Pevely, MO (July 30th, 2003) It was huge night at I-55 Raceway as eight NASCAR stars gathered to help raise money for Kyle & Pattie Petty's Victory Junction Gang Camp. The 2nd Annual M&M Night of Stars brought in NASCAR drivers Tony Stewart, Kevin Harvick, Kenny Wallace, Ken Schrader, Carl Edwards, Rick Crawford, Jason Keller and Kyle Petty. The eight drivers signed autographs before the races and then all eight buckled into eight UMP/IMCA type Dirt Works Modifieds for a special ten lap match race. NASCAR Craftsman Truck ace Rick Crawford worked his way around Kyle Petty on lap four and then held off track co-owner Ken Schrader for the win. It was Crawford's first time to race any type of car and dirt and he appeared to be a natural, by making smooth fast laps while the other seven drivers battled side by side. Kevin Harvick found trouble on the final lap as he got into the outside wall in turn three. Harvick simply stated that it was his first time on dirt and that he was a terrible dirt driver. Three of the NASCAR drivers also buckled up to compete with fourty-one other UMP Late Model drivers in the UMP Challenge of Champions Series event. Tony Stewart, Ken Schrader and Carl Edwards took their best shot at the dirt professionals. But it was seventeen year old Justin Allgaier who stole the show in the UMP Late Model division. Allgaier put on a dominating performance by leading all thirty laps of the main event and went basically unchallenged for the lead. The twenty-six laps of the event went caution free and Allgaier was able to put many good cars a lap down. Ken Schrader gave chase to Allgaier but could never get close enough to mount a serious challenge. The big battle was for the third position, as four drivers battled for almost the entire thirty laps for it. Randy Korte, Ed Dixon, Terry English and Tony Stewart were slicing through traffic battling side by side for the position. On the final lap entering turn one, Tony Stewart jumped the cushion and got into the turn one wall hard, the car climbed the wall and did a complete barrell roll flip back into traffic and collected Ed Dixon, Brian Collins and Dave Jumper. Stewart was not injured and Dixon was the only car able to restart. On the final restart, Allgaier held of the challenge of Schrader for the one lap sprint to the checkered flag and picked up the biggest win of his young career. Randy Korte out battled Terry English to pick up the third position. Ed Dixon followed English across the line in fifth place. Joey Montgomery win wasn't a popular one with the fans in the winged sprint car division. Danny Smith led the first twenty-four laps of the twenty-five lap event. However, Montgomery made a challenge for the lead through turn four on the final lap and the two made contact, sending Smith flipping into the front straight wall and fence. Montgomery crossed the finish line taking the checkered flag. Jarrod Hull was credited with second place, Jan Howard third, Jim Moughan fourth and Dale Howard was fifth. The event was marred with multiple crashes. Damon Kronk was the first to crash as he made contact with another car causing him to crash hard into the inside retaining wall on the front stretch. Then Bryan Matthews and Lowe Cannell got together and crashed into the wall on the front stretch just one lap later. On lap twelve, Tommy Worley had the most violent crash as he got into the turn one wall and flipped several times as he was hit by another car. Worley's car then burst into flames. A quick responding fire crew had the fire out within seconds and Worley climbed from the car uninjured.
