the track in question doesn't run late models weekly though

I'd tell them I'm ump when I'm having ump sanctioned races. What I do otherwise isn't any of your business.

Sounds to me, that this track wants the advantages of being a UMP track and not do anything for it. There is no free lunch. The bad part is, in this area, if your not a UMP track, you don't have enough cars to run LM programs.There are more Late Models around, but they run for UMP points fund.

what ever happened to route 45 speedway think about that one

You could very well call it extortion. It's been going on since the mid 40s with sanctioning groups and tracks or even racers. Look at the old AAA. If they scheduled a race anywhere, a driver would forfeit his points for the year if he raced anywhere else. I believe there was a stock car road race in Mexico once and several drivers raced champ cars or sprints that week end and lost their point money. USAC had similar rules. Looking at it from the other side, Sanctioning bodies need their tracks and drivers to cooperate in order to provide the product they offered. It's give and take, covered by contract law.

Any time you change rules, you take that chance. Not necessarily directly related to sanction.
