FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

URA RETURN TO ROUTE 66 MOTORPLEX MAY 11, 2013 FOR "MOMS ARE WINNERS" NIGHT

(San Bernardino, CA, May 8, 2013) This Saturday, the stars of the United Racing Association return to do battle in Round #3 of the Unlimited Sprint Cars at the "Fastest Clay Oval in the High Desert", located at the San Bernardino Fairgrounds in Victorville, CA. Also on hand to trade slide jobs will be the Open Competition Dwarf Cars and U.S. Legends Modifieds. To celebrate Mother's Day, Dirt Entertainment, the URA, and Route 66 Motorplex will be offering a $5.00 discount for all moms accompanied by a child.

A stellar field consisting of the finest traditional sprint car drivers on the West Coast is expected to slug it out for bragging rights and a chance to take home $2,550.00 in cold, hard cash at the conclusion of Saturday night's Unlimited Sprint Car Main Event. To view the full purse, which is guaranteed and will be paid out in cash at the conclusion of the night's events, click here.

On April 27^th, the newly re-surfaced Orange Show Stadium played host to the First Annual Robert "Doc" Griffin Memorial race for the URA Unlimited Sprint Cars. In storybook fashion, Mike Spencer of Temecula, California took home the checkers after a fierce battle with current URA series contenders "The Demon" Damion Gardner of Concord, CA and "Sick" Nic Faas of Huntington Beach, CA. Spencer, driving for car owner Ron Chaffin and mechanic Bruce Bromme, drove a near perfect race in the Madera Produce, Grubstake Mini Storage, and Kaeding Performance sponsored "Lil Red Sucker" Maxim (#50), which was successfully piloted by Richard Griffin of Silver City, New Mexico, who is the son of the late Robert "Doc" Griffin. The two Mark Alexander owned, Scott Sales, "Silver Bullet" Spike Chassis entries of Gardner (#4a) and Faas (#4) finished 2^nd and 3^rd, and are now tied for the series point lead. Currently 3^rd in points is Riverside, California's David Cardey, who drives the Tom and Laurie Sertich owned, Huntington Beach Glass & Mirror "Moose Racing Mobile" Victory Chassis (#92). For complete results and standings, click here.

Also slated to return to the Route 66 Motorplex this Saturday are the Open Competition Dwarf Cars. The Dwarf Cars are scaled-down replicas of 30's and 40's coupes, sedans, and pickup trucks. They are powered by 1000 to 1200 cubic centimeter motorcycle engines. Although small, they produce some major horsepower and provide some monster excitement. The High Desert warriors will take on a variety of travelers in a dirt track showdown that you won't want to miss.

This Saturday's card will be completed by the 2^nd appearance of the U.S. Legends Modifieds, or the "L-Mods" as they are affectionately known in the pits. These too are scaled-down replicas that represent the glory days of super modified racing across the country from the sixties and seventies era. These awesome oval track roadsters are powered by spec European Yamaha 1250cc motorcycle engines which must be one hundred percent factory stock. If you've ever wondered what it would be like to race a hot rod sideways around a clay oval, this is a very affordable and fun series to get you started. For more information, stop by the pits after the races and talk with Mel Murphy of Circle Track Performance. You may also email Mel at [email protected] or visit www.uslegendcars.com.

Updates / Notes:

Weather report looks really nice for Victorville, CA tomorrow! Currently we're expecting low 80's during the early evening and then mid 70's until the end of the night's action.

The track prep crew at Route 66 Motorplex has literally been working on the track surface each evening since this past Sunday. We should have one of the best track conditions yet.

After talking to the teams this past week and a half, we should have a good turnout of Unlimited Sprint Cars. Just got word that the John Jory Team has plans to bring all four (4) cars back to the track this weekend for Rip, Cody, Austin, and Logan to tear it up.

David Cardey is slated to do "double duty" this Saturday at Route 66 Motorplex. In addition to trying to gain an advantage in the super-close points battle in the URA Unlimited Sprint division, David will also be slinging some clay in Mel Murphy's U.S. Legend Modified.

There will be a meet-n-greet on the front straightaway after qualifying. This is a perfect opportunity to shake the hands of the drivers, get autographs, pick up some "hero cards", and purchase T-shirts from the teams. Team Moose will be selling T-shirts to benefit the recovery of Laurie Sertich. In addition, I will have limited quantities of the "Circle Track Kid" T-shirts in Youth sizes. Kids can pick one up and custtomize them to their own heroes colors!

" Team Moose will be selling T-shirts to benefit the recovery of Laurie Sertich"

I'll throw in a free DVD with any T-Shirt purchase.

Looking forward to the show. I haven't seen the legend modifieds yet, they sure look cool!
