STAMBAUGH  TOPS SSP SPRINT CARS FOR FIRST CARRER WIN 

NEWBERRYTOWN, PA (July 15, 2004) – Eric Stambaugh  raced to his first career 
410 Sprint Car win in a rain shortened program at  Susquehanna Speedway Park 
on Thursday evening.  The feature events for the PA Four  Cylinder Stocks and 
the Xtreme Enduro Stocks were postponed.  The Xtreme Enduro Stock Car feature 
will  be run as part of the July 22 program with double features, while the PA 
Four  Cylinder event will be rescheduled sometime in the future at a date to 
be  announced with double features as well.  Since one feature was officially 
completed, rain checks will not be  honored at the next event.  A  victory lane 
celebration will take place on July 29 for Stambaugh “SSP’s World’s  Fastest 
Driver for 10 laps” as he also set the 10 lap track record in 2 minutes,  
30.88 seconds. 
The 25 lap Sprint Car feature event was a barnburner  right up until rain 
slowed the pace with 19 laps completed.  Jeff Taylor led the first lap before  
yielding the top spot to “SSP World’s Fastest Driver for 1 lap” Brian  Leppo.  
Leppo set the pace for the  next eleven laps, although most of those laps he 
was under pressure from  Stambaugh.  After several wheel to  wheel battles, 
Stambaugh finally slipped by Leppo on the 13th  lap.  But the race wasn’t over 
yet,  point leader Fred Rahmer and Greg Hodnett were on the move, passing Leppo, 
and  closing on Stambaugh when the sky opened up on the 19th lap.  The rain 
did eventually stop, but after  making an attempt at running in the track rains 
began again, and the feature was  called complete. 
Stambaugh received $2,500 for his first career 410  Sprint Car win.  Rahmer 
finished  second followed by Hodnett, Leppo and Lance Dewease in the top five.  
Rounding out the top ten were Jim  Siegel, Josh Wells, Dave Cordier Jr., 
Brent Kluge and Steve Wilbur.  Heats went to Stambaugh and  Leppo. 
PA Four Cylinder heats went to Chris McLanigan and  Kyle Levengood.  Xtreme 
Enduro Stock  Car heats went to Adrian Barnhardt and Pat Hires.  Alan Miller 
won the Pepsi Challenge Dash  Race.  Brian Wentzel drove an Eagle  Talon to the 
overall win in the One-On-One Street Car Drags.                                
         

The next race will be Thursday Night, July 22 as SSP  hosts A.R.C.H. (Auto 
Racing Club of Hagerstown) Fan Night.  All A.R.C.H. members will receive a  
$1.00 discount on general admission tickets for the remainder of the 2004 racing
