Florida United Promoters Series Announces 2013 Schedule & Added Divisions

The Florida United Promoters Series (FUPS) on Monday released the 2013 schedule for the Super Late Models to begin their third season next March at Desoto Super Speedway for the Ice Breaker 100. The series will return to Citrus Co. , Auburndale, New Smyrna, Orlando as well as Desoto. We are very excited to be returning to New Smyrna and Orlando in 2013, it shows the dedication of these track owners working together with FUPS, stated series director Rick Williams.

The series will have a 14 race schedule that will include many of the historic races in Florida over the years such as the Marion Edwards, Clyde Hart, Powell Family, and Billie Harvey Memorial’s, the Ice Breaker and Sea Fest at Desoto will also be part of the schedule. The season will conclude with a 150 lap finale at New Smyrna in November.

The other big news from FUPS is the addition of a Sportsman, Trucks, & Open Wheel Modified Divisions to the series. We are adding the Sportsman and OWM to give them a race schedule at FUPS Tracks for 2013, they will race together for most events on nights when the Super Late Models are idle. This has been a tremendous undertaking added Williams but, we have had so much intrust in the sportsman class and there are so many cars for this class out there, we felt it was a good time to start a little series for them and we’ll see how they support it, bottom line is how many cars show up and from the response we’ve seen for a couple of races in 2012 we feel it will be successful.  (more…)

The Florida United Promoters Series will hold the season finale Regal Kia-Chevy 150 on Sat. December 8th, 2012 at Auburndale Speedway, this event was originally schedule for 200 laps at Desoto Speedway. We have been working very hard to make this our biggest race to cap off a very exciting season, said series director Rick Williams. Although we were planning to finish at Desoto we just couldn’t make it work, and we were able to move it to the “Dale”, added Williams.

With only twenty points separating Steve Dorer and Jesse Dutilly for the championship, this race will determine who will win the 2012 FUPS Championship and claim the $5,000.00 from the points fund. Along with Dutilly and Dorer will be Jonathan Guy on his home track who sits in 3rd place in the points race. Joining the top three will be series regulars, Daniel Webster, Anthony Campi, Anthony Sergi, Kevin Macy, Joe Winchell, David Green, David King, Eddie King, and many others.

Jake Perkins the FUPS 2011 Rookie of the Year who sits 4th in the point standings will join in the hunt for his 1st win with FUPS. Perkins Motorsports will also field a second car for the return of local NASCAR racer David Reutimann.
