Knopp and Slaseman Claim Victories on Saturday Night at SSP

 

Newberrytown, PA (June 19, 2010) - The racing action was fast and furious at the Susquehanna Speedway Park on Saturday night with many new cars and drivers in the pit area.  Dillsburg's Chris Knopp, ex-sprint car racer, now turned stocker, won his second Late Model feature of the season by leading all 20 laps.  New Cumberland's Jimmy Slaseman was the benefactor on lap 13 when the two top cars were relegated to the rear to win his first Street Stock feature of the year.  Dean Woolford of Summers Point, New Jersey (near Atlantic City) did not cross the finish line first, but was awarded the victory when the top two finishers were disqualified in post-race technical inspection.   Andrew Frye won the 15-lap XSC Elite feature.  Brian Lefebvre blasted to the lead on lap 4 to win the Road Warrior 15-lapper.  Reed Salony battled Tim Henry in the 15-lap Legends Cars feature and claimed the win. 

 

Racing action returns to the SSP Outback Track on Friday night, June 25 at 7:30 p.m. featuring quarter midget, kart and Adult Speedcar racing action.  This will be the first race of the 2010 Summer Shoot-Out Series.

 

Racing action returns to the Big Track at SSP on Saturday night, June 26 with the Late Models, Street Stocks, Xtreme Stock Cars, XSC Elite, Classic Cars and Mini Vans.  The annual Kid's Box Car Racing will also take place.  Rules for the Box Car racing can be found at www.sspracing.net.

Swap Meet Added to the Next Wednesday Night Test & Tune on June 30

 

 

The next Wednesday Night Test & Tune session will be held on Wednesday, June 30 at the Susquehanna Speedway Park.  It is open to any type of racecars capable of competing on the 4/10 mile oval.  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 & driver combination).  Gates will open at 5:00 p.m. with open track time from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. by class.  Each session will be 6 - 8 laps per session.  The grandstands are open free to the public.  Each class will receive 4 to 5 rounds of 6/8 laps each or more if time permits.  The fuel pumps from Miller's Racing Parts will not be open.  Anyone needing fuel should contact Miller's Racing Parts directly at 717-766-0181.  The main concession stand will be open throughout the night. 

 

Also on Wednesday night, there will an open practice session for quarter midgets and karts at the Outback Track from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. under the lights.  The gates will open at 5:30 p.m. with open practice from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.  The cost will be $20.00 per driver with no charge for anyone else entering the grandstand and "cold pit" areas.  All Outback Track participants should enter the pits from the Kise Mill Road entrance behind turn 2 of the "Big Track." 

 

There will also be a bi-weekly racing swap meet added to all Wednesday Night Test & Tunes scheduled for 2010 at SSP.  The event is free to buy, sell or look.  All sellers will set up in the parking lot across the street from the speedway.  The times are from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.  Any racing related items may be sold new or used from go karts/quarter midgets to full-size racecars and everything in between.   This will give teas a chance to raise money by getting rid of equipment not needed and give other teams a chance to search for those items needed to stay on the track in 2010.  Cars, engines, parts and trailers may be available.  

 

For those who will be attending to sell, we can advertise your items if you send an email to sspracing@hotmail.com listing the items.  The listing will be included in a email release on Monday.  The deadline is 12:00 p.m. on Monday to be included.  Your listing can also be included in the Classified Section at www.sspracing.net.
