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.
