“We are excited to get back to Tyler County, stated ULMS Series owner, Chris Zuver. The Watson’s have done some great stuff at Tyler County over the past few years and we are humbled and grateful to be part of one of their biggest weekends of the season during the Mega 100 Weekend. I realize that the modified division is the highlight of the weekend but there is $8,000 up for grabs for the ULMS Late Models and that’s not bad money for two days of work.”
ULMS Racing Series procedures will be in place, which includes time trials, minimum 8 lap qualifying heat events, consolation events (if needed) and 30 lap main event.
