Next Wednesday Test & Tune on May 22
Newberrytown, PA – On Sunday night, May 12, the 410 Super Sprint Cars return to SSP with the Late Models in a Mother’s Day Sprint Car Special. It will also be the 59th Anniversary of the speedway’s opening day in May of 1954. The original opening day was Sunday, May 16 but the event was postponed due to rain with the opener eventually being run on Sunday, May 23 with Buzzy Wilson taking the win in Stock Cars. Since 1954, there have been more than 1,000 races held at the Newberrytown Oval in York County.
The Super Sprint Car feature will pay $3,500-to-win for the 25-lap feature event. Non-qualifiers for the A-Main feature will receive a complimentary non-transferrable entry fee ($50.00 value) for the Final Showdown to be held at SSP in November. For the Super Sprint Cars, mufflers WILL NOT be required and Hoosier Brand Spec Tires will be required on all four corners (same as the 2013 rules at Williams Grove, Lincoln and Port Royal Speedways). All other rules will follow the generally accepted rules for Sprint Cars at local weekly Central PA Sprint Car tracks (1400 pounds weight rule). Raceivers will be mandatory for all Sprint Cars.
The Late Models will also be on the card. Drivers already picking up feature wins this season are Gene Knaub, Chase Billet, Randy Christine Jr. and Randy Stoudt. This will be a tune-up race for the Steel Block Bandits Invasion on Saturday night, May 18.
