The Zimmer Service Center ULMS Late Model Series will make their second visit of the season to Bradford Speedway on Sunday July 19 for the Mike Reed “Mountain Man” Memorial that will pay $2500 to win plus lap money in the 30 lap main event. The previous ULMS event at Bradford held last month saw Wyatt Scott pick up his first career series win over his father David Scott.
The event in memory of Mike Reed of Shinglehouse, who was a top running late model driver from the 1980s thru mid 2000s in his familiar blue #07. Mike was famous for his mountain man painted scheme on his hood of his cars throughout the years and always having one of the sharpest looking cars on the track. The #07 of Reed was always seen at Genesee Speedway, McKean County Raceway and Bradford Speedway throughout the years of competing. Mike is also a member of the Legends Racing Hall of Fame.
Wyatt Scott is the current point leader for the Zimmer Service Center ULMS Late Model Series heading into Bradford Speedway due to a tie breaker in wins over Doug Eck who sits second in points despite having the same number of points (72) as the young Scott. Eck is currently still looking for his first career ULMS win and Bradford could be the place as he was the overall fast time qualifier last month at Bradford. Other expected notable entries to be on hand are previous, ULMS Bradford winners, Greg Oakes, David Scott, Bryce Davis along with Mike Pegher, Jason Dobson, Mike Knight, Brad Mesler, Andy Boozel, Dave Hess, Kyle Scott, Steve Scaife, Mike Wonderling, Nathan Hill, Garrett Mott, Dylan Fenton are some of several teams expected to be on hand.
