Mid-Season Championship at Oswego Speedway Tuesday
\n<\/em><\/h2>\n

January 26, 2015 – Goshen, IN…<\/strong><\/em>The Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series will run its Mid-Season Championship for the Gold Crest Wing Supermodifieds on Tuesday and the season point standings may see a big shake up with double points and bonuses on the line.<\/p>\n

Reigning SUPRS Gold Crest Wing Season Champion Ray Sand, Jr. has run a limited schedule\u00a0this year but picked up a big win recently in the Terry Gibson Memorial 100 at Sandusky Speedway. Sand, Jr. has won more Gold Crest Wing Mid-Season Championships than any other SUPRS driver in history and will be looking for his third one in a row Tuesday night when the SUPRS racers take to Oswego Speedway in a Twin 35 lap feature format.<\/p>\n

While Sand, Jr. will certainly be a driver to bet on with a total of six Mid-Season Championships between the Gold Crest Wing and Non-Wing supermodifieds and more wins at Oswego Speedway than any other SUPRS racer in history, there’s no discounting current point leader and Sand, Jr.’s arch rival in SUPRS online supermodified racing, “Mighty” Myles Maxon.<\/p>\n

Maxon has a total of seven feature wins this season and is enjoying a comfortable 148 point lead over current second place point man Steve Callahan He will attempt to grab another\u00a0SUPRS Gold Crest Wing Supermodified Championship, (his first coming in 2007-08, then again in 2009-10). Maxon has done well lately in his home state of New York, kicking off the Empire State Super Series Regional Tour at Linden Speedway last week with a win and even though the wins haven’t come, has been consistently in the top five when he’s raced at Oswego.<\/p>\n

The biggest points battle to watch will be the one for second. As mentioned, “Steady” Steve Callahan sits in second right now, but Rob Warren is hot on his heals a scant seven points behind. The first half of the season has been one of the best ever for Callahan winning twice already. He usually really turns up the heat at the midway point of the year so this race could be the catalyst that puts him in contention for his first SUPRS Season Championship ever.<\/p>\n

“Rocket” Rob Warren is never one to shy away from a battle and with his history at Oswego Speedway, Callahan and the rest of the competitors have their work cut out for them. Warren is a former SUPRS Gold Crest Wing Mid-Season Champion,(2011-12), and has a big edge over Callahan when it comes to sitting in victory lane at Oswego Speedway after a major event. While Callahan has never won a major at “The Big O”, Warren has plenty in both wing and non-wing online supermodified races as well as modified races.<\/p>\n

With double points, bonuses, and Twin 35 lap features anything could happen and not only will the focus be on winning the Mid-Season Championship but the racers will also be looking for a big points score in the ongoing Empire State Super Series Regional Tour of which this event is part of.<\/p>\n

2010-11 SUPRS Gold Crest Wing Supermodified Mid-Season Champion, Chris Meyers, is also expected to compete in his Bodnar chassis, Oswego Sub Shop sponsored machine as well.<\/p>\n

SUPRS 11th season continues on January 27 with the running of the Mid-Season Championship at Oswego Speedway. Practice starts at 8:00 pm with the green flag dropping for racing action at 9:00 pm.<\/p>\n
