Pevely, MO (November 12, 2005) Scott Weber of Festus, MO was on a mission Saturday night at I-55 Raceway and he simply put on a driving clinic on how to get around the high banked one-third mile oval during the SHOP N SAVE Ken Schrader Modified Challenge. Weber payed a special tribute to fellow racer and friend Dean Motsinger who was tragically killed just two weeks earlier by changing his car number from his familiar 4J to 44J. Motsinger had run the #44 UMP Late Model at I-55 Raceway for the past several seasons. Weber took Dean Motsinger's young son for a pace lap around the track during opening ceremonies as the track remembered Dean Motsinger.
Weber got off to a rough start in his heat race as he broke a tie rod on the left front and finished in tenth place in the tenth heat race. There were five C-Main events with each having sixteen cars scheduled to start and Weber started sixteenth in the third C-Main and drove his way to the front and claimed the victory of that event. With only the top two finishers from each C-Main moving on to the two B-Mains that positioned Weber in the seventeenth starting spot in the first B-Main. Weber proceeded to drive his way to the front past a stellar field of UMP Modifieds and claimed the win which put him on the pole for the main event. (The format for this event had the top 30 cars in passing points from the heat races already in the B-Mains, then the top two from each C-Main completed the B-Main starting lineup. The top 10 from each B-Main then made the main event.)
Weber proceeded to lead all thirty laps of the main event as he pulled away to victory. Tim Hancock claimed the second position after starting in the sixth position. Scott May also won one of the earlier C-Mains and then moved up to a fourth place finish in the second B-Main before finally claiming the third position in the main event. The 2004 UMP National Champion Mike Harrison claimed the fourth position and a regular around the dirt late model scene, Randy Korte, claimed the fifth spot in the main event.
