North Carolina Swing is Toughest Multi-Race Swing on the Schedule

October 28, 2016 – Goshen, IN…The Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS),  racers have begun to prepare themselves for the grueling 13th Annual North Carolina Swing which will take place from November 2-4 featuring five different tracks in three nights of racing all based in North Carolina.

As the racers vie for the coveted North Carolina Swing Championship Crown they will also be racing for points in the Gold Crest Wing Supermodified Championship and this year will be all the more challenging with a new venue and two sim racing platforms.

The series kicks off Tuesday, November 2 at Dasera Speedway and Caraway Speedway using the SUPRS W v6.0 mod for NASCAR Heat, then moves to Concord Motorsports Park, and for the first time, Southern National Motorspots Park on November 3 using the new SUPRS W v7.0 mod for rFactor.

Once the points are tallied from the first four races, invitations to the top eight, plus two alternates will be sent asking each to attend Hickory Motor Speedway on Friday, November 4 where the winner of challenging “Hickory Hustle 75″ will be crowned the 2016-17 North Carolina Swing Champion.

To date, there has been just one driver to win the North Carolina Swing Championship more than once. “Mighty” Myles Maxon. He first did it back to back in 2009 and 2010. Last year Ray Sand, Jr. and Bob Gangwer were looking to join Maxon as multi-time North Carolina Swing champions, but Rob Warren, after nearly sweeping night two for the third year in a row, held off both at the Hickory Hustle to claim his first NC Swing crown.

Steve Callahan has one of the best finishing records in the history of The Hickory Hustle, yet has never been able to win the race or the North Carolina Swing Championship. While work kept him out of the hunt last year, Callahan will be a driver to watch throughout the North Carolina Swing.

Callahan’s teammate Keith Powell is coming off his first SUPRS Championship after just narrowly edging out Rob Warren for the 2015 Gold Crest Non-Wing crown and has shown a lot of speed during pre-season testing, while Joe Achzet, Derrick Backus, 2015 NW Icings on Top Rookie of the Year Kyle Clark, Chad Phelps, Kevin Timmins, Dave Brigandi, Domenic Gioia, Joey Callahan, and others are looking to make it into the Hickory Hustle and etch their names on the list of first time North Carolina Swing champions.

The Hickory Hustle takes the top eight in points after the first four races and pits them against each other with a random start at Hickory Motor Speedway. It’s just one more reason the North Carolina Swing crown is one of the most sought after, and hardest to win, for the SUPRS drivers.

The three-night extravaganza of supermodified sim racing features five different tracks in three nights of racing all based in North Carolina. As the racers vie for the coveted North Carolina Swing Championship Crown they will also be racing for points in the Gold Crest Wing Supermodified Championship.

The series kicks off Tuesday, November 3rd at Dasera Speedway and Caraway Speedway, moves to Concord Motorsports Park and Coastal Plains Speedway the next night and finishes off  at Hickory Motor Speedway on Thursday, November 5th where the winner of challenging “Hickory Hustle 75″ will be crowned North Carolina Swing Champion.

To date, there has been just one driver to win the North Carolina Swing Championship more than once. “Mighty” Myles Maxon. He first did it back to back in 2009 and 2010. Last year Maxon was on a hot-streak with his Tamarack Golf Club. “Swamp Monster” having won three of the first four races of the season.

Without winning a race during the Swing, he battled his way through the pack to take the lead from 2012 NC Swing Champion Carl Becker on lap 38, and then went on to win the Hickory Hustle and claim his third North Carolina Swing Championship.

The most recent winner on the SUPRS trail, Rob Warren, has swept the second night of the Swing for the last two years and will be just as much of a threat to win the overall championship again this year.

Steve Callahan has one of the best finishing records in the history of The Hickory Hustle, yet has never been able to win the race or the North Carolina Swing Championship. He had another great run last year and his third place finish was not indicative of the incredible race he ran.
