Ryan Watt Ready For Georgetown Speedway ‘Double Friday, Adds URC Sprint Car Debut To Modified Effort

GEORGETOWN, DE – Ryan Watt is known to thrill the fans in Sunoco Modified competition at Georgetown Speedway.

On Friday, race fans will get double the excitement from the ‘Electric Company in the ‘September Showdown at the Sussex County half-mile, banked oval.

The Boyertown, Pa., driver will – of course – be at the wheel of the potent Ron Roberts-owned No. 14W Sunoco Modified. And, he will make his 360 Sprint Car debut with the Capitol Renegade United Racing Club. Yes, Watt in a Sprint Car!

Watt will drive the No. 39 Sprint Car owned by South Jerseys Tim Hogue, a former racer and car owner on the series.

“I always wanted to try one,â Watt said of Sprint Car racing. “I just never had the opportunity to do it in a good car. Tim had his stuff sitting there, so this will be my chance.â

Watt was able to snag some advance track time via three rounds of practice at Bridgeport (N.J.) Speedway on the big five-eighths-mile.

“It was definitely different with the air on the wing,â Watt said.

Now, attention turns to Georgetown this Friday night and his official debut. URC Sprint Car competitors will take part in 10-lap qualifiers and a 25-lap A-Main.

Then, it will be time to hop into a Modified for 30 laps and chase a $3,000 winners share.

“It will be a busy night going back and forth,â Watt said. “But Im looking forward to it.â
