-FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Susquehanna Speedway Park Takes Shape for 2009
Newberrytown, PA (February 19, 2009) - The 2009 racing season for the Susquehanna Speedway Park is taking shape as track preparer, Bobby Weaver has been hard at work moving clay around the track. He has removed at least two feet in depth from both the front and back stretches of the track and placed that clay back into the turns. This should take care of many of the issues that arose over the 2008 season in terms of the track. Since 2004 when the Fisher's bought the Susquehanna Speedway Park, there have been more than 250 tri-axle loads of clay added to the speedway surface mostly from Kinsley Materials and Codorus Stone of York.
Drivers will have a chance to test out their cars at SSP with two open practice sessions for any type of racecar on Saturday, March 28 and Saturday, April 4. The gates will open at 3:30 p.m. with practice sessions rotating for each class from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The cost will be $12.00 per pit pass (ages 14 & older). There will be no per car charge (as with the Wednesday night Test & Tunes) or fees charged for grandstand admission. Some teams are also scheduling track rentals throughout the month of March for private track time. For more details, contact SSP at (717) 292-1696 or see details in the SSP News & Notes section.
There will be 14 Wednesday Night Test & Tune Practices scheduled throughout 2009 beginning Wednesday, April 8 open to any type of racecars. The cost is $12.00 per person for pit passes and a $20.00 fee for each racecar entering the pit area ($32.00 per car and driver). Gates will open at 5:00 p.m. with open practice from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
The 2009 season opener of Stock Car Saturday Night will be on Saturday, April 11, with the Late Models, Street Stocks, Xtreme Stock Cars and ARDC Midgets. The features will be 25-laps, five laps longer than regular season point races. The Late Model winner will receive $1,000; the Street Stock winner will receive $500 and the Xtreme Stock Car winner will receive $400 for these special races.
The first of four AMA Flat Track Motorcycle races at SSP in 2009 will be on Sunday afternoon, March 29. Qualifying races will begin at 12:00 p.m. with feature racing starting between 2:00 and 3:00 p.m. Other motorcycle races will be held on Sunday, May 31; Sunday, July 19 and Sunday, August 16. General admission for the motorcycle events will be just $5.00.
After a successful year in 2008, SSP is ready to kick off a full season of racing at the SSP Outback Track on Friday night, April 17. There will be two open practice sessions on Saturday afternoon, April 4 and Wednesday night, April 8.
The Susquehanna Speedway Park is located midway between Harrisburg and York off I-83 to exit 32, then 1.4 miles NW on SR382 to York Road, then 1.3 miles south. For more information, contact the speedway offices at (717) 292-1696 or visit online at sspracing.net.
