Pevely, MO (October 20, 2007) The 3rd Annual Ken Schrader Modified Challenge attracted ninety-eight U.M.P. DIRTcar Modifieds drivers from around the Midwest and featured some great racing action. Jeff Leka of Buffalo, Illinois, who finished second in the U.M.P. DIRTcar Modified National Point Standings in 2007, led the final thirty-two laps and claimed the victory. Leka had to change his car number before the event got started because the track didn't allow duplicate numbers. Leka added a zero behind his familiar number three and over the letter L, changing his number to 30 instead of 3L. As fate would have it, this would become Leka's 30th victory in 2007.
