Here is the story by SMASH


The "Real Deal" Don O'Neal rolled into Kankakee tonight and left with his pockets a little heavier to the tune of $10,000.00! O'Neal displayed total domination tonight in the A-1 Auto Salvage, Allstar Automotive, Living Room Center, Blackwell Trucking, O'Neal Wood Products C.J. Rayburn chassied, Jay Dickens Engines Hoosier by Smash #71.

Starting in the fifth slot, O'Neal made short order of moving to the front displaying unbelievable power as he took the lead on Lap #3 and was never again headed, lapping up to 8th place.

Following O'Neal to the stripe were Birkhofer, Babb, Erb, English, Miller, Drake, Whiseant, Izzo, Jr., Weaver, Gill, Collins, Johnson, Melvin, Allgaier, Steidinger, Hedrick, Rhyne, Loomis, Shirley, Pohlman, Korte and James.

The evening began with Darren Miller recording the fastest qualifying lap with a time of 13.799, besting the 40 cars in attendance.

The dash was captured by Brian Birkhofer over Greg Johnson, Miller, Terry English, O'Neal, Ted Loomis, Randy Korte, Dennis Erb and Rodney Melvin.

The heat races were won by Korte over Justin Allgaier and John Gill, Shannon Babb over Erb and Brian Shirley, Tony Izzo, Jr. over Rodney Melvin and Matt Rhyne, and Kevin Weaver over Robert Pohlman and Duke Whiseant.

The consis were won by Billy Drake over Wes Steidinger and Brian Collins over Scott James.

In the first heat local hotshoe Frank Reaber took a nasty flip as he exited turn 1 and got out of shape. The car was a total loss but Frank was uninjured THANK GOD!

Tomorrow night the Summer Nationals moves to the American Legion FAIRBURY SPEEDWAY for event #6 and a $10,000.00 paycheck awaits the winner.

The track can be reached for information by calling 815-692-3222 or visiting them on the web at WWW.FAIRBURYSPEEDWAY.COM.

Official sponsors of the UMP Summer Nationals are Hoosier Tire Midwest, Hoosier Racing Tire, Intercomp Scales, C.J. Rayburn Race Cars and Bert Transmissions.
 
I think English will finish in the top 3 in points, but the way it looks Don O'Nell will will the summernationals, but still a lot of racing left.

U.M.P. Summer Nationals Results - Clay County Speedway 6/29/04!

By Terry Young

The Moweaqua Missile Shannon Babb visited victory lane on Tuesday night in the 40 lap A-Main event at the Clay County SPeedway in Flora, Illinois. The event was the 9th scheduled event of the 26 night tour that marks the 2004 edition of the UMP Summer Nationals.

Babb claimed the $6,000.00 payday driving a C.J. Rayburn chassis with power supplied by Pro Power Engines. He is sponsored by CAR CITY, Watters Autoland, Platinum Motors, Arkansas Motors, Weld Wheels, J&J Steel, Red Line Oil, Out-Pace Products, Oval Craft and Hoosier Racing Tire with Hoosier's by Smash.

At the drop of the green over the field for the 40 lap A-Main, Don O'Neal who has dominated this years edition of the summer nationals, appeared to be strong and jumped to an early lead from his outside front row starting berth. O'Neal would lead the first 11 laps with Babb passing for the lead as the duo exited turn four. Babb would never be headed the remainder of the race despite several near mishaps when the leaders encountered lapped traffic.

On lap 22 as Babb was attempting to pass Kyle Monroe on the bottom, on a track that was taking rubber, Babb got sideways and nearly spun, but had a big enough lead to overcome any challenges from O'Neal.

Following Babb at the stripe were O'Neal, Melvin, Johnson, Billy Faust, Korte, Erb, English, Weaver and Martin to complete the top 10.

Babb bested the 27 car field in qualifying, recording a time of 16.299.

The dash was won by Billy Faust over Don O'Neal, Babb, Rodney Melvin, Randy Korte, frankie Martin, Chris Carlson, Joe Morris and Terry English.

Don O'Neal of Martinsville, Indiana rolled out a brand new car for tonights 40 lap main event at Paducak International Raceway and poicked up right where he left off with the old car... going to victory lane and picking up a $10,000 winners check to go with his 6th UMP Summer Nationals A-Main win. Amazingly, O'Neal has amassed a 50% winners record in the mini-tour thus far and has earned over $56,000.00.

O'Neal is sponsored by O'Neal Wood Products, The Living Room Center, ALLSTAR Automotive, A-1 Salvage and drives a C.J. Rayburn chassis with horsepower from JAY DICKENS and traction from HOOSIER by Smash.

Terry English looked strong in the opening laps and appeared he may be able to stop the rampage that has been displayed by O'Neal over the tour. But O'Neal would overtake English on the 20th lap off of turn 4, only to see English slide back past entering turn 1. O'Neal would slide English a volley off of two to get back to the point and was never headed again after that.

Following the duo at the stripe was Shannon Babb with yet another top 3 finish. Babb has not finished worse than third in an A-Main event yet during the series when he has been running at the end.

Rounding out the top 10 were Scott James, Billy Moyer, Darren Miller, Tait Davenport, Rodney Melvin, Chris Carlson and Kevin Weaver.

Thanks to Racenut for the following story


Vermilion County Speedway

Danville, IL

July 4, 2004

The Don O'Neal victory tour continued to roll on with another victory Sunday night at Vermilion County Speedway. Rodney Melvin led the first 15 laps, giving way to Shannon Babb, then Babb got passed by O'Neal for the lead on lap 26. Babb and O'Neal worked their way through traffic, as only 6 of the 15 finishers were still on the lead lap. Babb never gave up the chase, and numerous times would pull alongside O'Neal, but just could not get past him.

The time trials had O'Neal within a tenth of a second of the track record for fast time of the 37 qualifiers. The dash went to Rodney Melvin with Terry English, Scott James, Shannon Babb, Roger Long, O'Neal, Randy Korte, Eric Smith and Steve Sheppard Jr rounding out the field. Heats went to Richie the Hitman Hedrick over Randy Korte, Dennis Erb Jr over Kyle Logue, and Kevin Weaver over Jr Shickel. Semis went to Eric Smith over Don Hammer, and to Jamie Zidar over Jammie Wilson with only the winners advancing. Justin Allgaier was added as a provisional, and the field was set.

U.M.P. Summernationals Reaches Halfway Point!


Press Release

EVANSVILLE, IN (July 5, 2004) – The 17th running of the U.M.P. Summernationals has reached the official halfway point of the 26-event summer tour de force. The Summernationals first debuted in 1988 as a 6 race mini-series to join the Gopher 50 at Steele County Fairgrounds and the Herald & Review 100 at Macon Speedway while giving U.M.P. competitors an opportunity to compete on a variety of racing surfaces against competitors against whom they do not regularly square off against. Bob Memmer’s vision for the mini-series has continually expanded and is now recognized as one of the most highly anticipated and exciting spectacles on dirt.

The 2004 edition of the Summernationals consists of 26 events, each at a different track, over a 27-day span. Harkening back to 1999 when Billy Moyer dominated the Summernationals’ tour, Don O’Neal of Martinsville, IN, has stole the show with seven feature wins in twelve events. O’Neal, who has earned over $62,000 in the last two weeks sits atop the points standings and is eying his first U.M.P. Summernationals’ Championship title if he can hold of a legion of other dirt late model hotshoes.

While O’Neal leads the pack with six fast qualifying awards, 3 dash wins and seven features, nine other drivers have competed in every event and are well-positioned in the points' battle. Thus far, there have been 5 different fast qualifiers, 10 dash winners and twenty-six different heat race winners.Several drivers, such as Kevin Weaver (4), Shannon Babb (4), Terry English (3), Randy Korte (3), Mark Faust (3) and Ritchie Hedrick (3), have notched multiple heat race wins. Tracks are averaging 38 late models per event and five different drivers have visited victory lane during the first half - Don O’Neal (7), Shannon Babb (2), Rodney Melvin, Brian Shirley and 6-time U.M.P. Summernationals’ Champion, Billy Moyer.

We have twelve more exciting events in store including eight $10,000-to-win shows. Mark your calendars to visit a track near you as the points' battle heats up for the $60,000 point fund! Visit umpracing.com for additional information and the latest Summernationals’ news.

U.M.P. Summer Nationals Results - Highland Speedway 7/6/04!


Shannon Babb
MORE PHOTOS FROM HIGHLAND SPEEDWAY'S SUMMER NATIONALS

By Terry Young
Shannon Babb of Mowequa, Illinois claimed the $6,000.00 paycheck on the 2004 UMP Summer Nationals Tour event #16 as the traveling crew visited the HIGHLAND Speedway on Tuesday night.

Babb driving the CAR CITY, Arkansas Motors, Watters Autoland, Hoosier by Smash, Oval Craft, Petersen Fluid Systems, Wick Racing, J&J Steel, Bert Transmission, Weld Wheels, Jay Dickens powered C.J. Rayburn Race Cars #18 led all 40 laps of the A-Main to earn the top honors. Following Babb to the stripe was Randy Korte, Summer Nationals iron man Don O'Neal, Steve Sheppeard, Jr. in his best summer nationals performance to date and Billy Faust. Rounding out the field were Rodney Melvin, Frankie Martin, Dennis Erb, Mark Faust, Eric Smith, Matt Taylor and Chris Carlson. DNF's were Clay Baumann, Chad Zobrist, Ed Dixon, Terry English, Mark Voigt, Kevin Weaver, Don Hammer, Justin Allgaier and Rohn Moon.

Korte started the night off in front of his hometown crowd by touring the track with a time of 13.767 to record fast time.

The dash was topped by Korte in a show of power, coming from a sixth place starting berth to overtake Babb in the closing laps for the win. Following the duo were Eric Smith, Steve Sheppard, Jr., Don O'Neal, Frankie Martin, Tery English, Rodney Melvin and Ed Dixon.

The first heat was won by Billy Faust over Chad Zobrist, Terry English, Clay Baumann, Jim Morrison and Mark Gansmann.

The second heat was won by Mark Voigt over Rodney Melvin, Matt Taylor, Justin Allgaier and Rohn Moon.

The third heat was captured by Dennis Erb over Ed Dixon, Kevin Weaver, Tom Carson, Rick Salter and Dan Connoyer.

The nights only controversy came by virtue of the fourth heat when Don Hammer was leading the event and contact was made to his rearend from the nose of Nextel Cup veteran Ken Schrader. Officials deemed a ruling that seen Hammer retake his position at the point and Schrader relegated to the rear of the race for the restart. Many questioned the verdict made against Schrader, but those who looked at the track photographers digital proof left agreeing the correct call was made. After the restart Schrader would finish fifth in his heat and find himself consi-bound. Hammer went on to win the heat followed by Mark Faust, Chris Carlson and Rick Standridge.

The first of two consi races to transfer only the winner to the A-Main was won by Baumann over Gansmann, Morrison and Carson.

The second consi went to Allgaier over Rohn Moon. Schrader who was scheduled to run the second consi loaded after the heat race and did not start the consi.

Moon was added to the event as a UMP Summer Nationals provisional.

The UMP Summer Nationals will roll on to the beautiful SPOON RIVER SPEEDWAY for tonights continuation of the UMP Summer Nationals and Event #17. The track can be reached by calling (309) 668-2735 or (309) 668-2622 or by visiting them on the web at WWW.SPOONRIVERSPEEDWAY.COM.

U.M.P. Summer Nationals Results - Kentucky Lake Motor Speedway 7/10/04!


By Terry Young
Terry English of Benton, Kentucky played the dance card perfectly for the hometown crowd and did not dissapoint those who stayed through the rain shower delay to take in the UMP Summer National event #20 of 26.

English driving the Larry Seay Dealerships, AAA Fence Co., Petroff Towing, C.J. Rauburn Race Cars #96 took the win after Greg johnson led the opening 28 laps of the 40 lap event.

Johnson washed high on the track in turns three and four after a restart on Lap 28 and was relegated to third place with English and Don O'Neal both gaining positions due to Johnsons miscue.

Johnson would sustain third place with Billy Moyer, Rodney Melvin, Randy Korte, Dennis Erb, John Tindal, Billy Faust, Joe Morris, Steve Sheppard, Jr., Dwight Falcon, Chris Carlson, and Joe Mike following as the checkers fell over the field.

Early action seen English record fast time touring the track with a time of 14.580.

The dash was topped by Johnson over Shannon Babb, English, Melvin, Erb, O'Neal, Korte, Randy Sellars and Morris.

Heat races were won by Korte over Jeremy Williams, Terry Phillips and Sheppard, Moyer over Duke Whiseant, Tait Davenport and Tim Brown and Faust over Morris, Falcon and Tindal.

The consi was won by Whiseant over Weaver.

Chris Carlson and Joe Mike were added to the A-Main event as provisionals.

MORE PHOTOS FROM TRI-CITY SPEEDWAY


Shannon Babb

Shannon Babb, the Moweaqua Missile, lived up to his moniker this evening by outclassing the field and making a clean sweep by recording fast time, winning the dash and lapping up to seventh place on the lightning fast, meticulously prepared TRI-CITY Speedway.

Babb dedicated the win to UMP founder Bob Memmer who passed away this week, citing Bob's lifelong dedication to the sport and his endless contributions to help the sport.

Babb, driving the CAR CITY, WATTERS Autoland, Outlawd Motorsports, J&J Steel, Wick Racing Supply, Sunoco Fuels C.J. Rayburn Chassis with traction from Hoosier by Smash and power from Jay Dickens was definitely the class of the field this evening, pocketing the $10,000.00 winners share for his efforts.

The 34 car field took the track in qualifying with Babb touring the speed plant with a time of 20.510.

The dash was topped by Babb over Earl Pearson, Don O'Neal, Jimmy Mars, Brian Birkhofer, Terry English, Rodney Melvin, Greg Johnson and Darren Miller.

The first heat was won by Terry Phillips over Rodney Melvin, Ed Dixon, Billy Faust, John Seets, Joe Ross, Jr., Kevin Gundaker, Craig Smith, Billy Laycock and Len Garson.

Second heat action seen Greg Johnson top the field followed by Duke Whiseant, Dwight Falcon, Dennis Erb, Steve Sheppard, Jr., Chris Carlson, Chris Winters and Billy Moyer.

Third heat honors went to Randy Korte over Darren Miller, Mark Voigt, Joe Cooksey, Steve Shive, Jay Johnson, Roger Brickler and Johnny Johnson.

The consi was topped by a hard charging Billy Moyer who performed flawlessly from a rear pack starting berth to make the transfer finsihing sedcond behind John Seets from the pople starting berth. Following the duo at the stripe were Jay Johnson, Sheppard, Jr., Ross, Jr., Shive, Carlson, Craig Smith, Laycock, Roger Brickler, Winters and Len Garson.

Feature action would see Shannon Babb jump to an early lead and never be headed, leading all 40 laps like he was on a rail. Only early race action seen him with any challenge at all, that coming at the hand of Don O'Neal and Earl Pearson. Following Babb to the checkered flag were 9 cars with a high rate of attrition in the main beginning in the opening laps all the way to lap 33. At the finish it was Babb, Pearson, O'Neal, Birkhofer, Miller, Phillips and Korte, the only cars on the lead lap. Terry English and Dennis Erb were both minus one lap with Justin Allgaier rounding out the top 10 two laps down to the leader. Allgaier was in a borrowed car, after qualifying a Don O'Neal backup and then missing the heat and consi, jumping into an unfamiliar borrowed car from Kevin Gundaker who didn't make the show, and making the most of his provisional, ended the evening with a top 10 finish.

Tomorrow, the UMP Summer Nationals takes a much needed breather, with a day off for travel as the group heads North to the Farley Speedway on Tuesday for Event #22 of 26, winding down to the crowning of the champion the following Saturday. Farley Speedway is located in Farley, Iowa.

Thanks To Eric Huenefeld for the following results..6:20am

O'Neal King at the 'Palace of Speed'

By: Eric Huenefeld

FARLEY, IA-- It has come to the point in the 2004
edition of the UMP Summernationals where people are
trying to think of reasons why Don O'Neal won't win a
race. The latest belief was that O'Neal does not
perform as well on the bigger tracks, such as Farley
Speedway's 1/2 mile 'Palace of Speed'.

Looks like the naysayers will have to look for a new
crutch.

The Martinsville, Indiana driver stormed to the lead
from his starting position on the outside front row to
lead the 40 lap main event wire-to-wire. The win was
O'Neal's 10th on the 2004 Summernationals Series.

The driver known as the 'Real Deal' peddled his A1
Auto Salvage/O'Neal Wood Products/Living Room Center
Jay Dickens powered Rayburn Chassis around the high
line Tuesday night, fighting off challenges from some
of the best dirt late model drivers in the country.

Among the drivers fighting for position behind O'Neal
were teammates Billy Moyer and Shannon Babb. The two
would trade the second spot four times in the final
five laps before Moyer would slip by Babb for the
runner-up spot.

Rick Eckert made the trip form York, Pennsylvania and
cashed in with a fourth place finish. Eckert made a
late race pass on Stacker 2 Extreme Dirtcar Series
point leader Jimmy Mars to secure the spot. Mars
would come home in fifth spot.

O'Neal's victory was worth $10,000.00 and was his
second Summernationals win at the Iowa speedplant.

The Summernationals next stop is tonight at Johnny
Johnson's 34 Raceway in West Burlington, Iowa. The
main event will pay $10,000.00 to the winner.

By Terry Young

Pearson caught the checkered flag ahead of Randy Korte, Brian Birkhofer, Dennis Erb, Jr., Rodney Melvin, Terry English, Shannon Babb, Don O'Neal, Matt Miller and Mark Burgtorf.

The evening began with Pearson setting the fast qualifying lap and also claiming the trophy dash ahead of Matt Miller, Terry English, Ray Guss, Jr., O'Neal and Steve Francis.

Heat races were topped by Duke Whiseant over Korte, Brent Slocum and Dennis Woodworth, Birkhofer over Erb, Jr., Darren Miller and Rob Toland, Rodney Melvin over Babb, Billy Moyer and Burgtorf.

The consi's were topped by Eckert over Denny Eckrich, Johnny Johnson, Clint Hines, and Chris Carlson and Tim Lance over Jimmy Mars, Dave Eckrich, Jay Johnson and Eric Gustaf.
