PEVELY, Mo. (October 17) - A second consecutive night of non-stop speed and thrills on Friday at I-55 Raceway kept the momentum rolling in the inaugural UMP DIRTcar Roundup By MyRaceLife.com, with two of eight divisions crowning event champions.
Randy Korte, the 2006 UMP DIRTcar Racing Late Model champion from Highland, Ill., took the checkered flag in the Dirt Late Model feature to lock himself into Saturday's main event. Bobby Bittle, of Belleville, Ill., picked up the win in the UMP DIRTcar Modified feature on the high-banked 1/3-mile oval just south of St. Louis, earning a guaranteed spot in Saturday's main Modified event.
In all, it was a busy night on the track that eventually gave way to the "Party in Pevely" in the pits and campground that lasted well into the evening, especially near Randy LaJoie's setup on manufacturers' row:
UMP DIRTcar Late Models -- One night after an accident knocked him out of the feature, Randy Korte rebounded on Friday and led flag-to-flag, fending off Tim Manville, Jason Feger and Thursday winner Will Vaught to take the checkered flag. "I'm feeling pretty good about this car so I think we'll be in the hunt Saturday night," Korte said. "We've had a bad last month and a half. Just to finish a race and run up front, I'm happy about that. My guys worked their butts off last night and this morning. They got the car ready to go I want to thank all of them and my sponsors. If it wouldn't be for them I couldn't do this." … Heat race winners included the Racing Lawyer Denny Woodworth, Manville, Michael Kloos and Korte. Darrell Moser won the B-main.
