United Midwestern Promoters (UMP) is a short track motor 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. In late 2002, the organization was bought by Ken Schrader, Bob Sargent, Robert Lawton and Howard Commander. In late 2004, UMP merged with Doug Bland's Xtreme DirtCar Series and was bought by Boundless, later rebranded World Racing Group.
