From URSS
The “Month of Money” will come to a close as the United Rebel Sprint Series hosts two races this weekend on one might say two tracks that are as far apart as you can get. The 2015 Myers Engine URSS National Points chase continues as the Rebels will tackle two of the driver’s favorite tracks. The National Points race is tight as the top four positions are separated by only eighteen points. Defending 2013-14 URSS National Points Champion Jake Bubak once again leads the points chase with Luke Cranston trailing by four points, with Steven Richardson and Zach Blurton tied for the third spot a mere fourteen points back. Jed Werner holds down the fifth spot with Brian Herbert and Jeremy Huish hot on his heels.
The Rebels open the weekend Friday July 31st at the always popular Rush County Speedway in LaCrosse, Kansas. Affectionately dubbed the “Bull Ring” this quarter mile semi-banked oval has provided some great racing over the years. In the ten previous appearances, seven drivers have graced victory lane. Jon Johnson, Brandon Fisher, CJ Johnson, Ray Seemann (2), Jason Martin (2), Jake Bubak (2) and Jared Kern have all picked up wins at the beautifully prepared oval. The “Bullring Nationals” will pay $1,000.00 to the winner and $200.00 to start the thirty lap Feature. Joining the URSS Sprint Cars will be the Vintage Racers as well as a concert by the Wes Cossman Band under the grandstands at 5:00pm.
The Rebels will continue the two night Myers Engine URSS National Points Series at the famed Belleville High Banks as part of the famed Belleville Midget Nationals weekend. The sweeping half mile high banks have provided fans with some great racing action in the eight times the Rebels have appeared there. Only three drivers have won at the oval, with Ray Seemann , Brian Herbert and Luke Cranston have victories at the Historic track. Luke Cranston has scored an amazing six wins at the famed Belleville Highbanks including two wins in 2011 and three wins in 2012. The Cranston Racing Team appears to be the ones to beat for the $2,000.00 to win $300.00 to start thirty lap A Main.
