Selinsgrove,PA- It’s been 12 years since we lost 3 timeUnited Racing Club Champion, the great Kramer Williamson. Since that time his memory has been kept alive with the help of his daughter Felica and son Kurt with the annual Kramer Kup. It made its rightful return as a URC 360 event at the Selinsgrove Speedway on Friday Night. Selinsgrove holds a special place in the Williamson family’s heart as it’s the place where Kramer asked his future wife Sharron on their first date and where he proposed to her as well. Kramer was a 25 time 410 sprint car winner at Selinsgrove and being the third most winningest driver in URC with 67 victories. Its the perfect place to honor his memory. Even better when a family friend gets the win as Sussex,NJ’s Davie Franek becomes the only repeat winner in 2025 for the United Racing Club scoring his second straight feature win to finish up the season.
There was a championship fight to be had as well. 120 points separated Mertztown,PA’s Josh Weller and Bernville,PA’s Hayden Miller. But it was Weller’s consistency that would be the difference. Weller would get his third straight United Racing Club Championship at the end of the night.
20 United Racing Club 360 Sprint Cars signed in for the final night of action. For the first time since 2022 they would be going for the Pink Kramer Kup that has been one of the most sought after trophies in Central PA since its inception in 2013.Scranton’s Scott Wilson and Franek would make up the front row for the 25 lap main event. It would also be the final night of points for the United Racing Club. Only 120 points separated Weller and Bernville,PA’s Hayden Miller from the championship battle both in the Driver and Owner Points. It would be almost identical to the High Caliber Cranes 410 start with three cars going around after Dover, PA’S Cole Young would make contact sending Young around. York’s Bryn Gohn would spin to avoid the incident but making contact with the wall himself and Manchester,PA’s Logan Rumsey would stop but have an issue that would end his night before it began. Also an honorable mention and thanks to Freemont,OH’s Kesey Ivy making the tow to Selinsgrove to make her URC Debut. Unfortunately it wouldn’t last long in the feature after a great run in the heat. Mechanical issues would not allow Ivy to rejoin the feature after the initial start.
Franek would get around Wilson off of turn two to take the lead. Michael Walter II made his return to the Bob Lilick 7 after picking up the 360 National Open 3 weeks ago at Selinsgrove. Walter would get up to second. A lap later Hilltown,PA’s Adam Carberry would come to a stop on the back straight to bring out the caution.
Pine Grove,PA’s Seth Schnoke would make some moves to get around a fading Wilson. But he had to try and hold off Weller. Weller would get around Schnoke and make a charge at Wilson for third. Weller would get around Wilson. The championship was in grasps. Up front Franek would pull away from Walter. Just then Gardners,PA Jake Galloway would come to a stop to bring out the caution with 12 laps remaining.
Franek retains the lead on the restart. Clean air was king with the late race restarts. Nothing was going to stop Franek from becoming the only repeat winner in the United Racing Club in 2025 with his second straight feature win. His 17th career win at both Selinsgrove and with URC. Walter, Weller, Schnoke, and Wilson rounded out the top 5. With Weller’s third place run. He clinched his 4th career URC Championship.
“This is where I started.” Franek Said in High Caliber Cranes Victory Lane. “ I was fortunate to get to race with Kramer. I wanted to get this one so badly. Clean air was key. I could get out front and get some speed and be as smooth as possible. It started to stumble a little with three to go and I was praying that I wouldn't run out of fuel and we got her home.”
“I wish we could get some more cars here to race with Mike and Davie . Weller Said, taking the URC Championship on the front stretch. “ We had two runs that were outside the top 5. That's the stuff that wins you a championship. We’ll take the war over the battle.”
