UMP National points

[PBR66]

Throw Pierce in that conversation as well

Not sure why Pierce chases those UMP points instead of running a outlaw schedule similar to Overton.

All anyone needs to know about UMP national points is that Moyer, Babb and BShepp are in the top 10 and do not run for points weekly. Argue over Shclenk and Unzicker all you want if any of those three tried at all they'd be the "champion" just shows you how far weekly LM racing has fallen

It only takes what, your top 30 or 35 races? So, you don't have to run all the time. And that is what ump racing is for, weekly racers. Yes, professionals are way better thanks to the current dirt late model technical climate.

Great post MBR....puts things in perspective

Not a Pierce fan, but I'd say his schedule is very similar to Overton's. Just so happens the big money regional shows he runs are UMP sanctioned and they aren't in the Southeast. Overton ran the full Southern Nationals, Pierce ran the full Summer Nationals. Plus all the Eldora events are UMP sanctioned, just a byproduct of the area he's from.

More often then not the real professional drivers like pierce dont actively chase the weekly ump points. After winning the summernationals, it dawns on them that they are in the running so late in the year they go and win the weekly points.

[QUOTE=Senroc-Systems;2140559]Yes they are. It's what is posted on UMP's page right now. Thru September 17. I'll be sure to update them as soon as UMP does. Rusty, Ryan or Eric usually post them on their Facebook pages. Unicker has been on an incredible roll the last few weeks and has closed very little. He's actually lost ground three consecutive weeks. From 42 to 52 to 56. Rusty has 21 wins and over dozen 2nd place finishes. When either of the top 3 race they gain very little on each other because of the high number of wins, seconds and thirds. They may race and not even replace anything. Spangler finished 4th at Berlin. I don't think he replaced anything because he didn't gain anything. He updates a bit more than the other two. We're not going to see 20, 30, 40 point gains this late in the season. While Unzicker has won the most late, his recent wins have been with low car counts. Rusty and Spangler both have raced with higher average car counts, and receive more bonus points per victory. The fans are the real winners here because we get to see these guys give their all every week. All three have been racing their a$$es off at a Championship level. I'd love to see all three at Eldora next weekend. That's what racing is......................you may want to recheck your Unzicker stats

[Senroc-Systems]

Where is Dona Marcouiller? Surprised he's not up higher. Top 10 at least

[Senroc-Systems]

Marcoullier not in the top 25. Doesn't race enough to contend with the front runners. Plenty of talent, plenty of equipment. Just doesn't run enough to compete on UMP level ( # of races )
