Newberrytown, PA — (January 11, 2013) — After more than 20 years, full-size wingless Sprint Cars will compete at the Newberrytown oval on Sunday, June 9 as the final race of the USAC Eastern Storm Tour. The ARDC Midgets will also be on the racing card. This highly anticipated event will spark the interest of all race fans both young and old. The pit gates will open at 3:30 p.m. for the season opener. Grandstand gates will open at 4:00 p.m. Warm-ups begin at 5:30 p.m. with qualifying at 6:00 p.m. followed by consolation races and feature events. This will be the first-ever USAC-sanctioned event at the SSP.
“We are very excited about the return of the wingless Sprint Cars to SSP,” said Todd Fisher, owner of SSP. “The last time I saw a race like this at SSP was more than twenty years ago when I saw the CRA tour with Leland McSpadden of California took the checkers.”
