Shuttlesworth Declared Winner in SSP Topless Late Model Race on Thursday Night

Newberrytown, PA (July 21, 2005) -  Lewisberry’s Jim Shuttlesworth was 
declared the winner of the Topless Late Model  race on Thursday night at the 
Susquehanna Speedway Park after Randy Stoudt  failed to pass post race technical 
inspection.  Gene Knaub of Dover picked up the Xtreme Stock Car victory  with Matt 
Newcomer winning the first XSC Rookie Rumble.  Dover’s Alan Witmer won the 
Great American  School Bus race over Heidi Thomas and Timothy Watson of Camp 
Hill picked up the  Mini Van Construction race. 
In the 25-lap Topless Late Model  feature race, Bud Barton jumped out to an 
early lead over pole sitter Jim  Shuttlesworth. Barton led the first 7 laps 
until he skated high coming out of  two which shuffled him all the way back to 
sixth when the train stopped.  Taking the lead on lap eight was Randy  Stoudt.  
Stoudt led for the final 18  circuits but not without intense pressure from 
Shuttleworth and Jerry Bard.  At the finish Stoudt crossed first, but  lost the 
race after failing to pass post race technical inspection.  Therefore, Jim 
Shuttleworth was declared  the winner over Scott McCann who came from 19th to 
finish  second.  Jerry Bard, Bud Witmer and  Carl Billet rounded out the top 
five.  Heats for the 33 Late Models went to Larry Baer, Dave Sokoloski and Carl  
Graves.  Scott McCann won the  consolation race.  The Topless Late  Models 
return to SSP on Thursday night, August 11.
