November 3, 2014 – Goshen, IN…This week the Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series will embark on what most consider the toughest swing series of the season. The 11th Annual North Carolina Swing features five different tracks in three nights of racing all based in North Carolina. As the racers vie for the coveted North Carolina Swing Championship Crown they will also be racing for points in the Gold Crest Wing Supermodified Championship.

 The series kicks off Tuesday, November 4th at Dasera Speedway and Caraway Speedway, moves to Concord Motorsports Park and Coastal Plains Speedway the next night and finishes off  at Hickory Motor Speedway on Thursday, November 6 where the winner of challenging “Hickory Hustle 75″ will be crowned North Carolina Swing Champion.

To date there has only ever been one driver to win the North Carolina Swing more than once, that being “Mighty” Myles Maxon when he did it back to back in 2009 and 2010. Maxon is on a hot-streak with his Tamarack Golf Club, The Swamp supermodified having won three of the four races run so far this season and is expected to be a threat if he is able to make all of the shows.

With 20 bonus points on the line to the driver that can pull off this challenging feat, the SUPRS Stars are sure to be out in full force trying to get into the invitation only Hickory Hustle.

The Hickory Hustle takes the top eight in points after the first four races and pits them against each other with a random start and within the tight confines of Hickory Motor Speedway. It’s just one more reason the North Carolina Swing crown is one of the most sought after for the SUPRS drivers.

Myles Maxon 2 for 3 in SUPRS Competition, Steve Callahan Brings Home First ESS Championship

Myles Maxon had no practice, started fourth and then methodically worked his way to the front of the pack, passing leader Bob Gangwer with 15 laps to go to claim his second Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series win of the season. The Byron Brawl was the final Empire State Super Series race and was held at Byron2 Speedway. Steve Callahan crossed the line in fourth place finishing well enough to seal the 2013-14 ESS Championship, his first.

“This was one heckuva race and a challenge to keep the car clean. I want to say congratulations to Steve on the ESS Championship,” said Maxon.

Gangwer held onto second with Carl Becker having a fine run and ending the night in third place.

Earlier in the evening, Becker briefly held the track record, but Maxon mastered the flats of Byron2 to steal the record away with just one lap and a blistering lap of 10.560 to Becker’s 10.655.

SUPRS will take a week off then be back in action on October 28, 2014 with the annual Black Kat Klassic held at Decatur Speedway. Practice begins at 8:00pm, Time Trials are at 8:45pm and Racing gets underway at 9:00pm.
