UMP Nationals Features - 159 Mods & Late Models at Eldora Speedway!

Rossburg, OH | Oct. 8, 2011 - One of the best races of the year! Jeep VanWormer and Jeff Leka closed out the 2011 Eldora Speedway and UMP (United Midwestern Promoters) seasons in grand style Saturday night with victories. VanWormer’s emotional win came on the heels on one of the most hotly contested Late Model events witnessed by the fans in many years; and his emotion in victory lane emphasized just that...

While the score sheets may reflect that VanWormer led all 40 laps around the high-banked one-half mile clay oval, that gives the race no justice. Not one of the 40 laps was easy, as the Pinconning, MI native had his hands full the for the entire distance that was slowed only one time.  FULL STORY
