United Midwestern Promoters (UMP) is a short track racing sanctioning body in the United States that sanctions short track racing on dirt race tracks from 1/5 mile (0.3 km) in length to 1-mile (1.6 km) in length. UMP currently sanctions eight different racing divisions on over 100 tracks in 19 states and one province in Canada. UMP was created in 1984 by Bob Memmer.

UMP began by sanctioning UMP Late Model and UMP Modified cars. UMP Modified cars are quite similar in appearance to IMCA Modified cars.
UMP reorganized their class system in 2007 by sanctioning one new class. The revised class system included: UMP Super Late Models, UMP Modifieds, UMP Pro(Crate) Late Models, UMP Limited Modifieds, UMP Sportsman, and UMP Street Stocks, UMP Factory Stocks,& UMP 4 Cylinders. UMP announced in late November 2007 that the sanctioning body will add one more class: UMP Pro (Crate) Late Model.[1]
UMP DIRTcar currently sanctions different touring series.
UMP has a base points system for all its sanctioned tracks and is the same for each of its seven classes.[3]
If a track has 20 or fewer cars they will receive the base points. Every car over 20 increases the bonus points awarded. The bonus points are one extra point for every car in that division over 20. So if an event has 20 entries, then the winner gets 75 points. With 32 entries, the winner gets 75 + 12 bonus points for a total of 87 points. Every car in the feature that night receives 12 extra points. Any car that does not make the feature will receive 10 points regardless of how many cars are there.
Replacement races are based on where drivers finish, not on how many cars there are. There is a cap on points. The most points a feature winner can get is 90 points.
Bonus Points= 1 point for every car in the pits over 20 in their division in the pits that night.
UMP Racing Points Breakdown for all eight UMP racing divisions. 1st-75, 2nd-70, 3rd-65, 4th-60, 5th-58, 6th-56, 7th-54, 8th-52, 9th-50 10th-48, 11th-46, 12th-44, 13th-42, 14th-40, 15th 38, 16th-36, 17th-34, 18th-32, 19th-30, 20th-28, 21st-26, 22nd-24, 23rd-22, 24th-20.
