EAST SMETHPORT, Pa. (Sept. 22) — Reigning series champion Boom Briggs of Bear Lake, Pa., overtook Vic Coffey of Caledonia, N.Y., at the white flag in Sunday’s NDRL's ULMS Racing Series feature at McKean County Raceway and earned $5,000 in completing a sweep of the third-mile oval’s eighth annual Fall Classic weekend.

Briggs' victory in the RaceFan 50, which came in an event postponed one day by a Saturday rainout, pushed his total weekend earnings to $8,000 after he also earned a $3,000 ULMS victory in the weekend opener on Friday. | Slideshow

Coffey, held up by the lapped car of Chris Hackett on the frontstretch that alllowed Briggs to sweep by, settled for second at the finish with Dick Barton of Ashville, N.Y., third. Billy Decker of Unadilla, N.Y., and Rob Blair of Centerville, Pa., were fourth and fifth respectively.
