Aaron Willison Returns to Must See Competition This Saturday at Berlin

Langley, British Columbia, Canadian driver Aaron Willison headlines a stout field of Must See Racing Sprint Series Presented by Perfit-Parts sprint cars heading into this Saturday’s August 10 event at Berlin Raceway in Marne, Michigan.

Willison has been nothing short of sensational in MSR competition in 2024. Despite missing two races, he still finds himself sitting tenth in the series championship points chase.

He made his MSR debut at Lancaster Motorplex June 1 in Lancaster, New York. He was sensational right out of the box in the Dick Myers owned #50m Mopar powered machine. Starting in the seventh starting spot, Willison put on a thrilling drive to the front and worked himself into position for a shot at the win on the final corner of the final lap of the race. He was able to get alongside eventual race winner Bobby Santos III to no avail and was forced to settle for second place.

In victory lane he commented on his late race charge to MSR PA announcer Jacob Seelman. “One or two more laps, and I think we might have gotten him,” said Willison. “It was such a pleasure to drive this 50m for Dick Myers; he put together a rocket tonight. It was rolling really well. It’s a shame that track position got the best of us at the end, but we had fun driving up through the field.”

Even race winner Santos acknowledged how much of a threat Willison was. “That was tough, both in the middle and at the end,” said Santos in victory lane. “That 50 car has been the model of [asphalt] winged sprint car racing for a long time now, and then putting someone as talented as Aaron Willison in it is a scary thing. He was coming there at the end.”

In Willison’s most recent MSR appearance at Owosso Speedway on June 22, he put it all together and won his first career MSR feature victory in only his second career series start. He won in dominating fashion no less, winning by a ten second plus margin of victory. It was one of the most dominant MSR performances seen in many years.

Willison and car owner Dick Myers have formed a lethal combination. Many believe this is the most dominant the Myers owned car has been since the late Cameron Dodson wheeled the same car in the mid-2000’s.

Competing in MSR events is no easy task for Willison. It’s approximately 2400 miles one way and necessitates a whole day of travel time with layovers. Arriving at the airport early in the morning is a common place.

The duo will now head to Berlin Raceway where Myers has had tremendous success over the years, winning multiple winged sprint car races with different drivers. In addition, Willison is at the top of his game and is fresh off the 50K Open Wheel Showdown in Las Vegas last December. He also picked up 10K for victory in Colorado last month. If Willison and Myers have it their way, it could be a long night for the competition this Saturday night at Berlin Raceway.

Saturday’s event will also be the second round of the ’Fast Car Dash’ mini-series.
