PADUCAH, Ky. (May 19) - The sixth annual UMP Late Model Tri-Track Challenge racing weekend has garnered interest from fans and drivers alike. This year the Tri-Track Challenge racers will start off the weekend at Paducah International Raceway on Friday night, then head to I-55 Raceway in Pevely, MO on Saturday night, and then try to conquer the 1/5 mile oval at Macon Speedway. This huge racing weekend will include three nights of racing at three different tracks in three different states, all three events paying $6,000 to the feature winner. Interest is high among fans and competitors to see if one of last year's winners can repeat and possibly bring home $28,000!
This is the sixth year of the much anticipated racing weekend. Last year's winners were Brian Shirley, Kevin Cole and Dennis Erb. It gives the drivers a chance at a total of $28,000 - each feature event pays $6,000 to win plus, as an extra incentive, the promoters have teamed together and offered a $10,000 bonus/challenge if one driver can win two out of three of the races.
For more information about each race please call Paducah International Raceway, which will host the opening Tri-Track challenge event on Friday, May 30th, at (270) 898-7469
Camping is available at each track.
