HULSEY HAMMERS DOWN TO WIN BIG AT 81

By: Ray Cunningham

Park City, Kansas (May 6, 2023)………Ty Hulsey won his first ever USAC Wholesale Batteries Midwest Wingless Racing Association Sprint Car feature on Saturday night at 81 Speedway in Park City, Kan.

The 2021 USAC Wingless Sprints Oklahoma champion drove his Risley’s Trash Service No. 24H to an impressive victory in the event.  In fact, the Owasso, Okla. native’s drive was so impressive in running away with the 25-lap feature event, his margin of victory was a whopping 12 seconds over his closest competitor!

Meanwhile, the battle for positions two through six were a dog fight with Kobe Simpson (Bonham, Texas) making a last corner pass on Brad Wyatt (Kearney, Mo.) to take home second after finishing fourth on Friday night at Humboldt (Kan.) Speedway in what was his first ever USAC MWRA feature start.  For his efforts, Simpson collected the Xtreme Color farthest traveler award.

Wyatt, in his Valor Racing entry, was also impressive all weekend long, taking heat race wins on both Friday and Saturday night, and then capped it off with his first ever USAC MWRA podium result.

Local hero Jeremy Campbell (Wichita, Kan.) took off the wings to compete with USAC MWRA, advancing from ninth to fourth in JCM No 10c in the feature, and was honored as the feature’s hard charger.

Hulsey’s teammate, Craig Carroll (Collinsville, Okla.) rounded out the top-five in his RTS No. 24c.

Two-time USAC MWRA champ Wyatt Burks (Topeka, Kan) took sixth with Zach Clark (Raymore, Mo.) seventh and series point leader Braydon Cromwell (Lone Jack, Mo.) eighth.  Chris Parkinson (Gladstone, Mo.) and Chad Frewaldt (Kansas City, Kan.) completed the top-10 at the south central Kansas dirt oval.

Eleventh place finisher Justin Johnson (Parkville, Mo.) pocketed an extra bit of contingency cash courtesy of Valor Racing.

The USAC MWRA Sprint Cars will next be in action at U.S. 36 Raceway in Osborn, Mo. on Friday night, May 26.
