Epping, N.H. (Sept. 19, 2020) The annual 125 lap Bob Webber Sr. Memorial Classic, also the 55th Classic at the famed Epping, NH raceway was slated for Saturday, Sept. 19, with hopes that the COVID-19 pandemic would not cancel it. With much work and preparation by the Webber family in the past months, the race was able to happen.

A stellar field of twenty-five supermodifieds gathered to compete in the running of the prestigious 55th Star Speedway Classic and it was a race for the history books. Battling for the win were some of the best big block supermodifieds from the Midwest to New England, and albeit the fact that no Canadian competitors could attend due to a COVID-19 border shutdown, it proved to be a fitting end to a definitely disrupted 2020 supermodified race season.

ISMA Lee USA 20 4267

Lee, N.H. (August 7, 2020) – With the coronavirus reeking havoc everywhere, auto racing certainly has not escaped being affected. With many states and Canada facing strict guidelines on travel etc., a smaller than usual contingent of ISMA supermodified competitors were able to be at Lee USA Speedway on Friday night, August 7 for the Ollie Silva Memorial 75. For most in the field, it was the first race of this strange season. But, the 50% fan turnout saw an action-packed race as they practiced the guidelines put in place. And, they seemed extremely enthusiastic with the results.

Chelmsford, Mass. driver Jon McKennedy came up from 10th starting spot to gradually challenge race leader Mike Ordway Jr. who by luck of the draw was on the pole and out front rapidly on the green. But McKennedy, in a new car with new owners, felt good about his car and would end up being his fourth win of the prestigious Silva 75.

MIKE ORDWAY JR. DOMINATES 43RD ANNUAL SANDUSKY HY-MILER NATIONALS

2020 hy miler winner SANDUSKY, OHIO (July 25, 2020) - Mike Ordway Jr. drove Clyde Booth's iconic No. 61 "silver bullet" supermodified to victory in the 43rd Annual Hy-Miler Nationals 100 Saturday night at Sandusky Speedway.

Ordway's dominating performance actually began about an hour prior to the drop of the green flag, when he drew the pole in the random draw of handicapped drivers based on the evening's heat races. Ordway, a New Hampshire native now residing in Maine, jumped out to the lead in front of Mike McVetta on lap one and would dominate from there, lapping all but the top-five finishers and never leaving a doubt that he was in charge of the 100-lapper. Ordway's win marked his second in the famed Ohio race; he also won the Hy-Miler in Booth's 61 in 2017.
