1 July 2, 2015 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Zeigler Rages from 29 th Restart Position to Win UFo Revolution 2015 at Hesston! (Hesston, PA) Those in attendance at Hesston Speedway on Thursday night witnessed a spectacular feat of racing on an incredible clay track. Mason Zeigler of Chalk Hill, PA restarted in the 29 th position and raced his way to win UFo Revolution 2015 presented by Dave s Auto Body of Woodbury PA. On a perfect, multi-groove track, Ralph Morgan Jr. of Mount Union, PA raced from 10 th to take his second consecutive Semi-Late win. Jonathan Taylor of Saltsburg, PA won the E-mod feature from 7 th on the grid. Greg Moore of Defiance, PA won yet another Cadet feature from the 12 th starting position and 15 th starting Alex Boozel of McVeytown was declared the winner of the Hobby-Modified feature. With 44 UFo Super Late Models in attendance, a 30 car grid started the Area 51-lap feature event. Nick Dickson and Ron Delano, Jr lead the field to the green. Delano spun in in turn three on the first lap, with Zeigler, who originally started in 16 th position stopping to avoid his car. Zeigler was then relegated to the 29 th starting position for the restart with no laps completed. Dickson charged into the lead on the second attempt to start the race, but the caution quickly appeared again on lap one. After the restart, Dickson was over taken by 5 th starting Dylan Yoder on the second lap. Yoder, who was the most recent UFo winner, looked like he was going to be a force to contend with, but exited the race on lap eight giving the lead back to Dickson. With the huge field of cars on the track, the race ran green for 37 laps. Dickson looked like he would be untouchable as he built up a sizeable lead. Zeigler was slicing his way through the heavy traffic and found himself in sixth place when the caution did appear on lap 38. The double file restart completely changed the outcome of the race. On the restart, Justin Kann used his outside starting position and the heavy cushion of the track to surge into the lead. While Dickson faded back, a three car race between Kann, Dan Stone and Zeigler ensued with Stone taking the point on lap 41. Stone and Zeigler then began to battle for the lead with Zeigler coming out on top on lap 45. The two made contact on the front straight turning Zeigler sideways but Zeigler was able to save it and drive on to the $4,000 win. Stone followed in second. Jerry Bard over took Kann on lap 45 also with the two finishing third and fourth. Andy Haus, who drew one of the worst pills of the night, advanced from 13 th to finish 5 th. Dickson crossed the line in sixth. Tim Smith, Jr. drew the next-to-last pill for the heat races and rallied from his 28 th starting position to finish seventh. 21 st starting Keith Jackson, who won the first UFo event of 2015 at Hesston finished eight with Dan Angelicchio and 20 th starting Mike Lupfer rounding out the top ten. Heat race wins for the large UFo Super Late Model field went to Delano, Stone, Micheal Altobelli, Jr, Bard and Dickson. Jackson and Lupfer spilt the consolation wins. Ralph Morgan, Jr. won his second consecutive Semi-Late feature from his required 10 th place starting positon. Teammates Rance Garlock and Dillon Stake lead the field to green. Stake officially lead on the first lap before Garlock was scored the leader, but the two raced an absolute side-by-side battle over the first ten laps before Garlock took full control. On a double file restart, Dave Leidy overtook Garlock on lap 16 and soon a spectacular three car battle started between Leidy, Garlock and Morgan. Garlock went back into the lead on lap 19. Twice, the trio went three-wide for the lead coming off turn 4 with Morgan finally coming out on top on lap 23 with a daring pass through the middle. Morgan lead the remaining laps to win the $1,000 first prize. Seventh starting Robbie Black and Eric Irvin passed Leidy on lap 28 to take second and third with Leidy finishing fourth. Kenny Yoder finished fifth with 21 st starting Devin Frey crossing the line in sixth. 19 th starting Dan Sollers, 22 nd starting Paul Kot, 14 th starting Gage Whitsel and 24 th starting Joe Kot rounded out the top ten. Morgan also won his heat race from an 11 th place staring positon, with Irvin winning the other hear race.

2 The LaSalle s Engine & Chassis E-mods made their second appearance of 2015 with Jonathan Taylor claiming the $800 first prize.
