In
PENNational Action
PITTSBURGH, PA — Get ready for some hot July racing action as Pittsburgh’s Pennsylvania Motor Speedway presents the Diehl of Robinson PENNational this Saturday, July 13th. The three division event will showcase the Diehl of Robinson Super Late Model competitors battling the ULMS Late Model invaders in a 30 lap main event paying $3,000.00 to win. The UEMS E-Mod Series will make their first visit of the season and the Sweeney RUSH Pro-Late Model Speedweek Finale will complete the evening’s racing action.
“The weather for Saturday is looking great and we are extremely excited about the 2013 PENNational,” stated Speedway Owner Matt Miley. “The ULMS competitors from northern PA, Ohio and New York will definitely provide the PPMS regulars with some staunch competition. And when you add the UEMS and RUSH Series’ to the racing card this is definitely one show that area race fans will want to attend.”
PPMS regular Davey Johnson scored a ULMS victory in April when the Series visited the Sharon Speedway and will be one of the favorites to turn back the challenges of the ULMS invaders this weekend. Current divisional points leader Michael Norris was victorious a few weeks ago as he dominated the Herb Scott Memorial and the Sarver, PA driver is also expected to contend for this week’s top prize. Other weekly competitors who will challenge for the win include last week’s feature winner Jared Miley, Brandon Burgoon, Alex Ferree, Keith Barbara, Jim Stephans, Daryl Charlier and Steve Baker.
The ULMS contingent will be led to “Dirt’s Monster Half Mile” by their current points leader Mike Knight. Knight has two ULMS victories thus far as he scored wins at the Sharon Speedway and McKean County Speedway in June. In addition, former WoO Rookie of the Year Russell King is currently second in the ULMS standings. King has yet to score a victory in ULMS action but he did score a win several weeks ago in the Uncle Sam 30 at Lernerville Speedway as part of the Firecracker event. Other ULMS drivers expected to compete this weekend include Ron Davies, Boom Briggs and Matt Urban.
The UEMS E-Mods will make their first of two scheduled appearances at PPMS this weekend. Current Series’ points leader Steve Dixon will certainly be looking to get his first ever victory at the Imperial, PA oval. Vic Vena, Randy Hall, Brett Rhebergen and Joel Watson round out the top five in the UEMS points and will also be looking to claim the $1,000 top prize. Other E-Mod competitors who will be vying for the win include Jonathan and Evan Taylor, Carl McKinney, J.E. Stalder, Bruce Takach and Deana Groves.
