Scott Winters has enjoyed success over the past several years racing at the Cedar Lake Speedway, so in his first appearance of the 2009 season it came as no surprise to see his #23w sprinter sitting in Victory Lane at the end of a night that saw him record a clean sweep. It was also Scott's first UMSS sprint race of the season, and he snapped Jerry Richert Jr's four race winning streak in UMSS action on a very well-prepared track to kick off the 11th Annual Masters weekend at the famed western Wisconsin oval on Thursday June 18. Following his victory, Winters immediately headed to the scales before returning to celebrate his win in Victory Lane.

Jerry Richert Jr continued his winning ways, as the Forest Lake driver earned his fourth straight victory in UMSS feature race action at the Kopellah Speedway on Friday evening June 12. Richert earned $1,000 for his triumph, as a last minute bonus announced at the drivers meeting by GRP Motorsports boosted the first place payout. Leigh Thomas led the first eight laps before a bobble entering turn one allowed Richert to swoop underneath him for the top spot. Richert was able to race ahead of the field during the remainder of the 20 lap feature. Richert indicated, "It's great to keep the winning streak alive.
