The tour includes only those tracks that are in the state of New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SUPRS Blind Date Night has been a tradition since the very start of the sanction when it ran four races in one night on New Year\u2019s Eve known as the New Year\u2019s Eve 4-n-1 Bash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the SUPRS Members decided they\u2019d rather spend time with their family and friends on NYE, the tradition of drawing one out of a potential three tracks continued on for the ESS Tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keysor Defending ESS Champ<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year Brad Keysor won his third straight Empire State Super Series Championship, tying Rob Warren for third on the all-time ESS Championship list. This year he will attempt to get the new ESS rolling in the right direction at SUPRS Blind Date Night. Chalking up points early could help him move up one rung on the all-time ESS ladder and would go a long way towards propelling him to his fourth championship of the regional tour. That accomplishment would move the <a href=\"https:\/\/bmklogistics.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BMK Logistics<\/a> sponsored racer into second with four ESS Championships, one behind Ray Sand, Jr. who has five in a row.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A SUPRS\/HeatFinder Open Show<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Like all NASCAR Heat races on the SUPRS schedule this year, the ESS Blind Date Night is part of the SUPRS\/<a href=\"http:\/\/heatfinder.net\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">HeatFinder.net<\/a> open show.<\/p>\n<p>This race is open to any driver that has <a href=\"https:\/\/suprs.net\/site\/registration\/\">registered<\/a> to race at SUPRS.net, has the SUPRS W v6 modification, and all three tracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Socially SUPRS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Join SUPRS active and vibrant Social Media channels by &nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/facebook.com\/SUPRSOnline\">\u201cLiking\u201d SUPRS on Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SUPRSOnline\">Following @SUPRSOnline<\/a> on Twitter, and viewing<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/SUPRSOnlineRacing\"> SUPRS videos on YouTube<\/a>.
