Pevely, MO (July 16th, 2011) TIm Manville outdueled Mark Voigt and Mark Miner to claim his second UMP DIRTcar Late Model feature win of 2011 at I-55 Raceway! Manville, Voigt and Miner battled for the lead the entire twenty-five laps that went green to checkered without a caution. Manville used the highside to pace the pack while Voigt stayed right in his tracks and Miner worked the low side. As the trio got into lapped traffic, they really started dicing around for the lead, often going three-wide as they battled for the top spot. The three reach heavy lapped traffic with three laps remaining, allowing Jeff Johns to make it a four car battle for the lead. Manville would work the traffic flawlessly and would get the win. Voigt would just edge Miner for the second spot while Johns finished fourth behind Miner. Randy Korte rounded out the top five.

By Joshua Joiner – PEVELY, Mo. (July 2) – A month ago, Billy Moyer was so slow in a Northern Allstars Late Model Series event at I-55 Raceway that race winner Brandon Sheppard nearly lapped him. Saturday night the Hall of Famer from Batesville, Ark., returned with vengeance to the St. Louis-area racetrack and found sweet redemption in the form of a $10,000 victory in the 11th leg of the 25-race UMP DIRTcar Summernationals.

Pevely, MO (June 11th, 2011) Tim Manville left I-55 Raceway highly disappointed after basically giving away a victory in the UMP DIRTcar Late Model feature event. Manville would battle lap after lap with Rickey Frankel for the first sixteen laps of the feature, the two swapping the lead back and fourth the entire time. Then Manville took control and pulled away to a comfortable lead and appeared to be on his way to relatively easy victory. Then disaster struck. As Manville raced through turn four coming for the white flag, he would spin all on his own. Manville would have to go to the tail of the field on the restart. That would give Rickey Frankel the lead on the restart, with Mark Voigt restarting in the second spot. Voigt, who had struggled early on in the feature, slipping back as far as fourth after starting on the outside of the front row, knew his tires and setup were perfect for the two lap shootout to the finish. On the restart, Voigt wasted little time as he shot past Frankel for the lead through turns one and two and proceeded to pull away and take a easy win. Frankel would get the second spot. Tim Ratajczyk had a great run as well and finished in the third position. Jeff Johns would claim fourth with Dewayne Kiefer coming home fifth.
