This will make a 2-race weekend for the UFo Race Championship as Tyler County Speedway will host the $4,000 to win UFo "Earl Hill Trophy" on Saturday, July 2.

The 2011 version will be the 36th running of the UFo vs ULMS "Yankee Doodle." The race has been contested on both the clay and aslphalt surfaces of the speedway over the years.

Central PA Speedway is a big, wide, sweeping 3/8 mile track, built into a bowl, with excellent viewing from both the bleachers and trackside parking locations. The "Big Track" was one of the initial 5 member tracks of the UFo Race Championship tour and hosted 2 successful events in 2008. The promoters of the UFo tour welcome the Central PA Speedway back for 2011. Track owner Tim Bainey and operations director Dan Bainey have made the track a special events showplace since taking over in 2008. The track is renown for its strong payoffs in the region and the UFo vs. ULMS "Yankee Doodle" will be the highest paying 1-day event on the 2011 alien tour.

The massive payoff of the UFo vs. ULMS "Yankee Doodle" will top $31,000! This will boost the total available payoffs including points bonus for the UFo Race Championship to approximately $440,000 for this season. This UFo Race Championship continues to realize its goal of revitalizing and strengthening Super Late Model racing in the region. This huge amount of prize money is available to the race teams WITHOUT the use of costly entry fees or membership fees. The events are all scheduled within 150 miles of the center point of Washington, PA, which means much less travel expense for the race teams as well.
