July 6, 2018 – Goshen, IN…The Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS), has reached the half-way point of their summer season of supermodified sim racing and the upcoming Gold Crest Non-Wing Supermodified Mid-Season Championship race on July 10 at Oswego Speedway could easily shake up an already tight points battle.

Top Five in Points Close
The race that features a big 100 lap feature paying double points is just the ticket that some drivers would love to cash in With first to fifth in Gold Crest Non-Wing Season Championship Points separated by just 95 points, the racing should be some of the most intense to date this summer.
Extra points, bonuses, and special points for being deemed Mid-Season Champion, mean this is the race that the SUPRS drivers look forward to as they try to make some major championship moves.
Warren, Powell, Clark Sit Up Top
At the top of the championship is 2015, 2017 Gold Crest Non-Wing Supermodified Champion Rob Warren. Not surprisingly 2016 champ Keith Powell has his sights set squarely on Warren, as the only other driver to have won a feature so far this summer. However, Powell is in third, 46 points off the top and it’s the driver that sits in second place a the moment that might be the most hungry for a good points night on July 10 – Kyle Clark.
After flipping back and forth with Powell in the first three races of the season, Clark, who has been off the podium just twice, has yet to finish out of the top five, has consistently put the pressure on the defending and former series champion, and is only 36 points out of first place overall, could easily find himself atop the heap at the of the night if he keeps his streak going.
Callahan Could Make History
Steve Callahan is coming from a great run in the last event where he scored two podium finishes in the Independence Day Twin 35s. And while he is some distance back in the overall points chase, if he can win this race he would make history as the first SUPRS driver to win more than two Gold Crest Non-Wing Supermodified Mid-Season Championship crowns.
Callahan is tied with John Davidson (2006, 2010 Non-Wing Mid-Season Champion), and Kris Heveron ( 2007-08 Non-Wing Mid-Season Champion), and Ray Sand, Jr., (2011, 2012 Non-Wing Mid-Season Champion), for most wins in this important event. Jim Crannell (2005), Devin Gee (2009), Domenic Gioia (2014), and Rob Warren (2017), are the only other racers to have scored Mid-Season Championships for the Non-Wing season. There was no race held in 2013.
