(PETERSEN MEDIA- Watsonville, CA)- On the heels of yet another barn burner, the Wingless Series presented by Joe Hunt Magnetos will be back in action on Wednesday night as they open up the 62nd Annual Gold Cup Race of Champions alongside the Civil War Series at the Silver Dollar Speedway.
In what has been unquestionably a breakout season for this series, the stars and cars will take part in one of their biggest events of the year as they open up the fastest four days in California at the Silver Dollar Speedway.
Though the last five races have been won by either Terry Schank Jr or Klint Simpson, the action in every race has been noteworthy with two and three car battles for each win coming down to the final few laps.
Last Saturday night during the Johnny Key Classic, Klint Simpson and Austin Liggett put on an absolute thriller. With Simpson leading the early part of the race, Liggett was able to track him down and take the lead around the race’s halfway point. A couple of late cautions gave Simpson just the opportunity he needed as he was able to take the lead on the final lap, and pick up the lucrative victory.
During the last two Wednesday night Gold Cup openers, the man to beat has been Sebastopol, CA wheelman, Geoff Ensign. With Ensign still in search of a ride for this race, the series is set to see a fresh face land in victory lane for the Gold Cup opener.
San Jose, CA driver, Gary Nelson Jr continues to lead the series points battle, but Klint Simpson is quickly reeling him in. With 29 points separating the top-two with just two races left in 2015, Simpson will need to continue to run up front and hope for a little luck as both drivers seek their first Wingless Series title.
Other drivers that are likely to be on hand on Wednesday night include Terry Schank, Cody Fendley, Angelique Bell, Austin Liggett, Shane Myhre, Jimmy Christian, Nick Larson, John and Bradley Clark, Shayna Sylvia, and many more of the regions top wingless driers.
