SUPRS to Compete at South Boston Speedway for First Time in Sanction’s 16 Year History

June 19, 2020 – Goshen, IN…The Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS), 16th non-wing supermodified sim racing season continues with the very first visit to the famed South Boston Speedway for the “Battle at South Boston.”

The event will use SUPRS ‘regular’ format where the drivers are lined up by the Points Won Handicap system and have to race up through the field into a transfer spot for the feature. With a great crop of rookies now eligible for their handicap, and a bunch of fast SUPRS veterans starting behind them, means the action will be non-stop from the drop of the first green flag.

The 12 degrees of banking in the corners, and 360 yard straights have allowed the supermodifieds to get down into the 11.4 second range in pre-season testing. To put that into perspective, the real NASCAR type modifieds best recorded lap at SoBo is 13.849 / 103.979 mph on the 4/10 mile asphalt oval.

Watch the Race Live

The SUPRS racers are set to “Battle at South Boston” on June 23, 2020. An extended practice session starts at 8:00pm. Racing gets underway at 9:05pm with the first of two schedule 10 lap qualifying Heat Races. The Battle at South Boston 45 lap non-wing supermodified sim racing feature is expected to take the green flag at around 9:30pm ET.

Come cheer on your favorite SUPRS racers at the virtual version of this historic racetrack. Enjoy chat, timing, scoring, instant track telemetry and of course our outstanding live streaming video from the Battle at South Boston via the SUPRS LIVE! page.

June 14, 2020 – Goshen, IN…The Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS),  15th Annual Jim Shampine Memorial is June 16, 2020 at Oswego Speedway and the race honors the memory of the man that helped shape modern supermodified racing.

Shampine the Legend

Jim Shampine was a seven-time Oswego Speedway Champion that not only won more feature events at Oswego Speedway, (87), than any other driver, but also has three Oswego Speedway International Classic 200 wins to his name, is a two-time winner of the Star Speedway International Classic 200, helped found, and was the 1977 International Supermodified Association champion, and is known as the father of the modern radical off-set supermodified.

Prior to his death in the 1982 Modified 200 at Oswego Speedway, Shampine’s legacy was already well established and continues on to this day as one the one most talked about in all supermodified circles across the country.

Supermodified Sim Racing Action Continues June 9 at Oswego Speedway

June 7, 2020 – Goshen, IN…This Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS), keeps the summer supermodified sim racing season going on June 9 with a “Regular 45” at Oswego Speedway.

One of Three NASCAR Heat Races

HeatFinder 2016 logo
HeatFinder has helped bring the NASCAR Heat community together since 2008.

The June 9 race is the first of three races that will use the NASCAR Heat sim racing platform.  This race is also part of the SUPRS/HeatFinder.net NASCAR Heat Supermodified Challenge which is open to the public. The only requirement is that a driver has registered his intent to compete as a Silver Crest division driver using the SUPRS join form, and has downloaded the SUPRS NW2 mod and SUPRS Oswego Speedway v2 for NASCAR Heat. Both are available at TheModSquad.info as well as SUPRS.net.

Ohh on a Roll

Last week Dave “SpeedyMan” Ohh stayed on a roll, winning his tenth SUPRS feature in 11 starts after picking up his first SUPRS Port City Kick-Off victory. Ohh is one of the most accomplished NASCAR Heat sim racers of all time and is expected to be the class of the field once again this week. He’ll have to hustle though, as the format places drivers with better finishes towards the back, and he’s only going to have 45 laps to get to the front.
