Myles Maxon Wins SUPRS April Fools 50 on the Dirt at Twisted Metal Raceway
Bridge, NJ – March 31, 2015…Myles Maxon, driving his Swamp Monster sponsored by Tamarack Golf Club set a new track record, then muddied the competition Tuesday night at Twisted Metal Raceway in the Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series April Fools 50. Ray Sand, Jr. and Steve Callahan were left to scrape the mud from their visors in second and third places.
Yeah the Swamp Monster was a little bit of a mud bogger here tonight,” began Myles Maxon. “I got a good set up and was able to get the car sideways to where it wasn’t plowing and I just kinda fell onto something that worked.”
Maxon echoed the sentiments of most of the SUPRS racers when he added, “This was something a little bit different but I’ll be glad to get back on the pavement next week.”
With his vast experience and multiple wins and championships racing a 600cc mini-sprint on the dirt in life, second place finisher Ray Sand, Jr. was the early favorite to win the show and led the first 14 laps of the race before Maxon got by. “The Sandman” was the only other driver on the lead lap with Maxon at the end of the race. He was unavailable for comment after the race.
Third place finisher Steve Callahan had a good run going with the top two until he had a slight mishap. “Yeah I think I got some dirt in my eye and put it in the front stretch wall,” he explained. “Congrats to Myles on the win, like he said, this was fun but I’ll be glad to get back on the pavement next week.”
The SUPRS racers will indeed be back on the pavement as they head up the coast to New Hampshire for the 5th Annual SUPRS All-Star Classic 200 at All-Star Speedway on April 6. This race is the first leg of the SUPRS Triple-Crown for the 2015 season and will take place on the track designed by Doug “Flash” Forgue exclusively for SUPRS. Practice gets rolling at 8:00pm.
