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)
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.
