By admin September 2, 2020 Georgetown Speedway, URC

GEORGETOWN, DE – For the first – and only – time in 2020, the potent United Racing Club (URC) 360 Sprint Cars tackle Georgetown Speedway on Friday, September 11.

The progressively banked half-mile oval returns to action on the 11th with the first URC appearance since the speedway was resurfaced following the mid-March season opener. URC competitors will battle in qualifying races and a lightning-fast 25-lap main event.

Josh Weller of Mertztown, Pa., has won the last two URC 360 Sprint Car visits to Georgetown. Last year, he defeated Chad Layton, J.J. Grasso, Austin Bishop, and Delaware resident Curt Michael.

L&J Sheet Metal Modifieds return to the speedway following a highly entertaining ‘Blast at the Beach’ event on Aug. 25. The big-block/small-block Modified contingent race for a $3,000 winner’s share and Sunoco Championship Series points.
