PPMS Returns To UFo Galaxy Boosting Total Point Funds To Over $41,000

(Mars, PA)The UFo Championship will once again land at the “Monster Half-Mile” at Pittsburgh’s Pennsylvania Motor Speedway in 2016. Miley Motorsports has scheduled a pair of UFo Super Late Model events at their metro-area supertrack. The “Herb Scott Championship” will take place on Saturday, June 11 while the “Red Miley Rumble” is scheduled for Saturday, August 27. This allows the 2016 potential point funds to climb over $41,000 if the full schedule is completed in addition to $440,000 in race payoffs.

PPMS has been the site of 18 UFo events since the inception of the tour. The wide, racey surface at PPMS has generated spectacular racing and wins from deep in the grid. The “Herb Scott Championship” will pay $3,000 to win. The “Red Miley Rumble” both will pay $3,053 to the winner in honor of Red. Both features are initially scheduled to run 35 laps in distance.

Past UFo winners at PPMS include Gregg Satterlee, Jared Miley, Keith Barbara, Davey Johnson, Brandon Burgoon, Michael Davis, Josh Richards, Mike Johnson, John Flinner, Mark Banal, John Mollick, Bart Hartman, Steve Baker, and Al Atallah. With the return of PPMS, all original operating tracks of the first year of the UFo Championship in 2008 are on the 2016 tour

The addition of the PPMS events has allowed a point fund increase. The UFo Super Late Model point fund has been revised and will now pay over $30,000 based on the current 22 race schedule. The UFo Super Late Model champion is slated to receive $7,000 if the full schedule is completed, with 8th place now receiving $2,000.

The 2016 point bonus fund will be fueled by long-time sponsors of the tour as well as new sponsorship. Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic, American Racer, Lias Tire speedshop and Precise Racing Products speedshop have renewed their sponsorships and have increased the UFo Championship point fund ever year under the current format since the tour’s inception. Ritchey Sandblasting of Woodbury, PA has come aboard as a new sponsor of the dual-late model division circuit. As always, the UFo Championship will pass on 100% of the sponsors’ contributions to the race teams in cash or awards.
