Last Saturday night, July 23 at the Susquehanna Speedway Park, tempers flared after the 25-lap Late Model feature as Dover’s Larry Baer returning to victory lane for the second consecutive week over Carl Billet.

Lancaster ’s Donnie Broderick picked up his third consecutive win in the Xtreme Stock Car class with a last lap pass for the victory.
