Hodnett Wins Second of the Year in Sprint Car Action at SSP

NEWBERRYTOWN, PA (May 12, 2004) – Greg Hodnett of  Memphis, TN becomes the 
first repeat winner in Sprint Car action at the  Susquehanna Speedway Park on 
Thursday evening.  In other action, Larry Hughes Jr. won  the Xtreme Stock Car 
feature and Michelle Miller defeated Tracy Miller and Mike  Miller in the 5-lap 
ARDC Midget Match race. 
Hodnett started 8th in the 25-lap Sprint  Car feature event, and immediately 
began working his way toward the front.  Cory Haas took the early lead from 
the  outside front row, but spun in the first turn of the second lap turning the 
lead  over to Blane Heimbach.  Heimbach  led for just two circuits until, 
Hodnett took command.  While Hodnett led the remainder of the  distance, he could 
never shake Heimbach, who likewise had his hands full with  Jeff Shepard.  
They finished in that  order, with Lance Dewease just edging Fred Rahmer for 
fourth spot.  Rounding out the top ten were Doug Esh,  Jason Johnson, who started 
last, Johnny Mackison Jr., Alan Krimes and Cilff  Brian.  Heats went to Esh, 
Hodnett,  and Shepard, with Brian Leppo taking the consolation win. 
Hughes came from mid-pack to take the 25-lap Xtreme  Stock feature, taking 
the lead from Smoke Christine on the 12th  lap.  David Wilhelm scored yet  
another top five finish from the back of the back.  This time, Wilhelm came back 
from a  first lap accident for second.  Tom  slanker also came from the back for 
third, with Charlie Pensinger and Brian  Sanders in the top five.  Heats went 
 to Pensinger and Jason Failor, while Wilhelm won the Dash.
