March 2, 2019 – Carson City, NV…The Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS), is half-way through the “Winter Western Swing” and now begins to head back east with a stop at The Bullring in Las Vegas for the Jeff Russell Special 85. This supermodified sim race will help raise awareness about it’s namesake, who continues to recover from injuries in a 2010 supermodified crash at this track.
SUPRS Wants You to Know
It is the goal of SUPRS to help people remember that Russell, a native of Boise, ID, continues to heal from injuries incurred during the last practice session for the Supermodified Racing Association, (SMRA), ”Night of Fire” event at The Bullring in Las Vegas, NV on October 30, 2010.
Jeff continues to recover from Traumatic Brain Injury and has fought hard to learn how to walk, talk, and function normally since his accident. His battle is not over, and probably never will be, but with his dogged determination and the never-ending support of his family, he has come further than many ever believed he could.

Jeff’s medical bills have been hard on his family, but you can help. During the race and from March 5 to March 12, 2019, all donations to the Dion Parish Memorial Benevolent Fund for Supermodifieds will benefit the Jeff Russell Road to Recovery Fund.
