USAC Sprints Return after 26 Years to Deer Creek

USAC Sprints Returns to Deer Creek after 26 Years.

June 18 2014 .Deer Creek, Spring Valley Minnesota will see the return of the USAC Sprintcars for the first time in 26 years. The Deer Creek Speedway with its high Banks has played host in the past to some famous names.

USAC’s last visit to Minnesota was a rare winged event at Jackson won by Danny Lasoski. The Minnesota history runs deep in USAC, however, as legendary drivers Don Branson and Jud Larson won a pair of 1964 races at the State Fairgrounds in St. Paul.
Before the USAC /AMOILS Team get to Deer Creek they will need to get past the Amsoils Speedway in Superior, Wisconsin and the 30 lap Feature before they meet the clay of the Deer Creek oval and its high banks .Deer Creek Logo
Leading the USAC/AMSOILS Championship currently is Brady Bacon in his Dynamic Inc #59 by 44 points from Dave Darland. The defending Champion Bryan Clauson is 84 point behind Bacon

.Bacon would be super confident after his recent Eastern Storms Series Win. Clauson and Darland have three wins each so far this series and Bacon two, but Brady has been stronger in gathering points across the 15 meeting

The runs through the Upper Midwest and the way the drivers handle the Deer Creek track may well have a bearing on who leads the Championship after they leave Angel Park on Sunday June 22nd.
The drivers are all geared up for the return to Minnesota and Bryan Clauson was quoted on the Deer Creek Web Site as saying :“I’m really excited to see Deer Creek Speedway on our schedule. I always want to race at new places and visit some new areas, and all I’ve heard about Deer Creek is how nice the place is. It should be a fun weekend, and hopefully the fans up north are looking forward to it as much as we are,” said back-to-back series champion Bryan Clauson, who will defend his crown in 2014 along with his Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian #20 team.

With 8 different winners over the past 15 races it is anyone’s guess who will take maximum points from the swing through the Upper Mid West
