Wheel spacers are permitted to allow for wheel clearance around brake components. No less than 3" minimum backspacing, including the width added by the spacers. Longer wheel studs are allowed.

All cars with 150-180 factory horsepower will add 150 lbs. Cars with 180 to 200 horsepower cars will add 200 lbs.

In an effort to accommodate cars with different stock hubs and fender clearances the Walls' Roofing UCAR Clash has clarified the rules to allow a greater variety of aftermarket wheels. The rule now reads as follows: Aftermarket wheels allowed. 7” max. 3” max offset. Both 3”and 4” backspacing wheels allowed. Stock (OEM) steel wheels or aluminum wheels permitted.

This change is not to allow anyone a competitive advantage but for safety reasons.

Thanks, Larry P. Walls

The UCAR Clash will visit Rockingham Motor Speedway for the first time on April 1, 2012. The series' cars will race on the Little Rock, which is located behind the main speedway of NASCAR fame. The Little Rock is a 1/2 mile replica of Martinsville Speedway. The UCAR Clash will race on a 1/4 mile portion that uses half of the "Little Rock".

Langdon wins in epic race for UCAR Clash

Larry Walls is no stranger to big races, but the New Years Day UCAR Clash Race may have been his biggest, most-important event yet.

By all accounts, he passed the test. With a huge field of 27 of the best stock four cylinder cars to ever run on an oval, the $500 to win January showdown was a battle for the ages.

Todd Langdon cruised to victory for his second win in as many races, fighting from a third row starting spot to take the lead after a late caution. It's Langdon's third Clash win.

Jimmy Waller, Sammy Pacitti, Keith Brame Jr., Jonathan Belfore and Barry Wilson rounded out the top-six finishers.

Micheal Neal set fast time for the race with an unofficial track-record 19.60 qualifying time, but was forced to start 7th due to an invert for the feature event. That gave Brame Jr., the 2009 UCAR Clash champion, the top starting spot in his first race back to the series in two years.

Once the green flag flew, Brame took an early lead in his borrowed car, but couldn't hold off Waller or Neal, who eventually passed both Brame and Waller for the lead.

All that would change on lap 23 when Dillon regular Kayla Dean made contact with the turn-4 wall, then across the track into the leader Neal. Dean was transported to the hospital for minor injuries, and the race was delayed by both a crash and rain for more than 10 minutes.

That set up a 5-lap shootout for the finish, with Langdon driving off into the sunset to continue his win-streak.

It's a new season for the Walls' Roofing UCAR Clash and Larry Walls has something to say,

"We're back!"

After a season of low car counts, controversy and the struggle to survive an economic downturn, the series known in 2009 as the fastest growing touring series in America has returned to its former glory. No where is that more evident than at Dillon, where a tradition is being built when all other regional tracks are taking a break for winter.

"This race is important to us, we are trying to build on it and make it bigger every year," Walls said. "Next year it will be a points race."

It wasn't just the number of cars, but the quality of the field that stood out on New Years day. It was a champion's field with Ace Speedway champion Barry Wilson, Ace runner-up Michael Neal, Coastal Plains Raceway champ Jonathan Belfore, Wake County Speedway stock-4 champ Jessie Duke, UCAR Clash champ Brame Jr. and the 1st and 2nd place cars from Orange County Speedway.

The event was only a handful of cars short of the all-time record car count set at Wake County speedway in 2008. Walls hopes this will prompt more drivers to race the Clash in 2012, and put the UCAR touring series back on the map

Stay tuned for full results from Dillon soon.
