NEWBERRYTOWN, Penn. (August 7) - Dover's Justin Ehrhart provided an encore of his patented backflip off the roof of his car in victory lane after winning the 20-lap Late Model feature event at the Susquehanna Speedway Park on Saturday night. Ehrhart picked up his second consecutive win. The Street Stock main event found Middletown's Scott Thunberg claiming his first win of the season. Mike Zeigler Jr. of Spring Grove won the always exciting Xtreme Stock Car 20-lapper. Chistopher Holland picked up the Road Warrior feature win and Deanna Frye wired the field to win the special Speedway Auto Sale Women on Wheel Mini Van feature.
Justin Ehrhart grabbed the early lead in the 20-lap Late Model feature event over polesitter, Tommy Slanker. By the third circuit, Charles Potts moved into the runner-up spot behind Ehrhart. On lap 7, Slanker slowed coming out of the fourth turn and onto the frontstretch. Before Slanker could get out of harm's way, a wild seven car melee ensued when the back half of the field scrambled behind him. On the restart, SSP Late Model point leader, Larry Baer began making his charge to the front, moving into third on lap 8 and then into the runner-up spot on lap 11. However, Potts battled back to reclaim the second spot two laps later. Lap 17 provided plenty of drama as Baer blasted past Potts and set up Ehrhart for the pass for the lead. However, Baer jumped the cushion and gave Ehrhart enough distance to keep the lead. One more caution on lap 19 set up a one lap shoot-out, but Ehrhart held strong to claim the victory over Baer and Potts. Jake Jones and Randy Christine Jr. rounded out the top five. Ehrhart, Potts and Randy Kissinger recorded the heat race victories.
