Steve Callahan had always been close but had never before won a wing supermodified race at Bristol Motor Speedway. He changed that statistic Monday night when he lead all 25 laps of the first feature of the\u00a0Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series Wing Side Up Twin 25s. Myles Maxon became a 3-time winner at Bristol when he passed Bob Gangwer with seven laps to go in the second 25 lap feature and went on to win.<\/p>\n
“I got lucky with the draw but it wasn’t easy holding off Myles and Bob at this place, I’m real happy to finally bring one of these races home,” said Callahan.<\/p>\n
Maxon pressured Callahan for the full 25 laps with Gangwer close in tow. The top three were rarely separated by more than the width of a nerf bar in the race that took just 5 minutes to complete. The podium ended up the way it started with Callahan, Maxon, and Gangwer finishing in that order.<\/p>\n
In the second race of the night which featured a random start, Bob Gangwer took off from the pole position and worked to hold off Myles Maxon but succumbed to the wily ways of the point leader on lap 18 when he slipped up the track just enough to allow Maxon to go by.<\/p>\n
“I wasn’t sure really if I had anything for Bob, I was probably faster, but he was running a perfect line and he just made that one slip and it was at the right place where I could get under him,” stated Maxon.<\/p>\n
Gangwer held onto second at the line, while Rob Warren charged from sixth to third and received the SUPRSCharger bonus for most positions advanced.<\/p>\n
SUPRS will be back in action on December\u00a09, 2014 with the 11th Annual Dion Parish Memorial\u00a0held at Rander Raceway where they will honor the memory of the late Dion Parish, a Michigan native that lost his life in a supermodified practice session at Kalamazoo Speedway in 2002. Practice begins at 8:00pm, Time Trials are at 8:45pm and Racing gets underway at 9:00pm.<\/p>\n
