Wednesday’s UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals Stop At Morgan County Speedway Postponed By Rain To Mon., July 7

JACKSONVILLE , IL – July 2, 2008 – Unrelenting rain forced the postponement of Wednesday night’s UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals event at Morgan County Speedway.

The 40-lap, $6,000-to-win show has been rescheduled for Mon., July 7 – a scheduled off-day on the Summer Nationals slate.

Two light showers – one that delayed the start of hot laps, and another midway through the Super Late Model time trials – slowed the program but weren’t enough to stop it. Officials finally had to throw in the towel, however, when the rain intensified around 8:40 p.m. as the surface of the high-banked, quarter-mile oval was being run in. Strong thunderstorms moved into the area shortly thereafter.

Thirty-five Super Late Models were signed in for Wednesday night’s competition. Just over half the field had completed a time-trial lap in the group qualifying session before the rain stopped the action, with Jeep VanWormer of Pinconning, Mich. , the fastest on the clock at 11.655 seconds.

It was the third rainout of the 2008 UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals, joining postponements on June 13 at Brownstown ( Ind. ) Speedway and June 28 at StormPay.com Clarksville ( Tenn. ) Speedway . A fourth event, on June 21 at I-55 Raceway in Pevely , Mo. , was canceled and not rescheduled due to flood waters that covered the track’s access road.

The Summer Nationals continues on Thursday night (July 3) at the one-fifth-mile Macon ( Ill. ) Speedway with the $6,000-to-win Herald & Review 100.

UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals Night 14: VanWormer Powers To Second Victory Of Tour At Peoria Speedway

PEORIA , IL – July 1, 2008 – By Kellen Burns/DIRTcar Racing P.R. -

Winning certainly never gets old for Pinconning , Mich. ’s Jeep VanWormer.

The 33-year-old driver enjoyed another UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals triumph on Tuesday night, visiting RacingJunk.com Victory Lane for the second time on the 2008 tour at Peoria Speedway.

VanWormer hopes that his checkered flag sets him off on a strong run down the Summer Nationals homestretch.

“Hopefully we can win the rest of them (Summer Nationals events),” remarked the chauffeur of the popular No. 55, who sits fourth in the tour’s points standings. “That wouldn’t hurt my feelings a bit.”

VanWormer saw things go his way early in the evening, using a strong qualifying run and heat-race victory to position himself on the inside of the second row for the start of the 40-lap feature.

“We just had a good qualifying run and heat race,” said VanWormer, who earned $6,000 for his eighth career Summer Nationals win. “We drew third (for the A-Main) and that put us where we wanted to be – right on the bottom.”

VanWormer overtook defending Summer Nationals champion and current points leader Dennis Erb Jr. of Carpentersville , Ill. , for the lead on the second lap and never looked back. With the race running caution-free after an opening-lap slowdown, VanWormer maintained solid command and crossed the finish line ahead of former Summer Nationals champion Kevin Weaver of Gibson City , Ill. ,

Weaver used his familiarity with Peoria Speedway to his advantage. The runner-up finish was his best of the 2008 Summer Nationals.

“I’ve got a few laps around this place,” said Weaver, who started fourth. “We just have a pretty good Bill West car and we’ve just been working on it. I’m hoping to put some more good finishes together.”

Weaver was unsure if he could have challenged VanWormer with the help of a late-race caution flag, but he still took positives from the second-place finish.

“It’s hard to change your line and know where someone is behind you to try and pass someone else,” said Weaver. “It would have been tough to pass him.”

UMP DIRTcar hotshoe Wes Steidinger of Fairbury, Ill. , came through with another strong showing. Starting fifth, ‘The Fairbury Flyer’ used the low line to earn a hard fought third-place finish.

“I think we might have been better (than VanWormer and Weaver),” said Steidinger. “It got kind of one-lane on the bottom there.”

The competitive Steidinger took the third-place finish in stride on a track most drivers found hard to pass on late in the distance.

“Maybe I could have squeezed by them guys,” the pilot of the Rayburn No. J1 said of challenging the leaders. “It would have taken me several laps. I think we would have needed 100 laps instead of 40.”

Brian Shirley of Chatham , Ill. , finished fourth after slipping by Erb in the final laps, leaving Erb fifth at the finish. That left Erb atop the Summer Nationals points standings by just three markers over Shirley after 14 events.

Forty UMP DIRTcar Super Late Models packed the pits at Peoria Speedway, with Steidinger’s lap of 12.522 seconds fastest in the group qualifying session.

Heat races were won by Erb, Randy Korte of Highland , Ill. , Weaver and VanWormer, while Steve Sheppard Jr. of New Berlin , Ill. , captured the B-Main and Steve Lance Jr. of Cuba , Ill. , topped the C-main.

The UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals continues on Wednesday night (July 2) at Morgan County Speedway in Jacksonville , Ill.

UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals Night 13: Shirley Captures Rain-Shortened Event At Lincoln Speedway

LINCOLN, IL – June 29, 2008 – Brian Shirley turned his luck around on Sunday night, taking advantage of other drivers’ misfortune to win the rain-shortened UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals A-Main at Lincoln Speedway.

After a blown tire during heat action two nights earlier at Lawrenceburg ( Ind. ) Speedway set him down a road that cost him the Summer Nationals points lead, Shirley had everything go his way at the quarter-mile fairgrounds oval. He inherited the lead on two occasions from drivers who retired with mechanical trouble and was in front when rain arrived and forced officials to declare the race official with 26 of a scheduled 40 laps completed.

Shirley, 27, of Chatham , Ill. , recorded his second win of the 2008 Summer Nationals, joining Darren Miller of Milledgeville , Ill. , and defending champion Dennis Erb Jr. of Carpentersville , Ill. , as repeat tour winners. It was his fourth career triumph on the grueling month-long Super Late Model series.

The race’s fourth starter, Shirley found himself in front of the field for the first time with his Ed Petroff-owned No. 3s when race-long pacesetter Don O’Neal of Martinsville , Ind. , dropped out with mechanical woes on lap 21. Eric Smith of Bloomington , Ill. , overtook Shirley to assume command on the lap-21 restart, but he paced only two circuits before also pulling off with mechanical trouble.

Smith’s departure left Shirley in the lead on lap 24. He was still there on lap 26 when rain intensified during a caution flag for Jeep VanWormer of Pinconning, Mich. , prompting an early checkered flag and handing Shirley a $6,000 prize.

Wes Steidinger of Fairbury , Ill. , advanced from the ninth starting spot to finish second. Erb maintained a slim points lead over Shirley by placing third, with Ryan Unzicker of El Paso , Ill. , scoring a Summer Nationals-best finish of fourth and 16^th-starter Randy Korte of Highland , Ill. , taking fifth.

Four caution flags slowed the event, with the most serious incident for a lap-two rollover by Derek Chandler of Pontiac , Ill. He wasn’t injured.

VanWormer was the fastest qualifier among the 46 cars on hand, turning a lap of 13.712 seconds.

Heat winners were Smith, O’Neal, Matt Taylor of Springfield , Ill. , Shirley and VanWormer. The twin C-Mains were topped by Brandon Sheppard of New Berlin , Ill. , and Daren Friedman of Forrest , Ill. , and Korte captured the B-Main.

The UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals has a scheduled off day on Monday (June 30) before returning to action with Round 14 on Tuesday night (July 1) at Peoria (Ill.) Speedway.

UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals Event At Clarksville Speedway Postponed Until July 19

CLARKSVILLE, TN - June 28, 2008 – Officials with the StormPay.com Clarksville Speedway and the UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals tour decided in the morning to postpone Saturday night’s $10,000-to-win series event due to expected precipitation later in the day.

The track’s Summer Nationals event will now be run on Sat., July 19.

With a 70 percent chance of precipitation in the Clarksville area on Saturday, officials were concerned about the travel time for teams running Friday night’s UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals event at Lawrenceburg ( Ind. ) Speedway , Clarksville and Sunday night’s tour event at Lincoln ( Ill. ) Speedway . As a result, they decided to pull the plug on the event until July 19.

The Summer Nationals resumes with a $6,000-to-win event on Sunday night (June 29) at Don Hammer’s Lincoln Speedway.

Defending Summer Nationals champion Dennis Erb Jr. of Carpentersville , Ill. , leads the tour points standings entering Lincoln ’s action.

UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals Night 12: Erb Regains Points Lead With Victory At Rebuilt Lawrenceburg Speedway

LAWRENCEBURG, IN – June 27, 2008 – Dennis Erb Jr. is back on top and eyeing a second straight UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals title.

The tour’s defending champion was flawless on Friday night at the redesigned Lawrenceburg Speedway, leading from flag-to-flag to capture the 40-lap A-Main.

Erb, 36, of Carpentersville , Ill. , pocketed $10,000 for his second Summer Nationals victory of 2008 and the ninth of his career. He joined Darren Miller of Milledgeville , Ill. , as the only repeat winners through 12 events on the highly competitive tour.

The triumph propelled Erb into the Summer Nationals points lead over Brian Shirley of Chatham , Ill. , who fell from the catbird’s seat after experiencing a tough night. Shirley blew a right-rear tire in his heat race and used a provisional to start the A-Main, which he finished in the seventh spot after surviving a lap-21 restart tangle.

Erb, who started second in his Rayburn No. 28, captured the first Super Late Model event held on the reconfigured Lawrenceburg track. Formerly a quarter-mile oval, the showplace facility was rebuilt during the off-season to a high-banked, three-eighths-mile layout complete with a concrete outside wall.

Erb wasn’t seriously challenged after the departure of Darren Miller, who made several bids for the lead before retiring on lap 21. The driver known as the ‘One Man Band’ crossed the finish line several car lengths ahead of Highland , Ill. ’s Randy Korte, who reached second place from the eighth starting spot on lap 30 and finished in the runner-up slot.

Steve Sheppard Jr. of New Berlin , Ill. , finished third, followed by Wayne Chinn of Bradford , Ohio , and Steve Casebolt of Richmond , Ind.

Miller was the fastest qualifier among 36 entrants in the group time-trial session, turning a lap of 13.65 seconds.

Heat winners were Wes Steidinger of Fairbury , Ill. , Erb, Sheppard and Miller. The C-Main was captured by Shawn Negangard of Osgood , Ind. , and the B-Main was claimed by Josh Williams of Cleves , Ohio .

The tour is scheduled to continue on Saturday night (June 28) at StormPay.com Speedway in Clarksville , Tenn. , but UMP DIRTcar director Sam Driggers said the potential for storms will lead series and track officials to evaluate the weather situation on Saturday morning.

UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals Night 11: Claycomb Captures First Tour Victory Since 2000 At Paducah International Raceway

PADUCAH , KY – June 26, 2008 – By Kellen Burns /DIRTcar Racing P.R. –

Kevin Claycomb had certainly experienced his shares of frustrating runs on the 2008 UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals tour.

On Thursday night, however, the driver from Vincennes , Ind. , got the monkey off his back, racing to victory in the 40-lap Summer Nationals A-Main at the super-fast Paducah International Raceway.

Back behind the wheel this season after ending a four-year retirement, Claycomb became the 10^th driver in 11 Summer Nationals events to reach RacingJunk.com Victory Lane . The 1991 UMP DIRTcar Super Late Model national champion recorded his fourth career Summer Nationals win and first since 2000, also at Paducah .

Claycomb earned a win in the first heat race and used that to position himself in the fourth starting spot for the feature.

Previous event winners Darren Miller of Milledgeville , Ill. , and Dennis Erb Jr. of Carpentersville , Ill. , led early while Claycomb stalked them from third place. Miller, who ceded the lead to Erb on lap 10, lost second to Claycomb on the 12^th circuit and then slowed on lap 13 with a blown right-rear tire to bring out the event’s third and final caution flag.

On the restart Claycomb climbed the high banks of PIR and powered around Erb to assume command on lap 14. He drove away over the remaining distance in his Scott Clippinger Racing machine, beating Erb to the finish line by a full straightaway margin.

The veteran driver definitely was relieved to capture his first win on this year’s tour.

“It feels really good,” said Claycomb, who retired after shutting down his family-operated team in 2004. “We thought we had one at Mt. Vernon last week but went too soft on tires.”

The same gamble that lead to his demise last week paid dividends this time around. “We gambled again tonight and it paid off,” he said.

Erb once again showed the patience and consistency that won him both the UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals and UMP DIRTcar Super Late Model national points titles in 2007. He used the low line, which proved to be quickest in the early laps, to get to the front, but found his groove fading late.

“It’s not really my style to skate around up there (at the top),” said Erb. “We kind of jumped up there and held our own, brought home second again.

“He was pretty good up there,” Erb said of Claycomb’s high-side style. “I felt O.K. up there, but I just passed the guy for the lead on the bottom so I stayed with that.”

Duke Whiseant of Texarkana , Ark. , started 11th in his yellow No. A1  and climbed all the way to a third-place finish.

“We hit on something right before the feature and the car was really good,” said Whiseant. “I just wish we would have had some more laps.”

Brian Shirley of Chatam , Ill. , unofficially maintained a slim points lead over Erb with a fourth-place finish, and Jeff Walston of Paducah , Ky. , placed fifth.

Thirty-five dirt Late Models were on hand, with Wes Steidinger of Fairbury , Ill. , setting the overall quick time in the group qualifying session with a lap of 15.553 seconds.

Heat winners were Claycomb, Miller, Randy Korte of Highland , Ill. , and Erb. Randy Sellars of Mayfield , Ky. , topped the C-Main and Jeep VanWormer of Pinconning, Mich. , won the B-Main.

Summer Nationals rookie Will Vaught of Crane, Mo. , was involved in a spectacular accident on the third lap of the B-Main that left his car heavily damaged. The young driver flipped exiting turn two and gingerly climbed from his mangled machine.

Vaught, who entered the night ranked third in the points standings, suffered an apparent broken thumb and complained of sore ribs. But he used a provisional starting spot and took one lap behind the wheel of Mike Hammerle’s car.

The UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals moves to Lawrenceburg ( Ind. ) Speedway on Friday night (June 27). The event will bring the tour to the completely rebuilt and enlarged track, which is now a high-banked, three-eighths-mile oval.

**UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals Night 9: Shirley Passes Moyer On Final Lap At Sedalia For First Win Of ’08 Tour

SEDALIA , MO – June 24, 2008 – By Kellen Burns /DIRTcar Racing P.R. –

Brian Shirley sure does know how to make things exciting for the fans.

The 27-year-old driver from Chatham , Ill. , pulled off a dramatic victory on Tuesday night, passing Billy Moyer for the lead on the final circuit to win the 30-lap UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals A-Main at Sedalia State Fair Speedway.

“It was a really exciting night,” said Shirley, who registered his first victory of the 2008 Summer Nationals in the tour’s ninth event. “The last five laps I just hit my marks perfect.”

Competing in the first Summer Nationals event at the big, fast Sedalia half-mile oval since 1992, Shirley proved patience was a virtue after starting third. He rode for 29 laps on the bottom before making a last-lap pass of six-time Summer Nationals champion Moyer, pulling alongside the legend from Batesville , Ark. , through turns one and two and then surging ahead on the backstretch.

Shirley was very happy to finally break into RacingJunk.com Victory Lane – and gave credit to the “the people that help me,” including car owner Ed Petroff and his sponsors.

Shirley padded his Summer Nationals points lead with the $6,000 success. He unofficially leads defending champion Dennis Erb Jr. of Carpentersville , Ill. , who finished fourth on Tuesday night, by 29 points.

Moyer led laps 1-29 after starting second but settled for runner-up money.

“I think it was more tires just going away than anything,” said Moyer, who chose softer tires for the main event than Shirley. “The top was better down in (turns) one and two and I think the bottom was probably better in three and four, but I think we just had the wrong tires on.”

Former UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals Champion Don O’Neal of Martinsville , Ind. , registered a third-place finish.

“It was way too free into the corner,” O’Neal said of his machine. “I was lucky to hang on to third, that’s how bad I felt. But that’s a start with the way we’ve been the past two nights, not making the shows.”

Erb and the polesitting Jeep VanWormer of Pinconning, Mich. , completed the top five.

With 27 cars on hand, VanWormer turned the overall fastest lap of 19.742 seconds in time trials.

Heat winners were VanWormer, Moyer and Shirley, and Will Vaught of Crane, Mo. , topped the B-Main.

UMP DIRTcar Racing Weekly Update: 2008 Summer Nationals Has Already Been One For The Record Books

EVANSVILLE , IN – June 26, 2008 –

HOT COMPETITION: The 2008 UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals is just approaching its halfway point, but it has already been unlike any other in the tour’s 20-year history.

In fact, the opening two weeks of the grueling, month-long Super Late Model series have been one for the history books. With nine drivers making visits to RacingJunk.com Victory Lane through June 25, a new record for most different winners in the first 10 events of the Summer Nationals has been established.

For a series that has often seen one driver roll up some big win totals – guys like Billy Moyer of Batesville , Ark. , Scott Bloomquist of Mooresburg , Tenn. , Don O’Neal of Martinsville , Ind. , and Shannon Babb of Moweaqua , Ill. – the 2008 edition has boasted unprecedented competition. The only driver with multiple victories after 10 events is Darren Miller of Milledgeville , Ill. , who registered back-to-back wins on June 19 at I-57/I-64 Raceway in Mt. Vernon , Ill. , and June 20 at Farmer City ( Ill. ) Raceway.

The other eight Summer Nationals winners to date include Brad Neat of Dunnville , Ky. ; Wes Steidinger of Fairbury , Ill. ; defending champion Dennis Erb Jr. of Carpentersville , Ill. ; Terry English of Benton , Ky. ; Will Vaught of Crane, Mo., who recorded a career-first tour triumph on June 18 at Belle-Clair Speedway in Belleville, Ill.; Jeep VanWormer of Pinconning, Mich.; Brian Shirley of Chatham, Ill.; and Moyer.

This year’s run of different winners in the first 10 series races tops the previous standard of eight, set in both 1996 and 1997. The Summer Nationals that saw the fewest different victors in the first 10 shows was 1990, when only two drivers were triumphant – Bloomquist nine times, and Moyer once.

Car counts have also been extremely strong throughout this year’s UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals, with the average field numbering 39.1. The largest gathering was 50 cars for the June 20 event at Farmer City Raceway.

A total of 148 different drivers entered at least one of the first 10 Summer Nationals events. Eleven drivers had perfect attendance through 10 programs (Shirley, Erb, Vaught, Steidinger, VanWormer, Steve Sheppard Jr. of New Berlin , Ill. , Dewayne Kiefer of St. Genevieve, Mo., Jordan Bland of Campbellsville, Ky., Ryan Unzicker of El Paso, Ill., Tim Lance of Brimfield, Ill., and Jason McBride of Carbondale, Ill.) and six drivers had qualified for all 10 A-Mains (Shirley, Erb, Vaught, Steidinger, VanWormer and Sheppard).

NEW LEADER: Buoyed by the car-count bonus points he’s been collecting as a UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals regular, Wes Steidinger moved into the UMP DIRTcar Super Late Model national points lead following last weekend’s action.

The 25-year-old talent finished second in last year’s national points battle and is focused on grabbing the title in 2008.

Clifty , Ky. ’s Randle Sweeney, meanwhile, continued his torrid pace to remain atop the UMP DIRTcar Modified national points standings. He won features last weekend at Chandler ( Ind. ) Speedway and Soggy Bottom Raceway in Morgantown , Ky. , giving him a circuit-best 19 victories – including an amazing 16 wins in his last 19 starts.
