Pontoon Beach, IL (June 22nd, 2012) – Billy Moyer of Batesville, Arkansas took the victory and $10,000 top prize at Tri-City Speedway’s UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals. Randy Korte took the lead at the drop of the green flag and led the first twenty-nine laps of the fifty lap main event. Moyer moved in on Korte and starting pressuring him for the lead on lap ten. The two battled fiercly for the lead all the way to lap twenty-nine when Moyer got under Korte exiting turn two and then their cars made contact down the backstretch with Korte then getting into the outside wall down the backstretch. The caution would wave for Korte as his car stopped on the backstretch. Korte would show his displeasure to Moyer when Moyer came back around as he pulled up next to Moyer and gave him a not so friendly gesture. Moyer would go on to lead the final twenty-one laps pretty much uncontested to take the victory. Brian Shirley would bring home another great run in the Summer Nationals as he finished second and now leads the series point standings. Brian Birkhofer would finish third. Bobby Pierce would come home in the fourth spot while Dennis Erb, Jr. completed the top five.

The UMP DIRTcar Modifieds provided another great race for the fans as Brent Mullins weathered the assault of Michael Long to earn the victory. Mullins jumped out to the lead at the drop of the green flag and after just a couple of laps found himself under assault from Long. Long would get the pass made for the lead on a couple of occassions only to have the yellow come out and get relegated back to the second spot. Long would finally get the pass made and took over the top spot on lap eleven. Long would put some distance on the second place Mullins right after he got the lead. However, as the race began to wind down, Mullins car was getting better and faster while Long’s tires would go away and he started getting slower. Mullins would reel Long back in and then make the pass back for the top spot. Long would try to battle back but he would begin to really slip back over the final few laps. Mullins would take the win. Mike Harrison would grab the second spot while Lance Dehm would also get by Long to finish third. Long would slide back to a fourth place finish. Levi Kissinger would cross the line fifth facing the wrong direction as he was sent spinning down the front stretch off the nose of Timmy Hill.

Mark Oller paced all twenty laps of the UMP Pro Late Model event to pick up the win. Tim Ratajczyk would hold off Bobby Dauderman to finish second. Aaron Heck would take the fourth spot while Jim Shereck rounded out the top five.

Danny Ems made his first visit of 2012 to Tri-City Speedway in the Street Stock division and did what he did most of the several past previous seasons, he won! Ems would lead the entire fifteen laps enroute to the victory. Jason Worley would finish second with Tommy Gaither taking third. Dan Pilkington would finish fourth and Bobby Silkwood rounded out the top five.
