Pevely, MO (August 23, 2008) Dennis Erb, Jr. of Carpentersville, IL won his second big event this month at I-55 Raceway as he edged out Missouri's Terry Phillips in the UMP/MARS Clash that payed $5,000 to the winner. Erb won the Tri-Track Challenge earlier this month at I-55 Raceway and pocketed $16,000 for that win which included a $10,000 bonus. Erb got the lead from Phillips on lap nine and it appeared he was going to run away with the win, but Phillips, who faded all the way back to fourth at one point, came on strong in the closing laps and actually took the lead from Erb. But Erb fought back on the low side of Phillips to get the lead back and held on for a very close victory at the line. Billy Moyer crossed the line in third behind Phillips and Brian Shirley finish fourth. Jason Feger completed the top five after starting in the fifteenth position.
Ray Walsh thrilled the fans in the UMP Modified division as he stormed to the lead in just twelve laps after starting all the way back in the eighteenth starting spot. After getting the lead, Walsh then had to hold off the challenges of Bobby Bittle and Larry Hull. Hull passed Bittle with just two laps remaining for the second spot and pulled along side Walsh for the lead on the final lap. But Hull would come up just short at the finish line and settle for second behind Walsh. Bittle would finish in the third position with Bobby Martintoni and Ricky Horton rounding out the top five.

Jeff Herzog extended his point lead in the UMP Sportsman as he completed the clean sweep by winning his qualifying heat race, the dash and the main event. Troy Naeger finished a close second with Troy Medley taking third. Brad Paquet had his best finish of the season as he took fourth and Jason Keller completed the top five.

Jacob Buechting claimed the UMP/AARA Pro 4 Stock feature event. He paced the field for all ten laps enroute to the victory. Jeff Turner crossed the line in second with Homer Mooney claiming third.
