Pittsburgh, PA (April 24, 2013) Jimmy Owens of Newport, TN has been disqualified from the 'Let's Get Dirty 75' at Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55 in Pevely, MO and will be assessed several other penalties because a tire he used during the April 13 event failed a laboratory test and does not conform with the manufacturers submitted benchmark, NDRL officials have announced. Owens will forfeit his $20,000 win and all points earned for that event.

Samples were taken from the right front, left rear and right rear tires that were mounted on Owens' car during post-race inspection and were tested for conformance to the manufacturer's submitted benchmark. The testing results did not meet the Hoosier UMP LM-40 tire benchmark which has forced NDRL officials to strip Owens of the huge $20,000 victory.

(April 21, 2013) The 2013 Lucas Cattle Company ULMA season got underway Saturday night at Lucas Oil Speedway in a big way with 26 competitors hitting the track for competition. Early season racing is sometimes anyone’s guess as to how the night will pan out but the track crew did their best to stay up on things throughout the night in the cool and damp air and drivers raced hard to work their way to the front of the field.

Prior to the main event, drivers competed to secure passing points for a spot in the main event starting grid. Jason Russell, last year’s overall ULMA champ picked up where he left off by taking the first heat race with Larry Jones and JD Hubert close behind. Tommy Cordray and Jon Binning put on a side-by-side race clinic in heat two until Cordray pulled away late to take the win over Binning and Mike Berger. The third and final heat went to ULMA Rookie of the Year contender Payton Looney who secured the win ahead of last year’s Lucas Oil Speedway track champion Jeremy Kelley followed by newcomer Earl Roark.
