WARRENSBURG, MO. (Feb. 6, 2007) - Lucas Oil Speedway has officially become the latest track to adopt the United Late Model Association (ULMA) rules package for weekly late model racing for the 2007 season. The track, affectionately known as the “Diamond of Dirt Tracks,” is located in the small southwest Missouri town of Wheatland. The speedway is a 3/8th mile, semi-banked clay oval featuring stadium-style seating, MUSCO Stadium lighting, which is used for camera-ready news and TV coverage and an award-winning Bose speaker audio system. The track features grandstand seating on both the front and back sides and also includes 21 luxury VIP suites. Weekly races are held at the speedway on Saturday nights. The state-of-the-art facility is freshly off an exciting and successful season under its new layout after going through a major overhaul and expansion.

Warsaw, Missouri’s Kevin Kaiser, the defending weekly racing late model champion at Lucas Oil Speedway, is expected to return this year to defend his crown. Kaiser is a member of ULMA and will be one of several drivers trying to become the inaugural ULMA Champion. The association is excited to have Lucas Oil Speedway as one of its business partners and is looking forward to an action-packed racing season. With this latest addition to the ULMA family of tracks, the association is now affiliated with five racing facilities covering a vast area of central, west central and southwest Missouri. We look forward to working with our partner tracks and their employees and to meeting the many drivers, fans and crews who will take part in our historic first year!

The next opportunity for drivers to join ULMA and become eligible to chase the ULMA Point’s Crown will take place this Saturday, February 10th at 1 p.m. at the association’s meeting, at the Ramada Inn located at 3501 West 50 Hwy, near Wal-Mart. Driver membership fees for 2007 are $50. Car owners, crewmen, and fans are also welcome to become members of ULMA. There are several important agenda items to be discussed and the association would like to invite everyone to attend whether they are paying members or not.

Recently, ULMA unveiled its new logo on its Website at www.ulmaracing.com . The logo’s appearance represents ULMA’s desire to keep up with the mainstream while at the same time remembering why the association was formed in the first place. The Website also has a new and exciting look and now features a forum board where visitors can post their thoughts and stay in contact with the ULMA board of directors and fellow forum board members. Don’t forget to bookmark the Website and check back frequently for current news and information. We look forward to seeing everyone at the meeting this Saturday!

Don’t get left behind in the dust … getting on board with ULMA is a must!
