Flynn Takes URSS Debut At
Thunderhill Speedway
The
United Rebel Sprint Series made its debut at the Thunderhill
Speedway in Mayetta, Kansas and the crowd on hand was
treated to some fast racing action. Twenty-one 305 Sprint
Cars checked in at the gate, with some new faces joining the
URSS for the first time.
Pole
sitter Travis Decker from Wakeeney, Kansas led the field
with Ransom, Kansas Ken Lutters on the outside pole. Decker
jumped to the early lead with Lutters in second, Hill City’s
Larry Radcliffe in third, Jeff Radcliffe in fourth with
Abilene Kansas’ Paul Flynn in the fifth spot. Lap five saw
Jeff Radcliffe move up to the second position followed by
Larry Radcliffe and a charging Flynn.
Flynn
took over the second position on lap eleven and set his
sights on Decker, with Larry Radcliffe in 3rd and his son
Jeff in hot pursuit with Justin Schwien in the 5th spot.
Flynn worked his way around Decker only to have the only
caution flag flew on lap twelve for a spin by Cody
Kieswetter, in the process collecting Jeff Radcliffe and
sending him to the rear of the field. On the ensuing
restart, Flynn made the pass on Decker to assume the lead he
would never give up.
Twelfth
starting Smokey Fairbank had quietly worked his way to the
sixth position lap and battled Decker and Corey Lutters for
the 4th spot. The three traded the spot back and forth until
Fairbank with two to go with Lutters in the fifth position.
Flynn took the checkers with Larry Radcliffe, Schwien,
Fairbank and Lutters rounding the top five.
The
Weld Racing Wheels “Hard Charger” award went to Paul Flynn
who started 9th and finished in the 1st position.
