January 16, 2024 – S. Amherst, OH…<\/strong><\/em>A clean and fast night of racing in the “Buckeye State,” found Brad Keysor at Columbus Motor Speedway, and Zach Sears at Lorain County Speedway sitting in victory lane as the winners of the Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS), Ohio State 500 Series Double-Header Tuesday night.

Two Cautions Total for 200 Laps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For the second year in a row, two of the toughest tracks on the schedule produced some of the finest supermodified sim racing of the season. Just two cautions total slowed the drivers in the 200 laps they completed on Tuesday. Both of the cautions came in the first race of the night at Columbus with the first coming out on lap 16 for a simple two-car spin with Steven Vincent and Danny Ray. The next caution flag flew just a couple of laps after the restart for the first when Daniel Nans made contact with Nelson Rodrigues in a crash that ended Rodrigues’ night as well as that of Vincent who had nowhere to go on the tight 1\/3 mile. It was the second year in a row that Vincent and Rodrigues failed to finish the race at Columbus, and both opted to park their cars for the night and didn’t compete in the second 100 lap grind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Close Calls at Lorain County<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

From there on out, it was clear sailing for the rest of the night with all 100 laps going green at Lorain County. The racing at “The County” provided plenty of thrills, including a synchronized spinning to the infield by the front row on the start. That un-choreographed faux pa could have easily wiped out a good portion of the field, but Anthony Corsoniti slid out of site as Daniel Nans gained control and was able to continue as the rest of the racers breathed a sigh of relief behind him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not long after, Danny Ray’s rotten luck continued as he hit the bump out of turn two just as he was getting into the gas. Ray went for a ride into the backstretch wall and bounced into the grass on the backstretch, but no yellow came out and everyone missed the debris field laid down by the Smokie Bone’s Downhome Kitchen #08. The 75 year old was out for the night, but stuck around the pits to watch the rest of the race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lock on Podium<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Just like last year at these two tracks, Brad Keysor, Dave Ohh, and Zach Sears put a lock on the podium that no other driver could break. All three lead at some point during the night as well. Other drivers did, however, find their way onto the lap leader board. Nelson Rodrigues, (Columbus-5 laps), Ryan Cloonan, (Lorain County-1 lap), and Daniel Nans, (Lorain County-4 laps) all gained a championship point for leading at least one lap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
