Next Wednesday Test & Tune on May 22
Newberrytown,
PA (May 8, 2013) – 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.
On Sunday, the
start time has been changed from the originally posted earlier in the
season. The
pit gates will open at 4:30 p.m. Grandstand gates will open at 5:00 p.m. Track
Prep laps begin at 6:30 p.m. with qualifying races at 7:00 p.m. followed by
consolation races and feature events.
