WILLIAMSON LOOKING FOR A URC WIN BEFORE SEASON END

Kramer Williamson of Palmyra, PA is looking to reverse a very long winless streak. The former URC Champion currently hold sixty-six career URC wins and ranked third on URC's all time career win list, trailing Glenn Fitzcharles with eighty-one wins and Dave Kelly with seventy-six wins.   But for Williamson, it's been a long time since he last parked in victory lane.   In fact, it was 2007 and a good year for man that drivers the pink sprint car, that we have come to know as the "Pink Panther".

In the 2007 season, Williamson won three features, two at the Delaware International Speedway and his third and final win came at the Hagerstown, MD Speedway on August 18. His three wins that season tied eventual season long champion Curt Michael who also won three URC features that season. Williamson ended the season long campaign fourth in the final point chase.

2007 was also a season of different winners as twenty drivers shared the URC victory lane podium that year. It was the year that both JJ Grasso and Davey Sammons earned their first career URC win.

As Kramer would say, enough with looking back, it's time to look forward.   In 2010, Kramer Williamson was enjoying a career rebound. Firmly planted in the top ten in points most of the season, he was delivering consistent finishes.   On Saturday night, September 4th at the Delaware International Speedway, Williamson was impressive, finishing a solid and strong second place finish.   Williamson and his Pink Panther were fast.   The following night, URC invaded the Georgetown Speedway and Williamson was fast once again. Unfortunately, a malfunction with the steering sent Williamson into a spin, off the speedway and into the tree line that borders the highway.

Kramer was confident that the feature was his on this night, but a long ride on the wrecker back to the pits will be the standing memory of Georgetown.

Again, it's time to look forward as Kramer Williamson and his Armorboard Packaging #73 head to the Delaware International on Saturday night, September 25.   The momentum is strong and the success is near and Kramer is looking for that visit to the victory lane just one more time before the close of 2010.   His sponsorship support is behind him as well and joining Armorboard is Pepsi-Cola with thanks to Chris Bashore, Boyer Signs and representative Brian Boyer and Bruce Rambler of Rambler Automotive also of Palmyra. JR Shocks in North Carolina and Chubby of CnB Mushroom have also come to the support of Kramer Williamson over the years.

Kramer's crew includes Jason Simmons, the newest addition to the team and his magic is quickly showing on the track.   Also on the team is Cliffy Irvn, a very dedicated crew member since 1997. Of course, Kramer's daughter Felecia is also there to offer a hand and takes care of attending the driver's meeting, preps the radio, confirms the line-up and buckles dad firmly to the Panther. Kramer's son Kurt acts as crew chief whenever he gets the opportunity to attend the URC events.   His schedule is very busy as he works with Steven Wallace and Bryon Gaughan RWI (Rusty Wallace Inc.) on the Nationwide Series. With Dover running on the September 25 weekend, Kurt will be pit side at Delaware International to hopefully guide the Pink Panther to victory lane.

The Rislone URC Sprint Series will be in action at the Delaware International Speedway on Saturday, September 25. This will mark the twentieth URC event of the season and fourteen different drivers have won URC events this season.
