HOLLY, MI. (June 16, 2014) The Must See Racing Xtreme Sprint Series will make their first ever appearance at Ovid, Michigan’s popular OWOSSO SPEEDWAY this Saturday, June 21. The 50 lap feature event will showcase the record setting and lightning fast winged sprinters on the 3/8 mile banked oval.
To date in 2014, MSRXSS has had four different winners in the first four events. Canadian Ryan Litt won the season opener at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola, Florida with Brian Gerster taking the honors at Mobile International Speedway in Mobile, Alabama during the opening “SOUTHERN SHOOTOUT” doubleheader weekend in April. Troy DeCaire of Denver, Colorado the 2010 and 2011 MSRXSS champion took the checkered flag at the 60 lap “MUST SEE RACING 60” during the Little 500 week at Anderson Speedway in May. The most recent feature winner was Toledo, Ohio’s Jimmy McCune at the Auto City Speedway “XTREME SPEED CHALLENGE” 50 lapper this past June 7th.
In the early season championship points battle, 2013 series Champion Brian Gerster holds a slim ten point lead over McCune followed closely by Daleville, Indiana’s Aaron Pierce , DeCaire, Litt and 2013 and 2014 PAY LESS LITTLE 500 Champion Jacob Wilson of Crawfordsville, Indiana. A mere 34 points separate the top five championship contenders. Anderson, Indiana’s Jim Sheets, Ryan Gillenwater of Canton, Michigan and California’s Kody Swanson, the current USAC Silver Crown points leader, follow closely in the 2014 MSRXSS championship chase.
Other drivers that are expected include National Sprint Car Hall of Famer Jeff Bloom, former HOSS Champion Tim Cox , two time 2014 non-winged winner John Turnbull Jr. , past Midget Champion Ike Beasley, Sprint on Dirt Champion Dustin Daggett, past Owosso feature winner Dave Baumgartner, Billy Wease, rookie of the year contender Tyler Underwood and others.
The Owosso Speedway event will be the second race of the MICHIGAN MUST SEE SEVEN miniseries that features a bonus points fund for the 2014 MSRXSS events in the State of Michigan. Race three will be on July 3 at the Auto City Speedway “FIRECRACKER 50/50” with a new and different racing format including two 50 lap qualifying races and a 50 Lap feature.
