                In just a few days, ULMA drivers will compete at the ‘Historic Half Mile’ in Sedalia, Missouri, on what will likely be one of the biggest ULMA events drivers have ever competed in. ULMA will serve as the support class for the immensely popular World of Outlaws sprint cars, returning to the half mile for the first time since 2010 this Friday, April 20th. The ULMA portion of the race received an extra boost when two race fans, also local businessmen, answered the call for business partners to team with ULMA to increase the purse and ULMA extends its sincerest thanks to these businesses for their support.

 

                Midland Printing & Promotional Products, Inc. will award one driver a $100 bonus for a mystery finish from the results of the late model main event. Midland Printing, which is located at 1021 South Ohio in Sedalia, Missouri, is a long-time race supporter at the Missouri State Fair Speedway.

                Extra purse money is also on the line this Saturday night as Lucas Oil Speedway, which opens its 2012 weekly racing program with $1,000 up for grabs to the ULMA feature race winner.

                Last weekend, ULMA drivers Larry Jones, Jason Russell, and Chris Morelock participated in the MLRA race program at Lucas Oil Speedway and raced their way into the main event all on their own, not needing one of two ULMA provisional starting spots offered to participating ULMA drivers. These drivers and Mike Berger earned ULMA points for competing in this team effort. There are three additional races in which MLRA and ULMA will pair up for the benefit of late model racing, look for more information throughout the year. For additional information about Lucas Oil Speedway, visit them online at www.lucasoilspeedway.com.

 

                Last Friday’s action at Callaway Raceway was washed out by Mother Nature but the track is set for round two of its weekly race program again this Friday as the track comes back to life with another full race program. Jason Russell captured the first win of the season two weeks ago at the raceway and currently leads the overall ULMA standings. Who will take the win this Friday is anyone’s guess; for additional information visit www.callawayraceways.comfor race day details. With three chances to earn points this weekend, the point standings will definitely change when they are released early next week.
