All-Star Classic 200 is First Race of SUPRS Triple Crown of Supermodified Sim Racing
\n<\/em><\/h2>\n

April 8, 2018 – Manchester, NH…<\/strong><\/em>The Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS), kicks off the prestigious Supermodified Sim Racing Triple Crown with the 8th<\/sup> Annual SUPRS All-Star Classic 200 April 10, 2018 at the famed Star Speedway in Epping, NH<\/p>\n

\"SUPRS<\/a>

Hey now you’re an All-Star…as long as you use BreezeGraphics.com like SUPRS does!<\/p><\/div>\n

Race Modeled after Real Event<\/strong><\/p>\n

The race is modeled after the real Star Classic held annually at the quarter-mile paved oval track built by Charlie Elliot <\/a>and now promoted by Bobby Webber, Jr.  The popular supermodified race features the International Supermodified Association<\/a> and has been a mainstay of the supermodified “Triple Crown” that also includes the Oswego Speedway<\/a> International Classic 200, and the Sandusky Speedway<\/a> Supermodified Nationals 100.<\/p>\n

\"SUPRS<\/a>

The SUPRS Triple Crown presented by Icings on Top has only been won twice.<\/p><\/div>\n

The SUPRS All-Star Classic 200 is not only an important stand-alone show, but it’s also the first leg one of the 2018  SUPRS Triple Crown <\/a>presented by Icings on Top<\/a>. Similar to the real supermodified Triple Crown, it is composed of three different marquee events that includes the aforementioned All-Star Classic 200, the Season Summit 125 held at Madera Speedway<\/a>, and the non-wing supermodified Topless! 200 at Oswego Speedway.<\/p>\n

Many consider winning just one of these events a noteworthy accomplishment, but scoring all three is a true mark of a supermodified sim racer. That being said, only two drivers have accomplished the feat, that being Ray Sand, Jr. and Rob Warren.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sand, Jr. Super at Star<\/strong><\/p>\n

Of the previous seven All-Star Classic 200 races run, Ray Sand, Jr. has won three of them including the very first one contested in 2011. That win propelled him to the first SUPRS Triple Crown that same year. Keith Powell and Rob Warren each have seen victory lane after the grueling 200 laps as well, but only Steve Callahan comes close to Sand, Jr.’s accomplishment. Callahan went back to back for his two wins in 2015 and 2016 using the NASCAR Heat gaming platform.<\/p>\n

Stamina at Star<\/strong><\/p>\n

Only 12 drivers make the show, and coupled with the fact that racing is contested within the confines of Star Speedway’s quarter-mile, there’s heavy traffic almost from the drop of the green, the track tends to get slick as the race wears on and drivers become fatigued turning 10 second laps, you can bet that this is one of the toughest races on the SUPRS schedule.<\/p>\n

This 200 lap thriller is a show where the drivers never rest and even though cautions count toward the 200 lap total, the show generally takes nearly 45 minutes to run. So it will be important for drivers to have plenty of stamina if they want to make it to the finish.<\/p>\n
