UCRA - United Championship Racing Alliance
LOCAL RACER KASEY HALL NOTCHES ANOTHER UCRA VICTORY @ FORT PAYNE MOTOR SPEEDWAY
Notching his second career United Crate Racing Alliance, Kasey Hall of Geraldine, Ala., rolled off from the pole position and led all 40 laps for a $2,500 payday at his home-track Fort Payne Motor Speedway Friday night. Hall's margin of victory was 2.943 seconds over runner-up Jason Manley of Loudon, Tenn. Five drivers completed all 40 laps and seven were running at the finish. A 45-minute afternoon rainstorm threatened the program, but officials forged ahead, due to recent rainouts over the past three weeks. The feature was slowed by a pair of lap-27 cautions. Defending series champion Rusty Ballenger of Seymour, Tenn., completed just three laps, before ending his challenges. (Ronnie Barnett photo)

Fort Payne hosted the second UCRA event of the season and the first of a weekend doubleheader. Jason Manley of Loudon, Tenn., improved five positions to score a runner-up finish and moves firmly into the points lead for the $15.000 Championship. Hall's Fast Time (15.207 seconds) and victory puts him in position to win a bonus $500 if he's victorious Saturday night, May 13th.
