OCEAN VIEW, DEL…
It didn’t take long for Curt Michael and the Bill Gallagher Racing Team to reach victory lane.
In just their second night of competition, Michael piloted Gallagher’s Green Machine from the 10th starting position into the lead before the midway mark of Saturday night’s 25-lap URC Sprint series event at Delaware International Speedway and drove away from the field for the win.
The win came a week after the team’s debut performance in the URC opener at Bridgeport Speedway where Michael started 10th and managed to finish in the third spot on a dry track surface.
“I’m really happy to get the first win out of the way for Bill and the whole team,” said Michael, a 36-time URC series winner and five time defending champion with the series. “So far everything is going great, everyone is working hard and we are looking forward to having a great season together.”
With his win, Michael surged ahead in the lucrative URC point battle.
“We just want to win as many races as we can and hopefully the points will take care of themselve,” he added. “We won’t get caught up in that right now but I’m with a team that is more than capable of taking top honors. I’d like to thank Bill, Todd Rittenhouse, Steve Suchy and my whole crew for their hard work and dedication.”
