RISLONE URC SPRINT SERIES

Valley Forge INC presents:

CURT MICHAEL LEADS WIRE-TO-WIRE FOR FIRST RISLONE URC SPRINT SERIES WIN OF 2011 SATURDAY NIGHT AT LINCOLN SPEEDWAY

Curt Michael of Ocean View, DE scored his first Rislone URC Sprint Series feature win Saturday night at the Lincoln Speedway on Valley Forge INC Night. Michael, the seven time URC champion started outside the front row and led the entire twenty-five lap feature event. For Michael, this victory marked his forty-fifth career win under the URC banner.

Ed Aikin of Lincoln University, PA set fast time in time trials earning the LikeWise Fast Time bonus. URC heat race events were won by JJ Grasso, Curt Michael and Josh Weller.

Rory Janney and Curt Michael made up the front row to start the feature with Curt Michael taking the lead at the immediate drop of the green flag. Michael established a solid lead as Jenny was left to battle with Dave Ely. On lap three, Ely moved into second and took his shot at chasing down the leader. Jenny continued to fight back and on lap seven, he regained the second spot dropping Ely to third.

The race ran caution free at the halfway point it was still Curt Michael, Rory Janney, Dave Ely, Kevin Nagy and Ed Aikin making up the top five. By lap eighteen, Michael was coming up on slower traffic and Jenny started to reel in the leader. Third place runner Dave Ely was also catching the leaders. With just five laps remaining, Curt Michael clearly had his hands full with lapped traffic and the top three were now nose to tail.

Second place runner Rory Janney stayed right on the rear bumper of Michael, waiting for the leader to bobble, but it never happened. Curt Michael took the win just two car lengths ahead of runner-up Rory Janney who scored his best URC career feature finish with a second. Dave Ely finished third followed by Kevin Nagy and Ed Aikin.
