JJ GRASSO IS THREE FOR THREE IN URC COMPETITION AT DELAWARE INTERNATIONAL
JJ Grasso of Pedricktown, NJ led all twenty-five laps of the Rislone URC Sprint feature Saturday night at the Delaware International Speedway. For Grasso it was his third URC win in six starts this season and his ninth career win. Grasso won the first heat race of the night, earning himself the pole starting position in the feature event. All three wins for Grasso were part of the Taylor & Messick Delaware State Sprint Series. Driving the Palladino Motorsports/BK Leasing sprint car, the "Jersey Jet" ran a spectacular race for the fans as he sliced his way through lapped traffic with amazing speed, skill and grace. There is no doubt that lapped traffic was his biggest challenge of the night.
A field of twenty-eight sprint cars took part in the racing program with heat race victories going to JJ Grasso, Becca Anderson and Kyle Purks as the Don Ott "B" win went to rookie driver Eddie Wagner.
In the twenty-five lap feature, Grasso led the field into turn one but as the field charged out of turn four, Brett Schoenly, Art Liedl and Mark Bitner tangled causing the yellow flag to be displayed. On the restart, Grasso once again powered into the lead and away from the rest of the field. Tim Hogue followed in second holding a slight advantage over Chris Coyle, Davey Sammons and Kyle Purks.
The second yellow of the race was displayed on lap thirteen, this time for Jeff Quackenbush who stopped in turn four. Once again the drivers were asked to regroup and at the drop of the green flag, Grasso immediately went to work to build that comfortable lead he had just prior to the yellow flag.
At the halfway point, Grasso was the pace setter followed by Hogue, Sammons, Purks and Anderson. On lap fourteen, Sammons moved into second and tried to reel in the leader but at the point, Grasso already had a seven second lead over the second place car.
Six time URC Champion Curt Michael started ninth and became a factor in the closing laps advancing to the top five. The final caution of the race was displayed on lap nineteen when Mike Kostic came to a stop in turn three.
On the restart, Sammons took his best shot at Grasso but it made no difference as the Jet was off and running. On the last lap, Kyle Purks passed Tim Hogue for third place money with Hogue fourth and Curt Michael fifth.
FEATURE FINISH: JJ Grasso, Davey Sammons, Kyle Purks, Tim Hogue, Curt Michael, Nick Schlauch Jr., Randy West, Becca Anderson, Chris Coyle, Andy Best, Jonathan Baker, Mark Bitner, Art Liedl, Joe Zuczek, Kenny Meisner, Eddie Wagner, Kramer Williamson, Jim Walters, Mike Kostic, Jeff Quackenbush, Gary Gollub, Jonathan Swanson, Danny Massey, Robbie Stillwaggon, Robbie Stillwaggon, Brett Schoenly.
