DELMAR, DE – The revitalized Delaware International Speedway roars back to life on Friday, June 30 with the Rapid Tire Service USAC East Coast Sprint Cars and Millman’s NAPA Auto Parts Modifieds.
The Millman’s NAPA Auto Parts Modifieds roll into the Friday night action for the first time in more than a month. Frenchtown, N.J.’s Billy Pauch Jr. was victorious during the stop when the Bob Hilbert Sportswear Short Track Super Series (STSS) Fueled By Sunoco was in town.
Boyertown, Pa.’s Mike Gular (251 points) leads the way on the strength of his win and runner-up finishes in the opening two events of the season.
Just one point behind Gular sits Milford, Del.’s Jordan Watson (250), who finished second and third, respectively, in those same opening events.
East Greenbush, N.Y.’s David Schilling and Neshanic Station, N.J.’s Matt Stangle are tied for third at 218 points each. Savannah, N.Y.’s Matt Sheppard (190) rounds out the top five.
The USAC East Coast 360 Sprint Cars make their first of two appearances of 2023 on the Delaware-Maryland border for a 25-lap affair.
The wingless warriors return for one more trip on Sept. 22 to Delaware International Speedway.
Allentown, Pa.’s Briggs Danner was victorious the last time the USAC East Coast Sprint Cars invaded Delmar.
The Blue Hen Dispose-All Crate 602 Sportsman and RUSH Late Models join the June 30 affair as well.
