Only One ULMA Track
Able to Run Last Weekend Due to Wet Weather!
Danny Lorton of Moberly, Missouri, drove to victory in one of the three hotly contested heat races. Other strong heat race finishes were posted by Chad Frewaldt, Kevin Coyne, Brett Rollert and Jason Estes. For the main event, the talent-filled lineup of drivers received a big wave of approval from the many fans in the stands as they prepared to set sail for 15 laps of competition. Of the six ULMA feature events contested at CMS this year, three of them have been caution free with the latest being Saturday night's main event. The blistering pace set by the drivers was a real treat for late model racing fans with battles for every position taking place throughout the field. Brett Rollert moved up from his fifth starting position and posted the best finish by a ULMA member driver when he crossed the line in third place. Rollert now finds himself in third position in the newly updated point standings. Chad Frewaldt had a strong run to finish fifth in the main event while other top ten runs included Estes in sixth and Lorton seventh. Current ULMA point's leader James Rutledge finished in eighth spot followed by Jeff Schlup in ninth with Kevin Coyne rounding out the top ten. The overall point's championship is starting to take shape as several drivers are nearing or have already passed the 10 starts threshold. Brett Wood, the leading Rookie of the Year candidate has made his way to second in the overall rundown with Rollert now up to third. Jon Binning holds down fourth just ahead of Chad Frewaldt in fifth. A complete listing of the current ULMA point standings appears at the end of this press release.
