Annual UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals ‘Hell Tour’
Showcases 27 Dirt Late Model Races in 31 Days

 

ORLANDO, FL — Dec. 12, 2008 — The 21^st annual UMP DIRTcar Summer Nationals tour is the most grueling month in any form of motorsports. The 2009 series — also known as the “Hell Tour” — is one of the most challenging in history with 27 Super Dirt Late Model races in 31 days.

“Running the Summer Nationals tour is one of the toughest things a Dirt Late Model team can attempt,” said UMP DIRTcar Racing Director Sam Driggers. “To accomplish the feat, to survive to finale at Oakshade, is an accomplishment that won’t be forgotten. Whether it’s the racers, the officials or the fans, the tour showcases everything that’s great about dirt track racing.”
