NICK SCHLAUCH JR PLANS BIG RETURN TO URC IN 2010Posted: March 3rd, 2010 Youthful and talented Nick Schlauch Jr. of Holland, PA will be returning to complete in the 2010 Rislone URC Sprint Series. Schlauch Jr. and his 38n Motorsports team will start the season with a pair of Maxim sprint cars powered by Don Ott Engines. "A goal for the team will be to make every URC event in the coming season and collect valuable points in the chase for the championship title. "We've worked hard over the winter putting together equipment so we can make all the URC races this season", commented Schlauch Jr.
Schlauch Jr. enjoyed a very successful season with URC in 2009, nearly winning a couple of feature events. He finished sixth in the highly competitive season long point battle, missing a top five point finish by just four points. Schlauch Jr also finished fifth in the Taylor & Messick Delaware State Sprint Series and a solid third in the season long Valley Forge INC Pennsylvania Sprint Series.
The coming season for the 38n team is possible as a result of a strong sponsorship support that includes Livingston Lawn Care, S&S Tire and Auto, Coastal Radiator, Don Ott Racing Engines, SC Signs and Design, WRT Web Design, DA's Auto Body, Robison Racing Products, GME Steerings, Penske Shocks, Wings Unlimited, The Joie of Seating of Keizer Wheels.
The two near victories in '09 for Schlauch Jr came at two different tracks. At the Lincoln Speedway, the run was a real heart breaker with Trevor Lewis beating out Nick for the win in the final laps. At the Georgetown Speedway, the show was a real pick me up as Schlauch. In the final laps of the feature, Nick caught race leader Curt Michael and as he challenged for the lead, he also had to hold off the challenges of a charging JJ Grasso. In one of his most impressive rides, Nick Schlauch Jr
ended a late summer run of bad luck to finish second.
There is no doubt that Nick Schlauch Jr. has some natural sprint car driving talent. One of his biggest accomplishments of 2009 is that fact that Nick has never seen or raced at eight of the tracks on the URC schedule that season, but he adapted and, adapted very well.
We really enjoy racing with URC, the official's were both friendly and helpful to us. Traveling the tour you really do form a camaraderie with a lot of the other teams and the different tracks, really help me develop as a driver. URC is a great fin for our team", said Schlauch Jr.
The goal for the Nick Schlauch Jr in 2010 is pretty simple, they want to win races. They have mastered their note taking and their tips from 2009 will make them an even better team in 2010.
"URC has some of the toughest 360 competition anywhere with JJ Grasso, Davey Sammons, Curt Michaels, Trevor Lewis, and a lot of other tough racers. I know I have my work cut out for me but I know I'm up for the challenge", added Schlauch Jr.
The 2010 Rislone URC Sprint Series will open on Saturday, April 10 at the Bridgeport Speedway and continue on Saturday, April 17 at the Delaware International Speedway.
