The Wingless Sprint Series only makes two appearances to the “Banks Bullring” in 2019. Saturday will be first time the WSS is in town while later on the calendar, August 10th, they return. In IMCA Sport Mod action there have been three races producing three winners. Rod Lowe, Brad Ruth, and Breadon Hand have all managed to pay a single visit to victory lane.
In the Dwarf Cars the same case can be stated as Ryan Martinez, Jimmy Brinster, and Jake Van Ortwick have three triumphs to their credit. Captain Turnabout and Jeremy Hughes are tied atop the winner’s column with two victories each while Ryan Conroy and Taylor Sayre have one apiece. The two Micro divisions have been to the ¼-mile clay oval just twice this year. Josh Thompson and Jesse Schlotfeldt got the job done in the Micro Opens while Braden Maltais and Colby Thornhill are the two Micro Restricted winners.
