SUPRS Thanksgiving BreakDominant Run by Keith Powell for SUPRS 16th Anniversary Special Win
November 5, 2019 – Goshen, IN…The Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS), celebrated its 16th Anniversary of sim racing with a 75 lap feature at Quarter Speedway on Election Day which was won in dominant fashion by Keith “Put One on Ya” Powell of Carrollton, OH.
Powell, who, of all the drivers present, had been a SUPRS member the longest, took full advantage of the pole position that his SUPRS tenure rewarded him with, led all 75 laps of the feature, set the fastest lap of the race, and won by over six seconds. Current point leader Rob Warren finished second, and SUPRS co-founder Bob Gangwer, who elected to start at the tail of the field, rallied to third place.
Happy to Win in Special Car
Ironically, Powell, even though he has been a SUPRS member since November 7, 2005, (and only two other drivers besides SUPRS co-founders, John Davidson and Bob Gangwer have been SUPRS members longer than Powell), didn’t have his own car in the game.
That wasn’t a problem though for the long-time crew member of the real supermodified race team, May Motorsports. He felt right at home driving the red #7 that real racer Charlie Schultz had used in SUPRS competition so many years back. “It feels pretty good to get a victory in this car,” said Powell. “There’s a lot of history behind this car and I’m super excited to bag this one. To win this one on SUPRS anniversary, it’s pretty neat to bring it home in this car.”
After talking about how much fun he had, Powell took time to thank those involved for helping him to enjoy his race saying, “Congrats to SUPRS for just being around as long as they have been. I’ve got to thank 1st to Finish Race Servers, Kevin Timmins, Breeze Graphics, and Hairbag Studios for all the cool production they do, Icings on Top, CPR Motorsports, and May’s Garage. I’m really excited to win this one here tonight. We’ll definitely ride this one until next week.”
