Rahmer Wins at SSP on Sunday Night

Rahmer started ninth in the Sprint Car  event but wasted little time getting 
to the front.  Longtime racing veteran Bobby Weaver  took the early lead from 
the front row with Lance Dewease quickly moving into  second place.  Rahmer 
was already up  to third when Dewease suffered mechanical troubles on the 
seventh lap.  On the restart Rahmer and Weaver raced  wheel to wheel for nearly a 
lap before Rahmer took command.  Rahmer then led the remainder of the  distance 
for his 27th career SSP win, which move him into a fifth  place tie with Lynn 
Paxton on the alltime list. 
Weaver fended off repeated challenges  from Eric Stambaugh to nail down 
second place, with Stambaugh, Greg Hodnett and  Brian Leppo, in the Apple 
Motorsports machine, in the top five.  Rounding out the top ten were Stevie  Smith, 
Blane Heimbach, Johnny Mackison Jr., Michael Carber, and Lucas Wolfe.  Heats went 
to Stambaugh and Rahmer, with Brent Kluge taking the  consy. 
Rick Reinoehl return to action for the  first time in several years, and 
drove to victory in the Xtreme Stock 25 lap  feature.  Reinoehl took the lead  
from Rick Christine on the 11th lap.  Daryl Beakler finished second withSmoke  
Christine, Rick Christine and Bryon Sipe in the top five.  Rick Christine ‘s car 
failed post race  tech, moving Sipe to fourth and Chris Mudd to fifth.  Heats 
went to Charlie Pensinger and Bob  Bender, with Mike Goodwin taking the Pepsi 
Dash 
Deanna “Smokette�?? Frye won the WOW  event taking the lead from Karen Powell 
on the second of 12 laps.  Deanna is the daughter of former late  model 
champion Smokey Frye.  Nacy  Horan, the winner’s aunt finished second followed by 
Kendra Knaub, Powell, and  Elizabeth Berman completed the top five.

taking the lead on the tenth of 12 laps in  the Great American School Bus 
Race.  They finished in that order with Leon Wintermyer, Shawn Arndt and Alan  
Witmer in the top five.
