Pevely, MO (April 16th, 2016) Fans and drivers were treated to fast and smooth track conditions that provided some excellent side by side racing at Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55.

Michael Kloos would take the UMP DIRTcar Late Model feature win. Kloos started front row pole in the feature and would battle early on with Tim Ratajczyk. After a few laps, Kloos settled into the top spot while the action behind him was intense. Ken Rumble, Billy Laycock, Cody Conner were having a great battle in the top five. Meanwhile, Rusty Griffaw took the cushion on the high side and began charging to the front from his tenth place starting spot. It wouldn't take Griffaw long to move all the way up to the second spot and he began reeling in Kloos for the top spot. As Griffaw moved in on Kloos to battle for the lead, the caution would fly with just three laps remaining. On the restart, Kloos got a good restart and opened a few car lengths on Griffaw who went to the top. Kloos would also move to the top to protect the spot but Ken Rumble made it a three way battle for the lead by using the low side. Kloos would prove too tough as he edged out Griffaw for the win with Rumble a close third. Cody Conner took fourth and Jeff Herzog made a late race surge to finish fifth.

Nick Hoffman came back to his old home town area and got his first ever feature win at Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55. Nick Hoffman, who now lives in Mooresville, NC spent most of his Saturday nights as a kid sitting in the grandstands at Federated Auto Parts Raceway at I-55 watching his dad Darrel Hoffman and his uncle Dean Hoffman battle for wins on this track. One of the cars Nick would have to battle to get the win was with his uncle Dean. The two raced side by side for several laps before Nick got past him. Nick would then move in on leader Michael Long. Nick used the low side to power past Long for the top spot with just six laps remaining. Long would fight back using different lines around the track, but Nick Hoffman would hold him off to get the win. Long would finish second with Rick Conoyer taking third. Dean Hoffman would finish fourth and Dave Armstrong fifth.
