April 23, 2023 – Clovis, CA…The Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS), with regrets to fans and followers, has declared that the 2023 Cherry Breaker 63 supermodified sim race on Monday April 24 at Madera Speedway has been canceled due to a lack of entries. The SUPRS LIVE! broadcast has also been canceled for the evening. However, the Time Trial draw and a short practice session will take place and the cameras will be rolling albeit without commentary.
The deadline for a driver to submit a registration indicating that he was planning on racing the Cherry Breaker was met with just two entries. Danny Ray, and Daniel Nans were the only drivers of nine eligible that entered. SUPRS official had announced that at least four of the eligible drivers needed to affirm their intent to compete or the race would be canceled.
Monday Schedule Revised
Because of the cancellation of the special invitation only Cherry Breaker 63, Monday’s schedule has been revised. The 19th Annual Summit Classic practice session that was to take place following the race for drivers that had never won a SUPRS wing supermodified feature event, will now take the slot left open from the Cherry Breaker 63 cancellation and moves up about an hour.
The revised schedule for Monday April 24, 2023 is now:
rFactor Wing Supermodified
- 8:00pm-Drivers’ Meeting
- 8:10pm-Time Trial and Practice Group Draw
- 8:20pm-Practice Session 1
- Group A-B Summit Classic Rookies (no more than six cars per group-6 lap sessions)
- 8:30pm-Practice Session 2

- 8:40pm–Practice Session 3

- 9:00pm-ALL SERVERS CLOSED
At this time the remainder of the schedule for the week remains the same.
Hammer Down Tuesday for Pole Night
On Tuesday the drivers will search for all the speed they can find as they try to set one of the top two fastest laps on Pole Night for the 19th Annual SUPRS Summit Classic 125. Only the top two drivers are locked into the feature through Time Trials which start at 8:35pm. Qualifying Heats and B-Main if needed will follow. The race has been won from the Pole Position 11 times and from no worse than sixth starting place, so starting up front is key.
Drivers that did not make a draw on Monday will not be eligible to qualify and will lose their Guaranteed Starter status if they have one.
Final Race of Season is Summit Classic on Wednesday
