(HARRISBURG, ILLINOIS) Harrisburg, Illinois-based
Riggs Motorsports was very strong in UMP Summernationals action in
the Land of Lincoln last week! Terry English, of Benton, Kentucky,
wheeled team owner Scott Riggs' #81 machine to a $6,000 triumph on
Tuesday night, June 17 at the Highland Speedway in Highland, Illinois.
Kevin Cole was also solid at Highland, as he posted a seventh place
effort after starting twelfth. Jason Riggs was also in action at Highland,
but unfortunately could not put his #81jr into the main event.
On Wednesday evening, June 18, the grueling UMP Summernationals
tour invaded the tiny Belle Clair Speedway in Belleville, Illinois
for another $6,000 to win show. Kevin was the lone team member in
action at Belleville, but unfortunately missed out on the A-Main.
Thursday night, June 19 saw the Riggs Motorsports
team in action at the I-57/I-64 Raceway in Mount Vernon, Illinois.
Kevin set fast time on the evening during qualifying and later finished
seventh in the $6,000 to win feature event. Jason once again failed
to transfer into the A-Main at Mount Vernon after advancing into the
B-Main.
The #81 teams are looking forward to two more UMP
Summernationals events on their upcoming weekend schedule. Look for
the team to be strong at the Paducah International Raceway in Paducah,
Kentucky on Thursday night, June 26 and at the Clarksville Speedway
in Clarksville, Tennessee on Saturday evening, June 28. The event
at PIR will pay $6,000 to win, while a $10,000 top prize is up for
grabs at Clarksville on Saturday. You can learn all about the grueling
