SUPRS Heads to Thompson for New England 50
New England 50 is First SUPRS Race at Famed Thompson International Speedway
April 3, 2018 – Riverton, CT…The Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS) heads to Thompson International Speedway Tuesday, April 3, 2018 for the New England 50 and it’s the first time the 14-year-old supermodified sim racing sanction has ever held a race at this famous CT speedplant.
New Venue Part of Re-Imagined Event
In 2017, the always popular “Xtreme Tuesday” went through a name change and became the “New England 50.” The original event was modeled after the International Supermodified Association, (ISMA), race of the same name but when ISMA stopped running this show on an annual basis, SUPRS came up with a new idea.
With so many fantastic and historical tracks in New England and available to run in both NASCAR Heat and rFactor, the sanction decided to rotate the event throughout these East Coast ovals on an annual basis. Because of the history of supermodified racing at Thompson, SUPRS is also able to stay true to their Mission Statement of exposing supermodified racing to the general online sim racing community while promoting real supermodified sanctions and tracks.

Keystone Nationals Three Night PA Swing
Goshen, IN – March 26, 2018… Last week the Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS), finished up their extended “Winter Western Swing” and are now ready to run the 13th Annual Keystone Nationals featuring the Randy Witkum Memorial beginning Tuesday March 27.
Three Distinct Tracks, Two Gaming Platforms
This multi-race swing through the state of Pennsylvania challenges the SUPRS racers over the course of three nights on three very distinctive race tracks, including a uniquely shaped one-mile track that has multiple elevation changes. For the second year in a row, the SUPRS members will be racing with the rFactor and NASCAR Heat platforms.
RT 93 Site of Keystone Nationals Opener
For the second year in a row, the first race is at RT 93 Raceway which is a half-mile, but certainly not an oval. Many SUPRS racers compare it to the legendary and now defunct Flemington Speedway and while being somewhat square, say that the fast way around is to run a near perfect circle. They’ll be doing that for 5o laps and trying not to get too dizzy.
Nazareth Presents Different Challenges
After a successful, and entertaining début for SUPRS last year, the popular Nazareth Speedway returns for night two of the Keystone Nationals and brings an added challenge. This one mile oddly shaped track has various elevation changes, a few distinctive bumps, banking that varies from 2.7° and 6.0°, and has what many consider one of the trickiest dog legs and turn one corners of the season.
Consistency and a smooth, fast approach through the dogleg is what drivers will be striving for if they want to be in Nazareth victory lane after 25 rFactor supermodified sim racing feature laps.
14th Annual Randy Witkum Memorial Closes Keystone
Finally, on Thursday evening, the Keystone Nationals will culminate with a race that is one of the longest running in SUPRS history; The Randy Witkum Memorial. It will be the 14th time SUPRS has run this 125 lap grind at the famed Jennerstown Speedway racing to honor the memory of the late Randy Witkum.
Witkum was a young supermodified racer, and part of an iconic supermodified racing family who tragically lost his life while participating in an International Supermodified Association heat race event at Jennerstown in 1999. The winner of the race gains a “Guaranteed Starter” award for the 14th Annual Summit Classic 125 in May.
All Three Nights Shown Live
For the first time in Keystone Nationals history all three nights of racing are going to be shown via SUPRS LIVE! Beginning with the first race at RT 93 through Nazareth on night two and the Randy Witkum Memorial fans can expect to see plenty of supermodified sim racing action. Featuring Live Timing, Scoring, Track Telemetry and Streaming Video, SUPRS LIVE! is the perfect page on the web to cheer on your favorite SUPRS racer.
Race Schedule
Practice begins at 8:15pm on the first two night. Then Heats, and Feature follow after 9:00pm. On Thursday, things get rolling a little sooner due to the length of the race. Practice starts at 7:45pm and the racing begins at 8:35pm with the Heat Races.

SUPRS-“Supermodified Sim Racing for the Right Reasons” since 2004
First SUPRS Race in Missouri to be Held at I-70 Speedway
March 18, 2018 – Kansas City, MO…The Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS), will race in Missouri for the first time in their 14 year history at the high-banked I-70 Speedway in Odessa for the “Show Me State 50” on March 20.
I-70 Once Famous, Now Abandoned
The track that originally opened in 1969 helped start the careers of many noted race car drivers including NASCAR stars Rusty Wallace and Clint Bowyer . Stand-0ut short-track racer Larry Phillips also called I-70 Speedway “home.” While mostly the seen of stock car racing, I-70 hosted USAC as well as other open-wheel series. For a short time the track was covered in dirt and the World of Outlaws sprinters raced there as well.
After a series of owners towards the end of it’s life, the track fell on hard times and eventually the doors closed for good in 2008 and today lays abandoned and overgrown.
Get a tour of the abandoned I-70 Speedway in this video from TheDrive.com. User Note-this video is PG rated.
SUPRS Brings the Racing Back to I-70
SUPRS brings their high-speed, radically offset virtual supermodifieds to I-70 for the first time ever on March 20 and early testing indicates that the racing is going to be nothing short of thrilling. High banks and uneven pavement will keep the drivers on their toes on every lap as each driver tries to ‘show’ the other the way to the checkered flag first.
