(Paducah, KY) This Friday, May 9, 2007 at Paducah International Raceway will be the return of the UMP Street Stock Special. The $400 to win, $50 dollar to start feature event will have some of the toughest competition of the year. Last years PIR track champion Mike Watson is looking to pick up the lions share of the purse. Watson will have plenty of company for the top spot with Darrell Hartman, Poncho Elder, and others all trying to compete for not only the money but also valuable track and regional UMP points.
In addition to the Street Stock special, PIR will have moon buggy races during intermission. Students from area high schools will be racing the moon buggies that they designed and built. Marshall County South Elementary School students and faculty will be recognized for outstanding achievement during the recent testing.
Other classes racing will include the UMP Late Models, Modifieds, and 4-Cylinder Warriors. Outlaw Mini-Sprints will also compete on the 1/5th mile oval at PIR.
Tickets are on sale now for NASCAR Night I presented by Harrah’s Metropolis Casino & Hotel that was rained out on May 3rd and has been rescheduled for Thursday June 7th.
