Pontoon Beach, IL (July 10, 2005) Mark Oller earned his second straight UMP Late Model victory at the Missouri/Illinois Dodge Dealer's Tri-City Speedway. Jayme Zidar took the early lead from the pole position and led the main event until Steve Sheppard slipped past him on the low side on lap five. A good three-way battle for the lead shaped up as Oller, Sheppard and Zidar battled through lapped traffic. Oller was able to find a fast line around the top side about mid-way through the event and move past Sheppard for the lead. Sheppard would cut a right front tire down just a couple of laps later and fall out of the event. Zidar had his hands full holding on to the second position as Billy Laycock moved up to challenge him for the position. Laycock would get the pass completed on lap twenty but a caution flag would wave and Laycock was moved back to the third position on the restart. Laycock would settle for the third spot behind Oller and Zidar. Michael Kloos took home the fourth spot and Craig Smith completed the top five.

Jim Lafferty brought out the broom and swept up the action in the UMP Modified division. Lafferty won every race he was including his qualifying heat, the dash and the main event. Rusty Griffaw took the early lead in the main event using the high groove, but Lafferty chased him down and pulled ahead using the low side. Lafferty had a battle on his hand for the entire race as Bobby Martintoni, Ray Walsh, Tim Hancock, Ed Lenhardt, Tom Seets and Griffaw all fought it out for the lead. Lafferty was able to hold everyone back and earn the win. Martintoni brought his car home in the second position. Tom Seets picked up two spots on the final lap and came home third while Ed Lenhardt took fourth and Ray Walsh fifth.

Dennis Wernle continued his domination in the Sportsman division. Wernle led all fifteen laps of the main event to complete the sweep. Brandon Hogenson followed Wernle across the line in the second position with Don Grimm taking third. Jeremy Nash took the fourth spot and Jimmy Cummins came home fifth.

It appeared Robby Benson had won the Street Stock feature event as he led wire-to-wire as the event went green for all fifteen laps. However, a post race inspection found an illegal carburetor and Benson was disqualified. Tommy Gegg who crossed the line in second was awarded the victory. Point leader Sam Kizer took second with Ricky Huebner in third. Corey Perigo had also finished in the top five but was disqualified for an illegal carburetor as well. Therefore Josh Jackson was awarded fourth place and Brad Yotter fifth.

Aaron Wood took home the victory in the Factory Stock division. Ralph Bradford was second and Ken Bell third.
