UARA-STARS HEADING TO ACE FOR BIG SHOW

UARA point leader Matt McCall is on a roll with four UARA wins, four Sunoco poles and three KLB Race Cars & Parts outside poles in 2009. This give McCall a UARA career ten wins and eleven Sunoco poles. He is bested by one man and that man is Jamey Caudill with a record twelve wins and sixteen Sunoco Poles to his credit. Caudill is also the second place point contender at this time. Caudill would like nothing better than to expand on his record and end the winning streak that McCall has been on.

The field is set with many other very talented drivers that want to crush McCalls winning streak as well. Former champ and last year’s Ace winner Jason York for one.

Alex Yontz who also has an impressive UARA stat record of four poles and seven wins is returning to the UARA-STARS after taking time off to run close to home. Yontz has always proved to be a serious contender.

Early entries also include Brandon McReynolds, Kyle Grissom, former UARA champion Lee Tissot, Scott Turlington, Coleman Pressley, Paddy Rodenbeck, Owen Kelly, Randy Hawkins, Rodney Cook.
Richard Boswell II, Robert Turner and Bobby Griffin to name a few.

2008 Rookie of the Year Darrell Wallace, Jr is returning to UARA action at Ace as well to put the pressure on his fellow STARS competitors. 2009 Rookie contenders Matthew Godley, Brennan Poole, Michael Rouse, John King II and Dylan Presnell to name a few will also be there to put the pressure on the veterans. These young men show race after race just how serious they can be. Poole, Godley, King & Presnell have all been rookie of the race once this year and Michael Rouse has received that award three times. It is Godley who is leading the rookie points at this time having had a season best finish of 3rd at Concord earlier in the season.

The UARA is having a fan party at Hooter’s exit 141 Thursday, August 6, 2009 beginning around 5 p.m.

Matt McCall Pads His UARA Point Lead Heading to Ace

Matt McCall is the only driver to win four UARA races this season and by doing so is padding his point lead over second place contender Jamey Caudill by 67 points. Rounding out the top five in points behind McCall and Caudill are Paddy Rodenbeck, Coleman Pressley and Owen Kelly.

With the season cresting the halfway point and heading down to the final seven events it is still any mans show. McCall thinks otherwise. He has been on a tear in the UARA this year and proved his ability at the Dwight Huffman Memorial race on the UARA’s off weekend as well. Rodenbeck also had a bright star shining at the Huffman Memorial.

The UARA 2009 race winners to date are McCall (4), Rodenbeck (2), Brandon McReynolds (1), Caudill (1) and Corey LaJoie (1).

2004 UARA Champion Jason York will be heading to Ace to show his muscle and give the 2009 regular UARA contenders a run for the money. York made his appearance at Ace for the 2008 UARA event there and took home the trophy. It is his intention to do that same thing again next week on August 7, 2009.

Dale Earnhardt, Jr. has two cars in the field. Richard Boswell II who has had an up and down season so far in 2009 hopes to make better on his 2008 run by overtaking York for the checker. Boswell ran an awesome race at Ace in 2008 bringing home a second place finish.

Boswell’s team mate Owen Kelly is holding his own with the UARA for 2009 and is tied for fourth place in points with young Coleman Pressley. Pressley is the son of NASCAR standout Robert Pressley.

Another force to reckon with is sixth place point contender Garrett Campbell who has had some awesome runs this season. Campbell has shown he has power under him and knows how to apply it.
