RUSS MITTEN RACES TO SECOND SPORTSMAN WIN Randy Stoudt Wins Again while Kevin Sigler and Chris Derr Split Twin 15’s


Russ Mitten  raced from his ninth starting spot to capture his second Credit Connection Auto Sales Super Sportsman feature win of the season Saturday night at Susquehanna Speedway.

The Newville, PA racer turned in an impressive heat run effort to put himself into the handicapped starting spots for the 25-lap feature and then drove from ninth to first in just 13 laps aboard his RPM Chassis, Newville Electrical Services No. 77 . Once out front, Mitten ever looked back in scoring his second win at the track this season and third overall on the Super Sportsman circuit.

Mitten’s win moved him to within 30 points of the track point lead behind Scott Geesey, who finished runner-up in Saturday night’s feature after lining up in the 10th spot.

Teddy Thomas, who led the first 12 laps ended up with a season best third place finish ahead of Paul Miller and 14th place starter Scott Dellinger.

Justin Foster crossed sixth ahead of Kenny Edkin, Rick Barr, Bruce Buckwalter, Jr. and Tony Jackson.

Heats for the 31 car Sportsman field were won by Thomas, Steve Fannasy and Foster with Tom Wyckoff taking the consolation win.

Randy Stoudt visited victory lane for the fourth time this season after winning the caution-filled 25-lap 358 Late Model feature.

With nine cautions slowing the event, including six during the first seven laps, Stoudt worked his way to the front after starting seventh.

Shaun Miller led laps one through six before yielding to Charlie Potts, who led until lap 18 when Stoudt grabbed the lead and drove to the feature win over Potts, Miller, two-time winner Randy Christine, Jr. and 21st starter Steve Billet.

Completing the top 10 were Shaun Jones, Zach Kauffman, Jason Smith, Matt Murphy and Donnie Broderick.

Late Model heats were won by Christine, Taylor Farlling and Dan Zechman. Donnie Broderick was the consolation winner as 26-cars were in competition.

The Street Stock Twin 15’s saw Kevin Sigler and Chris Derr become the seventh and eighth different division winners this season as they split the double features.

Sigler led all 15 laps to score the win in the first feature over eighth starting Mike Potts, Travis Horan, Chad Stine and Jim Palm as Scott Thunberg, 14th starting Ryan Smith, Chris Derr, Greg Diehl and Kyle Saylor completed the top 10.

With the top ten finishers inverted for the second 15 lap feature, Derr took the lead with four laps complete and never looked back in taking the checkered flag ahead of seventh starting Mike Potts, Scott Thunberg, ninth starting Randy Zechman and 14th starting Bob Scott, Jr. as Eddie Richards, Jimmy Combs (up from 18th), Ryan Bloom, Greg Diehl and Dalton Frye.

Heats for the 36 street stocks were won by Jim Palm, Sigler, Diehl and Potts. Richards was the consolation winner.
