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.
