NEWS & NOTES
ED AIKIN  ANNOUNCES NEW SPONSORS FOR 2012
 
Winner of the 2011 Rislone URC Sprint Series  $4,000 to win season finale at the Grandview Speedway, driver/car owner Ed Aikin is pleased to announce three new sponsors coming on-board in the new season.   Viper Venom Fuels, Chips Auto Center of Pennsville, NJ and J&M Custom powder coating  of Honeybrook, PA will be a sponsor for Aikin in  2012.   Aikin of Lincoln University, PA is a six time Rislone URC Sprint feature winner is looking to win features this year and hopes to be in a position to contend for the URC season long championship.
 
The Rislone URC Sprint Series will open at the Delaware International Speedway on Saturday night, April 28   Special events are quickly filling the  schedule and  include the $3,500 to win Jack Gunn Memorial to take place at the Selinsgrove Speedway  on Saturday, May 12 and the Rislone Nationals paying $5,000 to win at the Williams Grove Speedway on Friday night, August 3rd.  Pioneer Pole Buildings is also returning as a sponsor of the season finale at Grandview on Saturday night, October 13 offering $3,000 to the winner of the 25 lap feature event.
 
Thanks to American Racer and support from Rislone, URC competitors will enjoy  very attractive tire pricing.    An  American Racer right rear will sell for $159, the left rear for $155 and fronts may be purchased for $138, unheard of pricing for sprint car tires today.   Adjusting the tire pricing with some of the Rislone URC point fund money will help all our competitors throughout the entire Rislone URC Sprint Series.

 

JOSH WELLER REFLECTS ON 2011, PLANS STILL UNCERTAIN FOR 2012,  CHRIS WEISS LOOKS TO RUN ENTIRE 2012 RISLONE URC SPRINT SERIES
 
The "Wild Child" Josh Weller reflects on the 2011 Rislone URC Sprint Series that saw him score one feature win and finish an impressive third in the overall point chase.   Weller's victory came at the New Egypt Speedway driving his family owned #63.   Later in the season, Weller filled the seat of the Kathy and Pat Palladino #99 and delivered solid performances that earned Josh a  third place finish in the driver point chase.  
 
A big disappointment for the Weller/Palladino Team came at the September 4 Georgetown Speedway event.  While leading, the nose wing mount broke on the #99, slowing the car dramatically with the possible feature win going right out the window.    Weller certainly wanted to give the Palladino's that big win in the first state.
 
At present, with the Palladino Team announcing that they will park their car for most of the season, Weller is now ride or sponsor hunting to get the family owned #63 back on the track and in contention to chase down that coveted 2012 Rislone URC Sprint Series Championship.   
 
For Josh Weller 2011 also marked the birth of their first child, a daughter Aubrey.   In review of his favorite tracks, Weller commented.   "Grandview is my type of track especially when the track slicks off.  I like small quick race tracks that seem to take a little more self control to do well.   We have always seemed to shine on slick more technical tracks, but Grandview has always been one of my favorites".   Weller added, "Grandview is also my home track and I have  lots of friends, fans and family at the track.   I have also run more races there then I have at other tracks, running the Thunder races with the WOO, USAC and other non-sanctioned 410 races."
 
Weller is without a doubt, one of URC's top contenders always clean on the track and professional with his pit side conduct and always displays  great fan appeal.
 
JC Motorsports and Chris Weiss  of East Texas, PA announced today that they do plan on running the entire 2012 Rislone URC Sprint  Series.
 
Weiss is pleased to announce that TnT Scrap Metal of Brooklyn, NY, Cargo Trailers in Lansdale and Trio Provisions & Smokehaus in East Texas, PA  will be their sponsor for 2012.  Engines and machine work is being done by Bob Silfies of Silfies Race Engines in Easton, PA   Paint and vinyl is provided by Bruce Bowen of Bowen Signs and Lettering.    Associate sponsors include Simpson, CFI Fiberglass in Hanover, PA, RAACE, Hoffman Speed Supplies in New Tripoli, PA, Ultra Shield Race Products and GME Steerings in New Ringgold's, PA.
 
 
URC will kick off their 2012 Rislone URC Sprint Series at the Delaware International Speedway on Saturday night, April 28.
