Pevely, MO (June 12, 2004) There was rain all around the area but Mother Nature held off and allowed for some great action at I-55 Raceway. Clay Baumann took his first ever U.M.P.

Kevin Gundaker looked to be the man to beat early on as he jumped out to the early lead, but Baumann chased him down and the two swapped the lead back and fourth until the first caution came out on lap nineteen.
