10-RACE EAST COAST SPRINT CAMPAIGN DEBUTS TOMORROW

AT DELAWARE INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY

The 2018 USAC East Coast Sprint Car Series debuts tomorrow night (Wednesday) at Delaware International Speedway in Delmar, Del.

The first of 10 series races will be followed by events at seven other venues, with Delaware International and Big Diamond Speedway in Pottsville, Pa. hosting two races each. Other venues are Accord (N.Y.) Speedway, Bedford (Pa.) Speedway, New Egypt (N.J.) Speedway, Bridgeport Speedway in Swedesboro, N.J., Path Valley Speedway Park in Spring Run, Pa. and Port Royal (Pa.) Speedway, which hosts the closer August 25.

It’s been nearly a half-century since USAC competed in the “First State,” A.J. Foyt captured stock car victories at Dover in 1969 and 1970 and Art Pollard won a National Championship race at Dover in 1969.

Ryan Greth, who won USAC’s Eastern Midget crown last year, is one of the drivers expected to compete in this year’s Eastern Sprint Car series. Others include Chandler Leiby, who competed in USAC’s “Eastern Storm” feature last year at Bechtelsville, Pa., plus Trey Hivner, Kyle Lick and Steve Wilbur, who also participated in last year’s “Eastern Storm.”

Good luck to all who are working to make this deal a success. Its a three hour drive each way for me, but it is well worth it to support traditional sprint cars, besides its a lot closer than driving to Indiana. I plan to make all ten shows.

Glad to see Delaware International getting some non wing action. Would be a great future Eastern Storm stop!

I raced there many many years ago! Pretty nice track. From what I can see on Facebook looks like they have 16 cars pit side. Not bad for their first race and a mid-week one at that.

My best memory from this track was probably 1998 URC race when Becca Anderson started 15th a took the feature. She was running a Ford!

Good show. I wish they would have run sprint feature first but overall I enjoyed the show. I was impressed with how many people stayed for sprint feature as cold as it got. Not a bad car count as said previously that it was a mid-week show and long tow for most sprint teams. Very impressed with the Rush Late Model Series. More than 45 cars and some from Western PA, upstate NY and Canada. That is a long tow for a series that is billed as a low budget group. I will support both series in the future! Got home at 1:45, good thing I am retired and could sleep in until 9:00.
