Leppo Wins at SSP on Thursday Night

Leppo Wins on SSP’s 51st  Anniversary Night 

Newberrytown, Pa (May 19, 2005)…Brian Leppo raced to  victory in the 25-lap 
Sprint Car feature at Susquehanna Speedway Park on  Thursday evening’s 51st 
Anniversary program.  In other action, Mike Goodwin won the  rain shortened 
18-lap feature for the Xtreme Stock Cars.  The Legends Cars feature event was  
postponed by the rain and will be made up when the Legends Cars return on  Sunday, 
June 19 with double features for them that night. 
Leppo started from the pole position in the Sprint  Car feature and took an 
immediate lead.  While Leppo was leading, defending track champion Fred Rahmer 
was working  his way forward from the 12th starting spot.  While Rahmer did 
catch Leppo, he was  never able to make a serious challenge, and Leppo went on 
to score his first SSP  win of the season, and second of his career.   
Rahmer had to settle for second, with Jeff Shepard  coming back from a first 
lap tangle to claim third.  Jason Johnson made a late race pass of  Alan 
Krimes for fourth, with Krimes fifth.  Rounding out the top ten were Lance Dewease, 
Greg Hodnett, Bobby Weaver,  Glenndon Forsythe, and Cory Haas.  Heats went to 
Leppo and Brent Kluge, while Chris Meleason took the  consolation race. 
Goodwin became the first repeat winner this season in  the Xtreme Stock Car 
event taking the lead from Bryon Sipe on the15th  lap of an event that was 
shortened by two laps because of rain.  Sipe finished second with last week’s  
winner Larry Hughes Jr. coming from the 30th starting spot for  third.  Adam 
Smith and Ronnie Thomas  completed the top five.  Heats went  to Sipe and Thomas, 
with Hughes taking the Pepsi Dash. 
The. next race at SSP will be Thursday night, May 19  with the SABKO 
Enterprises Twin 20’s for Sprint Cars along with the Xtreme Stock  Cars and the Great 
American School Buses.  The first 20-lap Sprint Car feature will be  for 
drivers who have never won a sprint car feature event at SSP.  This feature will 
pay $1,000 to the  winner.   The second 20-lap  Sprint Car feature will feature 
drivers who have won a sprint car feature and  the remainder of the twenty car 
field will be filled out with the top finishers  of the first 20 lapper.  
This  feature will pay $2,000.  A driver  has the opportunity to make $3,000 by 
winning both events.  
Gates open in the pit area and grandstands at 5:00  p.m.  Warmups begin at 
7:00  p.m. with racing beginning  promptly at 7:30 p.m.  SSP will  continue its
