Pevely, MO (October 20, 2007) The 3rd Annual Ken Schrader Modified Challenge attracted ninety-eight U.M.P. DIRTcar Modifieds drivers from around the Midwest and featured some great racing action. Jeff Leka of Buffalo, Illinois, who finished second in the U.M.P. DIRTcar Modified National Point Standings in 2007, led the final thirty-two laps and claimed the victory. Leka had to change his car number before the event got started because the track didn't allow duplicate numbers. Leka added a zero behind his familiar number three and over the letter L, changing his number to 30 instead of 3L. As fate would have it, this would become Leka's 30th victory in 2007.

Leka started on the pole for the main event, but it was NASCAR driver Kenny Wallace taking the lead at the drop of the green flag from the outside of the front row. Wallace kept his familiar St. Louis Cardinals sponsored #36 Impressive Race Cars chassis out front until he was slowed on lap eight with a flat right rear tire. Leka took over the top spot and kept his Hovis Racing Engines, REAL Wheels, Kirkland Carpet, BUDDA Bert Transmissions, Bypass Autobody, HPR Cars sponsored machine out front the rest of the distance. Leka's biggest challenge came from Scott Weber of Festus, Missouri. Weber was able to close in on Leka in lapped traffic as the race as the race was winding down. However, just as Weber was preparing a bid for the lead, his machine suffered a drive-shaft failure with just three laps remaining. That turned second place over to Jared Landers of Benton, Arkansas. Landers would bring his mount across the line just in front of Denny Schwartz to earn a second place finish. Denny Schwartz, the 2007 U.M.P. DIRTcar Modified National Champion, would finish in the third spot. Randle Sweeney of Clifty, Kentucky would fourth place and Bobby Bittle, the 2007 I-55 Raceway Track Champion from Smithton, Illinois, would round out the top five.

Track crews reworked the racetrack just before the feature event, providing a very fast and competitive surface. Leka commented in victory lane that it was the fastest forty laps he had ever raced. Leka was joined in victory lane by chassis builder Bob Pierce of Bob Pierce Race Cars. Kenny Wallace was just wanting a few more laps. He had raced all the way back to eighth place when the checkered flag flew.

I-55 Raceway would like to thank Shop 'n Save grocery stores for sponsoring this great event along with the Missouri/Illinois Dodge Dealers. This event raised a lot of money for Special Olympics.

Pevely, MO (September 30, 2007) The Allied Auto Racing Association presents the 6th Annual Missouri/Illinois Dodge Dealers "Bud Pohle Memorial" Sportsman Fall Dirt Nationals at I-55 Raceway in Pevely, MO on Saturday, October 6th. The Sportsman main event winner could pocket as much as $9,000 as the event presents a unique payout format. First place in the main event will pay $2,600. However, every single lap of the 50 lap event will pay bonus money to the leader with a minimum of $100 for every lap lead. Certain special laps will pay more, up to $500 to lead a certain lap. Making the total just over $9,000 to win if a driver leads all fifty laps. Every car earning a starting spot in the A-Main is guaranteed a minimum of $150.

This is the sixth year for this event and the purse is 100% guaranteed.

The Sportsman will also have a Hoosier Tire Champions Challenge in which all 2007 Sportsman Track Champions and previous Fall Nationals Champions will race for $200 to win.

Two other classes will also be part of the Fall Nationals, the Pure Stock division (bomber, street stock type cars) and the Pro 4 Stocks (hornet, 4 cylinder factory stock type cars). SKI Soda is the title sponsor for the Pure Stock class, which a driver can earn up to $1,750 for the victory with lap money in the twenty lap main event. The Pro 4 Stocks winner can earn up to $800 for a victory with lap money in their twenty lap main event.

One lucky fan will go home with $500 in the LINE-X of Jefferson County Fan Challenge. Fans names will be drawn and assigned to each driver starting the Sportsman A-Main and whoever's driver wins, gets the $500.

The pit gate will open at 10am on Saturday with tech beginning at 11am. All cars must go through tech before they will be allowed to compete. The grandstand gate will open at 3pm. The pill draw will close and the driver's meeting will begin at 4pm. Hotlaps will take to the track at 4:15pm and racing will begin at 5pm.

Clint Smith in victory lane after winning the
$10,000 World of Outlaw Late Model main event at I-55 Raceway!

Pevely, MO (September 15, 2007) What do you get when you have a cool, crisp Missouri evening, spectacular track preperation, a pit area packed with 133 racecars, and a standing room only crowd? Answer: The 25th Annual Pepsi Nationals at I-55 Raceway that will have people talking for a long time!

The World of Outlaw Late Model Series combined with the UMP DIRTcar Late Models were the headline event. Thirty-nine drivers from twelve different states signed in to compete for the $10,000 top prize. Steve Francis got the night started by setting fast time in qualifying with a lap of 12.377 seconds around the 1/3 mile high bank oval for an average lap speed of 96.857 miles per hour.

Josh Richards claimed the first of four qualifying heat races as he topped Steve Francis, Chub Frank and Billy Moyer. The second heat race was won by Randy Korte over Jimmy Mars, Brian Shirley and Ron McQuerry. The third heat race went to Clint Smith as he topped Shannon Babb, Matt Miller and Will Vaught. The fourth and final heat was won by Brian Birkhofer over Darrell Lanigan, Shane Clanton and Rick Eckert.

The two last chance consolation races were won by Michael Kloos and Brady Smith.

Local favorite Randy Korte of Highland, Illinois started on the pole for the main event, but it was fast qualifier Steve Francis that jumped out to the lead at the drop of the green flag from the outside front row. Steve Francis' lead was short lived as Randy Korte would move past Steve Francis after just a few laps and set a blistering pace. Clint Smith would soon work his way past Steve Francis to move into the second position. Clint Smith would chase Randy Korte for the next twenty laps as Chub Frank and Shannon Babb began working their way towards the front. With about fifteen laps to go, Smith moved past Randy Korte to take the lead. Clint Smith would open up a fairly comfortable margin over Korte until the caution flew with just three laps remaining. On the restart, Shannon Babb found a very fast line and went front fifth to second in one lap. Shannon Babb was able to pull along side Clint Smith for the lead as they battled on the final lap. But Clint Smith powered through turns three and four to hold off Shannon Babb and earn the victory. Randy Korte crossed the line just a half-car length behind Shannon Babb to finish third. Chub Frank would finish in the fourth spot with Steve Francis rounding out the top five.

A stellar field of fifty UMP DIRTcar Modifieds were on hand to battle for the $1,000 top prize. It was Bobby Martintoni of Livingston, Illinois putting on a dominating performance. Martintoni led all thirty laps of the main event enroute to the victory. The action was all behind him as no less than five cars battled and swapped around the second position. Ray Walsh charged through the field to finish in the second position after starting near mid pack. Walsh put on a great show as he used the high side to move up through the field. Matt Mevert crossed the line in third with Scott Weber finishing fourth and the 2007 I-55 Raceway modified track champion, Bobby Bittle finished fifth.

Robbie Eilers of Highland, Illinois made a spectacular late race charge to earn the victory in the UMP DIRTcar Sportsman division. Nathan Schmitt led the early laps before 2007 I-55 Raceway sportsman track champion Troy Naeger took over the lead. Naeger led until the closing laps when Eilers found a fast line around the top to take over the lead. Eilers went on to lead the final two laps and earn the victory. Naeger crossed the line second with Jimmy Cummins taking third. Schmitt took fourth with Paul Bauman rounding out the top five.

More Midwest Glory: Clint Smith Captures Dramatic World of Outlaws Late Model Series ‘Pepsi Nationals’ At I-55 Raceway

 

PEVELY, MO – Sept. 15, 2007 – Clint Smith has turned the Midwest into his second home this season.

 

With a dramatic victory in Saturday night’s 25th annual ‘Pepsi Nationals’ at I-55 Raceway, the Southern gentleman put himself squarely in the headlines of another World of Outlaws Late Model Series trip to middle America.

 

Smith, 42, of Senoia, Ga., earned $10,225 for his fourth WoO LMS triumph of 2007 – all of which have come in the Midwest. He has won twice in Missouri (I-55 and Lebanon I-44 Speedway) and once in Indiana (Kamp Motor Speedway) and Kansas (Belleville High Banks).

 

“It’s fun to win in some new territory,” said Smith, whose road victories this season have helped increase his popularity away from his native Southeast. “We’ve won in three different states for the first time this year, and we’re proud of that.”

 

Smith’s latest victory was easily his most difficult. He had to outduel a pair of 2006 UMP DIRTcar Racing champions – Summernationals titlist Shannon Babb of Moweaqua, Ill., and national champ Randy Korte of Highland, Ill. – in a rousing shootout over the race’s final three laps to preserve his 10th career WoO LMS win.

 

Smith never relinquished the lead after driving his J&J Steel/Cliburn Tank Lines GRT car by Korte for the position on lap 23, but both Babb and Korte made aggressive bids to overtake Smith following the second and final caution flag of the A-Main, on lap 47.

 

Babb, 33, used the extreme high side of the one-third-mile to slide from fourth to second after the final restart, but he fell short in his attempt to steal the win from Smith. The driver of Billy Moyer Sr.’s Car City Rayburn mount crossed the finish line 0.702 of a second behind Smith.

 

The 42-year-old Korte, who led the first circuit and laps 9-22 after starting from the pole position, settled for third in his TMCI Transportation Rocket.

 

Completing the top five was Chub Frank of Bear Lake, Pa., in his Lester Buildings Rocket and WoO LMS points leader Steve Francis of Ashland, Ky., who started from the outside pole and led laps 2-8 in his Valvoline Rocket.

 

Smith, who started third, used one of the slight imperfections he discovered in the surface of NASCAR star Ken Schrader’s track to assert control over the field.

 

“There was a little hole in (turns) three and four where I was able to get my biggest advantage,” said Smith, whose only previous start at I-55 Raceway was a 16th-place finish in the 2005 ‘Pepsi Nationals’ sanctioned by the WoO LMS. “If I could charge it hard and catch it just right with the right-side tires, it would ‘scotch’ my car.

 

“Korte and a couple other guys were missing that hole – or they just weren’t seeing it – so they’d drift all the way to the top (of the turns) and lose momentum. But I could hit it and turn to the bottom off of four and just cook the front straightaway.

 

“That was probably the difference all night – I could get my car to turn in the center of the corner and come off in the wet really full throttle. Even off turn two I was really good; that’s where I could set ‘em up to make a pass in three and four.”

 

Smith wasn’t happy to see the caution flag fly on lap 47, however.

 

“I knew a couple of guys behind me, like Babb (who restarted fourth), had 20s (tires) on,” said Smith, referring to the softer compound of the UMP DIRTcar Racing Hoosier 20/40 tire rule, which was in place for Saturday night’s event. “I knew they were gonna fire pretty good – and they did.”

 

Smith, who ran the harder 40-compound rubber, saw Korte duck underneath him a couple times following the restart. And on the final circuit he repelled a bonsai charge by Babb, who charged around the outside of Korte for second off turn two on the final lap and then attempted to slip by Smith at the other end of the high-banked oval.

 

“I was running the middle the whole time, but I probably went in a little too high for (Babb) the last lap so he didn’t know where I was going,” Smith said when asked how he preserved his victory. “Then I cut to the bottom and got my full gas off the corner (to the checkered flag) – and ain’t nobody gonna pull you when you leave at full throttle with the motors we have today.

 

“That RaceTek in the car, it’s one of his 441s, and it’s a killer. We knew if we could get it hooked up, ain’t nobody gonna pass us at full throttle.”

 

The victory broke Smith out of a modest slump on the WoO LMS. He had been winless on the tour since July 3 at Lebanon I-44 Speedway – a stretch of nine races during which his points deficit to Francis ballooned from 34 to 96.

 

“We got back a little in the points, so we tried some different setups and kinda got off our program,” said Smith, who sits third in the WoO LMS points standings. “Tonight we pretty much got back to square one.

 

“Tonight we raced to win, because the points are kinda getting out of hand. Unless Francis and Chub have the same trouble I had – I fell out of three key races and it cost me over a hundred points – they pretty much have the top two spots (in the standings) locked up. I’m just trying to get third-place locked down, that way I can race free towards the first two spots.

 

“I’d like to work it down to within 50 points for the last two races,” Smith added when asked about his title hopes. “Then we’d have a mathematical chance to win the points (in the season-ending ‘Outlaws World Finals’ on Nov. 1-3 at The Dirt Track @ Lowe’s Motor Speedway in Concord, N.C.).”

 

Babb, who started eighth, nearly pulled off a memorable high-side run to victory after the final caution flag.

 

“The caution just fell at the right time for me,” said Babb. “I was on soft tires, so my car fired real good. I thought I might have a shot (at winning) by running the top.

 

“The top was there all along, but it was like messing with fire. You can’t run more than two or three laps in a row real good, but when you’ve got a chance (late in the race) you just give it all you got.”

 

Babb was virtually on Smith’s rear bumper heading down the backstretch for the final time, but his momentum was slowed by Smith’s race-savvy move.

 

“I didn’t know what he was gonna do on that last corner,” Babb said of Smith. “I followed him down the backstraightaway and he was all the way out against the fence, so I thought he was gonna stay up there. But then he dove all the way down to the bottom, and I couldn’t go under him.

 

“I think I should’ve just stayed up there (in the top groove) and followed him around (three and four). If I stayed behind him, I might’ve had a better shot at it.”

 

Korte, who won four of his six features this season at I-55 during the month of August, ran the same tire combination (hard right-rear, three softs) as Smith but didn’t quite match Smith’s setup.

 

“Clint was just a little better than us,” said Korte, who earned $500 in WoO LMS ‘Bonus Bucks’ for being the highest-finishing driver who wasn’t ranked among the top 12 in tour points and hasn’t won a WoO feature. “I was kinda frustrated because I should’ve run second, but Shannon pulled that off there on the outside at the end to get by us.

 

“It would’ve been awesome to win tonight. I’ve won this (‘Pepsi Nationals’) deal before, and it’s always real nice to win at home – but it would have been unbelievable to win against these (WoO LMS) guys.

 

“They knew I was here, though, and that’s the main thing.”

 

Frank advanced from the ninth starting spot to finish fourth, but he was confident he left a little bit of speed on the table.

 

“I was soft on tires and I was trying to save ‘em,” said Frank. “I didn’t have a scoreboard to look at to know what lap it was, so I waited too long to make a move.

 

“I should’ve just rolled ‘em (the leaders) on the outside earlier. My car was better than Babb’s up there, so I knew I could roll the top. I almost ran into the back of Korte and Babb on the last lap when I tried running up there.”

 

Coming off his second win in his last three WoO LMS starts the previous night at Paducah (Ky.) International Speedway, Francis was a solid pre-race favorite. But he only led seven early laps before beginning to fade.

 

“The racetrack was a little faster than we thought it would be, and it caught us a little off guard,” said Francis, who slipped as far back as sixth before rallying to snare a top-five finish. “I thought it was gonna be a lot slicker than it got in the feature. It kept brown strips in it and you could hit the strips (for traction), but we were so tight we’d drive right out of ‘em.

 

“It was a good night, though. We got a top-five and only finished one spot behind Chub (who trails Francis by 58 points), so we’ll take it.”

 

Finishing in positions 6-10 was 16th-starter Rick Eckert of York, Pa., who made most of his moves forward during the race’s second half; Billy Moyer of Batesville, Ark., who picked up two spots after the final restart; Shane Clanton of Locust Grove, Ga.; Brian Birkhofer of Muscatine, Iowa; and WoO LMS Rookie of the Year candidate Brian Shirley of Chatham, Ill., who was surprisingly quiet at a track where he’s enjoyed more success than anywhere else in his young career.

 

Darrell Lanigan of Union, Ky., rallied to finish 11th after pitting to change a right-rear flat tire that caused him to bring out a caution flag on lap 10.

 

A field of 39 cars comprised the event, which was run on a crisp, cool night that ushered in the fall season.

 

Francis earned a $100 bonus for capturing his third National Interstate Insurance Fast Time Award of the season. He turned a lap of 12.377 seconds – just under three-tenths of a second off Billy Moyer’s track record established earlier this year.

 

Heat winners were Richards, Korte, Clint Smith and Birkhofer, and the B-Mains were captured by Michael Kloos of Trenton, Ill., and Brady Smith of Solon Springs, Wis.

 

The WoO LMS concludes its three-race Midwest swing on Sunday night (Sept. 16) at La Salle (Ill.) Speedway, where Bob Sargent’s Track Enterprises, Inc. will present the 16th annual ‘Best Western Illinois Fall Nationals.’ The 40-lap A-Main will pay $7,000 to win.
