Race earlier this month. The first 602 Crate Sportsman feature of the season was won by invader, Adam McAuliffe over Eric Kormann who closed in to challenge the leader in the final laps. This event will be the first race of the season for the Rookies who have only had the opportunity to practice so far this season.
While this will be the first race of the season for URC competitors, several drivers started their season a week early by traveling to Carolina Speedway to compete in the North (URC) vs South (USCS) event that saw Mertztown, PA driver, Josh Weller capture the win – taking his first ever season opener. Weller will be in the field Sunday when the Capitol Renegade United Racing Club throws the green flag on their 71st season.
