Seemann wins URSS national crown

DODGE CITY — He entered the final weekend trailing by two points.

But on the final night of a two-day show at Dodge City Raceway Park, Ray Seemann had done what he needed to to be leading the national points race in the United Rebel Sprint Series. That left him in the driver's seat for Saturday's season finale.

The Jetmore driver then proceeded to stay the course to win his first URSS national title by finishing fifth Saturday night at DCRP, two spots ahead of Dodge City's Brian Herbert.

“This has got to be one of the hardest championships to win,” Seemann said. “It's a long year, a lot of races all spread out over different states. We missed some races when we went to Knoxville and wasn't really thinking about it. If I would have to do it all over again, I'd probably go to those races to make it a little easier.”

Radcliffe gets monkey off back with win

DODGE CITY — Jeff Radcliffe had been so close so many times. 

On Saturday night, all Radcliffe's near misses were in the rear view mirror as the Hill City hot-shoe won his first United Rebel Sprint Series feature with a victory in the series season finale at Dodge City Raceway Park. 

“The monkey is off my back,” Radcliffe said. “I feel like I won the lottery, finally. I've been waiting a long time for this. Last night, I thought I had it until Jason Martin came by me. But I got beat by the best, so I still smiled. I knew I had a shot tonight. Randy Washburn set the car up and did everything. It was night-and-day difference from what it was a week ago until now with Randy turning wrenches. I owe it all to him tonight.”    Click here for story

Martin wins 7th URSS feature of season

 

DODGE CITY — Jason Martin realized he had more work to do.

And the Liberal sprint car driver did just that Friday night during the United Rebel Sprint Series feature at Dodge City Raceway Park.

Martin moved his way from his ninth-place starting spot into second, then realized he had one more driver to pass before taking the point and winning his seventh URSS feature of the season.

Jeff Radcliffe led a large portion of Friday night's race as the field behind him shuffled through positions. Martin, meanwhile, went from ninth to fourth after the first lap, then eventually got by Luke Cranston for second.     Click for story
