Georgetown Speedway Back in Action Friday, September 21 with September Showdown
GEORGETOWN, DE – After nearly a month of inactivity, action returns to Georgetown Speedway on Friday, September 21.
The ‘September Showdown’ features a full lineup of auto racing on the banked, half-mile oval. The lightning-fast Capitol Renegade United Racing Club (URC) 360 Sprint Cars make their only 2018 appearance at Georgetown, competing in a 25-lap A-Main.

Curt Michael of nearby Ocean View, Del., sits second, only one point behind Weller. Currently third through fifth, respectively, are Eddie Strada of Lake Ariel, Pa., Chad Layton of Harrisburg, Pa., and Ryan Quackenbush of Goshen, N.Y.
URC officials are working diligently to bring a strong field south to the First State for this event.
