Faust, Hancock, Medley & Mooney take victories at I-55 Raceway!

Pevely, MO (July 26, 2008) A stellar field of 121 racecars filled the pit area and a grandstands packed full of people enjoyed a spectacular night of racing.

Thirty-two UMP DIRTcar Late Models signed in to compete and they provided the fans with one of the most exciting finishes in recent memory at I-55 Raceway. In the feature event, Michael Kloos jumped out to the early lead from the front row pole starting position. Kloos led the first eleven laps before Mark Voigt slipped by to take over the top spot. Voigt would soon feel the heat from Tim Manville and Billy Faust as the three battled it out at the front of the field. A late caution would fly with just two laps remaining with Voigt still out front while Manville was second and Faust third. On the restart, Manville dove under Voigt going into turn one, but couldn't make the pass. Faust used his momentum on the high side to slip past Manville down the backstretch. Voigt led as they took the white flag and he would go into turn one on the low side while Faust went around the top. Voigt would lead as they exited turn two and headed down the backstretch, but Faust had the momentum from the top side and dove under Voigt going into turn three. Faust would complete the pass and beat Voigt by a car length to the checkered flag. Manville would finish a very close third. Kloos would come home with a fourth place finish. Ed Dixon made a great run through the field as he started eleventh and finished in the fifth spot.

Once again, the UMP DIRTcar Modified division had another outstanding feature event with Tim Hancock taking the win by half car length over last week's winner Mike Harrison. Hancock started on the pole and led all twenty laps of the main event, however, it took everything he could muster to hold off Harrison in the closing laps. Harrison pulled along side Hancock in almost every turn in the final five laps but couldn't keep enough momentum to complete the pass. Ray Walsh continued his march to the track championship at I-55 Raceway in the modified division as he finished third. Fourth place went to Ricky Horton while Jerry Grither completed the top five. In post race tech, officials inspected the "pull bar" on the rear-end of Harrison's car. They wanted to ensure no holes had been drilled in the "biscuits" in the pull bar in which small springs could be mounted. This type of setup has been found at other tracks and is not legal per the UMP rules. Harrison's car was found completely LEGAL.

Troy Medley claimed his third straight UMP DIRTcar Sportsman feature event at I-55 Raceway. Medley chased down race leader Troy Naeger and finally caught him with three laps remaining. The two raced side by side for the final three laps with Medley earning the win at the line. Jeff Herzog, who started all the way back in the sixteenth starting spot, came home a close third behind Naeger. Kyle Stolzer took the fourth spot with Jimmy Cummins completing the top five.

Homer Mooney claimed the UMP/AARA Pro 4 Stock main event. Mooney led all ten laps of the main event. Aaron Wood would finish in the second position with Jason Crump taking third. Fourth would go to Pat Brewer while Jacob Buechting completed the top five.

Korte, Harrison, Medley & Mooney take Race Night for Special Champions victories at I-55 Raceway!

Pevely, MO (July 19, 2008) I-55 Raceway and Shop N Save Grocery Stores teamed up for a special charity event to raise money for the Special Olympics of Missouri and Illinois. The event attracted another huge turnout at I-55 Raceway as 130 racecars filled the pit area. The event helped raise a lot of money for Special Olympics.

Twenty-nine UMP DIRTcar Late Models were on hand to compete for the $5,000 top prize. Randy Korte of Highland, IL took home the winner's share as he led all thirty laps of the main event. Billy Faust kept constant pressure on Korte as the two battled nose to tail lap after lap but would have to settle for a second place finish. Kevin Weaver, who ran third most of the event, stayed right with the two leaders as they battled through lapped traffic. Rusty Griffaw provided the excitement as he stormed from the eleventh starting position all the way up to third in just a few short laps as went to the top side of the track while everyone else battled on the low side. At times, Griffaw passed as many as three or four cars per lap as he went toward the front. However, Griffaw's run would come up short as the top side slowly went away along with his tires. Weaver would get back past Griffaw in the closing laps to finish third. Bryan Collins would complete the top five.

In what may of been the best UMP DIRTcar Modified feature ever run at I-55 Raceway, Mike Harrison of Highland, IL came away with the win with a spectacular pass for the lead in the closing laps. With only one caution slowing the twenty-five lap main event, no less than nine cars finished the feature within a 1/4 of the straight-away with each other. They battled two, three and four wide as they came out of turn four for the checkered flag, not only battling each other, but also five lapped cars were also in the mix. The leaders were scrambling through the lapped cars in the closing laps with Harrison making an incredible move through the lapped cars on the back stretch with just two laps remaining to wrestle the lead from Tommie Seets, Jr.

Harrison's night could of ended in disaster at that point as the lapped car of Eric Edgar made contact with the backstretch wall right in front of Harrison, causing Harrison to make an evasive move to avoid him. Harrison would survive and get to the checkered flag first. Seets would finish a very close second. Matt Mevert, Brent Mullins and Bobby Martintoni would complete the top five, however those finishing sixth through tenth were right there battling with them.

Troy Medley took another exciting victory in the UMP Sportsman division. Medley and Paul Bauman battled for most of the fifteen lap distance, however Medley would open up his lead to a few car lengths in the final three laps to earn the victory. Bauman would finish second with Danny Ems taking third. Jeff Herzog would finish fourth with Jason Keller completing the top five.

Homer Mooney paced all ten laps of the UMP/AARA Pro 4 Stock division feature event. Gary Range would finish second with Pat Brewer, Cody Conner and Jason Crump completing the top five.

Korte, Arpin, Herzog & Portell take victories at I-55 Raceway June 7

Randy Korte takes the checkered flag in the UMP Late Model feature event!

Steve Arpin (00) working his way through traffic in the UMP Modified heat race.

Pevely, MO (June 7, 2008) A big field of 134 racecars filled the pit area at I-55 Raceway on a very hot and humid evening. Twenty-nine UMP DIRTcar Late Models were on hand and Randy Korte of Highland, IL was back to compete for the first time since a back injury in February sidelined him. Korte looked stronger than ever as he swept the night's racing events by winning his heat race, the dash and the main event. Korte took the lead at the drop of the green flag and was never seriously challenged in the twenty-five lap main event for the lead. Tim Manville was able to get close as they worked lapped traffic, but Korte would once again pull away once he got cleared of the lapped cars. Korte would take the win by six car lengths over Manville. Mark Faust, making his first visit of 2008 to I-55 Raceway, would have a solid night and come home with a third place finish. Mark Voigt would take the fourth spot with Ken Rumble completing the top five.

Steve Arpin of Fort Frances, ON, Canada left northern Minnesota at 6:00am Saturday morning, watching the radar on their cell phones as they proceeded south looking for a place to race. Ten hours later, they arrived at I-55 Raceway ready to compete against fourty-three other UMP DIRTcar Modifieds. A bad pill draw as signed in the gate left Arpin with a dead last starting spot in the third of five heat races. Arpin roared from the ninth starting spot in the heat race all the way to second in just five laps. He wasn't able to get past the leader, Mike Harrison for the win, but his second place finish from a last place start was enough with the passing point system to earn him a pole starting spot for the dash. Tommie Seets, Jr. would edge Arpin out for the win in the dash, but Arpin would finish second, giving him the outside front row starting spot for the feature. Arpin took the lead at the drop of the green flag and led all twenty laps of the main event. As Arpin pulled away to the win, Seets would also pull away from the rest of the field to finish second. The battle was fierce for the third spot, as Ricky Horton made a late race pass on Harrison to earn the third spot. Harrison would finish fourth with Doug Wood claiming fifth.

The UMP DIRTcar Sportsman feature ended in a huge disappointment for Tim Hollerbach, who was looking for his first ever feature win. Hollerbach led the first thirteen laps of the fifteen lap main event and then things went terribly wrong down the back-stretch as two-time defending track champion Troy Naeger got into Hollerbach's left rear, sending Hollerbach spinning down the backstretch. Naeger would be disqualified from the event, but Hollerbach was also sent to the rear on the restart for being part of the caution. That turned the lead over to Jeff Herzog, who went on to win his second straight feature event after picking up his first ever feature win at I-55 Raceway just two weeks earlier. Jimmy Miller would have his best finish ever at I-55 Raceway as he came home with a second place finish. Kent Nations would finish third, with Ronnie Bader taking fourth and Kyle Stolzer would complete the top five.

The biggest field ever for a regular weekly racing event were on hand in the UMP/AARA Pro 4 Stock division. Twenty-eight cars signed in and twenty-six of those started the main event. Nathan Portell would hold off Jason Crump to earn the victory. Tim Griffaw would finish in the third spot with Pat Brewer taking fourth and Gary Range fifth.

Pevely, MO (May 17, 2008) I-55 Raceway had another night with a great field of racers as 125 racecars filled the pit area. The nice warm weather also brought out a big crowd to watch all the exciting action.

Bryan Collins of Elsberry, MO grabbed his third UMP DIRTcar Late Model feature win of 2008 at I-55 Raceway. After blowing his engine the previous night at another racetrack, Collins got the nod to pilot Randy Korte's machine. Korte still remains sidelined after injuring his back in racing accident in Florida back in February. Although the car was a different chassis than his normal ride, Collins looked right at home in the seat of Korte's machine as he got the win.

Dave Jumper got the early lead as the feature event got underway only to have Danny Haynes wrestle the lead away from him on lap five. Haynes would lead most of the way down the stretch as he fended off challenges from Billy Faust, Collins and Tim Manville during the middle part of the event. However, Collins soon found the right line and moved past Faust for second and then took over Haynes for the lead and pulled away to take the win. Faust would get by Haynes as well and finish in the second spot. Haynes would finish third with Manville fourth and Mark Voigt completed the top five.

Another stellar battle for the lead was on display in the UMP DIRTcar Modified division. Tim Hancock took the lead on lap two from Mike Harrison and led the majority of the event. However, Harrison, Bobby Bittle and Mark Miner all swapped the second, third and fourth positions around as they chased Hancock. A caution on lap fourteen would allow everyone to close right up on Hancock. On the restart, Harrison went to the top and took the lead from Hancock, but Harrison would only lead for one lap as Hancock proved to be too strong and snatched the lead back. Hancock thought he was on his way to victory, but as he went through turn three on the final lap, the yellow light would come on once again, forcing Hancock to fend off Harrison yet again on another restart. This time, Hancock got a much better restart and held off Harrison and took the win. Harrison would take second with Bittle crossing the line third. Miner would finish in the fourth spot with Bobby Martintoni rounding out the top five.

A spectacular four car battle for the lead kept the fans excited in the UMP Sportsman division. Kent Nations, Jeff Herzog, Jason Keller and Troy Naeger had a great four way battle for the lead for the first five laps. Nations would then take control of the event and it appeared he was on his way to victory. However, trouble would find Nations on lap twelve. While enjoying a comfortable five car length lead, Nations was working lapped traffic when one of the cars he was lapping spun right into the right side of his machine. Nations would suffer a flat right rear tire and would have to go pitside for repairs. That turned the lead over to Naeger who cruised on to victory. Herzog would finish second with Keller taking third. Troy Medley would finish fourth and Gary Haynes took fifth.

Gary Price led all ten laps of the UMP Pro 4 Stock division. Price pulled away for the win while Homer Mooney and Jacob Buechting battled it out side by side for the second spot. Mooney would hang on for second at the finish line with Buechting taking third. Jason Crump would finish fourth and Jason Marquitz fifth.

Collins, Mullins, Naeger, Mooney & Leahy take wins at I-55 Raceway!

Pevely, MO (May 3, 2008) On an unusually cold night in May, a great field of 120 racecars were on hand at I-55 Raceway to do battle on the high banked 1/3 mile dirt oval.

Two time and defending I-55 Raceway UMP DIRTcar Late Model Champion Bryan Collins of Elsberry, MO captured his second victory of 2008. Collins and Rusty Griffaw had a great battle for the lead during the first half of the main event, but Collins would pull away in the closing laps to claim the victory. The event was marred by a lap two crash in turn three that ended the night for several top competitors who had great runs in their qualifying heat races. The melee started when Dewayne Kiefer got into the back Dave Jumper at the end of the back stretch sending him spinning into turn three. The ensuing crash collected Tim Ratajczyk, Kevin Epperson, Dylan Sharp and Rich Lawson.

Once the race was back underway, Collins and Griffaw battled for the lead, while Danny Haynes and Tim Manville fought for the third position and Billy Faust and Ed Dixon battled for the fifth spot. When the dust settled, it was Collins winning, Griffaw second, Haynes third, Manville fourth and Faust fifth.

Once again, the drivers in the UMP DIRTcar Modified division at I-55 Raceway put on one of the best races that this class can provide. There were essentially eight cars in a pack battling for the lead. Brent Mullins led every lap on the scorers sheets, but he had his hands full for all twenty laps. Mike Harrison tried every possible way to get around Mullins but could never find the right combination. Meanwhile, Ray Walsh put a show that any fan could appreciate as tried every possible line around the 1/3 mile oval looking for a way to get to the front. Walsh, who slipped as far back as fifth place while looking for a fast line, finally found one in the closing laps as he sent sparks showering from his machine from scraping the outside wall lap after lap. With his momentum from the high side, Walsh squeezed by Harrison and the outside wall coming to take the checkered flag and stole the second position, but came up just short of Mullins for the win.

Following Mullins, Walsh and Harrison across the line were Scott Weber finishing fourth and Bobby Bittle fifth. Bittle did his own high side highwire act as well, as he passed Paul Bauman, Bobby Martintoni and Ricky Horton in the closing laps to move up to fifth.

In the UMP DIRTcar Sportsman division, things were looking great for Jason Keller as he pulled out to a big lead in the main event, but as luck would have it, the caution flag would fly with just five laps remaining. That brought two time defending UMP National Champion and I-55 Raceway Track Champion Troy Naeger right up to his back bumper for the restart. Naeger seized the opportunity and quickly moved past Keller on the restart as Keller slipped in turns three and four. Naeger would pull away to his second victory of the season at I-55 Raceway. Keller would claim the second position with Troy Medley finishing third, Kent Nations fourth and Tim Hollerbach fifth. Twenty-two of the original twenty-four starters finished the main event which only had one brief caution period.

Homer Mooney raced to the UMP DIRTcar/AARA Pro 4 Stock victory. Mooney outlasted Pat Brewer and last week's winner Jacob Buechting for the win.

Bobby Bittle of Smithton, IL claimed the UMP DIRTcar Modified feature event

Billy Faust of Lebanon, IL claimed the UMP DIRTcar Late Model feature event!

Mark Voigt(#30), Billy Faust(#92B) and Tim Manville (#33) battle it out for the UMP DIRTcar Late Model lead in Saturday’s feature event at I-55 Racewa
Faust, Bittle, Medley & Buechting take victories at I-55 Raceway!

Pevely, MO (April 26, 2008) A huge field of 132 racecars filled the pit area in I-55 Raceway's four divisions. Twenty-seven competitors entered the UMP DIRTcar Late Model division and it was Billy Faust of Lebanon, Illinois grabbing the win. After the pill draw for heat race starting spots, Faust found himself starting dead last in the first heat race. But Faust worked the traffic superbly and worked his way up to a third place finish in his heat. With the passing point system, that great heat race run gave him a second row starting spot in the dash. Faust would then power his way to victory in the dash. Faust would start the feature event from the pole position, but would have his hands full throughout the event with Mark Voigt and Tim Manville. Manville would keep the heat on Faust in the early laps, but as the laps began to wind down, Voigt moved past Manville and took to a higher line and reeled in Faust in lapped traffic. Voigt would pull alongside Faust on a couple of occassions but couldn't make the pass. Faust, Voigt and Manville would provide a great three way finish as they worked heavy lapped traffic as twenty-six cars actually started the feature and twenty-four of those cars took the checkered flag. Faust would hold on and take the win, with Voigt taking second and Manville third. Dewayne Kiefer and Rodney Melvin completed the top five.

The 2007 I-55 Raceway UMP DIRTcar Modified track champion, Bobby Bittle, picked up his first win of 2008 at I-55 Raceway. Bittle jumped out in front of pole sitter Jerry Grither and never looked back. With forty-four UMP DIRTcar Modifieds on hand, it was a tough challenge just to make the twenty-four car starting field. After winning the second heat race and the dash, Grither completed one of his best nights in a long time at I-55 Raceway with a second place feature finish. Ray Walsh, who had won both previous UMP DIRTcar Modified events at I-55 Raceway this season, held off the hard charging Ricky Horton for third. Brent Mullins, who had traded the fifth spot over and over with Bobby Martintoni, held on at the end to claim the fifth spot.

The UMP DIRTcar/AARA Sportsman division provided one of the most competitive feature events of the evening. Troy Medley jumped out to the lead from the pole position with Troy Naeger battling alongside him. Jeff Herzog moved into the battle for the lead on lap three and then took the lead from Medley. Herzog would open up a six car length lead as Medley and Naeger battled for the second position. Herzog appeared to be on his way to a big victory, but the caution flag flew with just two laps remaining, allowing Medley and Naeger to restart right on his bumper. Medley jumped to the outside immediately on the restart and took the lead from Herzog. Medley would take the win with Herzog crossing the line second. A flat left rear tire on Naeger's car would send him all the way back to a sixth place finish. Jimmy Cummins would take the third position with Tim Hollerbach finishing fourth and Danny Ems fifth.

The UMP DIRTcar/AARA Pro 4 Stocks had a first time winner as Jacob Buechting held off some great competition in a four car battle for the lead. Homer Mooney slid past Nathan Portell on the final lap to finish second with Portell taking third. Gary Range finished in the fourth position with Jason Crump completing the top five.

Collins, Walsh, Naeger & Mooney takes victories at I-55 Raceway!
Pevely, MO (March 29, 2008) One hundred and ten racecars and their crews didn't let a damp, chili night keep them away from opening night of the 2008 racing season at I-55 Raceway.

Twenty-two UMP DIRTcar Late Models were on hand and provided the fans with a typical great feature event that fans are accustom to at I-55 Raceway. Craig Smith jumped out to early lead from the pole position, but had Bryan Collins, Rusty Griffaw and Billy Faust keeping the pressure on him early on in the main event. Smith's run at the top would only last nine laps before mechanical failure would slow his ride and end his night. Collins would take the lead on the restart after the caution for Smith, but the caution flew immediately again on the restart as fourth place running Darren Forrest got into the back of third place running Griffaw sending Griffaw spinning in turn two and causing several other cars to spin to miss the melee. Griffaw's great run would end there and Forrest was disqualified for rough driving. The rest of the feature event turned into a two car battle as Collins and Faust battled for the lead lap after lap, but Collins would hang on at the finish to pick up the win. Faust took the second spot. Danny Haynes made a great run through the field to pick up the third position. Tim Manville also worked his way through the pack and finished fourth. Dylan Sharp, making his debut in a late model after several years in the modified division, had an impressive run as he completed the top five and ran near the front all night.

In the UMP DIRTcar Modified division, the man referred to as the "SHOW STOPPER", Ray Walsh, was in fine form to start the 2008 racing season as he powered his way into the lead on lap ten and never looked back as he pulled away to a dominating win. Larry Hull and Bobby Martintoni started on the front row of the main event and battled relentlessly for the lead, but a flat tire would end Hull's night early. Martintoni led the first nine laps before being overtaken by Walsh. Martintoni brought his car home with a second place finish. Doug Wood continued his great runs from the end of last year as he came home in the third position. Brian Worley took the fourth spot with Mark Miner completing the top five.

Two-time and defending UMP DIRTcar Sportsman Champion Troy Naeger started his bid for a third straight championship by claiming victory on opening night at I-55 Raceway. However, it didn't come without a little contraversy. Kent Nations led the first thirteen laps of the main event, but as he and Naeger raced through lapped traffic, Naeger got under Nations down the backstretch and the two made contact, sending Nations up out of the preferred line. Nations would settle for the second spot. Gary Haynes claimed the third position with Tom Smallwood finishing fourth and Tim Hollerbach rounded out the top five.

Homer Mooney and Brandon Hedgecoth put on a great race in the UMP DIRTcar Pro 4 Cylinder division. The two battled side-by-side and nose-to-tail all ten laps of the main event. Mooney would just edge Hedgecock at the line to earn the win. Jacob Buechting would take the third spot with Jason Crump finishing fourth and Gary Range fifth.

UMP DIRTcar Roundup Will Rock I-55 Raceway
With More Than 500 Competitors In Eight Divisions

CONCORD, N.C. — Dec. 7, 2007 — Four days of racing. Eight classes of cars. More than 500 competitors and thousands of laps. The thrilling high banks of Ken Schrader’s I-55 Raceway will never be the same after the inaugural UMP DIRTcar Roundup, the largest event in UMP DIRTcar Racing history. 

From Oct. 15-18, Super Late Models, Open Wheel Modifieds, Pro Modifieds, Pro Late Models, Sportsman, Street Stocks, Factory Stocks and 4-Cylinders all will have a chance to shine on four consecutive days, which include feature events every night in the Mississippi River town of Pevely, Mo., just south of St. Louis in the heart of UMP DIRTcar Racing country. 

“We’ve been looking for the right event to showcase I-55 Raceway and create a signature race that all the participants of UMP DIRTcar Racing want to attend,” said NASCAR star Ken Schrader. “I’m excited I-55 Raceway will be the host. There isn’t a faster or more competitive 11/32-mile track in the world. Plus, the atmosphere will be unlike any other race. This won’t be just a bunch of races, this will be a four-day party in Pevely.” 

No doubt, with at least 500 cars expected to compete, the UMP DIRTcar Roundup will be the most unique dirt track event in the world. 

“Building off of the success of the inaugural World of Outlaws World Finals, Florida DIRTcar Nationals and our annual Super DIRT Week, we’re excited to finally have a destination event for all of the UMP DIRTcar Racing competitors and fans,” said World Racing Group President Tom Deery. “We’re thrilled that Ken Schrader and Ray Marler are on board, too, because there isn’t a better venue than I-55 Raceway to host what will no doubt become one of dirt racing’s biggest successes. I can’t wait for October to see all of the motorhomes and competitors take over the grounds at I-55 for four days of fun.”
