Calaman, Billet and Dove Win at SSP on
Friday Night
Newberrytown, PA (August 18, 2006) On Friday night at the Susquehanna Speedway
Park, Dave Calaman picked up his third Trail Motors Super Sportman win of the
season. Carl Billet picked up the Late Model feature win after a rough past two
weeks of racing. Steve Dove battled Chad Smith to the end and was victorious in
the Street Stock division. Jeff Svendson won the Speedway Auto Sales Mini Van
Construction race.
In the Trail Motors Super Sportsman feature, Steve Wilbur jumped out to the
early lead from the pole position. Dave Calaman overtook Wilbur on the
seventeenth lap and held on for the win. Rich Eichelberger was able to get by
Wilbur on the last circuit and had to settle for second. Wilbur finished third
with Frankie Herr coming home fourth after starting back in the 14th position.
Jason Fry finished fifth. Calaman, Fry and Jim Shuttlesworth won the qualifying
heat races and Steve Fannasy won the consolation race. Rusty Rupp and Kevin
Yiengst both competed for the first time in a Super Sportsman on Friday night.
Carl Billet jumped out to the quick lead from outside the front row and lead
every lap to pick up the Late Model feature. Billet won by a straighaway in an
event that had only one caution flag on lap 10. Twenty one of the twenty four
starters finished the race at the end. Gene Knaub finished in second followed by
Gene Wrightstone, Larry Baer and Carl Graves rounded out the top five. Chuck
Yingling, Randy Christine, Jr., and Billet won their qualifying heat races. Jake
Lettich won the consolation. Tom Slusser Jr. also made his first ever start in a
Late Model.
In Street Stock action, Steven Dove grabbed the lead from his pole position and
picked up the win by leading every lap for his first win in the division.
However, Doves victory was no where near as easy at it appears. Doves lead was
never more than two or three car lengths at any time. Chad Smith battled with
Dove side by side and actually passed him a few times, but Smith was unable to
hold the lead when they crossed the start/finish line. Smith had to settle for
second place. Eric Walker, Bob Gutshall and George Eash completed the top five.
Dove also picked up the heat race victory along with Chad Smith and Doug
Hoffman. Rick Yohn won the consolation event.
Jeff Svendson won the Speedway Auto Sales Mini Van Construction race over Daryl
Sipe. David Olson, George Danner and Scott Hughes competed the top five.

Sprint Cars Will Not Be in Action This
Thursday at SSP on Camera and Autograph Night
NEWBERRYTOWN, PA (August 13, 2006) The Sprint Cars have be removed from the
racing programs for Thursday, August 17 and Thursday, August 24. SSP owners,
Todd and Rhonda Fisher have decided to remove the Sprint Cars from these nights
and they will return on Thursday, August 31 at the York County Nationals. There
will be three Sprint Car features completed on August 31 including the June 22
make up feature and the completion of the August 10 feature which was postponed
due to rain on lap 9. The third feature of that evening has been reduced to 25
laps and the lineups will be determined as they were last year with the top five
in points and three heat winners competing in the King of the Posse Match races
to determine the starting lineup for the 25 lap feature event.
The decision to remove the Sprint Cars for the next two weeks was based on the
fact that there are not enough fans purchasing tickets at the prices necessary
to support the purses needed for the Sprint Car teams to compete, said Todd
Fisher, SSP co-owner. Since the beginning of May, we have seen a steady decline
of fans attending Sprint Car races due to numerous reasons. With the current
state of the economy, we cannot risk the future of the speedway by continuously
losing money on Sprint Car programs and reducing their purse money is not an
option. This decision was made prior to the rains that postponed the August 10
feature event on lap 9. Sprint Cars are expected to be on the 2007 schedule 6-8
times on Thursday nights.
There are no rainchecks honored from the August 10 event as two feature events
had been completed.
On Thursday, August 17, the popular Camera and Autograph Night will return
featuring the Xtreme Stock Cars, Legends Cars and EMMR Vintage Cars. It will
also be York County Racing Club Night. The Xtreme Stock Car feature postponed on
Thursday, August 10 will also be completed on this night.
On Friday, August 18, the Trail Motors Super Sportsman, Late Models and Street
Stocks return in action along with the Speedway Auto Sales Mini Van Construction
Race.
This Friday will also be the third race of a four race series for all Street
Stock drivers who are 21 years of age and younger to compete in a five lap dash
race presented by Clean Technologies. The winner of the dash will receive
$100.00 with second place collecting $50.00. Both third and fourth place
finishers will receive $25.00 each. The driver with the best cumulative finishes
over the four race series will receive $200.00. The final race of the series
will be Friday, September 1. The current point standings after two rounds are 1.
Chad Smith (17); 2. Joey Hoffer (15); 3. Eric Walker (12); 4. Dave Thompson and
Jenn Scott (3). Smith and Hoffer have picked up wins in rounds one and two
respectively.
Gates will open for both the pit area and grandstand area at 5:00 p.m. on both
Thursday, August 17 and Friday, August 18. Warmups begin at 7:00 p.m. with
racing action beginning at 7:30 p.m. Race fans can continue to expect a fast
paced, action packed 2 ½ to 3 hour program each and every night.
Grandstand ticket prices for Thursday, August 17 are Adults & Teens (13 & older)
$8.00 and Children (12 & under) are free. Pit pass prices are $20.00 with a
reduced rate for SSP license holders.
Grandstand ticket prices for Friday, August 18 are Adults (18 & older) $12.00;

There will be an SSP Repeat Fan Discount of $2.00 for each person with a ticket
stub from August 10 or August 11 events for both August 17 or August 18.
Returning fans are encouraged to write their name, address and phone number on

A Night of Repeat Winners at SSP on Friday
Night
Newberrytown, PA (August 11, 2006) On the very popular Camera & Autograph
night, John Stehman and Brian Hauenstein both became repeat feature winners at
the Susquehanna Speedway Park on Friday night in the Trail Motors Super
Sportsman and Street Stocks respectively. John Stoll Jr. picked up the Four
Cylinder Stock Car win with Ralph Morgan winning the make-up Four Cylinder Stock
Car feature from June 1.
Starting from outside row two, John Stehman jumped out to an early lead over
Chris Reed and Dave Calaman. Calaman passed Reed on the fifth lap and began his
pursuit of Stehman. With the help of a few cautions, Calaman was unable to get
by Stehman.
A lap 19 red flag for an Aaron Eichelberger flip set up a one lap shoot-out
between Calaman and Stehman for the win. Stehman once again held off Calaman on
the final circuit to pick up his second feature win of the season at SSP.
Following Calaman was Chris Reed, Smokey Snelbaker and Ryan Rupp. Qualifying
heat wins went to Reed, Calaman and Jason Fry.
Picking up the $100 Trail Motors Super Sportsman bonus was Dave Calaman. Bobby
Hockenberry and Vance Yinger picked up $50 bonuses from Trail Motors.
In an unusual caution-filled Street Stock feature event, Brian Hauenstein became
the first repeat SSP Street Stock winner over 2005 Track Champion, Wes Alleman.
Chad Smith, who led the first 15 circuits before giving up the lead to
Hauenstein, settled for third. Kirby Sites and Eric Walker rounded out the top
five. Sam Leonard, Jr., Chad Smith and Steven Dove won the qualifying heats.
In Four Cylinder Stock Car action, Bryan Michael jumped out to an early lead
until lap 5 when he was overtaken by Dale Kreiser. Michael regained the lead
when Kreiser exited the track on lap 8. John Stoll Jr. came from a seventh place
starting position to grab the lead on lap 12 of the 15 lap feature event. Stoll
never looked back to pick up the win over Larry Stine, Grant Adams, Eric
Hollenbach and John Henry. Stine, Adams and Ralph Morgan Jr. picked up the
qualifying heat wins with Denis Christ Jr. winning the consolation event.
In the Four Cylinder Stock Car make-up feature from June 1, Ralph Morgan Jr. was
victorious over John Stoll Jr, Ed Hollenbach, Dustin Hollinger and Grant Adams.
Due to the lack of SSP staff available for the racing events to be moved to from
Friday night, August 18 to Saturday night, August 19, the events will remain on
Friday, August 18. The night will feature the Trail Motors Super Sportsman, Late
Models, Street Stocks and a Mini Van Construction race.
The Susquehanna Speedway Park is located off I-83 to exit 32, then 1.4 miles NW
on SR382 to York Road, then 1.3 miles south. For more information, contact the
speedway offices at (717) 292-1696 or visit online at sspracing.net. On raceday,

Two National Sprint Tour features on
Thursday and the Return of the ARDC Midgets on Friday at SSP
NEWBERRYTOWN, PA (August 1, 2006) The National Sprint Tour featuring Steve
Kinser, Brian Paulus, Tim Kaeding and Danny Lasoski returns to the Susquehanna
Speedway Park in a history making way on Thursday night, August 3 with two
separate feature events. Along with the Sprint Cars, fans will see the Xtreme
Stock Cars and Penn Mar Vintage Cars.
With the help of Central PA based Arnold Transportation and Jakes Carts, SSP is
also proud to announce that the general admission ticket price for Adults has
been reduced from $30.00 to $20.00. All advance ticket purchasers currently
holding tickets for either June 9 or August 3 may visit the SSP souvenir stand
for their choice of either a $14.00 Adult general admission ticket to be used at
a later date or $10.00 in SSP gift certificates. The ticket holder must present
the ticket to be punched at this time.
The racing events scheduled for Friday night, June 9 were canceled due to
afternoon thunderstorms hitting the speedway grounds. Advance ticket sale
purchases for Friday, June 9 may use the ticket at the front gate for admission
on Thursday, August 3 for the return of the National Sprint Tour to central
Pennsylvania.
The NST will run its normal round of qualifying, followed by heats, dashes to
set the first six rows, B Main, then a 25 lap A-main presented by Arnold
Transportation. This first A-Main will pay 75% of the normal purse
($7,500-to-win). Following the first A-Main, there will be an approximate 15
minute break to weigh the finishers and put in fuel, but no new right rear
tires. Then, the entire field will return to the track for a 15lap A Plus Main
presented by Jakes Carts. The field will be set as follows: all cars on the
lead lap of the first A-main will be inverted; all cars not on the lead lap will
start behind the inverted field. The purse will be for the balance of the 25%
not paid in the first A-Main.
As Lonnie Parsons of the #6 Caseys General Store car driven by Dean Jacobs put
it: I know what the fans are going to think: theyll love it. And rightfully
so. I think it will be exciting to try something a little different, and how
could there be anything wrong with encouraging passing. Knoxville used to do
something like this and those sure were exciting races. I hope our fans at SSP
enjoy it.
Gates will open for both the pit area and grandstand area at 4:00 p.m. on
Thursday, August 3. Qualifying begins at 6:30 p.m. with racing action beginning
at 7:30 p.m. There is no Repeat Fan Discount for this event as the ticket prices
have already been lowered. Grandstand ticket prices are Adults & Teens (13 &
older) $20.00; Children (6 - 12) $12.00; and Children (5 & under) are free. Pit
pass prices are $32.00 with a reduced rate for SSP license holders.
Then on Friday night, August 4, it will be Camera & Autograph Night featuring
the ARDC Midgets, Late Models, Classic Cars and Women on Wheels Stock Cars in
competition along with a York Haven Auto Sales Mini Van Snake Race. All fans
will have the opportunity to meet their favorite drivers with their cars on the
frontstretch before the feature events.
Gates will open for both the pit area and grandstand area at 5:00 p.m. on
Friday, August 4. Warmups begin at 7:00 p.m. with racing action beginning at

Teens (13-17) $8.00; and Children (12 & under) are free. Pit pass prices are

Socks, Erhart, Frye and Hauenstein Wins at
SSP on Friday Night
Newberrytown, PA (July 28, 2006) David Socks of Hagerstown, Md., collected his
first career Super Sportsman feature Friday night at Susquehanna Speedway Park.
The night of season first-time winners continued in the Late Model features as
Justin Erhart, who celebrated by doing a back flip off his car in Victory Lane,
and Coleby Frye, both of Dover, won their respective main events. Frye captured
the Late Model feature postponed from July 21. Also, Brian Hauenstein collected
the 20-lap Street Stock feature and became the ninth different driver to win as
many features at Susquehanna Speedway Park this season.
Socks started on the front row of the 20-lap Trail Motors Super Sportsman
feature and was leading LeRoy Martin when the first caution came out on lap 3
for points leader Dave Calaman who had mechanical problems and stopped on the
track.
A multi-car crash stopped the feature on lap 4. Cars driven by John Stehman and
Brian Boughter flipped over several times. Aaron Eichelberger and Art Leidl were
also involved in the incident. No one was injured.
When green flag racing resumed, Socks continued to distance himself from the
rest of the pack. After several caution periods, Socks went on to post a
commanding victory over Steve Fannasy, Jim Shuttlesworth, Bobby Hockenberry and
Martin.
Aaron Eichelberger, Martin and Hockenberry won heat races for the 28 Super
Sportsman cars.
Erhart was spectacular in the 20-lap Late Model feature race. He passed Jerry
Bard on lap 13 then briefly relinquished the lead on lap 17 when John Ebersole
passed for the top spot, but Ebersole fumbled in turn 2 which allowed Ehrhart to
regain the lead. The race was placed under caution on the final lap, but Erhart
topped Gerry Stutting Jr., Ebersole,
In the 20-lap makeup Late Model feature, Frye took advantage of Jake Jones lap
18 misfortune. Frye led the final two laps for the win over Derrick Zirkle, Mike
Spangler, Sterling Kinard and Gene Wrightstone.
Jerry Bard, Justin Erhart and Jake Jones won heat races for the 38 Late Models.
Les Hare won the consolation.
Hauenstein passed Joey Hoffer midway through the 20-lap Street Stock feature
after surviving several caution periods. Over the final half, Hauenstein, who
started seventh, pulled away from Hoffer by five-car lengths for the victory.
Hoffer settled for second followed by Wes Alleman, Eric Walker and Joe Whiteley.
Heat races for the 26 cars went to Hoffer, Walker and Sam Leonard Jr.
With the help of Central PA based Arnold Transportation and Jakes Carts, SSP is
proud to announce that the general admission ticket price for Adults and Teens

BUCKWALTER, DUNSTAN AND MURPHY TOP SUPER
SHOW
Newberrytown, PA (July 3, 2006) Steve Buckwalter led the final 15 laps of
Monday nights ARDC Midget 20-lap main event at Susquehanna Speedway Park,
claiming the main event in the inaugural Eichelbergers U-Pull It Super Show.
In other action, Ronnie Dunstan won the 20-lap legends car feature race while
Ben Murphy won his first 600 cc micro sprint feature at the speedway.
This feels really good to get back in Victory Lane, Buckwalter said. It
always feels good to win a feature.
The win was Buckwalters second victory of the season at the speedway. It was
his first since taking over an area 410 Sprint Car.
It is a bit different, Buckwalter said. It takes you about a lap or two to
get adjusted from racing with a wing to running a midget wingless. Without a
wing, the car just wants to slide.
Buckwalter passed Michele Miller on lap 5 of the 20-lap main event. He then
withstood several caution periods and defeated Tracy Readinger, Dave Ely, Ray
Bull and Andy Martin.
Heats for the 27 cars went to Miller, Donnie Trent and Eric Heydenreich.
Ronnie Dunstan passed Jason Rochelle late in the race for the victory in the
20-lap legends car feature. Geremy Sheaffer, Jeff Condran and Pat Zellers
completed the top five.
Ben Murphy beat his brother Jake in the 20-lap 600 cc micro sprint main. Dwayne
Gutshall, Nathan Hauck and Jimmy Brookens filled the top-five spots.
Susquehanna Speedway Park will take a two-week break from action. As a courtesy
to Morgan Hughes and Justin Loh of the Williams Grove Speedway, SSP canceled its
July 20 sprint car show featuring Twin 20 main events, but it will feature a
program featuring the Xtreme Stock Cars (regular feature and postponed race for
June 22), WoO Stocks, Speedway Auto Sales Mini Vans, Great American School
Buses, legend cars, a sprint car wheelie contest, one-on-one street car drags
and kids money scramble.
The Susquehanna Speedway Park is located off I-83 to exit 32, then 1.4 miles NW
on SR382 to York Road, then 1.3 miles south. For more information, contact the
speedway offices at (717) 292-1696 or visit online at

encouraged to call (717) 938-9170 for current weather conditions.

Four New Names to the 2006 Feature Winners
List at SSP on Friday Night
Newberrytown, PA (June 16, 2006) It was once again a night of new faces in
victory lane on Friday night at the Susquehanna Speedway Park with four names
added to the list of 2006 feature event winners. Lanny Hake picked up a popular
feature win in the 20-lap Trail Motors Super Sportsman event with Larry Baer
visiting victory lane after the 20-lap Late Model event. Eric Walker picked up
his first win of the year in the 20-lap Street Stock feature event. Jeff
Svendsen won the Speedway Auto Sales Mini Van Construction race.
Lanny Hake from Dover jumped out to an early lead over Aaron Eichelberger in the
20 lap Trail Motor Super Sportsman feature. By lap nine, Russ Mitten moved from
sixth into the runner-up position and began to challenge Hake for the lead.
However, as Mitten began to make his move, Dave Calaman joined the battle and
exchanged places back and forth with Mitten towards the end of the race. This
battle allowed Hake to extend his lead. Once Calaman gained control of second
place, he set his sights on the leader. Coming to the finish, Hake won by less
than two car lengths over Calaman with Mitten finishing third. Jim Shuttlesworth
finished fourth after starting in the 20th spot. Ryan Rupp rounded out the top
five. Hake and Mitten won the qualifying heat races.
In Late Model action, Randy Christine Jr. jumped out to the early lead from the
pole position. Rocky Magaro inherited the lead on lap two from Christine and set
the pace for through lap 15. Larry Baer charged past Magaro on lap 16. Baer
started tenth and steadily maneuvered his way through traffic to take the lead.
Once in the lead, Baer never looked back. Carl Billet finished a strong second
place by coming all the way from a twelfth place starting spot. Magaro finished
a solid third place with Josh Kimmel and Chuck Yingling finishing fourth and
fifth. Baer also moved into the point lead in a very tight and competitive SSP
Late Model Championship series. Larry Baer, Randy Christine and Tim Fedder won
the heat races and Scott McCann Jr. won the consolation event.
Eric Walker became the sixth different winner in as many races in the highly
competitive Street Stock Division. Once again a blanket could be thrown over the
top four drivers for many laps of the feature event. Walker was able to led all
twenty laps from his outside front row starting position, however it was not as
easy as it sounds. Scott Thunberg challenged but had to settle for second. Brian
Hauenstein, Sam Leonard Jr., and Gary Johnston completed the top five. Heat
winners were Chad Millikin and Eric Walker.
In the 10-lap Speedway Auto Sales Mini Van Construction race, Jeff Svendsen
picked up his first career Mini Van win. Steve Hitz, Dave Olsen, Brandon Ort and
Butch Richcreek finished second through fifth respectively.
The Sprint Cars return to SSP on Thursday night, June 22 featuring the
ever-popular Kids Box Car Racing along with Sprint Cars, Xtreme Stock Cars,
Classic Cylinders and a make up Xtreme Stock Car feature from June 1. Lots of

NEWBERRYTOWN, PA (June 13, 2006) The 2006 Advance Auto Parts Super Dirt
Modified Series returns to the Susquehanna Speedway Park on Thursday, June 15
for the $6,000 to win Palmer Candys Schools Out 100. If it wasnt enough to
see an Advanced Auto Parts Super DIRT Modified Series and three former modified
champions challenge the Great American School Bus Racers, then what else can
satisfy your sweet tooth? What about a make-up Sprint Car feature?
R.M. Palmer Company, Americas favorite holiday candy since 1948 will host the
gala evening of racing that now includes a complete 25-lap Sprint Car feature at
no extra admission cost. Susquehanna Speedway Parks owners, Todd and Rhonda
Fisher and DIRT Modified promoter Vince Vicari have agreed to run the regularly
scheduled events with the Big Block Modifieds which will include the Xtreme
Stock Cars, the Penn Mar Vintage Club, the Great American School Bus Race and a
410 sprint car feature rained out from June 1st.
Fans from the June 1st postponed event can use their rain checks ($14.00 value)
in combination with a Repeat Fan discount ($5.00) for attending the June 8th
National Sprint Tour event and pay just $6 for the Palmer Candy Schools Out 100
DIRT Modified show and 25-lap Sprint Car feature on June 15th.
Former RSCA champions Kenny Brightbill, Jack Johnson and Jamie Mills will also
be competing against the locals in the Great American Bus Race. It has been said
around the speedway that there is no way those modified boys are taking that
trophy.
The DIRT Touring Twelve Modifieds will be led by current point leader Billy
Decker, defending champion Tim Fuller and two-time Susquehanna winner Brett
Hearn. Kenny Brightbill and New Egypt champion, Frank Cozze have each won DIRT
events in the past at Susquehanna and will lead the local posse.
This event will have everything, says Mark Schlott, Vice President of
Operations for Palmer Candy. The fans should feel like kids in a candy store,
he added jokingly, With a little help from Palmer Candy, of course.
On Friday night, June 16, the Trail Motors Super Sportsman, Late Models and

Construction race.

Postponed June 1 Sprint Feature Added with DIRT Big Block Modifieds on June 15 -
If it wasnt enough to see an Advanced Auto Parts Super DIRT Modified Series at
Susquehanna Speedway Park on Thursday, June 15th in the Palmer Candy Schools
Out 100 and three former modified champions challenge the Great American School
Bus Racers, then what else can satisfy your sweet tooth? What about a make-up
Sprint Car feature?
R.M. Palmer Company, Americas favorite holiday candy since 1948 will host the
gala evening of racing that now includes a complete 25-lap Sprint Car feature at
no extra admission cost. Susquehanna Speedway Parks owners, Todd and Rhonda
Fisher and DIRT Modified promoter Vince Vicari have agreed to run the regularly
scheduled events with the Big Block Modifieds which will include the Xtreme
Stock Cars, the Penn Mar Vintage Club, the Great American School Bus Race and a
410 sprint car feature rained out from June 1st.
Fans from the June 1st postponed event can use their rain checks ($14.00 value)
in combination with a Repeat Fan discount ($5.00) for attending the June 8th or

Racing Events Cancelled for Friday Night
at SSP
NEWBERRYTOWN, PA (June 2, 2006) The racing events scheduled for Friday night,

circuits around the track. Shortly after the thunder strike, an unidentified
vehicle ran into an electrical pole in front of the speedway thus causing
another temporary blackout the track. The severely damaged pole may not be fixed
for two days by the power company. Also the 90% forecast of more severe
thunderstorms for Friday evening played a role in the early cancellation.

Construction race. The Construction race replaces the Mini Van Doughnut Delivery
race which was originally scheduled. The Friday night events will not be

Snelbaker, McCann and Gutshall Add Their
Names to the 2006 Feature Winners List at SSP on Friday Night
Newberrytown, PA (May 26, 2006) It was a night of new faces in victory lane on
Friday night at the Susuquehanna Speedway Park. Smokey Snelbaker won in the
20-lap Trail Motors Super Sportsman event with Scott McCann Jr. winning the
20-lap Late Model event. Bob Gutshall Jr. picked up the 20-lap Street Stock
feature event. Timothy Watson won his second straight Mini Van race.
Smokey Snelbaker may be 68 years old and have some gray hair, but that has not
slowed down the Dover, Pennsylvania pilot as he took over the lead from Dave
Socks on lap 4 of the Trail Motors Super Sportsman feature. The next four spots
found new faces breaking into the top five spots for the 2006 season. Jason Fry
picked up his first top five finish of the season by trailing Snelbaker at the
line to claim the second spot. Scott Dellingner, Bobby Hockenberry and Dave
Socks battled furiously for the entire event with many passes among themselves.
At the end it was Dellingner, Hockenberry and Socks third through fifth
respectively. Snelbaker, Fry and Dellingner won the three qualifying heat races
as well.
In Late Model action, Charlie Potts jumped out to the lead from his outside
front row starting position. Scott McCann Jr. started just behind Potts in the
fourth position and overtook Potts on the seventh lap of the 20-lap event.
McCann led the remaining thirteen circuits to pick up his first win of the 2006
SSP season. Potts came across the line second with Carl Billet finishing third.
Billet came through the traffic from his twelfth place staring spot. John
Ebersole and Sterling Kinard rounded out the top five. Larry Baer, Randy
Christine Jr and Potts won the heat races and Gene Wrightstone won the
consolation event.
Bob Gutshall Jr. became the fifth different winner in as many races in the
highly competitive Street Stock Division. In an event where any of the 24
drivers can win the feature race, Gutshall started on the pole and never looked
back as he led all 20 laps. Chad Smith continues to impress many people as he
followed Gutshall to finish second. 2005 SSP Street Stock champion, Wes Alleman,
continues to look for his first SSP feature win and had to settle for third. Sam
Leonard Jr. and Brian Hauenstein finished fourth and fifth. Heat winners were
2006 point leader Kory Sites, Chad Millikin and Gutshall.
In the York Haven Auto Sales Super Oval Mini Van race, Scott Keller jumped out
to the early lead in the 10-lap event until Timothy Watson overtook him on the
seventh lap. Watson led the final three laps to pick up his second straight Mini
Van feature event. Keller finished second with Jeff Svendsen, Sherry Kitner and
Butch Richcreek rounding out the top five.
The Sprint Cars return to SSP on Thursday night, June 1 with the One-on-One

Hodnett Sets Feature Record With 13th
Career SSP Sprint Car Feature on Thursday Night
Newberrytown, PA (May 25, 2006) Its always difficult beating Greg Hodnett,
but when he gets the lead on lap 9 and the race goes non-stop, it nearly
impossible to beat him. Hodnett claimed Thursday nights 25-lap sprint car
feature at Susquehanna Speedway Park in record fashion. He steered the Al
Hamilton-owned No. 77 around the speedway in 6:52.009, breaking Steve Smiths
14-year mark of 7:00.59. In other action, Larry Hughes Jr. won the 25-lap Xtreme
Stock Car feature event. Kenny Johns was victorious in the 20-lap Xtreme Rookie
Rumber, Randy Kissinger won the 15-lap Legends Car feature and Joe Thomas
captured the Great American School Bus Race.
As for Hodnett, it was his third win of the year at SSP and 13th career here. "I
like it when races go non-stop," Hodnett said. "Some guys get tired especially
if the car isn't working right. Crew chief Tim Elwell had the car perfect. It
makes it a lot easier on the driver. Hodnett started 10th in the 19-car field
and was running in second to Alan Krimes by the fourth lap. Krimes settled for a
season-best second followed by Fred Rahmer, Chad Layton and Bobby Weaver. Rahmer
and Layton, both potential winners since Lance Dewease didn't start the feature
due to engine problems, didn't find it as easy getting through the field.
Hodnett knew it was important getting to the front. "You never want to take your
time with guys like Fred, Chad and Lance behind you," Hodnett said. "I think the
key was getting up there quick, because the track was really fast. Lapped
traffic played a part for many competitors down the stretch, but Hodnett had
relative ease. Blane Heimbach settled for sixth followed by Michael Carber,
Craig Kee, Cody Darra and Cory Haas. Bobby Weaver and Rahmer won heats for the
18 cars.
Larry Hughes Jr. captured the non-stop 25-lap Xtreme Stock Car feature over Mike
Goodwin, Matt Smith, John Hiden Jr. and Charlie Pensinger.
Randy Kissinger held off Jason Rochelle in the 15-lap Legends Car feature. Joe
Thomas set a 10-lap record (5:32.22) in the Great American School Bus Race.
The next race at SSP will be tomorrow night, Friday night, May 26 with the Trail
Motors Super Sportsman returning to SSP along with the Late Models and Street
Stocks. There will also be a York Haven Auto Sales Mini Van Super Oval Race.
The Sprint Cars return to SSP on Thursday night, June 1 with the One-on-One
Street Car Drags, Sprint Cars, Xtreme Stock Cars and Four Cylinders.

Heimbach Wins First Career SSP Sprint Car
Feature on Thursday Night
Newberrytown, PA (May 18,2006) Blane Heimbach finally quenched his thirst of
beating the sprint car top guns Thursday night at Susquehanna Speedway Park.
More importantly, its the first time the 24-year-old driver from Selinsgrove
claimed a sprint car feature at the speedway. He is the 132nd different driver
to win a main event at SSP.
Larry Hughes Jr. captured the 20-lap Xtreme Stock Car Feature while Bob Bender
Jr. won the Xtreme Stock Car Rookie Rumble main and Rob Casti captured the
12-lap Penn-Mar Vintage Car main.
"This division is so difficult and to get to this level and pass cars means a
lot, Heimbach said. It was the 30th career win at the track for car owner Jeff
Creasy. "When you come here, you have to race against guys like Rahmer, Hodnett
and Layton," Heimbach said. "You race against them and watch them win every
weekend. You keep hoping that one day you can beat them. Chad Layton settled
for second followed by Greg Hodnett, Fred Rahmer and Cory Haas.
Bob Bennett grabbed the lead at the start. The field was placed under caution
after the first lap when Glenndon Forsythe stopped in turn 2.Michael Carber

mechanical problems.

Wilbur, Hoffer, Rochelle and Richcreek All
Pick Up Their First 2006 SSP Wins on Friday Night
Newberrytown, PA (May 12, 2006) The hot starting spot of the night was the
outside front row as two out of the four feature winners started in that
position. Steve Wilbur won the non-stop Trail Motors Super Sportsman feature
event at the Susquehanna Speedway Park on Friday evening. Joey Hoffer wired the
field to win the exciting Street Stock feature event. Jason Rochelle won the
Legends Cars event. Babe Richcreek picked up another career victory for the
Richcreek family in the Speedway Auto Sales Women on Wheels Mini Van race.
The non-stop Trail Motors Super Sportsman 20 lap feature event was won by
outside front row starter, Steve Wilbur. Wilbur fell 0.59 seconds short of
breaking the old 20-lap track record held by Danny Hager from 4-16-95. The
eleven year old mark was 6 minutes and 31.00 seconds. The closeness to the old
mark is a testimonial to the lack of major changes to the rules over then past
fifteen years. Frankie Herr and Dave Calaman moved furiously through the pack
but had to settle for second and fourth places respectively. Both drivers
started midway through the field in eleventh and twelfth positions. Finishing
third was the heat race winner John Stehman. Tenth place started, Jim
Shuttlesworth also moved through the field to round out the top five. The other
heat race wins went to Wilbur and Herr. Ryan Rupp won the consolation event.
Also from his outside front row starting spot, Joey Hoffer jumped into the early
lead and never looked back. Had he looked back he would have seen many
challengers throughout the entire 20 lap event. Joe Whitely and Brian Hauenstein
pursued the young Hoffer, but were unable to make the pass for the lead. Both
drivers had to settle for second and third place respectively. Kory Sites and
Chad Smith rounded out the top five positions. Heat race wins went to Whitely
and Chad Milliken.
The Legends Cars almost saw the third outside front row starter of the night win
the third feature event. Tim Tomson led the first fourteen circuits before
twelfth place starter Jason Rochelle made a last lap pace for the victory.
Tomson settled for second with Ronnie Dunstan in third. Stephen Nederostek and
Rodney Kistler came home fourth and fifth. A stellar field of 35 cars saw Greg
Burd, Tomson and Randy Kissinger winning the heat races. Lawrence Garrison won
the consolation event.
In the 10-lap Speedway Auto Sales Women on Wheels Mini Van Race, Babe Richcreek
continued the winning ways of the Richcreek dynasty by picking up the win. The
late Butch Richcreek won several Street Stock championships and feature wins
throughout his Susquehanna Speedway career. His son, Butchy Richcreek has
carried on the tradition with 10 career Mini Van victories and now Butchys
mother has added her name to the SSP career winners list. Amy Crider jumped out
to an early lead and led the first seven circuits of the race. On the eighth
lap, Mean Aunt Helen overtook Crider and was passed one lap later by Richcreek.
Weaving in and out of lapped traffic at the end, Richcreek held off Crider for
the win with a hard charging Deanna Frye finishing third. Mean Aunt Helen
finished fourth followed by Melissa Deskin in fifth.
The Sprint Cars return to SSP on Thursday night, May 18 with the Xtreme Stock
Cars and Penn Mar Vintage Cars. The Ugliest Car Contest will also be held on
Thursday night. The winner will receive $100.00 and will be chosen by the fans
in attendance. There is no entry fee, however all entrants must pre-enter by

Newberrytown, PA (May 5, 2006) - Steve Buckwalter won the thrilling 20-lap ARDC
Midget at the Susquehanna Speedway Park on Friday evening. Sam Leonard Jr. wired
the field to win the Street Stock feature event as did Les Hare in Late Model
action. Butch Richcreek picked up another career victory in the York Haven Auto
Sales Mini Van Construction race.
In ARDC Midget action, polesitter Corey Becker jumped out to the early lead over
Michelle Miller. On the fourth circuit, Steve Buckwalter went from fourth to
first and never looked back. A tremendous battle for position occurred behind
Buckwalter for the remainder of the race. Two cautions on laps nine and eleven
closed the field behind Buckwalter but no one was able to challenge Buckwalter
for the lead with the exception of second place finisher and 2005 ARDC Champion,
Ray Bull on the lap eleven restart. Bull nosed under Buckwalter in turn one and
two, but could not get the run he needed to complete the pass. Behind Buckwater
and Bull, Tom Hessert, Eric Heydenreich and Steve Lenig completed the top five.
Heat wins went to Donnie Trent and Tom Hessert.
Sam Leonard Jr. picked up the 20-lap Street Stock feature event as he led every
lap of the feature from the pole position. Scott Thunberg and Chad Smith
challenged Leonard but had to settle for second and third respectively. 2005 SSP
Street Stock champion Wes Alleman finished fourth with Kory Sites finishing
fifth. Heat race wins went to Leonard and Kyle Saylor.
Chad Smith won the Clean Technologies Young Guns Street Stock Dash featuring
drivers 21 years of age and younger. There will be three more dash races on June
23, July 28 and August 18.
In the 10-lap York Haven Auto Sales Mini Van Construction Race, Butch Richcreek
picked up the victory over early leader Raul Anavitarte. Anavitarte jumped out
to any early lead from his outside front row starting spot. For the first seven
laps, Anavitarte set the pace as Richcreek moved methodically through the field
from his tenth starting spot. A caution on lap 7 put Richcreek on the rear
bumper of Anavitarte. On the restart, Richcreek passed second place finisher
Anavitarte and then cruised to the victory. Daryl Sipe, Jeff Svendsena and Mark
Amsbaugh rounded out the top five.
In a caution-filled Late Model feature event, Les Hare stayed up front for the
entire event from his pole position starting spot. The hard charger award of the
night goes to Coleby Frye who finished second, coming all the way from a 17th
place starting position. Frye edged out Justin Ehrhart by a nose at the finish.
Scott Lupfer and Chuck Yingling rounded out the top five. Yingling also moved
from a starting spot deep in the pack to finish in the top five. Lupfer, Hare
and Rocky Magaro won the heat races as Pat Beard won the consolation event.

Rahmer Wins 30th Career SSP Sprint Car
Feature Thursday Night
Newberrytown, PA (May 4, 2006) - Fred Rahmer raced to his second Susquehanna
Speedway Park win of the season in Thursday nights 25-lap Sprint Car feature.
Gene Knaub won the Xtreme Stock Car feature, while Brent Fogelsanger drove
Knaubs car to victory in the XSC Rookie Rumble. Bill Brown Sr. won the
Northeast Classic Car feature event.
Sallfordville's Fred Rahmer, who drives for Grantville's Jim and Sandy Kline,
looked as if he was going after his first win rather than his 361st in a sprint
car. The win was his 30th career at SSP, placing him five behind all-time
feature winner John Mackison Sr. "I didn't even know who has the all-time record
here," Rahmer said. "I know I'm just as determined to come here next week and
win again. That's how I am. You're only as good as your last race in this game.
We have things figured out on this team, so I think you'll be seeing us some
more in Victory Lane."
Although Rahmer collected the $3,500 winning prize, he admittedly wasn't the
fastest on the track. That honor belonged to Lance Dewease and Chad Layton. Both
drivers weaved through traffic, but Dewease fell short and finished third while
Layton came from 17th to second when the race ended.
Bobby Weaver led Cody Darrah, a Red Lion sophomore, through most of the early
stages. Bob Bennett came to a stop in turn 1 after the second circuit causing a
caution period. Darrah grabbed the lead as he exited turn 2 on lap 6. He pulled
away by seven-car lengths by lap 10. Dewease moved into fourth on lap 14. He was
in the runner-up spot a lap later after he passed Alan Krimes and Weaver stopped
on the track with mechanical failure.
Rahmer's power showed on the restart. He blasted by Michael Carber for third and
Dewease for second before the field reached turn 2. He tracked down Darrah in
turn 2 on lap 18. "He drove a good race," Rahmer said. "That's not a 16-year-old
kid in the car. That's an Eckert in there." Rahmer was alluding to Darrah's
uncle Rick Eckert, a top World of Outlaws Late Model driver.
"It was an awesome leading the feature," Darrah said. "I knew those big-name
guys were charging towards the front, and it was a great knowing they were
chasing me." Layton, Dewease and two-time feature winner Greg Hodnett soon went
charging by. "Those caution periods hurt me," Darrah said. "I started to get
nervous, because I had time to think about those guys racing close to me."
Darrah finished eighth.
Layton knew Rahmer had the good car down the stretch. "He drove away from me
following the restart," Layton said. "He got the win, because he had the good
car." Chad Layton raced forward from the 17th starting spot for second, with
Lance Dewease third. Greg Hodnett and Blane Heimbach completed the top five.
Rounding out the top ten were Michael Carber, Eric Stambaugh, Darrah, Craig
Keel, and Cory Haas. Heats went to Weaver and Darrah.
Gene Knaub had a very eventful evening. After arriving at the speedway, Knaubs
regular ride, the Updegraff number 57 was sold, so Knaub had to take a ride in
his own car, which Brent Fogelsanger has been racing in the Rookie Rumble races.
Knaub came from the backto win the BPS trucking Elimination Dash, and then came
from last in the 17 car field to win the Xtreme Stock feature. Kanub took the
lead from Mike Goodwin on the ninth of 25 laps. Goodwin finished second followed
by Rick Reinoehl, Charlie Pensinger and Adam Smith. Knaubs win was his third of
the season.
Fogelsanger also drove Knaubs car to victory in the Rookie Rumble.
Fogelsangers win was his third of the season as well. John Scrivens, Ken Johns,
Brian Shue and Randy Gladfelter completed the top five.
Bill Brown Sr. led all 15 laps to win the first Northeast Classic car feature at
SSP this season. AllenCullum, Jim Crocker, Kurt Welsh and Joe Snodgrass
completed the top five. Heats went to Brown and Cullum.
The Sprint Cars return to SSP on Thursday night, May 11 with the Xtreme Stock
Cars and Women on Wheels Stock Cars. It will also be Mothers Appreciation Night
in which all mothers will receive a special gift.

on to score the $3500 victory, his 12th career SSP win. Hodnett has won $8,500

win. Morrow had to settle for second place with Ronnie Dunstan third. Geremy
Schaeffer and Randy Kissinger completed the top five. Tim Tomson, who raced with
the leaders for the entire distance suffered mechanical problems on the final
lap, and crossed in 24th spot.

four finishers in the non stop 25 lap event. Reinoehl finished second with Larry

RSCA Champs Going to School
DIRT Modifieds Return to Susquehanna Speedway Park June 15
Newberrytown, PA: The 2006 Advanced Auto Parts Super DIRT Series returns to
the action-packed Susquehanna Speedway Park oval on Thursday, June 15th. The
mighty modifieds will be part of a two-day Pennsylvania swing for the New
York based circuit.
Susquehanna Speedway Park management, Todd and Rhonda Fisher and promoter,
Vince Vicari has agreed to run the regularly scheduled events with the
modifieds which will include the Extreme stocks, the Penn Mar Vintage Club
racers and the Great American School Bus Race.
"DIRT has given us an opportunity to have the modifieds return to
Susquehanna," said Vicari. "This will present another interesting event in
the series where the playing field is a neutral site."
As a matter of fact, one of the largest margins of victory by a home track
driver over the DIRT boys was a 100 lapper back on July 24, 1996 when Kenny
Brightbill lapped the entire field following the runner up, Jack Johnson,
across the finish line.
Brightbill will be joined by two more RSCA champions, New York's Jack
Johnson and Delaware's Jamie Mills, in the Great American School Bus Race.
It will be the first look for modified fans to see Todd Fisher's popular and
successful School Bus Race promotion. All three drivers are former RSCA
champions and will challenge the local school bus racers.
"Susquehanna is an exciting track for the fans," says Kenny Brightbill.
"It's a racy track and I think that is what the fans like to see. I know the
drivers like that too."
New York's Jack Johnson agrees. "This is one of my favorite tracks to race
and I had a lot of success here. I hope I can recapture a little of that
luck."
Mills' title came at Susquehanna and is thrilled to be returning in a big
block modified. Jamie was the first Delaware driver to win an RSCA modified
event and a point championship and both accomplishments were at Susky.
However, Jamie seems to be more focused on the Great American School Bus
Race. "I can't wait to get behind the wheel. I want to win this race," Mills
kidded. "It will be a lot of fun."
Gates will open at 5:00 PM with time trials to begin at 6:30 PM. Racing will
start at 7:30 PM, the regular scheduled time for Thursday nights. All those
attending the June 8th or June 9th events at Susquehanna Speedway Park will
receive a grandstand only $5.00 off coupon for the DIRT modified event on
June 15th.
The DIRT Touring Modifieds will be coming to Pennsylvania for a two-day
swing led by defending champion Tim Fuller and two-time Susquehanna winner
Brett Hearn. Five 100 lappers and one 200 lap shows were run under the DIRT
banner at Susquehanna. Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey have taken home
two victories each.
Two-time New Egypt champion, Frank Cozze, won the inaugural race in 1994, while
a Johnson, Alan, Danny and Jack have finished first or second in five of the six
races
including twelve top five placings. In fact, the only non-Johnson to garner a
runner-up
is Craig VonDohren, another Susquehanna champ who is second only to Brightbill
in all-time modified wins at the speedway.

third spot as second and third starters Greg Hodentt and Lance Dewease battled
continuosly for the lead. Hodnett was credited with leading all but one of the
first 20 laps, but Dewease was right there. So was Rahmer, who made quick work
of first Dewease then Hodnett to take over the top spot on the 21st lap. Rahmer
went on to score the $3,500 victory for his 29th career SSP win.
Hodnett had to settle for second spot, with Chad Layton coming from ninth to
take third. Dewease and Eric Stambaugh completed the top five. Blane Heimbach,
Michael Carber, Alan Krimes, Cory Haas and Bobby Weaver completed the top ten.
Heats went to Dewease and Carber
Ronnie Dunstan vaulted from the fifth starting spot to the lead on the first lap
of the 15 lap Legends feature, but yielded the top spot to team mate Jason
Rochelle on lap seven. Dunstan hounded Rochelle throughout the event, and
regained the lead on the final turn. The win was Dunstans sixth Legends win at
SSP moving him into a tie with Tim Tomson for the top spot in that class.
Dunstan also owns 12 SSP Late Model wins, and four SSP Midget wins. Rochelle,
Lawrence Garrison, Randy Kissinger, and Josh Morrow rounded out the top five.
Gene Knaub came from mid pack to challenge Larry Hughes for the lead in the 25
lap Xtreme Stock feature event. After numerous laps of bumper to bumper and door
to door racing, Knaub took over the lead on the 18th lap and went on to score
his seventh career division win. Hughes finished second followed by defending
track champ Mike Goodwin, Daryl Beakler, and Travis Horan.
Brent Fogelsanger also came from midpack to track down early leader Rich Lomman
on the 11th of 15 laps in the Rookie Rumble. Lomman had to settle for second
followed by Andrew Frye, Brian Shue, and John Chamberlain.
