The winner of the July 15 ULTIMATE NE Region Race at Pittsburgh’s Pennsylvania Motor Speedway will be a guaranteed starter in PPMS’ premier event, the $20,000-to-win 29th Annual Pittsburgher 100 on October 6-7. The July 15 race will be the first of two ULTIMATE NE races this season at PPMS, with the second $3,000-to-win, $400-to-start race on the schedule for August 26.

The ULTIMATE NE Region was formed in February to give weekly Super Late Model competitors an opportunity to compete in higher paying special events in their area without having to travel great distances to run in bigger races.

Since most tracks had already set their season schedules by the time the ULTIMATE NE Region was formed, the series will run a non-points, non-points fund-paying Pilot Introductory 2017 season designed to give the series, the tracks and the competitors an opportunity to get to know each other.

“We’re excited about launching the new ULTIMATE NE Region at PPMS on July 15 and show that it is a win-win situation for competitors, tracks, and their fans,” ULTIMATE NE Director Rose Compton said. “Through the ULTIMATE NE Region, competitors will have an opportunity to visit new tracks and race for larger purses, and the tracks will have an opportunity to show their fans some new competitors.”

ULTIMATE NE Competitor Membership is not required for the 2017 season, and no point fund will be paid. Plans are already being made for a complete schedule of events in the Pennsylvania, Northern Ohio and New York area for 2018, and the ULTIMATE NE Region competitors will run for a point fund next season.

ULTIMATE NE is one of four Regions under the ULTIMATE umbrella of Regional Super Late Model racing. The concept of the ULTIMATE Regions is to give dirt tracks an opportunity to present an affordable brand of exciting super late model racing in a special event that is enjoyable to both fans and competitors.

The ULTIMATE South East Region was formed in 2011, and the ULTIMATE Super Late Model Series Battle of the Bluegrass Region was formed in 2016 to cover Kentucky, Indiana, and Tennessee. The ULTIMATE Super Late Model Series Mid-Ohio Valley Region for West Virginia and Southern Ohio joined ULTIMATE NE this year as the newest ULTIMATE Regions.
