Goshen, IN – February 14, 2020…Is it Washington’s Birthday? Is it Lincoln’s Birthday? Is it even a holiday? Whatever it is to you, on February 18, 2020 it’s a way for the Supermodified Ultimate Pavement Racing Series, (SUPRS), and the NASCAR Heat sim racing community to honor the office of The President of the United States of America. And for the first time since 2009, the supermodifieds, and the mighty modifieds, will share a double dip of excitement on the mile at New Hampshire International Speedway. Big Night for NASCAR Heat Community The NASCAR Heat community, featuring the best drivers of The Mod Squad, HeatFinder, NASCAR Heat Racing League, and SUPRS comes together to race supermodifieds and modifieds for a big night of NASCAR Heat sim racing at New Hampshire International Speedway on February 18. Both races are open to the public for any sim racer that has the correct files. Cross-Over Expected Organizers expect a fair amount of cross-over between the supermodified and modified classes, where fans will be able to see how the best of each discipline fair in a different type of car on the same night. Reigning SUPRS champion, "Rocket" Rob Warren, and perennial ARL HeatFinder champion, Dave "Speedyman" Ohh , are expected to continue their heated rivalry while competing in both the supermodifieds and the modifieds. Keith Powell, who currently leads the SUPRS/HeatFinder Supermodified Challenge Series, (where points are kept just on NASCAR Heat supermodified races), will certainly be a threat in both classes, and indications are that NH Autosport drivers Jeff "Grumpy" Bivens and Rick "BlackKnight" Walls, will strap into their supermodifieds and modifieds on race night at New Hampshire International Speedway. And while it's unclear if any of the NHRL regulars will compete, you can bet that if they show, they will be as tough as anyone on a track that everyone in the NASCAR Heat community is very familiar with. Event Details The supermodified portion of the event will be contested with SUPRS NASCAR Heat wing supermodifieds, (SUPRS W v6). The supermods are the under-card and get their night started at 7:15pm with Hot Laps. Time Trials, and Heat Races lead up to the the 25 lap feature scheduled to the take the green flag at 8:10pm. The SUPRS portion of the Presidents' Day Special at New Hampshire Int'l Speedway will run in normal mode, no cautions, and zero wear factor. Following a quick break to switch race and voice servers, the TMS Super HEAT Modified Tour hits the track at 8:45pm for a quick five minute Hot Lap session. This is followed by Time Trials at 8:55pm, and the SUPRS TMS Presidents’ Day Modified 75 presented by HeatFinder feature at 9:05pm. With 2x wear, Fixed Setups, and cautions, the modifieds should prove to be a race of strategy for all competitors. Both races will be contested on the original New Hampshire International Speedway from the NASCAR Heat cd. Enjoy Live Stream Fans will be able to enjoy live streaming video of both divisions on the SUPRS Broadcasting Network and can tune in to SUPRS LIVE! beginning at 8pm ET for all the action.
