USAC Sprints to invade I-80 Speedway
United States Auto Club Sprints to hit I-80 Speedway
Back in the day, the United States Auto Club (USAC) Sprint Car Series was the road to Indy, but these days a big pocket book seems to be the fastest way to Indy. Years ago they labeled this famed Sprint Car Series “the Thunder and Lightning Division” and lets hope on Friday, June 2 at the I-80 Speedway for the I-80 Dirt Classic, the only thunder and lightning is the sound of USAC Sprint Cars.
Defending USAC Sprint Car champion Brady Bacon of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma has won at I-80 in a non-winged Sprint Car, taking the 2009 TNT Sprint Bandit feature win. Many of the younger USAC chauffeur’s have never raced at I-80. As for the AMSOIL USAC Sprints it will be their first-ever visit to the big wide oval of I-80 Speedway.
This year’s AMSOIL USAC Sprint Car series has turned into a battle between Justin Grant and Chad Boespflug. The two are locked in a ferious points battle with just one point currently seperating the two California natives.
It is a beautiful sight watching a field of non-winged sprint cars weave there way around a dirt oval with the driver’s arm and steering actions clearly visible to the fans. It should be a great night of non-wing sprint car racing on the big wide oval.
The Malvern Bank Series will also be racing at the I-80 Dirt Classic. This year the series boasts perhaps the strongest field of driver’s in the ten year history of the series. Also racing will be unsanctioned B Mods.
