ULMS To Sanction Super Late Models Dave Kittey Memorial

 

LATROBE, PA (July 17, 2024): Finally, the race we’ve all been waiting for, the Jay’s Automotive ULMS Racing Series, brings the robust Super Late Models to the Latrobe Speedway for the Dave Kittey Memorial.

 

Dave Kittey was involved in auto racing from a young age. His father owned race cars and promoted race tracks. Dave Kittey loved the sport and never took a break from it until his passing on August 23, 2022.

 

Latrobe Speedway, formerly known as Schmuckers Speedway, the track that Dave’s family once promoted, will honor Dave Kittey with the Dave Kittey Memorial on Saturday, July 20, at 7 pm.

The Jay’s Automotive ULMS Racing Super Late Models return to Latrobe to be part of this celebration of life for the former Co-Publisher and Editor of RPM Racing News. Kittey was a voting member of the National Dirt Late Model Fall of Fame, and RPM Racing News presented the Late Model Driver of the Year Award.

 

Dave Kittey, a passionate fan of Super Late Model racing, had dedicated many years to traveling to the biggest events, showcasing his love for the sport.
