Goodwin Doubles at SSP on Saturday Night

Goodwin and Richcreek  Victorious at SSP’s Inaugural Pumpkin 200  

NEWBERRYTOWN,  PA (October 1, 2005) – The Inaugural Pumpkin 200 Enduro for 
the Xtreme Stock  Cars on Saturday, October 1 at the Susquehanna Speedway Park 
went to Michael  Goodwin of Wellsville.  In a very  spirited Great American 
School Bus race, Michael Goodwin also edged out Jeff  Ebersole and Howard Ebaugh. 
 In the  Speedway Auto Sales Mini Van feature, Butch Richcreek continued his 
winning  streak by beating Timothy Watson and Daryl Sipe. 
Polesitter  Jason Bowers brought the 28-car field to the green, but it was 
outside  polesitter Raymond Repp jumping to the lead on lap one.  Repp held onto 
the lead until lap eight  when Michael Goodwin, who started fourth, took 
command of the top spot.  A few yellow flags over the first 100  laps did not 
allow anyone to challenge Goodwin for the lead.  At the halfway mark, Goodwin had 
a  quarter lap advantage over Charlie Pensinger and Bill Fulton.  Midway 
through the race, Goodwin,  Pensinger and Fulton were the only cars remaining on 
the led  lap. 
After  lap 100, Pensinger began to close the gap on Goodwin as Goodwin tried 
to put  third place runner Fulton a lap down.  On lap 114, Pensinger retired 
to the pit area with mechancal failure,  giving a lot of breathing room to 
Goodwin.  At lap 120, Goodwin held the lead over, Fulton, Raymond Repp, Brian  
Sanders and Eric Snoke.  Goodwin  finally passed Fulton on lap 123 to become the 
only driver on the lead lap.  Lap 125 saw only twelve cars remaining  in the 
200 lap race.   
On  lap 150, Goodwin continued to lead over the lapped cars of Fulton, Repp, 
Wayne  Eurich and Snoke.  Top five runner  Snoke dropped out on lap 162.    
Wayne Eurich also dropped out on  lap 163 as he was in the top five as well.  
With twenty laps remaining, Goodwin had a  few close calls with lapped traffic 
but continued to lead.  Fulton remained in second, followed by  Matt Smith and 
Repp.          
At  the end it was the 2005 SSP Xtreme Stock Car champion, Michael Goodwin of 
 Wellsville over Bill Fulton, Matt Smith, Raymond Repp and Brad  Garman.
