Indiana Supermod Week is Here!
Mid-Season Championship Features Double Points for SUPRS
Tight Season Points Battle Could See Shakeup
July 7, 2014 – Goshen, IN…The Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series will run its Mid-Season Championship for the Gold Crest Non-Wing Supermodifieds on Tuesday and the season point standings may see a big shake up with double points and bonuses on the line.
After a year off, SUPRS will once again return to Oswego Speedway to crown a Mid-Season Champion with a 50 lap feature race.
Reigning SUPRS Gold Crest Non-Wing Champion Ray Sand, Jr. has yet to win a race this season. However, with two straight wins in this event, and a total of eight Mid-Season Championships counting the Gold Crest Wing season, he may be considered the favorite to take the 5o lap feature and grab the double points for winning as well as the bonus points for being crowned Mid-Season Champion.
If Sand, Jr. is able to pull off his third Non-Wing Mid-Season Championship, he would become the first SUPRS racer to do so. As of now he is tied with John Davidson (2006, 2010 Non-Wing Mid-Season Champion), and Kris Heveron ( 2007-08 Non-Wing Mid-Season Champion), for most wins in this important event. Jim Crannell (2005), and Devin Gee (2009), are the only other racers to have scored Mid-Season Championships for the Non-Wing season. There was no race held in 2013.
Sand’s main challenge will most likely come in the form of “Mighty” Myles Maxon as he has now won more than any other driver this season, racking up three feature wins to date. Maxon has never won the Mid-Season Championship for the Non-Wing supermodifieds, but other than one bad night, has kept Sand, Jr. and the rest of the competitors in check and now sets a solid 66 points ahead of nearest challenger Rob Warren.
Warren, while looking to gain points on Maxon has to do what he can to keep Sand, Jr. behind him. “Rocket” Rob has one win so far this season and is just one scant point ahead of Sand, Jr. in the points chase.
The SUPRS 10th Anniversary season continues on July 8 with the running of the Mid-Season Championship at Oswego Speedway. Practice starts at 8:30 pm with the green flag dropping for racing action at 9:00 pm.

Independence Day Twin 35s Next SUPRS Race
Independence Day Twins a Tradition with SUPRS
June 30, 2014 – Goshen, IN…When it comes to the oldest event on the Supermodified Pavement Racing Series Gold Crest Non-Wing Championship calendar, nothing can hold a firecracker to the storied and exciting Independence Day Twins.
The very first points race for the SUPRS Gold Crest Non-Wing Supermodified Championship came on July 6, 2005 with the running of the Independence Day Twin 25s at Jennerstown Speedway. Those races were won by 2006 Gold Crest Non-Wing Champion John Davidson and Canadian Sean Gibbs.
Since then, the event has been held at Jennerstown Speedway two other times. Beginning in 2008 the race moved to the newly designed Oswego Speedway and has been held there since except for 2011 when it was run at Bristol Motor Speedway and 2012 when the event was not held.
In the history of the race, no driver has more wins than 2-time Gold Crest Non-Wing Champion Kris Heveron. Heveron won at least one of the Twin features starting in 2006 and tallied an impressive two year run of four total wins.
Other winners include Gary Waldron (2006), Larry Russell (2008), Dave Biro III and Dave Soja (2011), and Domenic Gioia and Steve Callahan (2013). Data for the 2009 and 2010 seasons are currently unavailable.
This year’s Twin 35s return to Oswego Speedway on July 1 and will again feature a unique and interesting format based on the points won handicap system. As has been the long-standing tradition of the The Independence Day Twins, a SUPRSCharger award and SUPRSChallenge bonus award available for each 35 lap feature.
This event has always been an important one for the SUPRS racers because of the points available and fans can bet that this edition will be no different.
Current Gold Crest Non-Wing Supermodified Championship point leader Myles Maxon won the first two races of the year and was on his way to a third last week when his computer screen minimized leaving him blind on the track. He took a big hit in the points and the winner of the race that Maxon lost, Rob Warren, now sits just 25 points out of first. Three time and defending Gold Crest Non-Wing Champion Ray Sand, Jr. has yet to score a win in 2014, and although tied with Warren in points total, is in third overall due to Warren having a win.
The SUPRS 10th Anniversary season continues on July 1 with the running of the Independence Day Twin 35s at Oswego Speedway. Practice starts at 8:30 pm with the green flag dropping for racing action at 9:00 pm.
