New England 50 Moves to Lee USA Speedway
April 5, 2019 – Manchester, NH…The Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS) heads to Lee USA Speedway Tuesday, April 9, 2019 for the New England 50 and it will be the first time that this well-known speedplant hosts the annual supermodified sim racing show.
Lee USA Speedway a Natural Host for Race
With so many fantastic and historical tracks in New England and available to run in both NASCAR Heat and rFactor, the sanction decided to rotate the event throughout these East Coast ovals on an annual basis. Because of the history of supermodified racing at Lee USA Speedway, including big-block and 350 supermodifieds, as well as being host to the only NASCAR Weekly Series supermodified track, Lee USA Speedway is a natural host to this race.
In 2017, the always popular “Xtreme Tuesday” went through a name change and became the “New England 50.” The original event was modeled after the International Supermodified Association, (ISMA), race of the same name but when ISMA stopped running this show on an annual basis, SUPRS came up with a new idea.
