Gary Waldron, Bob Gangwer Win Thrillers at IRP
March 27, 2013 – Claremont, IN…Two Great Lakes racers held down the fort and took home wins in the Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS), Indyana Supermod Challenge at Indianapolis Raceway Park on Tuesday. Gary Waldron of Wyoming, MI led all 50 laps of the winged supermodified feature and Bob Gangwer of Goshen, IN, ironically, passed Waldron’s teammate, Carl Becker on lap 37 of the non-wing supermodified feature to take the closest feature finish in the history of the race. Gangwer beat Ray Sand, Jr. by a scant one-thousandth of a second at the line.
Gangwer may have won the battle of the non-wing feature, but Sand, Jr. won the war by claiming the overall Indyana Supermod Challenge Championship with 254 points. It is his second such championship in a row.
SUPRS next race is the 9th Annual Billy Vukovich III Classic presented by Supermodified Scorecard on April 2 at Mesa Marin Raceway.
