Madera, CA – February 17, 2016…Ray Sand, Jr. of Rochester, NY won the Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS), Veterans Day Special at Madera Speedway. The race was originally scheduled for November 10, 2015 at Music City Speedway, but, after Time Trials had been completed, the race was canceled at Music City and had to be rescheduled due to track issues. “The Sandman” won over Chris Meyers and Brian Potvin. Meyers and Potvin didn’t time trial on November 10 so had to start at the tail of the 75 lap feature. It was Potvin’s second podium in two days.
The race was run as part of SUPRS “Western Swing” at Madera Speedway, built in-house for SUPRS by resident track building guru, Doug “Flash” Forgue for the re-scheduled Veterans Day Special, and used rFactor and non-wing sim racing supermodifieds.
It was the first time the track will be used by SUPRS, and it’s release was still limited to the beta form. SUPRS officials felt that using the Veterans Day make-up feature was a good test bed for future use later in the season.
SUPRS racers now head to Mesa Marin Raceway for the 12th Annual Billy Vukovich III Classic, a 100 lap NASCAR Heat winged supermodified feature.
