Amsoil’s USAC National Sprint Tour Visit New Egypt Speedway June 5

FLYING WINGLESS THURSDAY NIGHT, JUNE 5 AT NEW EGYPT SPEEDWAY

AMSOILS NON-WING USAC NATIONAL SPRINT TOUR TO MAKE ONLY NEW JERSEY APPEARANCE THURSDAY NIGHT, JUNE 5

USAC, rich in history in the state of New Jersey, has been absent in recent years, that is until 2010 when USAC returned to New Jersey after thirty-two years.    It was June of 1978 when legendary Tom Bigelow won that event at the Flemington Fair Speedway.  USAC made their first appearance at New Egypt in 2010, returned in 2011 and 2012 then missed in 2013.  Special events promoter Bob Miller organized that historic return of USAC in 2010.

But have no fear, USAC is back in 2014.   New Egypt Speedway will be “Flying Wingless” on Thursday night, June 5 when the AMSOIL USAC National Non-Wing Sprints team up with the ARDC Non-Wing Midgets in an open wheel double-header.  Previous USAC winners at New Egypt Speedway include Levi Jones in 2010, Hunter Schuerenberg in 2011 and Bryan Clauson was the winner in 2012.

ARDC driver roster will include Alex Bright,  Bruce Buckwalter Jr., Brenden Bright, Steven Drevicki,  Kyle Lick, PJ Gargiulo, defending champion Trevor Kobylarz, Ryan Greth, Nick Wean and Billy Pauch Jr to name a few.
