Even more bonus points are on the line with drivers having a shot at the SUPRS DoubleDown of 25 bonus markers if they can win both features, the SUPRSCharger which awards 10 extra points, in each feature race, to the driver that advances the most positions from his starting spot, and the SUPRSChallenge hands over 20 bonus points if a driver wins either feature from the last starting place.

First Time Since 2009 for Double Header of Supermodifieds and Modifieds at New Hampshire Mile

Goshen, IN – February 14, 2020…Is it Washington’s Birthday? Is it Lincoln’s Birthday? Is it even a holiday? Whatever it is to you, on February 18, 2020 it’s a way for the Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS), and the NASCAR Heat sim racing community to honor the office of The President of the United States of America. And for the first time since 2009, the supermodifieds, and the mighty modifieds, will share a double dip of excitement on the mile at New Hampshire International Speedway.

NASCAR Heat Community Meets at NHIS

The NASCAR Heat community featuring the best drivers of The Mod Squad, HeatFinder, NHRL, and SUPRS will come together to race supermodifieds and modifieds in two separate NASCAR Heat sim racing shows on the same night at New Hampshire International Speedway.

Supermodified Format

The supermodified portion of the event will be contested with SUPRS NASCAR Heat wing supermodifieds, (SUPRS W v6). The supermods are the under-card and get their night started at 7:15pm with Hot Laps. Time Trials, and Heat Races lead up to the the 25 lap feature scheduled to the take the green flag at 8:10pm.

Modified Format

Following a quick break to switch race and voice servers, the TMS Super HEAT Modified Tour hits the track at 8:45pm for a quick five minute Hot Lap session. This is followed by Time Trials at 8:55pm, and the SUPRS TMS Presidents’ Day Modified 75 presented by HeatFinder feature at 9:05pm.

Presidents’ Day Facts

While the real meaning of the Presidents’ Day holiday is a bit murky, the facts are known about SUPRS Presidents’ Day Special, at least for the supermodifieds. The first edition was run in 2005 at New River Valley Speedway and was won by John “Bud” Flath of New Jersey. From 2006 to 2008, New Hampshire International Speedway played host to the Presidents’ Day Special, then was not run from 2009 to 2013.

SUPRS Weekly cover February 19, 2009 shows the last time the supermodifieds and modifieds ran on the same card at New Hampshire International Speedway.
Here’s the SUPRS Weekly cover from the last time the supermodifieds and the modifieds shared the Presidents’ Day Special billing at New Hampshire Int’l Speedway.

Since the return of the race in 2014, it’s been run back at New River Valley, The Bullring, and Buckley Speedway. The Presidents’ Day Special has used both the NASCAR Heat and rFactor sim racing platforms and has varied in length from 25 to 75 laps depending on what track was used.

On the modified side, the history of the race isn’t as readily available. What we do know is that Chris Heveron was the winner the last time the modifieds raced with the supermodifieds at NHIS. In a race that had 14 starters, Heveron led 113 of the 125 laps and won by thirteen seconds. Myles Maxon was third and Chris Meyers, the leader of the first 12 laps finished third. Six cars finished the race on the lead lap and it took 54:14.2. minutes to run.

Free Live Streaming Available

Fans will be able to enjoy live streaming video of both divisions on the SUPRS Broadcasting Network and can tune in to SUPRS LIVE! beginning at 8pm ET for all the action.
