Fresno, CA – April 21, 2016…The Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS), will close the 2015-16 SUPRS Gold Crest Wing Championship season with the 12th running of the Summit Classic 125.

The 12th Annual Summit Classic 125 is the forty-second race of the 2015-2016 Gold Crest Wing Championship and part of the SUPRS Triple Crown.

Action begins on Sunday with Test-N-Tune at 8pm. Then, for the first time during Summit Classic, a non-wing supermodified race for rFactor will be held on Monday at 8pm.

Scheduled for Tuesday, the invitation only Cherry Breaker 63 for drivers that have never won a SUPRS wing supermodified feature, will take place prior to Time Trials for the 12th Annual SUPRS Summit Classic 125.

Finally on Wednesday, the grand finale for SUPRS happens and the drivers will try to add their name to the long list of winners of the Summit Classic 125.  Practice begins at 7:45p with the green flag dropping on the Summit Classic 125 starting field at 9:15pm.

In 12 years only five drivers have won this challenging race with Ray Sand, Jr. being the all-time winner with five.

This year with the non-wing supermodifieds will be racing on Monday and it’s a good possibility that Sand, Jr. will be crowned a SUPRS Champion for the 10th time.

Rob Warren pulled to within 93 points with his win in the Golden State Special at Buckley Speedway last week and has a mathematical chance at catching  Sand, Jr. if he does well on Monday.

Goshen, IN – February 15, 2016….The Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series,(SUPRS), will embark on their three-week “Winter Western Swing” when they strike up the band on February 16 to play “Hail to the Chief”  for the President’s Day Special.

The western adventure marks the first time the President’s Day Special will be run as a a rFactor race and will be contested for the first time other than New River Valley Speedway or New Hampshire International Speedway. The Bullring  at Las Vegas Motor Speedway will play host to the 75 lap feature and in another first, the racers will roll out their non-wing supermodifieds to go for the win in this popular race.

The very next night they will move to Madera Speedway, built in-house for SUPRS by resident track building guru, Doug “Flash” Forgue for the re-scheduled Veterans Day Special, which will also be contested using rFactor and non-wing sim racing supermodifieds.

It will be the first time the track will be used by SUPRS, and it’s release is still limited to the beta form. However, SUPRS officials believe that using the Veterans Day make-up feature will offer a good test bed for future use later in the season.

While there are a lot of unknowns heading into the two-day swing, one thing is for certain, it’s not the first time the venue or the format has been altered for the President’s Day Special .

The Presidents’ Day Special hasn’t been run every season during SUPRS 12 year history and it has varied in length from 38 to 75 laps. The race has been run at New Hampshire International Speedway as well as New River Valley Speedway.

John “Bud” Flath of New Jersey won the very first rendition of this popular race at New River Valley Speedway. From 2006 to 2009, New Hampshire International Speedway played host to the Presidents’ Day Special, then was not run from 2010 to 2013. Even so, SUPRS staged races at New River Valley including the popular Veterans’ Day Specials.

Practice for the President’s Day Special online sim supermodified race for rFactor starts at 8pm Tuesday, February 17. The non-wing sim supermodifieds will time trial, run a fast car dash, a heat and a 75 lap feature.

The next night at Madera Speedway, with time trials already having determined the feature line-up, drivers in attendance will get a 45 minute practice sessions starting at 8pm. The drivers meeting will follow at 8:45pm and the green flag will fly for the make-up 75 lap feature at 9pm. Any drivers that show and haven’t already been locked into the field will start the feature based on handicaps. Full format and details are on the SUPRS Schedule page.

The three-week western swing also includes the prestigious 12th Annual Billy Vukovich III Classic 100 at Mesa Marin Raceway presented by Supermodified Scorecard on February 23. This race will use the SUPRS NASCAR Heat wing supermodifieds.

Billy Vukovich III was a three-time starter of Indianapolis 500 Mile Race, the first third generation racer to compete in the race and like his father and grandfather before him was named the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race Rookie of the Year.

Vukovich III was killed at the age of 27 while practicing for a CRA pavement sprint car race at Mesa Marin Speedway on November 25, 1990.

Then on March 3, the SUPRS begin their trek back east when they roll into Phoenix International Raceway for the SUPRS Copper World Classic XII presented by Kern Motorsports. In what is sure to be one of the toughest runs of the season, drivers will have to excel in both wing and non-wing sim racing supermodifieds as well as both NASCAR Heat and rFactor.

25 lap features for each type of car will be used to determine an overall SUPRS Copper World Classic champion.
