March 21, 2020 – Goshen, IN… The Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS), “Western Swing” really gets rolling on March 24 with the Show Me State 50 at I-70 Speedway in Odessa, MO. This is the third year now that SUPRS has visited the high-banked 1/2 mile as part of the Western Swing that started last week in Wisconsin at Madison Int’l Speedway and ends in California on April 29 with the 16th Annual Summit Classic 125 at Madera Speedway.
Two Races, Two Cautions, Two Winners
In the inaugural Show Me State 50 back in 2018, Nelson Rodrigues won a thrilling 50 lap feature that had just one caution and took only twelve minutes to complete. Then last year, Keith Powell won another barn-burner in a race that also had just one caution, but three different leaders. It too was a fast one as it took only 12:06 minutes to complete. 2019 Icings on Top Rookie of the Year contenders, Dave Ohh, and Brad Keysor followed Powell across the line less than one second behind.
Considering how tough it is to keep the car under control over the rough pavement and high-speed banks, it was a surprise to everyone that the first two races nearly went caution free.
Taking it to the Banks on Tuesday
SUPRS Western Swing rolls on with the Show Me State 50 on Tuesday March 24, 2020 at I-70 Speedway in Odessa, MO. Practice begins at 8:00pm with Time Trials 8:30pm.
