Pontoon Beach, IL (May 29, 2005) Mother Nature put a damper on most of the main events as rained moved in during the UMP Late Model main event. The UMP Late Model main event was officially declared completed after just nineteen of the twenty-five laps were completed as the track became too wet.

The UMP Late Model main event proved to be a barn burner however, as Rodney Melvin and Steve Sheppard battled side-by-side for the final eight laps. The two traded the lead several times and Sheppard crossed the line with a nose out front on lap nineteen. The caution waved on lap twenty and the finish was reverted back to the last officially completed lap. Mark Oller rolled across the line in the third spot, with Jayme Zidar taking fourth and Ed Dixon rounding out the top five.

The only other feature that was completed were the Factory Stocks. Josh Porch outpaced Aaron Wood to earn the win. Paul McEntyre took third.
