USAC Eastern Swing Kicks Off at Grandview
By
The third annual USAC Eastern Swing is ready to kick off the week of racing with the first event for the USAC National Sprint Cars at Grandview Speedway in Bechtelsville, PA on Tuesday, June 2. Three other events will be held in Pennsylvania.
Grandview will feature two 25-lap features for the sprint cars, one a make-up from last year’s rain-out. Also on the card is the wingless ARDC midgets.
The tour will then move over to Williams Grove Speedway in Mechanicsburg, PA on Wednesday, June 3, where ARDC will also be the companion series. Big Diamond Raceway in Minersville, PA will host the Thursday, June 4 race. The Eastern Swing wraps up Saturday night (June 6) with USAC Sprint’s first trip to the 3/8-mile Mercer (PA) Raceway Park.
Dave Darland leads Levi Jones by 12 points in the National Sprint Car championship. Jesse Hockett is in third, 18 points back.
