in North Carolina and Chubby of CnB Mushroom have also come to the support of Kramer Williamson over the years.

Kramer's crew includes Jason Simmons, the newest addition to the team and his magic is quickly showing on the track. Also on the team is Cliffy Irvn, a very dedicated crew member since 1997. Of course, Kramer's daughter Felecia is also there to offer a hand and takes care of attending the driver's meeting, preps the radio, confirms the line-up and buckles dad firmly to the Panther. Kramer's son Kurt acts as crew chief whenever he gets the opportunity to attend the URC events. His schedule is very busy as he works with Steven Wallace and Bryon Gaughan RWI (Rusty Wallace Inc.) on the Nationwide Series. With Dover running on the September 25 weekend, Kurt will be pit side at Delaware International to hopefully guide the Pink Panther to victory lane.

The Rislone URC Sprint Series will be in action at the Delaware International Speedway on Saturday, September 25. This will mark the twentieth URC event of the season and fourteen different drivers have won URC events this season.

BIG FIELD EXPECTED FOR NEW YORK SPRINT CHALLENGE EVENT AT WEEDSPORT FRIDAY NIGHT, OCTOBER 8th

Four race dates remain on the Rislone URC Sprint Series for 2010 including the New York Sprint Challenge set for Friday night, October 8th at the Weedsport Speedway. This event is sanctioned by the URC (United Racing Company) sprints and has in the past, attracted record car counts anywhere from fifty to as many as seventy sprint cars for this block-buster one day show.

In 2010, this popular sprint event will move from the Rolling Wheels Raceway to the Weedsport Speedway and shift from Saturday night to Friday night. Heat race events and "B" Main Qualifiers will determine the minimum twenty-four car starting field in the $3,000 to win twenty-five lap main event. URC competitors will have no easy task on this night as the best sprint car drivers of New York will also be in the field. The New York Sprint Challenge event could very well determine the 2010 URC Champion as Curt Michael and JJ Grasso are in a virtual dead heat for the title, with Michael holding a slight advantage.

The big field of cars for the New York Sprint Challenge always makes qualifying the biggest hurdle of the night. In the words of past URC champion Kramer Williamson, "This is an event you need to qualify for, long before you can even think about winning it. "

For the URC drivers, their next event is set for the Delaware International Speedway on Saturday night, September 25 followed by a visit to the Big Diamond Raceway on Saturday night, October 2nd. It's off to Weedsport, NY on Friday, October 8th for the New York Sprint Challenge and the final point race of 2010 for URC.

The Rislone URC Sprints will close out their season on Saturday night, October 16th as they take part in the Grandview Thunder 5-25's, a feature only event (non-point race) that will get underway at 6 PM.

CURT MICHAEL DOMINATES TO WIN RISLONE URC SPRINT SERIES FEATURE SUNDAY NIGHT AT GEORGETOWN ON TAYLOR & MESSICK NIGHT

For the second time in 2010 Curt Michael of Ocean View, DE won the 25 lap Rislone URC sprint car feature event.   The win Sunday night came at the Georgetown Speedway on Taylor & Messick Night.  For Michael, the win also moved him and car owner Bill Gallagher in the point lead for the 2010 URC title chase.   It was Michaels forty-fourth career URC win, taking the lead from Robbie Stillwaggon on lap ten.  The win was worth $2,000 plus the valuable points towards the season long URC Championship.

Twenty-two cars took part in the racing program with heat race victories going to Randy West, Robbie Stillwaggon and Becca Anderson.

In the twenty-five lap feature, Robbie Stillwaggon se the early pace followed by Randy West and Tim Hogue.   Curt Michael was on a charge and moved into third on lap five.   A caution flag on lap nine for Scott Pursell, opened the door for Michael.  When the green flag fell, Michael powered by Stillwaggon and quickly established a solid lead.

At the halfway point, Michael was leading followed by JJ Grasso, the point leader at the start of the feature event.  Stillwaggon ran third with Josh Weller fourth and charging as Tim Hogue finished fifth.   On  lap sixteen, the second and final caution of the race was displayed for Randy West who spun in turn four.   On the restart, Michael took off leaving Grasso to struggle as he lost power steering.  This opened the door for Josh Weller to move into second followed by Stillwaggon and Hogue.   Grasso quickly faded and dropped out of the top ten.

Meanwhile at the front of the pack, Michael was leading but Josh Weller was cutting into that commanding lead.   Weller ran out of time as Michael took the checker flag in convincing style.  Weller was second followed by Stillwaggon, Justin Collett and Tim Hogue.

FEATURE FINISH:  Curt Michael,  Josh Weller, Robbie Stillwaggon, Justin Collett, Tim Hogue, Becca Anderson, Kevin Nouse, Rory Janney, Art Liedl, Eddie Wagner, Randy West, Jonathan Swanson, JJ Grasso, Tim Higgins, Joe Zuczek, Kevin Darling, Tim Iulg, Scott Pursell, Midge Miller, Rob Liedl, Randy Wilbert, Kramer Williamson.

BECCA ANDERSON WINS ON TAYLOR & MESSICK NIGHT SATURDAY AT DELAWARE INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY

Becca Anderson of Houston, DE scored her first win of the season and tenth career win Saturday night at the Delaware International Speedway for the eighteenth race of the 2010 Rislone URC Sprint Series. Anderson was URC's fourteenth different winner of the season collecting $2,000 for the win. Anderson is also looking at a $500 bonus posted by CnB Mushrooms, if she can sweep the weekend by winning the URC event on Sunday night at the Georgetown Speedway. Both races this weekend are point races for the season long Taylor & Messick Delaware State Sprint Series. Anderson ran an awesome race but luck did go her way on lap fourteen when race leader Josh Weller tangled with a lapped car and displaying the yellow. Anderson inherited the lead at that point driving the Dave Bett's owned sprint and ran uncontested to the win.

A field of twenty-six URC sprint cars turned out for the program with heat race wins going to Art Liedl, Josh Weller and Rory Janney as Eddie Wagner won the "B" Main.

In the twenty-five lap Rislone URC sprint feature, Josh Weller of Mertztown, PA gunned to the lead at the drop of the green flag. Six time URC Champion Curt Michael charged from his twelfth starting position to cross the line in sixth as the field completed the first lap.

With three laps down, the caution was displayed for Mike Kostic who stopped with a flat tire. Weller set a blistering pace as the race restarted and was chased by Art Liedl, Becca Anderson and Kramer Williamson.

The yellow flag was again displayed, this time for a multi-car mix-up involving Randy West, Jonathan Swanson, Tim Higgins and Andy Best.

On the restart, it was all Weller but now Becca Anderson was in second and Kramer Williamson third. The turning point of the race came on lap fourteen when Justin Jones, a lapped car, tangled with race leader Josh Weller in turn three. The yellow was displayed with both Weller and Jones requiring a hook to return to the pits. An outstanding and dominating ride by Weller had come to an end.

When green flag racing resumed, Becca Anderson was on point with Kramer Williamson now in the chase. Curt Michael ran third followed by JJ Grasso and Justin Collett. Anderson maintained a comfortable lead over Williamson so he never challenged for the top spot. Williamson held the same distance over Michael in third as Grasso and Collett followed in the top five.

The top five remained unchanged for the final laps with Becca Anderson easily taking the win.

FEATURE FINISH: Becca Anderson, Kramer Williamson, Curt Michael, JJ Grasso, Justin Collett, Rory Janney, Robbie Stillwaggon, Kevin Darling, Tim Iulg, Fran Hogue, Joe Zuczek, Eddie Wagner, Scott Pursell, Midge Miller, Josh Weller, Justin Jones, Jonathan Swanson, Randy West, Andy Best, Tim Higgins, Art Liedl, Mike Kostic, Bill Unglert, Rob Liedl, Randy Wilbert.

URC/358 CHALLENGE AT WILLIAMS GROVE FRIDAY NIGHT, AUGUST 27, TITLE CHASE IS TIGHT!

The Rislone URC Sprint Series will return to the Williams Grove Speedway this Friday night for their final visit of 2010.   The Rislone URC Sprints will team-up with the Central Pennsylvania 358 sprints for the Challenge at the Grove.    An open draw will determine the heat race starting line-ups and like the regular URC events, your heat race finish will determine your starting position in the 25 lap $2,200 to win feature event.   This format makes the heat race events not only exciting, but very rewarding as the heat race winners earn the top three starting positions in the main event.

The Rislone URC Sprint Series point chase is in a heated battle between defending champion JJ Grasso and six time former champion Curt Michael.     As Grasso and Michael take the top two rankings in URC, Justin Collett, Josh Weller, Kevin Nouse, Randy West, Robbie Stillwaggon, Art Liedl, Kevin Darling and Kramer Williamson are also among the best of URC in 2010.   Along with the URC talent,  look for Pat Cannon, Blane Heimbach, Davie Franek, Mark Smith, Jessica Anderson, Aaron Ott and Brian Montieth to be possible entries for the Challenge at the Grove.   For more information on this event, please visit www.urcsprints.com and under the Competitors page, you will find all the details and payoff for this event.

So far in 2010, the Rislone URC Sprint Series has completed sixteen events with five rain outs.   Like most divisions in our sport, due to the economic impact, URC's has seen a slight dip in car count over the past two weeks.   A contributor may very well be the number of URC events in August including a three race weekend from August 5 - 7.    One thing for sure, there has been an influx of top name drivers choosing to compete is selected URC events.

URC had three first time winners this season to include Andy Best, Daryn Pittman and Bill Unglert.    Aaron Ott scored his second career win with URC this season and on Saturday night at the Selinsgrove Speedway, Blane Heimbach was the winner, taking his third career URC win.

Drivers enjoying a great season with URC include Justin Collett, driver of the John Pinter owned sprinter.   Collett has one win this season and currently is third in the point chase.  The Wild Child Josh Weller has one win and sits fourth in points and Kevin Nouse,  looking for his first win of the season is fifth in points driving the Elmer Stoltzfus sprinter.   Just outside the top five in points is Robbie Stillwaggon, hot off a  solid sixth place finish Saturday night at Selinsgrove.   Randy West in the Fred Kennedy sprinter is seventh in points followed by Kevin Darling who is ranked eighth.  Making up the top ten is Art Liedl and Jonathan Swanson.

Jason Clauss of Boyertown, PA, a weekly URC competitor a few years ago,  made his first showing with URC  this season at Selinsgrove.   Clauss powered home a strong eighth place finish.  Clauss plans to be with URC this coming weekend at Williams Grove.

URC Rookie Driver Tim Iulg of Bridgeton, NJ delivered a tenth place finish at Selinsgrove.    Friday night at the Bedford Speedway, Iulg had a possible top five finish going until mechanical problems stopped him on the speedway.

In sixteen events, URC has twelve different feature winners.   Only JJ Grasso and Trevor Lewis have more than a  single win.   Both Grasso and Lewis have three wins this season.

ROOKIE DRIVER BILL UNGLERT CAPTURES CAREER FIRST URC WIN FRIDAY NIGHT AT BEDFORD SPEEDWAY

Bedford, PA   .   .   .  ."it was just a long, long race", commented URC Rookie Driver  Bill Unglert of Old Bridge, NJ after scoring his first career Rislone URC Sprint feature win  on Friday night at the Bedford Speedway.   Unglert led the entire twenty-five laps but was pressured the entire race by some of URC's best.   Several caution flags and even a red flag on lap twenty-two brought the talent to the rear bumper of the Unglert sprinter, but there was no successful challenge even offered to the leader.  The cautions made the race seem much longer to eventual winner Bill Unglert, but he handled the restarts more like a successful veteran then a rookie with URC in 2010.   This event was also part of the season long Valley Forge Inc Pennsylvania Point Series.

URC heat race events were won by Unglert, Becca Anderson and Art Lidel.    The Audi Shop thirteenth place bonus went to  Chris Weiss  as the Fred's Trailer Parts Hard Charger Award went to Curt Michael who started fifteenth and advanced thirteen spots to finish second.

In the twenty-five lap feature, Bill Unglert jumped to an early but the caution was displayed as a flat tire forced Josh Weller to stop in turn two.   On the restart, Unglert again set the pace followed by Art Liedl and Rory Janney.   Becca Anderson driving the Dave Bett's owned sprinter moved into third with JJ Grasso fourth on lap four.   Tim Iulg enjoying a solid ride and racing in seventh stopped on lap six displaying the caution.

With ease and grace, Unglert set a blistering pace on the restart as he was chased by Liedl, Anderson, Grasso and Justin Collett who was delivering a strong run.     On lap seven, both Anderson and Grasso passed Liedl they had their shot to go after the leader.   Although they tried, Unglert maintained a solid lead even with the new challengers.

At the halfway point of the race, Unglert, Anderson, Grasso, Collett and Curt Michael made up the top five.  The battle for second started to tighten and on lap sixteen, Grasso moved into second.  Before the lap was completed, Anderson regained the runner-up spot but only after contact with Grasso in turn four.    Michael, took the opportunity to complete the two car pass, slipping by both Grasso and Anderson to move into second.

Grasso now in fourth, made contact with the third turn wall and stopped on lap sixteen displaying still another caution flag.    With extensive damage to the Palladino sprinter, Grasso retired to the pits.   Under the same caution, Becca Anderson was moved back two spots for inconsiderate on the track driving.

It was restart  time and Bill Unglert was up to the call as the green flag fell on lap nineteen.   Curt Michel now in second, had his chance to battle the rookie but Unglert was up to the challenge and quickly established an eight to ten car length lead.

The red flag was displayed on lap twenty-two, this time for Chris Weiss who flipped in turn three.  Weiss reported that he was OK after taking a hard tumble.

With still another restart at hand, Bill Unglert led the field down for the green flag.   Curt Michael, was now  in the hunt and racing second as Unglert took off with a blast.    Over the final three laps,  Unglert remained in strong command, extending his lead to at least ten car lengths over Michael.

Unglert ran nearly twenty-five perfect laps to pocket the $2,000 winner's share of the payoff.   Curt Michael, delivered a strong run to finish second after starting fifteenth.  With motor problems earlier in the night, Justin Collett and car owner  John Pinter finished a strong third with  Kevin Nouse,  the defending  winner of this race finishing fourth with Becca Anderson fifth.

FEATURE FINISH:   Bill Unglert, Curt Michael, Justin Collett, Kevin Nouse, Becca Anderson, Art Liedl,  Tim Hogue, Jonathan Swanson, Kramer Williamson, Robbie Stillwaggon, Josh Weller, Randy West, Chris Weiss, Rory Janney,  JJ Grasso, Tim Higgins, Kevin Darling, Gary Gollub, Tim Iulg, Midge Miller.

RISLONE URC SPRINT SERIES HEADS TO BEDFORD AND SELINSGROVE AUGUST 20 & 21

The Rislone URC Sprint Series will hit the road this weekend with a two race weekend that will be part of the Valley Forge INC Pennsylvania point series.   On Friday night, the Rislone Sprints will be action at the Bedford Speedway.  Defending race winner Kevin Nouse driving the Elmer Stoltzfus sprinter may very well be the man to beat on the big half mile.   The following night, Saturday, August 21, the Rislone URC Sprints will invade the Selinsgrove Speedway. 

Kevin Nouse may have his eye on that Bedford checker flag but URC's top two point men will be looking for that win as well.   Defending URC Champion JJ Grasso will go into Bedford with a fifty-five point advantage over six time URC Champion Curt Michael.  Grasso has three wins this season as Curt Michael delivered a convincing win on Saturday night at Lincoln.  Michael has been wearing down the point lead held by Grasso over the past three weekends.  Justin Collett, Josh Weller and Randy West make-up URC's top five in points and they'll be in the hunt as well.

On Saturday night, a return visit to the always fast and exciting Selinsgrove Speedway is on the schedule.   Both events at Bedford and Selinsgrove are point races for the season long Valley Forge INC Pennsylvania Sprint Series.

CURT MICHAEL CHARGES FROM TENTH TO SCORE FIRST URC WIN OF 2010 ON VALLEY FORGE INC  NIGHT AT LINCOLN SPEEDWAY

Curt Michael of Ocean View, DE  charged from his tenth place starting position to take the lead on lap eleven and ran uncontested to win the 25 lap Rislone URC Sprint feature Saturday night at the Lincoln Speedway.   For Michael, it was his first win of the season and his forty-third career URC victory.   The win for Michael came on a night that was sponsored by his sponsor Valley Forge Inc and car owner Bill Gallagher was on hand for the impressive victory.   Michael also picked up valuable points in chase of a seventh URC title, as he reels in current point leader JJ Grasso who finished a strong  third in the feature.

A field of twenty-seven URC sprint cars turned out for the fourteenth events of the Rislone Series with heat race victories going to Jimmy Stitzel, Trevor Lewis and Rory Janney as Kevin Darling won the "B" Main.

Jimmy Stitzel led the field into turn one at the start of the twenty-five lap feature, but the yellow was displayed at Trevor Lewis spun in turn two.   On the restart, Stitzel led the first lap with Justin Collett taking the lead on lap two.   Collett  quickly established a solid lead with Stitzel following in second and Kramer Williamson third.    Robbie Stillwaggon began his climb to the front, passing Williamson  on lap six.

The turning point of the race started with a caution flag on lap eight when the yellow flag was displayed for Kevin Nouse who stopped on the homestretch.    On the restart,  Collett set the pace with Curt Michael now racing in second as Robbie Stillwaggon, Jimmy Stitzel and Nick  Schlauch Jr (who started 16th) were now in a battle for third.     With ten laps in the books, Stitzel, Stillwaggon and Schlauch Jr tangled in turn one with Stitzel and Schlauch Jr flipping.   The red was displayed and all drivers walked away uninjured.

On the restart, Collett moved to the top of the speedway opening the door for Curt Michael to make a strong run off turn four to take the lead.      At the halfway point, Michael held a solid lead over  Collett with Janney third, Williamson fourth and current point leader JJ Grasso now in the top five.  By lap fifteen, Grasso was fourth and two laps later, he was third.

As Grasso was making his way to the front, Curt Michael was now coming up on slower traffic, while still maintaining a comfortable lead over Collett.   in the closing laps, Grasso did inch in on Collett as Michael established a lead that was not to be challenged.

With the checker flag waiving, Curt Michael took the win over Justin Collett, JJ Grasso, Rory Janney and Kramer Williamson.

FEATURE:  Curt Michael, Justin Collett, JJ Grasso, Rory Janney, Kramer Williamson, Randy West, Trevor Lewis, Mark Bitner, Josh Weller, Tim Iulg, Art Liedl, Becca Anderson, Gary Gollub, Kevin Darling, Tim Hogue, Kyle Purks, Robbie Stillwaggon, Jonathan Swanson, Tim Higgins,  Andy Best, Chris Weiss, Jimmy Stitzel, Nick Schlauch Jr., Kevin Nouse.  DNQ- - - Jerry Speck, Mike Kostic, Bill Unglert.

RISLONE URC POINT CHASE TIGHTENS, GRASSO LEADS AS CURT MICHAEL INCHES CLOSER AFTER THIRTEEN EVENTS

URC's defending champion and current point leader JJ Grasso will roll into the Lincoln Speedway this Saturday night with just a sixty-eight point advantage over runner-up Curt Michael.  In URC competition, points are awarded for heat race and feature finishes so every spot counts.

Grasso from Pedricktown, NJ well known as the "Jersey Jet",  is a fan favorite for his exciting and always "on the edge of your seat" driving style. On Saturday night during the Bridgeport Speedway banner night competition, many race fans displayed banners for JJ Grasso.  After thirteen URC events this season, Grasso driving the Palladino/BK Leasing #99 own three wins, and the point lead.  At Bridgeport, Grasso finished second in the twenty-five lap URC sprint car feature after Trevor Lewis made the winning pass on the last turn of the final lap.   Finishing third was Curt Michael, URC's six time champion, who can almost smell a seventh championship. 

Like a lion hunting its' prey, Michael is using his experience, lap by lap, to reel in Grasso.  At one point of the season, Michael was fourth in the title chase. Curt now sits in the runner-up spot and is well aware of how to collect points, after all, he is a six time champion, winning five title consecutively.  Driving the Bill Gallagher owned Valley Forge INC sprinter, Michael is reaching his hot point of the season and, he won this event one year ago at Lincoln.  

While Grasso holds three wins so far this season, Curt Michael is still looking for his first win of 2010, and he would love to pull off that victory at Lincoln Speedway, a track where he enjoyed much success throughout his career.

So the battle continues.  The young and exciting JJ Grasso and the well experienced veteran Curt Michael have ten races (or so) remaining to settle the title.   With that said, let's not count our Justin Collett who sits third in the point chase, trailing  Michael by just one-hundred and eleven points as fourth place Josh Weller is just forty-three points behind Collett.   Sitting fifth in the point chase is Kevin Nouse, fifty-three points behind Weller. 

The title chase is just that close. History would point us in the direction of Grasso or Michael winning the title, but it's still too early to count out Collett, Weller or Nouse.

Other drivers enjoy great season in 2010 include Randy West in the Fred's Trailer Parts #56.  After an impressive win at the New Egypt Speedway, West is sixth in points.  Robbie Stillwaggon is looking for his first win of the season and is ranked seventh in the point chase.   Three time feature winner this season Trevor Lewis is eighth in points over Kevin Darling and Art Liedl to round out the top ten.

The Rislone URC Sprints will head to the Lincoln Speedway this Saturday night where the title battle will continue.

FRED'S TRAILER PARTS NEW JERSEY SERIES CONTINUES. . . . .
LEWIS MAKES LAST LAP PASS ON GRASSO, SCORES IMPRESSIVE RISLONE URC SPRINT SERIES FEATURE WIN SATURDAY NIGHT AT BRIDGEPORT

This was as good as a race could get!

The Rislone URC Sprint Series ended a string of three consecutive nights of racing on Saturday night at the fastest track on the URC Series, the Bridgeport Speedway in Bridgeport, NJ.  At the end of a wild twenty-five lap feature event, Trevor Lewis driving the Scott McClaren owned sprinter, made a last  move on race leader JJ Grasso entering turn three.  Charging off of turn four, Lewis had the advantage and took the win, his third of 2010 and nineteenth career win for the driver from Upper Black Eddy, PA.

A field of twenty-eight sprint cars took part in the program with heat race victories going to Jonathan Swanson, Bill Unglert and Trevor Lewis as Nick Schlaugh, JR  took the win in the "B" Main.

Twenty-five cars started the twenty-five lap Rislone Sprint Series  feature event  and Jonathan Swanson quickly placed himself as the head of the pack at the drop of the green flag.    Bill Unglert followed in second with Robbie Stillwaggon now in third.  The first and only red flag of the event came on lap three for Scott Pursell who flipped in turn three.  Scott did walk away uninjured.

On the restart, Swanson continued to set the pace but now the "Jersey Jet"  JJ Grasso moved into second followed by Robbie Stillwaggon.   On lap six Grasso  became the new race leader and quickly established a comfortable lead.  Deeper in the pack was Trevor Lewis who was on his way to the front and racing in the top five by lap seven.

Grasso, Swanson, Stillwaggon, Lewis and Josh  Weller were the top five with six time URC Champion Curt Michael just outside the top five but in the chase.     At the halfway point of the race, Lewis moved into second but Grasso was far ahead with a comfortable lead.

With five laps remaining, Lewis had Grasso in his sights, Weller was third, Michael fourth and Stillwaggon fifth.     This feature was setting up for a classic finish as Grasso was now  racing with slower traffic and Lewis was coming.   On lap twenty-two, Curt Michael moved into third  with Weller and Stillwaggon rounding out the top five.

The white flag was waiving and Grasso held about a twelve  car length lead with the heavy foot of Trevor Lewis buried deep and hard on the gas.  On the final lap heading into turn three, Grasso looked to the far outside of the lapped cars as Lewis charged to the low side.  Lewis had the advantage off of turn four and took the checker flag with Grasso delivering a strong second place finish.    Curt Michael rallied home with a solid third place finish followed by Josh Weller and Robbie Stillwaggon.

RISLONE URC SPRINT SERIES FEATURE EVENT:   Trevor Lewis, JJ Grasso, Curt Michael, Josh Weller, Robbie Stillwaggon, Kevin Nouse, Bill Unglert,  Jonathan Swanson, Mark Bitner, Randy West, Andy Best, Becca Anderson, Joe Iulg, Kevin Darling,  Justin Collett, Art Liedl, Kramer Williamson,  Rory Janney, Kyle Purks, Nick Schlauch Jr., Tim Higgins, Jimmy Stitzel, Tim Hogue, Gary Gollub and Scott Pursell.

VALLEY FORGE INC NIGHT GOES OVER BIG AT THE GROVE . . . . . . .
DARYN PITTMAN POCKETS $4,000 AND FIRST URC RISLONE SPRINT NATIONALS VICTORY FRIDAY NIGHT AT WILLIAMS GROVE SPEEDWAY

Daryn Pittman made short work of a big and very  talented field to collect $4,000 for his victory in the twenty-five lap URC Rislone 360 Sprint Nationals at the Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night.  Pittman led the entire twenty-five lap distance to score the win.  Aaron  Ott (2009), Kenny Adams (2008), Ed Aikin (2007) and Pat Cannon won the inaugural running of this event in 2006 and now Pittman joins the roster  of talent on the past winners list.    On several occasions,  Pat Cannon  moved close enough to challenge Pittman for the lead  but with each challenge, Pittman fought back stronger and stronger to eventually earn the win.

Pat Cannon set the fastest time of the forty-two car field, stopping the clocks at 18.301.    The four heat race winners were Pat Cannon, Curt Michael, Mark Smith and Randy West as the "B" Main victory went to Becca Anderson.

At the start of the twenty-five lap Rislone Sprint Nationals, the red was displayed before the completion of lap one for Aaron Ott who flipped in turn three when his top wing collapsed.   When green flag racing resumed,  Pittman led the field into turn one with Pat Cannon and Trevor in the chase.     Also on a charge was Mark Smith who was up to fourth   and looking to advance into the top three.

At the halfway point of the race, Pittman remained in control over Cannon, Smith, McIntyre and Blane Heimbach.  On lap twenty-two, the final caution of the race was displayed when a two car tangle involving Bryn Gohn and Bill Unglert was displayed.   No one was hurt in this mix-up.

With green flag racing once again underway, Pittman had the field covered as he ran to hide from the competition.   Cannon, Smith, McIntyor and Heimbach followed in the top five.

For Pittman, it was an impressive wire-to-wire victory and the $4,000 in cash was well appreciated.   Pat Cannon finished second followed  by Mark Smith, Jerard McIntyre and Heimbach.

BIG CROWD FILLS THE STANDS, FORTY-TWO  SPRINTS FILL THE PITS AS AARON OTT WINS THE KASEY KAHNE FOUNDATION OLLIE'S BATTLE AT THE GROVE THURSDAY NIGHT

A big crowd filled the Williams Grove Speedway grandstands on Thursday night as the Kasey Kahne Foundation Ollie's Battle at the Grove took center stage.    The event sanctioned by the United Racing Company, attracted an impressive field of forty-two 360/358 sprints cars that  filled the pits and included NASCAR stars Kasey Kahne and Tony Stewart.  After time trials, qualifying heat race events and a dash, Aaron Ott of Mechanicsburg, PA collected the $3,000 first place prize after taking the lead from Curt Michael, who led the first thirteen laps of the 25 lap feature event.    Kasey Kahne finished tenth as Tony Stewart finished eleventh.

Pat Cannon set fast time of the night as heat race victories went to Aaron Ott, Blane Heimbach, Trevor Lewis and Tony Stewart as Jerard McIntyre Jr. won the "B" Main.   Blane Heimbach won the dash with Pat Cannon second to earn  the front row in the twenty-four car starting field for the Ollie's Battle at the Grove.

A false start at the drop of the green of the feature event brought the starting field back.  As a result of the false start, Heimbach and Cannon were moved to the second row, advancing URC six time Champion Curt Michael and Daryn Pittman to the front row.  At the drop of the green flag, Michael of Ocean View, DE immediately took the lead as Pat Cannon followed in second with Pittman third.

Michael continued to set the pace but lap after lap Cannon just kept working the bottom groove of the raceway.  Pittman stayed within striking distance of the front runners, carefully planning his next move.

On lap six the yellow was displayed for Trevor Lewis who tagged the fourth turn wall and came to a stop.  On the restart, Michael resumed the lead spot with Cannon and Pittman on his rear bumper.    As the field crossed for the halfway sign,  there was a four battle for the lead, as Michael, Cannon, Aaron Ott and Pittman were racing under a blanket as Mark Smith rounded out the top five.  The pressure was on and in one sweeping move, Ott passed both Cannon and Michael to become the new race leader.  Ott quickly ran to hide from the rest of the field as Michael was left to battle off Cannon and Pittman.

Cannon made the move for second on lap sixteen and began his attempt to reel in Ott.   At the same time, Pittman made the pass on Michael to take over third.   Ott, Cannon and Pittman set a blistering pace but now all eyes were watching Kasey Kahne and Tony Stewart as they were battling for a top ten finish.

Cory Haas brought out a yellow on lap twenty-three which gathered  the  field for an exciting green, white and checker feature finish.

With the green flag waiving to restart the feature,  Ott ran to hide from the field as  Cannon and Heimbach followed.   Michael changed his strategy from chasing down Pittman to holding off Mark Smith.  With the checker flag displayed, Ott collected the $3,000 payday over Pat Cannon, Daryn Pittman, Curt Michael and Mark Smith.  Rounding out the top ten were Jerard McIntyre Jr.,  Blane Heimbach, Alan Krimes,  Kramer Williamson and Kasey Kahne.

Ollie's Challenge at the Grove 25 laps:  Aaron Ott, Pat Cannon, Daryn Pittman, Curt Michael, Mark Smith, Jerard McIntyre Jr., Blane Heimbach, Alan Krimes, Kramer Williamson, Kasey Kahne, Tony Stewart,  Kyle Moody,  Jessaca Anderson, Robbie Stillwaggon, JJ Grasso,  Scott Geesey,  Josh Weller,  Bryn Gohn,  Cory Haas, Kyle Purks, Davey Sammons,  Kevin Nouse, Trevor Lewis, Midge Miller.

The URC Rislone Sprint Series will return to the Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night for the Rislone URC 360 Sprint Challenge paying $4,000 to the winner.  On Saturday night, the URC sprints will be in action at the Bridgeport Speedway in Bridgeport, NJ.

URC TO OPEN THREE RACE WEEKEND THURSDAY NIGHT AT WILLIAMS GROVE

With ten Rislone URC Sprint Series events in the books for 2010, a busy three race weekend is on the schedule and it all gets underway Thursday night at the Williams Grove Speedway.   URC is the sanctioning body for the Kasey Kahne Foundation/ Ollie's Battle at the Grove on Thursday night.  Although this is not a URC point race, many of the top drivers of URC are expected to be in the field including point leader and defending URC Champion JJ Grasso, six time Champion Curt Michael, Justin Collett and Josh Weller.  A $3,000 payday will go to the winner of this unique specialty event on the URC schedule.   The following night, URC will again be at the Williams Grove Speedway for the $4,000 to win Rislone 360 Sprint Nationals.

Friday  night will mark the fifth running of the Rislone Nationals and past winners include Aaron Ott (2009), Kenny Adams (2008), Ed Aikin (2007) and Pat Cannon won the inaugural running of this event in 2006.  The Rislone Nationals offers the best payoff of the season for the competitors of URC, paying $4,000 to the winner,   $1,000 for tenth with $300 being offered just to take the green in the twenty-five lap feature.     Along with URC's top brass, expect to see some of the Williams Grove locals jump in a 360 sprint for this event.  Possible entries include Mark Smith, Brian Montieth and defending winner Aaron Ott.

On Saturday night, the Rislone URC Sprint Series moves to the Bridgeport Speedway.   URC opened their 2010 campaign at Bridgeport on April 10 and Trevor Lewis was the feature winner.

The season long point chase is very tight and with two of the three events this weekend offering points, a lot can happen.   The Jersey Jet, JJ Grasso hold the point lead but close in the chase is URC's  top point chaser Curt Michael.  Also very close in the running is Justin Collett in the John Pinter owned sprinter along with URC's "Wild Child" Josh Weller.  Randy West, Robbie Stillwaggon, Kramer Williamson, Kyle Purks Scott Pursell and Nick Schlauch Jr are just some of the talent that will be in the field at the Bridgeport Speedway on Saturday night.

VIPER FUEL JOINS ON TAYLOR & MESSICK NIGHT. . . . .
JJ GRASSO POCKETS  $2,500 IN  THRILLER SATURDAY NIGHT AT DELAWARE INTERNATIONAL,  EARNS 50TH CAREER URC OWNERS WIN FOR KATHY & PAT PALLADINO

JJ Grasso of  Pedricktown, NJ once again added spice to an already exciting Rislone URC sprint feature on Saturday night at the Delaware International Speedway, winning his third feature of the season, in his typical stand on the gas style.   It was the third win of the season for Grasso and for car owners Pat and Kathy Palladino, this victory marked their fiftieth car owner victory in URC.  It was a joyous victory ceremony with champagne spraying in victory lane.

Grasso, threading his way through traffic in high, wide and handsome style,  took the lead on lap sixteen of the twenty-five lap feature and went on to collect the $2,500 first place prize.  Viper Fuel added an additional $1,000 to the payoff with Grasso earning $500 of the bonus for the victory.   Justin Collett earned and additional $250 of Viper money along with Becca Anderson, Kevin Darling, Kramer Williamson and Robbie Stillwaggon each earning an extra $50 courtesy of Viper.

A field of twenty-seven URC sprint cars turned out for the tenth event of the season with heat race victories going to Andy Best, Kevin Darling and Tim Hogue as Jimmy Stitzel earned the win in the "B" Main.

In the feature event, Tim Hogue set the pace at the drop of the green flag.  As the second lap was completed, the yellow was displayed when Justin Jones spun in turn two.  The following lap, the yellow fell once again, this time for Chris Weiss who spun.

When green flag racing resumed, Tim Hogue remained the pace setter with Kevin Darling in the chase.  On a charge was Becca Anderson along with Kevin Nouse.  With five laps complete, Hogue was the leader followed by Darling, Anderson, Nouse and Curt Michael.

By lap nine, six time champion Curt Michael moved into third with JJ Grasso fourth.   Grasso made the move past Michael on lap twelve and set his sights on the leaders.   Randy West brought out the final caution of the race on lap sixteen, stopping in turn four.

On the restart, Hogue had the lead with the fast company of JJ Grasso and Curt Michael hot on his heels.    Going into turn on, Grasso took the lead and Michael followed in second as Hogue, Josh Weller and Becca Anderson made up the top five.

Grasso maintained a comfortable lead over Michael as the action was shaping up for third.  Weller passed Hogue for third and then began to reel in Michael.   Kevin Nouse was on a charge and moved into the top five on lap nineteen.

In the final laps, Grasso was approaching slower traffic but managed to maintain his lead over Michael.  In the meantime, Weller moved closer to Michael.   With the white flag waiving, Weller was now within striking distance of Michael in a battle for second.

With the checker flag waiving, Grasso took the win over Michael, Weller, Hogue and Kevin Nouse.


FEATURE FINISH:  JJ Grasso, Curt Michael, Josh Weller,  Tim Hogue, Kevin Nouse, Justin Collett, Art Liedl, Becca Anderson, Kevin Darling, Jimmy Stitzel, Kramer  Williamson, Robbie Stillwaggon, Nick Schlauch Jr.,  Rory Janney, Andy Best,  Randy West, Tim Iulg, Jonathan Swanson, Tim Higgins, Bill Unglert, Kenny Meisner, Scott Pursell, Chris Weiss,  Justin Jones.  DNQ- - Kyle Purks, Johnny Zimmerman, Joe Zuczek.

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.

MR. TWISTER, MARK BITNER TAKES RISLONE URC SPRINT SERIES VICTORY ON VALLEY FORGE INC NIGHT AT LINCOLN SATURDAY

The Rislone URC Sprint Series made their first stop of 2010 at the Lincoln Speedway on Saturday night as the Valley Forge INC Pennsylvania Sprint Series continued.  Mark Bitner of Trenton, NJ took the lead from Nick Schlauch Jr on lap four and never looked back.  For Bitner it was a convincing win, surviving several  cautions including a yellow on lap twenty-three of the twenty-five lap feature event  to collect the $2,000 first place prize money.  For Bitner, it was his first win of the season and third career victory with URC.

Before the first lap of the feature could be completed, the yellow was displayed for an eight car mishap entering turn one.  Pole setter Rory Janney spun entering the turn and collected seven our sprint cars.  On the restart, Holland, PA driver  Nick Schlauch Jr set the  space with Mark Bitner and Justin Collett in the chase.   On lap five, Schlauch turned over the top spot to  Bitner as he ran from the rest of the field .

Deep in the pack, Curt Michael and JJ Grasso were in a battler to break into the top five, then on lap nine, the previous URC feature winner Randy West came to a stop in turn two, again bringing out the yellow flag.

On the restart Bitner, Schlauch and Justin Collett continued to hold down the top five as Curt Michael and JJ Grasso were on their drive to the top five.   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.

Following Bitner to the Lincoln Speedway victory lane was Nick Schlauch with Josh Weller, Kevin Nouse and Curt Michael making up to the top five.

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

RAIN STOPS RANDY WEST FOR ONE WEEK, RISLONE URC SPRINTS EYE A BUSY ENDING TO JULY. . .
FAST TRACK 360 Sprint Shoot Out at Rolling Wheels Quickly Approaching

The forecast of heavy rain most of the day on Saturday, forced the management of the Bridgeport Speedway to cancel their scheduled racing event that included the Rislone URC Sprints. Randy West of Boyertown, PA won the URC feature last Saturday night at the New Egypt Speedway and was looking for a double. West will have to wait until next Saturday night, July 17 when URC heads to the Lincoln Speedway.

A busy two day URC weekend is on tap July 23rd and July 24 at the Rolling Wheels Raceway with The Fast Track 360 Sprint Car Summer Shoot out. The Friday night event will offer the attractive URC weekly payout of $2,000 to win the 25 lap feature event. The following night will be The Fast Track 360 Sprint Summer Shoot out Final, paying $3,000 to the winner. The Rislone URC Sprint Series will close out the month at the Delaware International Speedway on Saturday night, July 31.

The two-day Fast Track 360 Sprint Shoot out is sanctioned by the United Racing Company, but the field of competitors will stretch far and beyond just the best of URC. A field of more then sixty 360 sprint cars are expected for this first time ever, mid-summer sprint car shoot out. In the past, Rolling Wheels was the long time home of the New Sprint Challenge event held during Super DIRT weekend. That event now moves to the Weedsport Speedway as the Rolling Wheels Raceway welcomes the two day Fast Track 360 Sprint Shoot out.

Opening night of the Fast Track Sprint Shoot out will offer heat race qualifying, two "B" main events and a $2,000 to win 25 lap feature and $200 to take the green. This event is open to all 360 sprints and an open draw will determine the starting line-ups for the heats. Tow money of $75 will be paid to all non-qualified cars. For URC, this event will offer a 50 point minimum.

The following night, Saturday, July 24 the sprint cars will complete in group (warm-ups) timed qualifying to determine the starting line-ups for the heat race events. The Fast Track Sprint Shoot out Finale will pay $3,000 to the winner, a minimum of $250 to take the green and tow money of $75 for non-qualified cars.

Rolling Wheels is the place to be July 23 and July 24 for this first time mid-summer sprint spectacular. See the best 360 sprint car drivers all at one track, to include JJ Grasso, Trevor Lewis, Randy West, Josh Weller, Justin Collett, Kramer Williamson, Curt Michael, Kevin Nouse, Robbie Stillwaggon, Chris Coyle, Lance Yonge, Justin Barger, Steve Poirier, Jessica Zemken, Dan Kaszubinski, Chuck Hebing, Jeff Cook, Tommy Weickham, Michael Parent, Alain Bergeron, Bryan Howeland, Bubba Broderick, Jared Zimbardi, Kyle Drum, George Suprick, Mike Lauterborn and Vern Wasson just to name a few.

Also making his way to the top five is the "Wild Child" Josh Weller of Mertztown, PA.   Weller also has a URC win this season and is known in the URC ranks for coming from deep in the pack on a mission to get to the front.

URC's feature winners this season include JJ "The Jersey Jet" Grasso with two wins along with Trevor Lewis, also a two time winner.  Drivers earning one win this season include Justin Collett, Andy Best, Josh Weller and Randy West.

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.

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.   Sammons delivered a great ride to finish second followed by Kevin Nouse, Kevin Darling and a fast closing Josh Weller who nipped Curt Michael on the final lap for fifth.

With six Rislone URC Sprint Series events now in the books, the excitement has be plentiful.  One thing for sure, no one has been running away with the show.   Trevor Lewis was red hot early in the season winning two of the first three shows and remains the only two time winner this season.   Justin Collett driving the John Pinter owned sprinter won his first URC show of the season on April 17 and is  off to one of his best seasons ever.  2009 Rookie driver Andy Best pulled off an upset win at the Delaware International Speedway on April 29, winning the 25 lap Rislone feature event.

Josh Weller was pretty much untouchable at the Georgetown Speedway earning his first win of the season.   Saturday night at the Grandview Speedway, Weller delivered another strong ride finishing second.   Defending URC Champion JJ Grasso won his first URC feature of the season Saturday night at the Grandview Speedway after being involved in a heat race accident.

A show stopper performance was delivered by Curt Michael at Grandview.  After qualifying through the "B" main, Michael passed an impressive nineteen cars to finish fifth.

Going into Delaware International on Saturday night, Grasso is the Rislone URC point leader over Curt Michael, Justin Collett, Trevor Lewis and Randy West.  The competition in URC just can't get any better then this!

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.  DNQ - - Kevin Welsh,  Jack Conover, Davey Sammons, Nick Schlauch Jr.

A BAD START, ENDS GOOD FOR SPRINT STAR TYLER WALKER, CRAIG WHITMOYER WINS NON-STOP SPORTSMAN FEATURE IN THUNDER ON THE HILL SEASON OPENER

For the twenty-first season and ninety-second event of the NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series presented by COMDIAL Telephone Communications and Lee Myles, the race fans were once again treated to a thriller at the Grandview Speedway. The always exciting Tyler Walker of Los Angeles, CA began his night with a hard hit to the third turn wall that ended in a series of flips. And that's how his night started in warm-ups. But when the checker flag fell at the completion of the 35 lap Keystone Cup Sprint Series opener, it was Walker doing donuts on the homestretch and back-flips in victory lane as he collected the $5,000 first place prize money. The race provided a storybook finish for Walker. Also on the program was the Sportsman stock cars and Craig Whitmoyer took the win after a fierce battle with Brad Grim in their 20 lap feature that went non-stop.

The 410 sprints opened the program with time trials as Daryn Pittman set fast time of 11.889 for the one third mile high banked oval. Three heat race events were presented with victories going to Mark Smith and Lance Dewease. After crashing in warm-ups, a disappointed Walker pulled his back-up Keen Motorsports sprinter from the trailer and without an opportunity to warm-up the second car, he went on to win the third heat.

In their 35 lap feature event, Greg Hodnett, the defending Thunder on the Hill Series Champion led the first lap after two restart attempts. As the field completed lap two, Ryan Taylor flipped, displaying the red flag. On the restart, Hodnett was the pace setter followed by Chad Layton and Stevie Smith. The yellow flag was displayed on lap five, this time for Doug Esh.

On the restart, Hodnett was still in command over Layton and Smith with Lance Dewease now in the battle, racing in fourth. A caution on lap eleven for Steve Petry slowed the field once again. The restart saw Hodnett battling with Layton as Smith, Walker and Dewease made up the top five.

By lap fourteen, Hodnett was on point with Tyler Walker in second followed by Layton, Smith and Dewease. Stevie Smith went to the top of the track and moved into second on lap sixteen. One lap later, Smith made a bid for the lead using the high groove, but Hodnett was up to the challenge as the field passed for the halfway sign. Suddenly the top five shuffled again on lap nineteen as Hodnett held the lead with Walker in second and Dewease in third. Smith followed in fourth with Daryn Pittman now in fifth. The shuffling was far from over.

Hodnett had his hands full with Walker using every inch of the speedway, looking for a lane to pass. On laps twenty-five and twenty-six, Hodnett and Walker crossed the line in a near tie. Finally, on lap twenty-seven, Walker wrestled the lead from Hodnett. Dewease was now running a solid third and he made up ground as Walker and Hodnett battled for the lead. It was shaping up to be a three car race for the lead. Then Daryn Pittman moved into the mix to make it even more interesting.

In the closing laps, Walker extended his lead to take the win over Greg Hodnett with Lance Dewease in third. Fred Rahmer made a late race rally to finish fourth with Daryn Pittman making up the top five.

A field of thirty-seven Sportsman Modifieds turned out for their first even on the Thunder Series. Heat race winners include Doug Hendricks, Kyle Weiss, Justin Holland and Mike Loney. Two consolation events were presented with victories going to Mick Petrilak and Ray Woodall Jr.

The field of twenty-four Sportsman Modifieds took the green flag wit Kevin Smith setting the early pace. Brad Grim was challenging for the outset and on lap six, he became the new leader. Then Craig Whitmoyer was on a run, now racing in second followed by Mike Loney. Grim and Whitmoyer battled lap after lap, then on lap fourteen, Whitmoyer became the new leader.

One lap later, Grim was again on top to lead laps fifteen and sixteen before turning the lead over to Whitmoyer on lap seventeen. Whitmoyer set the pace for the final four laps to earn the win, his first ever under the Thunder on the Hill banner. Following Whitmoyer to victory lane was Brad Grim, Mike Loney, Justin Holland and Kyle Weiss.

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.  DNQ- - Mike Kostic, Scott Pursell,  Justin Jones,  Tim Iulg, Jack Conover.

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.

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.
