URC - United Racing Club

• dirt track racing organizations

The United Racing Club is a traveling 360 sprint car organization run by racers for racers. The Club's concept was started in 1947 and was very successful for over 50 years. Now, the Club makes its return to the racing world in 2015 and the idea is that the group will be governed by its racers. The car owners and drivers that make up the general membership will once again vote on what they believe is in the best interest of the Club as a whole. The decisions on rules, structure and even leadership will be made by the people who support the Club and have a vested interest in its existence.

The United Racing Club strives to give the racers what they want. We know the racers want to be heard and have their opinions considered. United Racing Club is making its return because we know this is what drivers want from an organization. We pride ourselves on keeping the club running with the opinions and thoughts of our drivers.

The United Racing Club, "it's your club, it's racing the way you want it". That's not just a tag line in a logo. That's a concept that we all believe in and that's why the United Racing Club will be around for another 50 years. See ya at the races!

  Empire Super Sprints Invade Albany-Saratoga and Fonda This Weekend

  By Curtis Berleue (Malta, NY) | Following another successful CNY Speedweek, the Empire Super Sprints are ready to roar back to action this weekend. An eastern NY doubleheader will see the tour make their only stops of 2024 at the Albany-Saratoga Speedway this Friday night, followed by the Fonda Speedway on Saturday. Friday's action at Albany-Saratoga will be the 34th visit in tour history to the 4/10 mile oval located in Malta, NY. Last season, it was Matt Tanner in victory lane at 'The Great Race Place'. In 33 previous events run, Craig Keel and Dan Kaszubinski are tied for a tour record four wins each. No currently active driver, however, has been able to repeat success at Albany Saratoga, with Tanner, Jordan Poirier and Jason Barney scoring the three most recent victories. Saturday's stop at the Fonda Speedway will be the annual Earl Halaquist Memorial. Each year, the Earl Halaquist Memorial is held in honor of one of the most accomplished sprint car drivers in the Northeast, Earl Halaquist. Competing across NY, NJ, PA, VA, NC, MD VT, Canada and more, Halaquist amassed 53 URC wins and six championships. Halaquist, a World War II veteran, was inducted into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame in Knoxville, IA in 2000 before his passing in 2001. Last season's Earl Halaquist Memorial winner was Danny Varin, who has amassed an impressive 7 wins in his last 8 ESS starts at the Fonda Speedway. Varin is also coming off a win in the most recent ESS event - Sunday July 7th's visit to the Weedsport Speedway - his second win thus far in 2024.
