PITTSBURGH, Pa. -- It's a UFo Alien Invasion this Saturday as Pittsburgh's Pennsylvania Motor Speedway presents the UFo Area 51 Topless Invasion on Saturday, July 21st. The winner of the 51 lap Super Late Model main event will receive the top prize of $5,000.00. In addition, the Mod Lite Stars Tour will make its inaugural appearance at the Imperial, PA oval. The Pro-Lates, Late Model Sportsman, Hobby Stocks and Young Guns will round out the evening's racing action.

"The UFo events at PPMS are always exciting and we are definitely looking forward to this week's event," stated Matt Miley. "The UFo has some of the best regional drivers in competition at each event and you never know who may drop in to try and score the victory." Gregg Satterlee was victorious when the UFo last visited the Imperial, PA oval in May. In addition to Satterlee, current UFo Points Leader Keith Barbara, Jason Covert, Coleby Frye, Alex Ferree and Michael Norris are also expected to challenge for the win.

Jared Miley may be the hottest Late Model driver on the Western PA circuit as he scored "back to back" wins last weekend at Lernerville and PPMS. Miley is the current divisional points leader at Lernerville and is currently fifth in the UFO standings. The South Park resident would like nothing more than to score the win this Saturday.

Perhaps the biggest divisional news since the UFo's first visit to "Dirt's Monster Half Mile" in May surrounds the return of John Flinner to the driver's seat of the John Johnson owned Rocket Chassis. Flinner scored a win here at PPMS on June 23rd and after suffering some mechanical problems in the subsequent weeks is poised for a successful run on Saturday.

PPMS management will start a maximum of 32 cars for the UFo main event and the Late Model feature event will pay $400.00 to the 24th place finisher.

In addition the first ever appearance of the Mod Lite Stars Tour is also on this Saturday's racing card. The Mod Lite heat events will be run with a "No Contact" rule to give the competitors the opportunity to adjust to the "Monster Half Mile." All Mod Lites will be eligible to start the feature event which pays $275.00 to win and $50.00 to start.


We are also pleased to announce the new "Big Pit Monster Meal" that will be available exclusively in the Pit Concession. The meal features a quarter pound hamburger, large french fries and a 32 ounce fountain drink for just $8.00.
