Aaron Heck claims the UMP DIRTcar Pro Late Model National Championship

Granite City, IL – 10/12/13 – Thirty one UMP DIRTcar Pro Late Models signed in for their National Championship event at Tri-City Speedway. The Season Championship battle had come down to be between Aaron Heck and Nick Lyons with the only way Lyons could get the title would be with a victory. Lyons would have to settle for a fourth place finish allowing Aaron Heck to be crowned the 2013 UMP DIRTcar National Champion. Scott Weber would win the night’s feature event and $2,500 first prize. Weber inherited in the lead on lap 29 when Aaron Heck broke. Weber had worked his way up through traffic after starting ninth and was about to challenge Aaron Heck and Steve Lance, Jr. for the lead when Heck went into turn three and something broke on the front end and he got into the wall. Weber passed both Aaron Heck and Lance and got the lead at the point. One lap later Aaron Heck and Matt Taylor would get together on turn two which would end both of their nights. On the restart, Weber was too strong and pulled away to get the win. Lance would finish second with Kolby Vandenbergh, Nick Lyons and Brian Lynn rounding out the top five.
