Pontoon Beach, IL (May 22, 2005) Bryan Collins used the high side to move past Mark Oller on the fifth lap of the twenty-five lap main event in the UMP Late Model division and cruised to victory. Collins, of Elsberry, MO, kept a steady and smooth pace around the top of the 1/4 mile oval enroute to the win. Oller raced the low side and brought his mount home in second. Steve Sheppard took the third position while Wisconsin's Jayme Zidar took fourth. Billy Laycock rounded out the top five.

Ray Walsh, James Lafferty and Steve Maisel put on a fierce three way battle for the lead for the entire twenty laps of the UMP Modified main event. Maisel led the very early laps before Walsh moved past on the high side. Maisel continued to challenge Walsh for the lead throughout the event as Lafferty often made it a three-wide battle. Walsh was able to hang on using the high side to claim the win, Maisel just edged Lafferty out for the second position. Matt Simpson followed Lafferty across the line to take fourth and Bobby Martintoni completed the top five.

Dennis Wernle claimed his second straight Sportsman main event. Wernle led wire-to-wire to earn the victory. Don Grimm provided the occassional pressure to Wernle but settled for the second spot. Jimmy Cummins took the third position with Ryan Driemeyer claiming fourth and Brandon Hogenson fifth.

Robbie Benson took home the Street Stock main event. Benson also led wire-to-wire while Brad Yotter and Todd Erickson battled throughout the main event for the second spot. Yotter would edge out Erickson to claim second. Sam Kizer came back through the field after an early spin to pick up the fourth spot Mark Pfleuger came home fifth.

Ralph Bradford picked up his second straight Factory Stock win. Josh Porch to second while Aaron Wood took the third position. Robert Bussen took a wild ride as he got upside down in the main event, but was uninjured as he walked away from the crash.

Next Sunday, Tri-City Speedway presented by the Missouri/Illinois Dodge Dealers will be back in action with a full weekly show. Then on Wednesday, June 1st, the UMP Challenge of Champions Series rolls into Tri-City Speedway. UMP Modifieds and Dwarf Cars will also be on the card.
