The Zimmer’s Service Center Inc. UEMS Emods will be back in action on Sunday joining their big brother series at Tri City for a always fan favorite double header ULMS action event at Tri City.

The ULMS Late Model Series makes their first visit in two years to Pittsburgh PA Motor Speedway for the 9th annual Red Miley Rumble. The 35 lap event will pay $3053 to win and $253 to start. Past ULMS winners of this event have been Keith Barbra, Jared Miley, Dave Johnson and Josh Richards.

The provisional will go towards the top finisher of RMR that does not qualify for the Lucas Oil sanctioned Pittsburgher.

The super late models competed a few weeks back at Tri City in a non sanctioned event and saw a barn burner finish with ULMS point leader, Max Blair passing his dad, Rob on the final turn of the event.

A very quality field of ULMS Late Models are expected for this event.
