POWRi URSS Sprints Set 33-Race Calendar

OBERLIN, Kan. – The POWRi Lucas Oil United Rebel Sprint Series presented by Mel Hambelton Ford Racing is heading into its 16th consecutive season of sprint car racing this year.

The heat will be turned up come April, as the URSS travelers embark on a 33-race calendar with several new tracks on deck, including US 36 Raceway in Osborn, Mo.; Bethany Speedway in Bethany, Mo.; and I-70 Motorsports Complex in Odessa, Mo.

The green flag is set to fly over the new season on April 17, as United Rebel Sprint Series drivers take on the season opener at 81 Speedway.

The month of May will kick-off with a two-day swing in Colorado before returning to the stomping grounds of Kansas to hit tracks in Dodge City, LaCrosse, and Wichita.

June will tentatively see the first United Rebel Sprint Series-sanctioned race at US 36 Raceway and Bethany Speedway in Missouri before hitting Dodge City Raceway Park and 81 Speedway.

July is slated to open with the annual Belleville High Banks Independence Day event before heading toward the Wheatshocker Nationals at RPM Speedway on July 10-11. The month will then close with the Bull Ring Nationals at Rush County Speedway on July 30-31.

A sweltering August will kick off with the third annual Belleville 305 Sprint Nationals at the famed Belleville High Banks half mile. United Rebel Sprint Series drivers then head to the coveted Bob Salem Memorial at Oberlin Speedway on Aug. 13-14.

The Lubbock Wrecker Service 305 Nationals is slated to take place Sept. 23-25 at I-70 Motorsports Complex in Odessa, Mo. The United Rebel Sprint Series season will conclude with the Dodge City Raceway Park 305 Nationals on Oct. 7-9.
