SUPRS Thanksgiving Break
November 3, 2014 – Goshen, IN…This week the Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series will embark on what most consider the toughest swing series of the season. The 11th Annual North Carolina Swing 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 4th 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 6 where the winner of challenging “Hickory Hustle 75″ will be crowned North Carolina Swing Champion.
To date there has only ever been one driver to win the North Carolina Swing more than once, that being “Mighty” Myles Maxon when he did it back to back in 2009 and 2010. Maxon is on a hot-streak with his Tamarack Golf Club, The Swamp supermodified having won three of the four races run so far this season and is expected to be a threat if he is able to make all of the shows.
With 20 bonus points on the line to the driver that can pull off this challenging feat, the SUPRS Stars are sure to be out in full force trying to get into the invitation only Hickory Hustle.
The Hickory Hustle takes the top eight in points after the first four races and pits them against each other with a random start and within the tight confines of Hickory Motor Speedway. It’s just one more reason the North Carolina Swing crown is one of the most sought after for the SUPRS drivers.
