Rob Warren in His Own Universe, Wins Night 2 of Florida Speedweeks by Huge Margin
February 6, 2018 – Enterprise, FL… Living up to his nickname “Rocket” Rob Warren stole the lead from Carl Becker on lap four then checked out on the field to win the Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS), Florida Speedweeks 2018 feature at Black Creek Raceway Tuesday night. Keith Powell finished second for the second night in a row and Monday night’s New Smyrna Speedway winner Bob Gangwer was third.
Rob Warren was a “Rocket” on Night 2 of SUPRS Florida Speedweeks winning at Black Creek Raceway by a huge margin.
Early Pass on Becker Translates to Run-Away for Warren
With a well planned, if not somewhat forced move past early leader Carl Becker on lap four of the 25 lap race, Warren had nothing but clear track in front of him for the rest of the race. A fierce battle behind him between Becker, Steve Callahan, and Bob Gangwer, only added to his advantage and he was able to win by a little over seven seconds.
Warren in Hunt for First Speedweeks Title
His win, after finishing third last night, puts Warren into a 3-way tie for first for the Florida Speedweeks Championship lead with Bob Gangwer and Keith Powell. If he is able to keep his momentum up, he may very well win his first Florida Speedweeks title, something that has eluded him since becoming a SUPRS member.

From Big to Little on Night 3
After stretching their legs on the big 3/4 at Black Creek tonight, the battle for the SUPRS Florida Speedweeks 2018 Championship continues tomorrow evening from within the tight confines of the 1/3 mile Dodge Raceway Stadium. This small fictional rFactor track was the sight of Nelson Rodgrigues’ first SUPRS feature win last year and some wild supermodified sim racing action that saw two cars flip upside down.
