Northern Tier Inc ULMS Late Models Head To Tri City This SUNDAY
May 27, 2009
This Sunday night, the Northern Tier Inc. ULMS Late Models will make their second of three visits to Tri City Speedway in Franklin, Pennsylvania. The fans will be treated with a $11 ticket and witness a $2500 to win, 30 lap ULMS late model event. Titusville’s, Rob Blair will be looking to repeat his ULMS win from earlier this month at Tri City.
“The Razor”, Bob Close will lead the Northern Tier Inc ULMS late model contingent. Close holds a slim three point lead over, Waterford’s Dave Hess Jr. Close is coming off a three thousand dollar win this past weekend at Little Valley Speedway, while Hess had a pair of top ten finishes during the All Star Series Memorial Day weekend events. Brent Rhebergen has been fast all year and he sits third in points. The Clymer, NY driver has a pair of Emod wins the past few weekends and no doubt the all time Emod feature winner at Tri City will be looking to grab his first Northern Tier Inc. late model win. The man that won the last ULMS event was Cyclone, Pennsylvania’s, Jason Dupont. Dupont had a sure win taken away from him last weekend, but with a very popular win the week before at Arcade International Raceway, Dupont is using the momentum to over take Rhebergen or the third position in points. Mike Blose sits fifth in points a few points ahead of All Star Series point leader, Boom Briggs. Shinglehouse, PA driver Dave Norton Sr. sits currently in seventh in points ahead Jeff Hoffman, Mike Knight and Ed Carley. Read the rest of this entry »

Riddle and Larry Holbrook sat on the front row due as the heat winners redrew for the top six starting positions. Riddle jumped out in front immediately. Fourth place starter, Dave Defibaugh quickly grabbed second and it was rim riding Randy Hall getting the fans on their feet immediately as he swept into third as the field rounded turn two. The first yellow came out on lap two as TSMA second place point car, Jess Hartman came to a stop. On the restart again it was Riddle out gunning Defibaugh. Lap five would see Hall take the extreme low line of the Bullring and get under Defibaugh as Rick Aukland and Shawn Davis rounded out the top five. Hall would pull a slide job on Defibaugh in turn four to grab second as the 2009 Winter Alltel Allstar champion and UEMS point leader had his sights set on Riddle. With ten laps in the books, Hall closed in on Riddle as both drivers used the top and bottom grooves of the ultra fast 1/4 mile oval. The top ten were: Riddle, Hall, Defibaugh, Aukland, Tom Sigler,Shawn Davis, Phillip Jeffries, Kenny Merchant, Jacob Hawkins and Tony Barber. Read the rest of this entry »

The twenty lap $800 to win event for the Kinzua Water Service United Emod Series, saw Shawn Domhoff and Andre Layfield pace the twenty-four car field to the green. As the field rolled into turn one, third place starter and PPMS regular, JE Stalder spun in middle of turn one and two resulting in a sixteen of the twenty four starters to be involved. KWS UEMS point leader, Randy Hall was involved and went pitside with damage along with UEMS regular, Shawn Shingledecker, Tom Martineck and Jacob Hawkins. The restart saw the field shrunk to twenty starters and as the field rolled thru the first two turns and down the backstretch, the car of Stalder went airborne and barrell rolled down the backstretch nearly rolling out over the backstretch fence. The cars of Bob Damron, Kari Gasser, Kevin Miller and Jim Plance were all involved. During the red flag, Hall would return to the field and on the lead lap as no laps were yet completed.
