After Year Away, SUPRS Wing Supermodified Mid-Season Championship Returns to Oswego Speedway

January 25, 2020 – Goshen, IN…After one year at Airborne Speedway, the Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS), Mid-Season Championship for winged supermodifieds returns to Oswego Speedway on January 28, 2020 for Twin 35 lap features that pay double points.

Oswego Speedway Home to Mid-Season Championship

Except for last year and from 2005-2009, the SUPRS Gold Crest Wing Mid-Season Championship has been run at Oswego Speedway.

For most of those years, including those when the race wasn’t run at Oswego, the event, has used a ‘twin’ feature format with two features on- one night, although for four years, the race had a 75 lap feature to close out the night.

Points Galore

This year, like most of the previous years, the driver that accumulates the most points from time-trials through both features is crowned the Gold Crest Wing Supermodified Mid-Season Champion.

Double Points for each feature have many drivers hoping to seize the opportunity to make a jump in the point standings, or gain a little cushion in the close contest among the current top five.

Other bonus point paying awards are available during the night including:

  • SUPRSCharger – both features (10 points paid to the driver that advances the most places from his starting spot)
  • SUPRSChallenge – both features (20 points paid to the driver that starts last and wins the race)
  •  DoubleDown (25 points paid any driver that can sweep the wins for both features)
  • Mid-Season Champion Bonus (15 points. Tally of all points throughout the night)
2019-20 Mid-Season Championship Format

Races Two and Three of ESS Tour

These two races are also part of the 2019-20 Empire State Super Series Regional Tour Championship which is composed of various races throughout the season at tracks in New York.

Back in December, Keith Powell won the opening round of the current Empire State Super Series when he narrowly beat Bob Gangwer on Blind Date Night at Diamond Speedway.

Powell Pushing

Of late, defending SUPRS Gold Crest Wing Supermodified Mid-Season Champion Keith Powell has sliced his way into, what was for most of the season, a comfortable point lead for Rob Warren. Warren, who has a chance to tie Ray Sand, Jr. for the most wins in this event, (Warren currently has three and is going for four), was socked with a two position penalty last week at the Buckeye 50 after a post race review and now sits just 23 points in front of Powell.

Powell, while being a consistent runner, has his work cut out for him because Warren has a big edge over all other current competitors when it comes to sitting in victory lane at Oswego Speedway. This will certainly be the battle to watch all night long as the two rivals try gather as many points as they can throughout the contest.

Mid-Season Times

With a full slate of action featuring time trials, heats, Twin 35 lap features and double points as well as bonus points for the driver crowned Mid-Season Champion, you won’t want to miss the intense thrills and action at Oswego Speedway on Tuesday, January 28, 2020.

Systems checks begin at 7:30pm, with the drivers hitting the track at 8:00pm for Hot Laps. Time Trials are at 8:30pm followed by Racing at 9:05pm using the rFactor sim racing platform.

Another Thriller Expected at SUPRS Buckeye 50

January 20, 2020 – Goshen, IN…If the last three editions of  the Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS), Buckeye 50 is any indication, supermodified sim racing fans are in for a thriller when the sanction visits Mansfield Motorsports Park f on January 21, 2020.

Down to the Checkers

Since 2017 when SUPRS made a triumphant return to Mansfield with the rFactor sim racing platform, every race has gone right down to the checkered flag. 2018 and 2019 in particular, were incredibly close finishes, and 2019 featured a last lap pass for the win and a spectacular crash at the finish line.

The race last year was the just the fourth time that SUPRS has competed at Mansfield, and all four times there’s been a different winner. However, two of those winners have figured into the finish all but one year. Keith Powell and Bob Gangwer each have a win in the Buckeye 50, and both have finished on the podium in three of the four SUPRS races at Mansfield.

From a team standpoint, it’s hard to argue the prowess of Disturbed Motorsports out of Mexico, NY. All three drivers, Chad Phelps, Derrick Backus, and Kyle Clark, have had moments of greatness at this bumpy high-banked half-mile.

Backus is the current track record holder and nearly won the race last year. Clark was in contention for the win in 2018. And Phelps, although he didn’t run last year, has led the race twice.

The 2019 Buckeye 50 had a wild finish.

Get the Most out of Mansfield Action

Make sure you schedule a reminder so you don’t miss any of the action from SUPRS Buckeye 50, January 21, 2020 at Mansfield Motorsports Park. A 15 minute practice session starts at 8:15pm with Time Trials at 8:45pm after the Drivers Meeting. A full slate of racing action, including qualifying heats and the 50 lap feature gets underway at 9:05pm and you can see it all with SUPRS LIVE!

Cheer on your favorite SUPRS racers while you view timing, scoring, instant track telemetry and of course our outstanding live streaming video of the Buckeye 50 beginning with the pre-race show at 9:00pm est. time.

SUPRS Invades Canada for Crazy Canuck Snowball Derby

First SUPRS Race of New Decade is at Delaware Speedway in Ontario, Canada

January 4, 2020 – Goshen, IN…The first Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS), race of the new decade is the 16th Annual Crazy Canuck Snowball Derby on January 7, and this year the event takes place at Delaware Speedway in Ontario.

SUPRS 2020 Crazy Canuck Snowball Derby is the first race of the new decade and the first time SUPRS will race at Delaware Speedway.

Wild and Wacky Format

The Crazy Canuck Snowball Derby has the craziest format of the wing season. The SUPRS racers have to time trial, run a heat, and try to qualify into a “Canadian Pursuit” all as they race against each other and as part of a two-man Snowball Derby Challenge team.

The Snowball Derby Challenge teams are set up right after time trials with the slowest driver from time-trials matching up with the fastest from time trials, the second fastest with the second slowest, and so on. Competing for points in every race of the night, each team member has to do his best for the team, but also be considerate of how his teammate is running.

View 2020 Crazy Canuck Snowball Derby Format

At the end of the night, the two-man team with the most points between them wins the Snowball Derby Challenge Championship and each driver gets 10 bonus points added to his season championship tally.

Ready for Challenges of New Track

Delaware Speedway Aerial Photo
This aerial photo clearly shows how Delaware Speedway is wider at one end than the other.

Coming back from a nearly 20 day break to allow members to spend time with family and friends for the Christmas and New Year holidays, you can bet the SUPRS racers are ready to take on the challenge of Delaware Speedway for the first time.

After three chaotic Snowball Derby races at Mosport Speedway, the sanction has moved the race to Delaware Speedway with the goal of putting on a better event. Make no mistake though, while not as oddly shaped, or as narrow as Mosport, Delaware, which is shaped like an egg with a narrow tight corner at one end and a more sweeping corner at the other, will present it’s own set of challenges for the SUPRS competitors.

Part of the allure of the new venue is the fact that it’s the site of the very popular Harvy Lennox Memorial for the International Supermodified Association, (ISMA). This popular race at Delaware is one of only two stops in Canada for the popular supermodifieds and one that honors Canadian racer Harv Lennox. This year the race takes place on August 15.

Watch the Snowballs Fly

SUPRS 16th Annual Crazy Canuck Snowball Derby takes place on January 7, 2020, at Delaware Speedway. Practice starts at 8:00 pm. Time Trials are at 8:30 pm, and Racing gets underway at 9:05 pm with the the first of two Heat Races.

The Canadian Pursuit follows the Heat Races with the 50 lap 16th Annual Crazy Canuck Snowball Derby feature capping the night at Delaware.

SUPRS fans, followers, and friends can watch the snowballs fly in this zany, fun supermodified sim race by tuning in to SUPRS LIVE! @ 9. Cheer on your favorite SUPRS racers, (or in this case SUPRS Snowball Derby Challenge team!), as you enjoy live streaming race video and commentary, was well as, timing, scoring and instant track telemetry as you chat with your fellow fans on the SUPRS LIVE! page.

This live broadcast from Delaware Speedway starts at 9:00 pm est and is a fun, family-friendly place for everyone to celebrate the start of a new supermodified sim racing decade.

Last SUPRS Race of Decade is Christmas Special

Share SUPRS:

December 14, 2019 – Goshen, IN…The last Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS), race of the decade is the Sixteenth Christmas Special, and for the fourth time in as many years, the popular supermodified sim racing event is moving to a new track.

Pantucky is the Place

After holding a successful non-wing supermodified race at Pantucky Speedway back in July of this year, SUPRS officials booked this winged supermodified event. Pantucky is a flat, 3/8ths track with wide corners and narrow, drag strip-like straights. Like the non-wing race, the Christmas Special will also be an rFactor event.

Since that race in July, a lot of work has been done to the track that was originally built for NASCAR Heat. Some of the items include, a new Victory Lane, many new advertising billboards, a refurbished pit concession stand, new pit area scales and pit shack amenities.

One of the biggest projects was clearing the old train trestle that ran outside the track on the backstretch that seemed to run to nowhere, and adding water barrels and tire barriers to the infield light poles and all blunt-end walls, not to mention the moving of all safety vehicles to more secure and safe areas of the infield. Thanks to SUPRS member Nelson Rodrigues, the racers will compete on a track that is a lot more visually pleasing, more realistic, and has fewer hazards to contend with.

Christmas Gift for Winner

As has been the case since the beginning of the race in 2004, the driver that crosses the finish line first after 25 laps will take home a Burgers’ Smokehouse Christmas Ham for his accomplishment.

Burgers' Smokehouse ham
Burgers’ Smokehouse has specialized in Ozark Country Hams since 1952.

The fine folks at Burgers’ Ozark Country Hams have been providing simple traditions since 1952 when they built their first “ham house” on their farm in Missouri.

With complete attention to quality and customer service, this family owned company continues to do things the old-fashioned way taking great care in the time-honored traditions of curing, aging, and smoking superior quality products.

Last year Keith Powell broke Rob Warren’s four-year win streak at the Christmas Special, and was able to enjoy the delicious smoked ham with his family on Christmas. Powell was the 12th different winner in 15 previous contests.

Christmas Special Time is Here
