SUPRS St. Patrick’s Day Grab O’ the Green Supermodified Sim Race to be Run at Madison International Speedway
March 15, 2020 – Goshen, IN…After a two year run at Rocky Mountain Raceways, the Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS), popular St. Patrick’s Day Grab O’ the Green supermodified sim race is moving to Madison International Speedway on March 17. This makes the fifth different track that the race had been held at since 2004.
First Time in WI for SUPRS
The 2020 St. Patrick’s Day Grab O’ the Green will be the first time SUPRS has contested a race in the state of WI. Although the sanction planned a race at the Milwaukee Mile in the early days of the sanction, the date fell through.
Works Well with Western Swing
While there may not have ever been a lot of supermodified racing in a state famous for turning out late model stock car legends like Joe Shear, Tom Reffner, Alan Kulwicki, Dick Trickle, and the Sauter family, to name a few, but it makes sense to run a show at Madison according to SUPRS co-founder Bob Gangwer. “For us, this year, after re-arranging the Western Swing, it just made sense to do something in Wisconsin,” said Gangwer. “I know it’s not a place where supermodifieds have run much, if at all, but sometimes, when the calendar aligns right, and it’s an chance to run a new track in a state that SUPRS has never run, and it’s a place where there is a great history that we can educate people in the sim racing community about, then we should try it out.”
