USAC Eastern Storm Visits SSP on Sunday, June 9

Newberrytown, PA (January 11, 2013) – After more than 20 years, full-size wingless Sprint Cars will compete at the Newberrytown oval on Sunday, June 9 as the final race of the USAC Eastern Storm Tour. The ARDC Midgets will also be on the racing card. This highly anticipated event will spark the interest of all race fans both young and old. The pit gates will open at 3:30 p.m. for the season opener. Grandstand gates will open at 4:00 p.m. Warm-ups begin at 5:30 p.m. with qualifying at 6:00 p.m. followed by consolation races and feature events. This will be the first-ever USAC-sanctioned event at the SSP.

“We are very excited about the return of the wingless Sprint Cars to SSP,” said Todd Fisher, owner of SSP. “The last time I saw a race like this at SSP was more than twenty years ago when I saw the CRA tour with Leland McSpadden of California took the checkers.”

SSP will begin its pre-season with three open practice sessions for any type of racecar on Wednesday, March 27; Saturday, March 30 and Wednesday, April 3. The gates will open at 5:00 p.m. with practice sessions rotating for each class from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. During the season, SSP will also host fifteen more Wednesday Night Test & Tune Sessions through Wednesday, October 23. All Wednesday night practices will run from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. as well.

The Susquehanna Speedway Park is located off I-83 to exit 32, then 1.4 miles NW on SR382 to York Road, then 1.3 miles south. For more information, contact the speedway offices at (717) 292-1696 or visit online at sspracing.net. On raceday, use the track phone at (717) 938-9170 for up-to-date information.
