One such local racer, later-turned national champion, was 2003 National Dirt Late Model Hall-of-Famer Bob Pierce. He was emerging as one of Illinois’ most revered racers, and recalled the confusion and frustration that surrounded Late Model racing at any given track. We didn’t know what the rules were going to be, sometimes until we pulled into the racetrack.”. Like Pierce, those principles weren’t lost on 2003 National Dirt Late Model Hall-of-Famer Billy Moyer. I wasn’t sure if every track was going to jump on the bandwagon with it.”. For most of UMP’s existence, Memmer was the one and only man in charge.
