The quest for the ULMA championship gets under way in just over two weeks at the Lucas Oil Speedway in Wheatland, MO, on Saturday, March 31st, which is the first night drivers begin earning points towards the championship. With a total of 28 drivers already signed on as members and the prospect of several more signing up during the initial weeks of the season, the championship race is going to be exciting to watch all year long! Only drivers that join the association as members are eligible for ULMA sponsor point fund bonus money and contingency prizes at the affiliated tracks and special events. During the season, drivers can earn points at Callaway Raceway, Central Missouri Speedway (CMS), Lucas Oil Speedway and Valley Speedway or special designated events by keeping their overall 15 best points-earning nights of the year. After a driver’s initial 15 events are recorded they will begin replacing their worst point’s nights with improved performances, which should make for an exciting finish down the final stretch! The inaugural champion will be crowned at the ULMA banquet, which is in the early planning stages but set for October 20th in Sedalia, MO.

Official pre-entry forms are now being accepted for the Memorial Day Weekend Duel Showdown, which will be held at Valley Speedway and CMS, on Friday, May 25th and Saturday, May 26th. Bonus money and contingency awards will be handed out on night two at CMS to the overall top performers from the two nights of consecutive racing. Be sure to e-mail the association or visit the Website for more information.

The ULMA officially announces one rules clarification for the upcoming season. The clarified information is underlined in the following paragraph. CHASSIS SUSPENSION: No full frame chassis.
