Thompson, CT (October 11, 2020) - The ISMA supermodified season in 2020, ended with only three races run, and all were won by Jonathan McKennedy. His win this past Sunday at the Thompson World Series was a repeat of his 2019 World Series which started the four straight streak. On Sunday McKennedy started third and battled his way past Otto Sitterly to begin a race-long chase with Chris Perley who started on the pole by luck of the draw. The battle up front ended late in the 50 lapper when race leader Perley approached slower cars and in the ensuing cat and mouse game, McKennedy was able to take the lead away on lap 42 and fled away to take the win eight laps later.

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.
