Banks, Oregon- The inaugural season of the Wingless Sprint Series comes to a conclusion on Saturday, September 10th. The series will make their way to Sunset Speedway Park and is the smallest venue they compete at. They already have been to the “Banks bullring” once during the course of the current campaign.
Rob Lindsey has a comfortable lead in the points race headed into the final leg of the journey. Lindsey also is atop the list when it comes to victories. He has won four main events this season and is the only driver to win more than once. Cooper Desbiens, Kyle Miller, Gary Lynch, Lance Hallmark, Wayne Van Raden, and most recently Lindsay Barney all have one triumph to their credit.
Mentioned above was that the WSS have already paid a visit to SSP in 2016. That race was on July 23rd and would see Wayne Van Raden making his way to the winner’s circle. Although the Wingless Sprint Series has one trip to Sunset, Non-Wing Sprint have a long storied history at the facility with the Northwest Wingless Tour, Oregon Double Shot Series, and even the old Intermountain Sprints.
