Don’t miss this weekend (4-19-08) as the United Dirt Late Model Challenge Series invades East Alabama
Motor Speedway, one of Alabama’s fastest speed plants to continue the battle for the inaugural season
Championship. Series points leader Ivedent Lloyd is not expected to be there this weekend and that is
opening up the door for some fierce competition between 2007 Central Sheds Champion “Showtime”
Shan Smith who is only trailing Lloyd by 40 points but hot on Shan’s heals are “Hot Rod” Roger Crouse,
Shane Williams, Mark Whitener and Jackie Nosbisch who are all within 80 points of each other and within
120 points of Smith.
Leading the Rookie contingent is the #97 of Justin Choquette who through the first races of the season
has shown some real talent and driving ability when he lost a left front tire in the first race with 5 laps left
in his heat race and fought hard to finish in a transfer spot. He is trailed by Jeff Conyers in the rookie
field by 70 points. If it were not for bad luck in the first race where Jeff was knocked out of the race by an
accident on the first lap the points would be tighter still.
You can not count out the locals either as Richie "Rocketman" Stephens has 2 wins in a row, Terrance "
The Phenix City Assassin" Nowell is coming of a win last week and you can never write off Dana Eiland
who already has a win the season, and the 2007 Fastrak Champion William Thomas. This race promises
to be one of the best yet and will be one to remember!

Due to overwhelming support from our drivers, teams and fans the United Dirt Late Model Challenge
Series is announcing that the May 3rd race at North Florida Speedway will be the "North Florida State
Championship". drivers representing the 3 states the series runs in and the 3 types of late models the
series centers around will be racing for $3000 to win and $300 to start.
"We have been talking this over for a while and really wanted to bring in something for the drivers to let
them know we appreciate them. A race that pays $3000 looks good but if it only pays $50 to start, or
worse only pays out the top 10 positions (which some races do) it is only the racers that get hurt. With
the cost of racing and everything else getting higher we wanted to do something for the drivers that had
an off night and did not finish in the top 10. When we started the series we wanted last place in the
feature to double the money that the driver paid to enter which we accomplished. We have already
added money from second to last in the Championship points fund and then from fifth to last in the races
since we came up with the payout schedule and that was even before we had races scheduled. We are
continually working to get more sponsors in line for the races to continue to raise the payouts and will
continue to do so until the series racers can afford to race without worrying about the money that they
are loosing racing. This races is the first this year that is stepping into the arena of Super Late Model
payouts for local racers and there will be more to come." Kip Brandel Director of Competition.

Due to overwhelming support from our drivers, teams and fans the United Dirt Late Model Challenge
Series is announcing that the May 3rd race at North Florida Speedway will be the "North Florida State
Championship". drivers representing the 3 states the series runs in and the 3 types of late models the
series centers around will be racing for $3000 to win and $300 to start.
"We have been talking this over for a while and really wanted to bring in something for the drivers to let
them know we appreciate them. A race that pays $3000 looks good but if it only pays $50 to start, or
worse only pays out the top 10 positions (which some races do) it is only the racers that get hurt. With
the cost of racing and everything else getting higher we wanted to do something for the drivers that had
an off night and did not finish in the top 10. When we started the series we wanted last place in the
feature to double the money that the driver paid to enter which we accomplished. We have already
added money from second to last in the Championship points fund and then from fifth to last in the races
since we came up with the payout schedule and that was even before we had races scheduled. We are
