Hodnett Takes Checkers over Haudenschild at at SSP on Sunday Night

Newberrytown, PA (September 20, 2015) – Greg Hodnett of Thomasville took his second consecutive 410 Sprint Car feature race in the Sunday Night Sprint Car Special at the Susquehanna Speedway Park.  Orwigsburg’s Tyler Reeser collected the IMCA PA Sprint20-lap feature race at the end of the night.

By virtue of a number one pill inversion, the two heat race winners Jac Haudenschild and Lance Dewease brought the field to the green.  Haudenschild grabbed the early lead over Hodnett with Lance Dewease close behind in third.  Almost midway through the non-stop feature, Hodenett drove by Haudenschild on the bottom to take the lead.  Haudenschild tried to regain the lead but was unable to make the winning pass as Hodnett went on to take the victory in 7 minutes and 1.09 seconds.  Haudenschild settled for second followed by Austin Hogue in third.  Chase Dietz finished fourth with Glenndon Forsythe finishing fifth. 

In the 20-lap IMCA PA Sprint Car feature, Tyler Reeser started on the outside of the front row and took the lead and began to set a blistering pace with Darren Miller Jay Krout trying to chase him down.  The only thing that slowed down was two caution flags as he went on to take the win over Miller.  Jaremi Hanson finished third as Tyler Lebo crossed the line in fourth.  Krout rounded out the top five at the end.  Miller and Zach Newlin were the heat race winners.

The Susquehanna Showdown for the Late Models and Sportsman Modifieds scheduled for Saturday, September 26 has been cancelled and will not be rescheduled.
