Lebanon I-44 Speedway Hosts UMP Late Model Summer Nationals Tonight
(Please post for Tuesday, June 19, 2007)
(Lebanon) The UMP Late Model Summer Nationals hit the high banks of
the Lebanon I-44 Speedway tonight for a special Tuesday night of
racing in the Ozarks. Many of the top Late Model drivers in the
country are competing in this grueling schedule of 28 races in 30
days.
Keep your eyes out for Dennis Erb, who drives the #15 Late Model out
of Carpentersville, IL. Erb is off to a hot start, winning the first
two races on the UMP Summer National tour at Kankakee Speedway and
Kamp Motor Speedway in Boswell, Indiana. Erb placed 6th place Sunday
night at the Tri-State Speedway in Haubstadt, IN.
Also look for UMP Late Model points leader Wes Steidinger, and others
like Kevin Cole, Jason Feger, and Rusty Schlenk to race tonight on the
high banked red clay at speeds in excess of 105 MPH.
The UMP Summer National tour raced at Jefferson County Raceway in Mt.
Vernon, IL, Monday night before heading to the Ozarks for tonight's
race.
Track owner Randy Mooneyham expects a car count of at least 40 late
models at the high banks of the Lebanon I-44 Speedway, as local
favorites like Brad Looney, Brandon McCormick, Larry Jones and Dustin
Mooneyham face off against the fast late model drivers of the UMP
Summer Nationals.
Factory Stock and Bombers will also race Tuesday night at the Lebanon
I-44 Speedway. Gates open at 5PM, and racing starts promptly at
730PM.
