This season’s only repeat Late Model winner, Terry English of Benton, will lead a large field of the best UMP Late Model drivers and cars in the Midwest into the first segment of the sixth annual Tri-Track Challenge Series Friday at PIR. $6000 awaits the driver first under the checkered flag in the extra distance main event, making Friday’s Late Model feature purse the highest posted so far this season.
The Series will move on to I-55 Speedway in Pevely, MO on Saturday, then to Macon (IL) Speedway on Sunday. Each race pays $6000 to win and should any driver win two out of the three events, he will receive a $10,000 bonus. That makes a weekend sweep worth a total of $28,000. Shannon Babb of Moweaqua, IL is the only driver ever to pocket the $10,000 bonus.
Last year’s winners were Brian Shirley, Kevin Cole, and Dennis Erb. The sixth annual UMP Late Model Tri-Track Challenge racing weekend includes three nights of racing on three different tracks in three different states.
PIR’s supporting divisions will also be on the card, including four more UMP divisions: Modifieds, Crate (Pro) Late Models, Street Stocks, and 4-cylinder Warriors. An increased winner’s purse of $600 will be paid to the Modified winner. The Super Cell Mini Sprints also will compete.
For more information about each race please call PIR, hosting the opening Tri-Track challenge event this Friday, May 30th, at (270) 898-7469.
Camping is available at each track.
