Great Sim Racing Action Expected at SUPRS Buckeye 50

January 13, 2019 – Goshen, IN…Supermodified sim racing fans can expect close, fast, nail-biting action when the Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS), visits Mansfield Motorsports Park for the “Buckeye 50” on January 15, 2019.

2018 Show Filled with Action

The 2018 Buckeye 50 was a race that was filled with action from the drop of the green flag. Pole-sitter, Chad Phelps, was the star of the show early in the race. Holding back Rob Warren and Keith Powell, Phelps looked to be headed for the win until he looped the car and crashed into the inside wall on the backstretch.

It was then Warren’s turn to show the way around the big, banked racetrack, holding off an ever-challenging Powell and Phelps’ teammate Kyle Clark. However, Warren, like Phelps lost control of his supermodified and spun around coming out of turn two, albeit, with less damage.

It was the the Powell, Gangwer, and Clark show and for the last 10 laps of the race, the trio looked high and low as they struggled to find traction and an advantage on each other.

In the end, Powell used former leader Phelps to his advantage as a lapped car and was able to hold Gangwer and Clark at bay, finishing just .308 of a second ahead at the drop of the checkers.

The 2018 Buckeye 50 had a finish that you just have to see to believe. See it in the video below:
