For Immediate Release: July 13, 2026
๐๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐ฌ๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ ๐ก, ๐๐ โ Waterford, Pennsylvaniaโs Dave Hess scored his first Jay's automotive United Late Model Series Presented by M&T Appliances victory of the 2026 season early Sunday night at Eriez Speedway, capturing the $๐,๐๐๐-๐ญ๐จ-๐ฐ๐ข๐ง ๐๐๐ญ๐ก ๐๐ง๐ง๐ฎ๐๐ฅ ๐๐ข๐ค๐ ๐

Hess, came looking to repeat what heโs accomplished leading back to 2024 and redemption from heartbreak with the tour in May. He already won the previous two MIke Farr Memorials, making Sunday nightโs victory over Darrell Bossard and Chub Frank three straight and his first win with the tour in 2026 after having one seemingly taken away in May due to mechanical failure ending his run.
The victory marked ๐๐๐ฌ๐ฌโ๐ฌ ๐๐๐ญ๐ก ๐๐๐ซ๐๐๐ซ ๐๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐๐ ๐๐๐ญ๐ ๐๐จ๐๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ซ๐ข๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ก, improving him to third all time behind only Gregg Satterlee (21) and Max Blair (43).
A strong field of 23 entries signed in on a beautiful 80-degree evening in Erie, Pennsylvania, for the makeup of the 10th Annual Mike Farr Memorial, rained out just a week prior. The pit area featured the Elite Drivers of the United Late Model Series, including several Chew On This - Jerky Rookie contenders, and several additional notable competitors such as ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐๐ ๐๐๐ญ๐ ๐๐จ๐๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ฌ ๐๐ก๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐๐ก๐ฎ๐ ๐
๐ซ๐๐ง๐ค and ๐๐๐๐/๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ก๐๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ข๐จ๐ง Mike Knight.
Knight paced the field in hot laps, but it was Hess who grabbed the top spot in qualifying and the additional $200 that went along with it. With five divisions filling the pit area, the program moved along efficiently as three heat races set the stage for the 41-lap Mike Farr Memorial main event.
Heat Race action saw Hess, Schaffer, and Bossard all cross the flagstand first picking up an additional $100 each courtesy of Close Racing Supply. Redraw had Bossard and Schaffer taking the up the front row,
At the drop of the green, Schaffer quickly jumped to the lead on the outside while Bossard applied pressure on the bottom. Frank and Genco followed as Hess searched for a better lane. Schaffer continued to lead in clear air, meanwhile Hess began to apply heavy pressure as he began rolling the middle and top picking off cars one by one. By lap eighteen, Schaffer hit lap trafficโฆ and with it Hess made his move taking a commanding lead. After a flat tire for the 7J of Bedell, Hess lead the field back to green and never looked back leading from lap 18 through 41 over Darrell Bossard and Chub Frank.
