Veterans Day Special Sim Race to Honor Those Who Served

November 6, 2016 – Goshen, IN…The Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS), continues it’s long standing tradition of striving to bring about awareness of the men and women who have served in the United States Military with the running of the 2016 Veterans Day Special on November 8, 2016.

SUPRS Veterans Day Special
SUPRS hope is that all vets will have the proper health and medical care they need after serving their country.

This year the race will be held for the first time at Levi Signature Speedway, a fictional rFactor track built by Gator that should be a real challenge to the SUPRS racers with it’s high-banked tri-oval configuration.

So far this season, there have been six different winners in seven races and the SUPRS Gold Crest Wing Championship points have been in a constant flux among the top five.

Steve Callahan is the most recent winner on the circuit and hopes to use the momentum gained from his North Carolina Swing Championship to catapult him into his second Veterans Day Special win and first since 2009. He’ll have to contend with myriad of tough competitors including his teammate Keith Powell, Joe Achzet as well as former Veterans Day Special winners”Rocket” Rob Warren (2014), and Carl “Bonzai” Becker (2013).

SUPRS believes that there is a real and definite crisis in the United States where our veterans do not receive proper medical care and are often left languishing without a job or home to live in because of addiction , physical and mental health issues.

Because of that, SUPRS will be making a donation to the Infinite Hero Foundation in support of their mission to provide access to “rehabilitation programs that address the unique needs of veterans and their families.”

Practice for the SUPRS Veterans Day Special 75 at Levi Signature Speedway begins at 8:00pm with racing slated to go at 9:00.

Supermodified and sim racing fans alike can view timing and scoring including track telemetry of the Veterans Day Special with SUPRS LIVE! To keep up with your favorite SUPRS racer in an instant just point your browser to www.SUPRS.net/site/live.

The Soldier

It is the soldier, not the reporter,
Who has given us freedom of the press.

It is the soldier, not the poet,
Who has given us freedom of speech.

It is the soldier, not the campus organizer,
Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.

It is the soldier, not the lawyer,
Who has given us the right to a fair trial.

It is the soldier who salutes the flag,
Who serves under the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
who allows the protester to burn the flag.

-Charles M. Province

Grueling North Carolina Swing Next for SUPRS

North Carolina Swing is Toughest Multi-Race Swing on the Schedule

October 28, 2016 – Goshen, IN…The Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS),  racers have begun to prepare themselves for the grueling 13th Annual North Carolina Swing which will take place from November 2-4 featuring five different tracks in three nights of racing all based in North Carolina.

As the racers vie for the coveted North Carolina Swing Championship Crown they will also be racing for points in the Gold Crest Wing Supermodified Championship and this year will be all the more challenging with a new venue and two sim racing platforms.

The series kicks off Tuesday, November 2 at Dasera Speedway and Caraway Speedway using the SUPRS W v6.0 mod for NASCAR Heat, then moves to Concord Motorsports Park, and for the first time, Southern National Motorspots Park on November 3 using the new SUPRS W v7.0 mod for rFactor.

Once the points are tallied from the first four races, invitations to the top eight, plus two alternates will be sent asking each to attend Hickory Motor Speedway on Friday, November 4 where the winner of challenging “Hickory Hustle 75″ will be crowned the 2016-17 North Carolina Swing Champion.

To date, there has been just one driver to win the North Carolina Swing Championship more than once. “Mighty” Myles Maxon. He first did it back to back in 2009 and 2010. Last year Ray Sand, Jr. and Bob Gangwer were looking to join Maxon as multi-time North Carolina Swing champions, but Rob Warren, after nearly sweeping night two for the third year in a row, held off both at the Hickory Hustle to claim his first NC Swing crown.

Steve Callahan has one of the best finishing records in the history of The Hickory Hustle, yet has never been able to win the race or the North Carolina Swing Championship. While work kept him out of the hunt last year, Callahan will be a driver to watch throughout the North Carolina Swing.

Callahan’s teammate Keith Powell is coming off his first SUPRS Championship after just narrowly edging out Rob Warren for the 2015 Gold Crest Non-Wing crown and has shown a lot of speed during pre-season testing, while Joe Achzet, Derrick Backus, 2015 NW Icings on Top Rookie of the Year Kyle Clark, Chad Phelps, Kevin Timmins, Dave Brigandi, Domenic Gioia, Joey Callahan, and others are looking to make it into the Hickory Hustle and etch their names on the list of first time North Carolina Swing champions.

The Hickory Hustle takes the top eight in points after the first four races and pits them against each other with a random start at Hickory Motor Speedway. It’s just one more reason the North Carolina Swing crown is one of the most sought after, and hardest to win, for the SUPRS drivers.
