SSP Pit Notes
- AAP Super DIRTcar Series Postponed - Both DIRTcar Racing NorthEast and Susquehanna Speedway Park officials reached a mutual agreement today to postpone the Advance Auto Parts Super DIRTcar Series event for Big-Block Modifieds scheduled on June 14 at the Newberrytown, PA oval. Speedway owners Todd and Rhonda Fisher recently reorganized the remainder of the 2007 racing events schedule at Susquehanna and a new date for the Advance Auto Parts SDS show is pending at this time.
"On the heels of Susquehanna's schedule being restructured recently, we've decided to put the event on hold until we can find a better suited date," said DIRTcar Director of Competition & Track Sanctioning Cory Reed. "We're looking forward to working with Todd as he has supported DIRT 100% since day one and wants the Big-Blocks back at his track in the very near future." Further details regarding Advance Auto Parts Super DIRTcar Series event will be released in the coming weeks.
The events on Thursday, June 14 will continue as scheduled with the ARDC Midgets, Legends Cars and the Great American School Bus Race. Gates open at 5:00 p.m. with racing starting at 7:00 p.m.
- Postponed Event from May 27 - The rain-postponed Memorial Day Spectacular from Sunday night, May 27 has been rescheduled for Sunday, August 19. The racing classes include the Central PA 358 Sprint Cars, ARDC Midgets and Legends Cars. The 20-lap 358 Sprint Car feature event will be presented by Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic from Finksburg, Maryland paying $1,200 to the winner. Hoosier Tires will be the only tire permitted on all four corners of the car. Mufflers are not required for the 358 Sprint Cars only. Both pit and grandstand rainchecks may be used from May 27 at any race during the next three weeks (until Saturday, June 16) or for the race on Sunday, August 19. Since no cars were able to qualify before the rains hit the speedway, new entries for the race on August 19 will be permitted.
- Xtreme Stock Car Points Fund Announced - SSP in pleased to announce a season-ending points fund for the Xtreme Stock Car division paying $300.00 to the champion. The top 10 positions will receive points fund monies.

These companies will also sponsor the 50-lap Xtreme Stock Car feature during the Miller's Racing Parts Fall Classic race on October 19 and 20 paying $1,000.00 to the winner.
- New Information for "The Outback" Track at SSP - The Outback Track at SSP is currently under construction for Quarter Midgets, karts and more. The days of operation will be Saturday during the daytime hours. As work continues, the first open practice day will not take place this week on June 2. The first open practice date has been pushed back to at least Saturday, June 16. Competitive racing is set to begin just after the mid-summer vacation break on July 21 and/or July 22.
