The United Rebel Sprint Series 2009 season resumes after a two-week layoff with a Memorial Day Weekend sure to make every Sprint Car fan weekend. The weekend kicks off a double header weekend with Saturday's Inaugural "Race of Champions" to be held at the Jetmore Motorplex in Jetmore Kansas. The 24 car field will feature the 20 A Feature winners of 2008 season including Mike Woodruff, Brian Herbert, Justin Schwien, Smokey Fairbank, Brandon Fisher, Patrick Bourke, Keefe Hemel, Taylor Velasquez, Paul Flynn, Taylor Milton, C. J. Johnson, Darren Berry, Sid Blanford, Cody Salem, Tanner Mullens, Ken Lutters, Corey Lutters, Ty Williams, Jon Johnson and Jason Martin. Also qualified for the $750 to win - $200 to start A-Main will be Ray Seemann, Darren Bowman, Kirby Hagans and Tim Perkins.
There will be a Last Chance Qualifiers race that will feature all of the racers that have not won a URSS Feature event. The winner will start the Race of Champions Feature from the pole position. URSS Founder Rick Salem added, "The race to watch just may be that Last Chance race as it will give those drivers who have supported the Series through thick and thin the best chance they will ever have to pick up that coveted first URSS Feature win!" The lineups for the evenings racing will be determined by a draw, with the Race of Champions lineup determined by draw with the racers with the most wins will start to the rear of the field.
Racing will continue Sunday night with a regular URSS points show at the Jetmore Motorplex in support of the ASCS 360 National Tour race.
Sunday will also be night number one of the annual Memorial Day two-day show at the Wakeeney Speedway. The action will be fast and furious as the Rebels invade the 3/8's mile clay oval for the first of two nights of URSS Sanctioned races. It will be the URSS Rebels first of three appearances at the Speedway. The racing action will continue on Monday night as the Rebels will once again hit the track for night two at Wakeeney Speedway.
