Lady Luck finally smiles on Urkuski at Clyde Martin Speedway
NEWMANSTOWN » Will Urkuski must have done something to tick off Lady Luck. Always fast, but if it weren’t for bad luck, then Urkuski had no luck at all over the past few seasons. Heck, he even received the 600cc Hard Luck Award at last year’s banquet.
Good fortune finally prevailed for the racer from Morgantown as Lady Luck frowned upon another driver, enabling Urkuski to score his first win in the Hyper Racing 600 Sprints on Saturday night at Lanco’s Clyde Martin Memorial Speedway.
Joining Urkuski for victory lane photos at the end of the night were Mike Skias (Viper Chassis 270cc); Nick Skias (Sportsman); Eddie Nocera (Hammer Down Engines 250cc Four-Stroke); and William Manotti (125cc) as Jim and Joyce Skias of Mongoose Chassis sponsored the night of competition.
