Fort Payne AL, (8/13/22) --- Saturday night the Fort Payne Motor Speedway hosted the United Championship Racing Alliance - UCRA presented by Red Line Synthetic Oil, for the annual Fort Payne 40 Back to School event for 604/Crate Late Models. Local racer Jeff Helms of Gadsden, earned his biggest win of his career winning the 40 lap, $2,500 to win main event. Helms held off numerous challenges from fast qualifier Kasey Hall of Geraldine and former two-time champion Jimmy Elliott of Cleveland, TN. Hall and Elliott swapped second place a few times before Elliott spun in turn four ending his night prematurely. Helms would keep Hall and Lil' John Owenby of Cleveland at bay for the remaining 40 laps with Owenby taking second on the final restart. Bill Mahan of Lacey Springs and Kyle May of Pisgah rounded out the top five finishers.
