Randy Christine Jr. Wins His Career First Late Model Feature at SSP on Saturday Night; Rain Forces Postponement of Three Feature Events
Newberrytown, PA (June 28, 2008) – For the fourth time this season, rains have forced the postponement of feature events after qualifying was completed. This is an unusual situation that was not encountered even once in the first four seasons that the Fishers have owned the speedway. The rain storm has forced the feature events of the following divisions to be completed on the following dates: Late Models (Saturday, August 9); Street Stocks (Saturday, August 23) and Xtreme Stock Cars (Saturday, August 16). “This season has been very trying on both the fans and race teams and we wish things would be different,” said Todd Fisher, “but we will do our best to get through all of the make-up features with the least amount of problems for the teams. This is why we have rescheduled them in August, so that teams can properly prepare for running two races in one night.”
Two makeup feature events from May 17 were completed with Manchester ’s Randy Christine Jr. winning his first career Late Model feature event over John Moser, Jr. and Bud Witmer. In the other make-up feature event, Chris Heller from Carlisle won his first Xtreme Stock Car race of the season. Matt Wampler and Sam Rial finished second and third respectively. Daryl Sipe won the 10-lap Mini Van feature presented by Susquehanna Recyclers.
Racing returns to SSP for a special midweek show on Thursday, July 3 with the Eichelberger’s U-Pull It Super Show III featuring the ARDC Midgets, 600cc Micro Sprints, Legends Cars and Women on Wheels Stock Cars.

Racing action begins at 7:00 p.m. Pit gates will open at 4:30 p.m. and the grandstand gates will open at 5:00 p.m.
