By Bob Miller

Davie “No Panic” Franek is hot off a Rislone URC Sprint Series feature win at the Selinsgrove Speedway back on June 28 and he’s looking to make it two in a row on Saturday, July 26. This will mark the fourteenth URC event of the season as Franek of Wantage, NJ is also URC’s point leader. The Selinsgrove URC victory for Franek was his second career win with URC.

Heading to Selinsgrove on Saturday night, July 26 with Davie Franek will be Randy West of Boyertown, PA, the current runner-up in points. Josh Weller, Robbie Stillwaggon, Troy Betts, Ed Aikin, Will Eggimann, Jimmy Stitzel, Andy Best and Jonathan Swanson just to name a few. On team Selinsgrove will be Mark Smith, Selinsgrove point leader along with Pat Cannon, TJ Stutts, Jason Shultz, Ryan Kissinger, Brock Zearfoss, Derek Locke and Cody Keller.

Qualifying heat race events will lead up to a 25 lap feature event with race time set for 7 PM.

The action continues on Friday night, August 1, as the $4,000 to win Rislone Nationals will invade the Williams Grove Speedway. This high paying event will offer $1,000 for tenth and $325 to take the green in the 25 lap main event. Defending winner Mark Smith is expected to drive his MACH 1 Chassis sprinter in this event. Past winners include Tony Stewart (2012), Lance Dewease 2011, Daryn Pittman 2010, Aaron Ott 2009, Kenny Adams 2008, Ed Aikin 2007 and the inaugural winner was Pat Cannon in 2006.
