UMP Summer Nationals

The UMP Summernationals is a month long UMP sanctioned late-model series tour that travels to nearly 30 tracks throughout Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee, Missouri, and Ohio from June-July each year. Fans can further their enjoyment while at a series race by listening to the track officials and Raceciever channel on their scanner. Drivers cannot use radios to communicate with their crew or a spotter per UMP rules, but instead are required to monitor the Raceceiver channel while on the track for information from the race coordinator concerning lineup order and cautions.

[edit] General Information

2008 Series Schedule

New for 2007, the UMP Summernationals series is using Raceceiver radios. The frequency is 454.000 (CSQ). However, the Raceceiver radios aren't used at all events (ex. in 2008 they were used at Highland, but not at Belle Clair or Mt Vernon).

If you don't already know the track frequency, Using CloseCall/Signal Stalker or scanning the itinerant frequencies will generally yield the frequency. If not, search between 151-160 MHz and 451-470 MHz. For more information about finding dirt track frequencies, check the Dirt Track Racing Frequencies wiki page.
