Haas Wins Two at SSP on Thursday Night

Haas Wins  Both Features on SABKO Enterprises Night 

Newberrytown, PA (May 26, 2005) - Cory  Haas of York picked up his first and 
second 410 Sprint Car career victories in  the SABKO Enterprises Twin 20 
feature events at the Susquehanna Speedway Park on  Thursday evening earning 
himself $3,000.  In other action, Columbia’s Tom Johns won the 25-lap feature for  
the Xtreme Stock Cars and the Kirk Ryan of Lewisberry won the Great American  
School Bus race. 
Cory Haas began the evening by winning  the first heat race for the Sprint 
Cars which placed him on the pole for the  first Twin 20.  Haas jumped out to  
an early lead and held on for the final 20 circuits.  Although he was never 
formally  challenged for the lead, second and third place finishers, Alan Krimes 
and Blane  Heimbach were within striking distance the entire race if Haas made 
the  slightest mistake.  Dave Cordier Jr.  and Rich Eichelberger rounded out 
the top five.   
On the redraw, Haas pulled the #1 pill  to put him on the pole position again 
for the second SABKO Twin 20 featuring the  four previous SSP winners that 
included Eric Stambaugh, Johnny Mackison Jr.,  Bobby Weaver and Bill Brian Jr.  
As  in the first feature, Haas jumped out to the early lead and picked up his 
second  career win at SSP on the same evening.    
Matt Wampler led the first eight laps of  the 25-lap Xtreme Stock Car feature 
until Eric Snoke gained the lead on lap  9.  Eventual race winner Tom Johns  
took over the lead on the next lap until the checkered flag.  David Wilhelm 
finished second over Tom  Slanker, Charlie Pensinger and Steve Clemmons.  Heats 
went to Sipe and Thomas, with  Hughes taking the Pepsi Dash. 
In the thrilling Great American School  Bus race, Kirk Ryan, led every lap 
but not without challenges on every lap for  the lead.  Starting three wide and  
sometimes racing four wide at times, the action was non-stop.  At the finish, 
a blanket large enough  for three buses could have been thrown over the 
finish with Ryan winning, Rob  Harkins finishing second and J.R. Rodriguez in 
third.  Alan Witmer and Heidi Thomas rounded out  the top five.  After rolling his 
bus  on lap six, Paul Fisher returned to finish sixth. 
The next race at SSP will be Sunday  night, May 29 with the first race of the 
season for the Trail Motors Super  Sportsman, Silver Springs Street Stocks 
and the Penn Mar Vintage Club Tour.  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
