For the second year in a row, the Zimmer Service Center ULMS Late Model Series ends Freedom Motorsports 2018 season with the Big Dog Saturday event featuring the ground pounding super late models and the big block outlaw modifieds on the same card.
Last year, Max Blair won the ULMS portion of the Big Dog Saturday event with Greg Oakes winning the very popular ULMS super late model versus Outlaw Big Block Modified Shootout. This year’s edition will see the ULMS Late Models competing in the Mike “Duke” Duclon Memorial presented by Close Racing Supply of Eldred PA paying $3058 to win for the 30 lap main event and the shootout will pay $500 to win. A added bonus for the ULMS Late Model or Outlaw Modified shootout winner of $500 if they can win the shootout and their feature event. Murphy Logging will once again sponsor the Integra Shocks Fast Time award with a $300 prize to the overall fast time for the ULMS Late Models in time trials.
Joel Smith, President of Close Racing Supply commented about Mike Duclon. “Duke worked for CRS as a welder/steel fabricator for many years. He was responsible for frame repairs, new car builds, along with fabricating CRS suspension components. Duke took a lot of pride in building very high quality products for the company. He was a former street stock and super stock racer at Freedom Raceway driving his green and white #58. While working at CRS he was part owner of Todd Hansen BRP LM car that won many races at Freedom, Little Valley, McKean, and other tracks. Duke was a dedicated employee that took a lot of pride in his work. Everybody at CRS has continued to follow his path of building quality products and we miss him very much.”
Max Blair will lead the ULMS contingent into Freedom with his eight wins on the year. He has won four of the last six ULMS events at Freedom. Boom Briggs defeated the potent #111 machine in August for Boom’s first ULMS win of the year. Expected to be on hand at Freedom will be Mike Maresca, Mike Wonderling, Doug Eck, Jason Dobson, Oakes, Nathan Hill, Al Brewer, Mike Smith, Brad Mesler, Wyatt Scott along with David Scott in the Terry Suppa #4s CJ Rayburn machine and 2002 ULMS Champion and dirt late model Hall of Famer, Chub Frank are some of the expected entries.
