RISLONE URC SPRINT SERIES

CURT MICHAEL RETURNS TO THE TOP OF THE RISLONE URC POINT CHASE

It's a position he knows well. Curt Michael of Ocean View, DE is a seven time champion on the Rislone URC Sprint Series point chase and following a solid second place finish on Friday night at the Big Diamond Raceway, he now leads the 2011 run for the title. Over the past five weeks, Curt Michael driving the Valley Forge INC 5G was wearing down the point lead established by JJ Grasso and going into Big Diamond, the difference between first and second was less than one-hundred points.

Although Michael delivered a solid run at Big Diamond, the turning point of the night, and possibly the point chase was that fact the Palladino Motorsports #99 remained in the trailer the entire night. That car, driven by then point leader JJ Grasso, was not going to compete in the Big Diamond event. All the facts around what may have happened may be unclear, but when the car was scratched from the heat race, the reason given was that the driver did not arrive at the track on time. The future of this team remains in question.

One thing for sure, Curt Michael knows how to win URC championships so regaining the lead in the title chase may be a huge battle. Seven point race events still remain on the Rislone URC Sprint Series so anything can happen.

URC will next be in action on Friday, August 26 at the Williams Grove Speedway in a challenge race with the 358 sprints. The following night, Saturday, August 27 URC will make a visit to the Port Royal Speedway, the first visit to this track by URC since 1967. This event will be open to 358 sprints to compete.

Following Michael and Grasso in the point chase is Randy West of Boyertown, PA. West drives the Fred Kennedy owned sprinter with Josh Weller of Mertztown, PA fourth in points. Robbie Stillwaggon rounds out the top five in the Rislone URC Sprint Series point standings.
