General Information:
*Note: This is my first trip to Ponderosa so my ability to provide live updates cannot be guaranteed until I am certain of cell reception. Also, due to the significant driving time involved, I plan to focus the bulk of these updates on the Ultimate Supers.
The $10,001-to-win purse makes this the richest race on the Ultimate Super Late Models circuit although the series does have other $10,000-to-win races.
Dennis ‘Rambo’ Franklin currently leads the Ultimate SLM standings over Jeff Smith, Brandon Overton, Doug Sanders and Jonathan Edwards.
*Just arrived. Cell reception is a bit spotty but it looks like it will work.
