CURT MICHAEL/BBJG TEAM CHANGE IT UP

KING OF PRUSSIA, PA
After winning a championship during the last seven of eight racing seasons, Curt Michael and the Bill Gallagher owned BBJG, Inc sprint car team will be doing something a little different this season.
There will be no more point chasing with the URC sprint club. In fact there won’t even be a start in a URC sanctioned event.
But what there will be is a variety of 410 and 360 Sprint car events for the King of Prussia based team this season, most of them coming on the Central PA sprint car circuit.
The team will kick off its 2012 racing season Saturday night in the Port Royal Speedway season opening against many of Central PA’s top 410 Sprint car teams.
“I look forward to racing the 410 more in Central PA,” said Michael, an eight-time URC sprint car champion including the past racing season. “The last two years we ran a few 410 races and after doing that I realized how much I wanted to run the car more than running the 360 with a series. I have to thank Bill for this great opportunity and for sticking with me once again this season.”
While a complete schedule has yet to be finalized, the team will compete in the 410 Sprint car opener on Friday, March 23 at Williams Grove Speedway and then the following night, Michael will compete in the first ever race with the Mach1 Mid-Atlantic 360 Sprint car series at Selinsgrove Speedway.
“We are basically going to run as many 410 shows as we can, most of them being time trial or special shows and we will support the Mach1 series as well,” said the Ocean View, Delaware racer.
Sean Michael, Curt’s brother will continue to be the crew chief on the No. 5G and prepares the cars for action each week.
