the XSC Rookie Rumble, JR  Rodriguez won the Great American School Bus Race, 
Kendra Knaub won the Women on  Wheels feature, and Butch Richcreek Jr. topped

at the start to lead the first  three laps.   Rahmer led the remainder of the

maintain his season point lead, with Bobby  Weaver and Jason Johnson in the top 
five.  Rounding out the top ten were Eric Stambaugh, Pat Cooper, Meleason, 
Chad  Jumper and Scott Lutz.  Heats went  to Rahmer and Meleason. 
Rahmer’s  win was only his third of the season at SSP, and his 23rd  overall. 
 The win was also Rahmer’s  28th career SSP win, moving him into a fourth 
place tie with Steve  Smith on the all-time win list at the speedway. 
Knaub  raced forward from midpack to take the lead from Trevor Stark on the 
sixth of 25  laps in the XSC feature event.  Knaub went on to best the car he 
owns, with Rick Reinoehl the  driver.  Knaubs win was his fifth of  the season. 
 Following Knaub and  Reinoehl were Jason Failor, Tom Slanker and Charlie  
Pensinger.

Johns  dropped from competition with mechanical problems.  He went on to score 
his first win over  Carl Sipe, Matt Deardorff, Rob Stitley,  and John Hiden 
Jr. 
JR  Rodriguez led early in the 15-lap Great American School Bus Race, but 
lost the  lead to Rob Harkins on the fifth lap.  Rodriguez came back to pass 
Harkins on the final lap for the win.  Harold Ebaugh, Heidi Thomas and Shawn  
Arndt completed the top five. 
Kendra  Knaub, wife of the Xtreme Stock feature event winner Gene Knaub, 
passed Penny  Repp on the ninth of 12 laps to win the Women on wheels feature 
event.  The win was Knaubs second of the  season.  Repp finished second  followed 
by Nancy Horan Frye, Karen Prowell, and Deanna  Frye. 
Richcreek  survived the elimination Red Rover matches, and then led all four 
laps of the  final oval portion of the event to win the Mini Van event.
