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. In victory lane, both drivers had some choice words about each other, setting up another showdown between these two successful veterans of Late Model racing this Saturday night. In Street Stock racing action, Littlestown’s Randy Zechman won his third feature event of the season in the 20-lapper. Lancaster’s Donnie Broderick picked up his third consecutive win in the Xtreme Stock Car class with a last lap pass for the victory. Brian Lefebvre of Etters won the 15-lap Road Warrior feature for the second consecutive week. Pete Neal won the 15-lap Classic Cars feature event.
