Fourth Witkum Memorial Win for Warren

Rob Warren Wins Fourth Career Randy Witkum Memorial 125, Most All-Time

April 4, 2019 – Jennerstown, PA…Rob Warren made Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS), history as the first four-time Randy Witkum Memorial 125 winner Tuesday night at Jennerstown Speedway. The 125 lap race was the last stop of SUPRS 14th Annual Keystone Nationals and Warren’s win propelled him to his fourth Keystone Nationals Championship, tying Myles Maxon for the most all-time. Bob Gangwer, and Keith Powell completed the podium in the grueling supermodified sim race.

Stressful Win for Warren

“It was a stressful yet amazing race. I tried to maintain the car, but the field caught up quick when we got to lap 100,” Warren said. “That added dramatically to the stress level and about made my heart pound out of my chest.”

When asked where this win ranked verses the previous three, Warren said, “Years ago it seemed so much easier. I lapped the field in this race once. The field has gotten faster or I’m not taking care of my equipment like I used to, so I think this is was the toughest one to win.”

Warren Wins Fourth Keystone Nationals Championship

After winning the first race and coming home with a second place at Nazareth, Rob Warren tallied enough points to bring home his fourth Keystone Nationals Championship and gains 15 bonus points for doing so.

Keystone Nationals Perfect Attendance
