March 7, 2023 – Jennerstown, PA…After a close battle with Carl Becker and Gary Waldron for the first half of the race, Bob Gangwer won the Supermodified Ulimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS), Randy Witkum Memorial for the fourth time in his career. Gangwer’s win puts him at the top of the list of drivers with most wins in this 125 race that honors the memory of the late Randy Witkum who lost his life at Jennerstown in 1999.
The ageless veteran, Carl Becker, led the most laps of the race after starting from the outside of the front row. Becker, who turns 80 years old in May held off teammate Gary Waldron and finished second. Waldron, who’s been a SUPRS member since 2004, and has two Randy Witkum Memorial wins to his credit, was in the thick of the battle for the lead but had to settle for a podium when the checkers flew.
