From URSS
The 2016 URSS/IMCA Racesaver Sprint Series will kick off its return to Colorado Motorsports Park Saturday night. The 3/8’s mile oval hosted several events last season and will host eight races in 2016. The Colorado region is thick with talent, both young guns and seasoned veterans and looks to be ultra-competitive again this season. The Colorado Region produced both the URSS National Rookie of the Year Austin Mclean and three time URSS National Champion Jake Bubak. URSS regular Mark Walinder picked up the Colorado Motorsport Park Sprint Car Championship in 2015. This will also be the very first IMCA points awarded to determine a Colorado state champion.
Look for a strong contingent of Colorado drivers to hit the CMSP oval, Scotty Cochran, Luke Lucero, Coby Pierce, Mike Hathaway, Kevin Schramek, Clint Shubert, Brian and Butch Hardman, Zac Taylor to be joined by many of the Kansas region drivers as they all shoot it out for the top prize. Gates open at 5:00 pm with the racing action starting at 7:00 pm. Joining the URSS/IMCA Sprint Cars will be the Colorado Late Models, Modifieds, Sport Modifieds, Stock Cars and Extreme Trucks. For more information you can visit the CMSP website at http://www.coloradomotorsportsparkllc.com/ . Colorado Motorsports Park is located 44 miles east of Denver, I-70 exit #316.
The Rebels then make their second appearance at the lightning fast 3/8s Wakeeney Speedway Sunday night. Last trip there produced some of the closest racing in the URSS history as Promoter John LaShell and his staff gave the racers a fast multi groove race track which produced some exciting side by side racing for the lead between a pair of Quinter, Kansas racers Zach Blurton and C.J. Johnson with Blurton holding off Johnson to take his first win of the 2016 season. The racing surface also provided some impressive runs from Keizer Wheels Hard Charger Jeff Radcliffe +8, Luke Cranston +6, Brian Herbert +5 and Jake Martens +4 who all improved their starting spots to race their way into top six finishes. With the rains this last weekend the racing surface will once again be fast and tacky for the Rebels to do battle once again. Grandstands will open at 5:00 pm with the racing action starting at 6:30 pm. Joining the URSS/IMCA Sprint Cars will be Stocks, Hobbies, Sport Compacts and the Crazy Cruisers. You can visit their FaceBook page at 2016 Wakeeney Speedway for more information.
