PEVELY, Mo. (October 16) - The opening night of the inaugural UMP DIRTcar Roundup By MyRaceLife.com Thursday featured eight divisions of action, with cars racing three- and four-wide on high-banked I-55 Raceway.
The big winners of the night were Steve Arpin, who captured the Modified feature, and Will Vaught, the Super Late Model winner. The top eight finishers in those A-main events are locked into Saturday night's huge finale.
Missouri crowd favorite Will Vaught locked his car into the bottom groove on Thursday night and powered his way to the checkered flag in the final 20-lap race of the opening day of action. Jason Feger and Billy Faust tried to run him down, but Vaught had the line and the momentum. In a race featuring four of the Top 20 in the UMP DIRTcar National Standings, Vaught, who was ranked 20th nationally, got the best of Feger (3rd nationally), Brian Shirley (5th nationally), Michael Koos (7th nationally) and Randy Korte (18th nationally). With Vaught, Feger and Faust leading the way to the checkered flag, Danny Haynes and Shirley rounded out the top five as Jeff Johns, Kyle Steffens and Jeff Beyers locked themselves into Saturday's feature.
"I brought two cars tonight and one has been wrecked and I'm not sure if we've got it straightened out so we're going to run it Friday night now that we're locked in," said Vaught, of Crane, Mo. "I think Billy got a run on me in 1 and 2 and just got into the back of me a little but I was able to keep it out front."
