The spirit of competition burns brightly as NELMA officially
opens registrations for its Fifth Annual Late Model Challenge,
Legends Car Fall Classic, and Pro Truck Rumble. The Saturday,
October 24 events hosted by Sundance Vacations Speedway in St.
Johns, Pa. promise to deliver plenty of excitement for fans and
competitors alike.
For the fifth year, the Late Model Challenge is already
attracting the attention of the best pavement late model drivers
in the Northeast. Last year, the trifecta of Kevin Metzger, Dave
Macomber, and Tommy Spencer Jr. duked it out in the closing
laps, all of whom raced their cars to their limits for a chance
to be crowned Late Model Challenge champion. However, when the
dust settled, the wily Spencer rode the outside of Metzger and
Macomber to become the first-ever two-time Late Model Challenge
winner.
The INEX Legends cars return this year for the second annual
Legends Car Fall Classic. Talent from across the Eastern
seaboard ventured for the 2008 event. A trio of young guns stole
the show last year. Max Zachem, the then 15-year-old that hauled
all the way from Preston, Conn., bested his fellow Connecticut
rival Jason Palmer, and New Jersey’s Mike Alcaro.
America’s love affair with the pickup truck spreads to the
racetrack as NELMA proudly completes their October 24 show with
the Pro Trucks. Last year’s edition featured a family feud,
where the Turbush and Dumicich families, both steeped in racing
tradition, battled amongst the tailgate brigade. Chris Turbush
took the checkered flag for his clan, while Erin Dumicich was
the best of hers, finishing third behind second-generation racer
Brian McElearney.
Now it’s your chance to make history. To register for this
year’s can’t-miss event, visit
