URSS-United Rebel Sprint Series
Thomas, Richardson Claim Night One of the DCRP Sprint Car Nationals
Dodge City, Kan 4/5/2024 (www.urssracing.com) - The United Rebel Sprint Series started its season at Dodge City Raceway Park Friday night with 31 race teams checking into the $5,000 to win DCRP Sprint Car Nationals. Friday Night featured 4 car group qualifying, which included Jordan Knight establishing a new track record at 15.676. The night would run into Heat Races where 4 drivers were able to pick up wins. Jack Thomas, Joey Danley, Ray Seemann, and Tyler Knight all picking up the wins.
In Qualifier A, the race saw plenty of close battles for the lead. Conner Thomas, only 16 years old, started on the pole for the first race, and it was a dog fight for all 15 laps. Koby Walters and Danny Wood tried to make a late race charge where the 2 would trade slide jobs and crossovers for a few laps before Conner Thomas was able to pull away from the two.
Qualifier B would produce the same energy as well, with Steven Richardson picking up the checkered flag at the end of the 15 lap race. “It's always nice to come out to Dodge City and run well. Props to Kyler and his crew for getting this race in, because we knew it was going to be questionable” said Richardson. Lap traffic became a factor late in the qualifier race, as Steven Richardson closed in on Mike Kleyman in the final laps.
The field will now be set for Saturdays feature events as well as the King of the Hill Pole Shuffle.
