Goshen, IN – April 14, 2018…The Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS), rolls through the Hoosier State for the next two weeks as they finish out their 2018 Indyana Supermod Challenge series. Their first stop is a special Sunday night show on April 15, 2018 at the famed Salem Speedway.
Classic and classy posters and graphics from BreezeGraphics.com can help you tell your event story.
Last Salem Show was in 2015
The 30 lap non-wing supermodified feature is the first time since 2015 that the drivers will battle each other on the ultra-fast high-banks of Salem. Steve Callahan was the winner in that 75 lap feature that also featured winged supermodified racing on the same night. The winged part of the night was won by Dave Brigandi.
Exciting Race in 2014
Prior to that SUPRS held a non-wing race at Salem on July 7, 2014 when Sand, Jr. won the opening salvo of the three-night Indiana Supermod Week, which also included shows at LaPorte Speedway and Indianapolis Raceway Park. In that particular race, an exciting battle among the top four of Sand, Jr., Rob Warren, Myles Maxon, and Steve Callahan developed almost immediately from the drop of the green flag. In a thrilling wheel to wheel, nerf bar to nerf bar contest of skill, it was anyone’s guess what driver was going to come out on top at the end of 50 laps, but it was Sand, Jr. who picked up his second non-wing Salem win in a row.
Callahan Successful at Salem
Callahan also has a win at Salem in his non-wing supermodified in what is thought to be the very first time SUPRS ran at Salem Speedway in what was called the Indyana Supermod Classic on August 11, 2010. In fact, Callahan is so good at Salem, he’s finished out of the top five just twice in six races run there under the SUPRS sanction.
Bet on Becker on Banks
Carl Becker has had his fair share of success on the banks of this southern Indiana institution as well, taking his Dowker Titanium Roadster to a wing supermodified win on November 12, 2013. The Lansing, MI veteran has two other top five finishes in his winged supermodified and two in his non-wing car as well.

Practice for the SUPRS Hurryin’ Hoosier 30 begins at 8:15pm. A 15 minute Drivers Meeting takes place in TeamSpeak prior to the drivers taking to the track for Time Trials at 8:45pm. After that, two 10 lap Heat Races are scheduled to go off at 9:06pm.
