From SSP
Susquehanna, PA — (November 13, 2014) — On Saturday afternoon, November 15, the Susquehanna Speedway Park will host The Final Showdown for the Super (410) Sprint Cars in the Central PA area as well as the entire United States for 2014. Also included in this special program will be the popular 358 Sprint Cars. The raindate will be Sunday, November 16, but is not expected to be used with clear weather forecasted for Saturday.
The star-studded list of 410 Sprint Car drivers pre-entered for the event include Daryn Pittman, the 2013 World of Outlaws Champion in the Kasey Kahne owned #9; Greg Hodnett, multi-time Track Champion including the most recently 2014 Williams Grove Speedway Track Championship; as well as other local racing Track Champions that include Don Kreitz Jr., Lance Dewease and Blaine Heimbach. Other SSP 410 Sprint Car feature winners entered include Danny Dietrich, Justin Barger and Aaron Ott. One notable entry of local interest is 4-time ASCOC Champion Tim Shaffer in the locally owned Apple Chevrolet #12. Last year, Derek Sell picked up the 30-lap $10,010-to-win victory in the Showdown.
The Super (410) Sprint Car feature event will be 30-laps and pay the winner $10,060 if the driver is pre-entered. This is the highest paying race ever held at SSP in its 60 year history. Anyone not pre-entering the event will receive $5,000-to-win. The race will also pay $300 to start the feature. Tow money ($50.00) for non-qualifying drivers will only be paid to those who pre-entered before November 11. For the Super Sprint Cars, mufflers WILL NOT be required. All other rules of the Central PA Super (410) Sprint Cars will prevail for this event including the current Central PA Hoosier tire rule. Raceivers will be mandatory.
The 358 Sprint Car feature event will be 20-laps and pay the winner $2,000 if they are pre-entered. Anyone not pre-entered for the event will receive $1,500-to-win. The race will also now pay and increased amount of $200 to start the feature. Tow money ($50.00) for non-qualifying drivers will only be paid to those who pre-entered before November 11. The tire rule will be the same used at the regular PA 358 Sprint Car tracks. All other rules of the Central PA 358 Sprint Cars will prevail for this event. Mufflers are not required for the 358 Sprint Cars. Raceivers will be mandatory.
The 410 Super Sprint Cars will qualify in time trials with the top six automatically qualifying for the 30-lap feature. The top six will be inverted for the feature and will not attempt to qualify through the heat races. The remaining cars will qualify for the 30-lapper through heat races and last chance races.
For the 358 Sprint Cars, the starting positions for the Qualifying Heat races will be aligned through a blind draw at the pit gate on the day of the event. The feature lineup will be determined by heat race number one winner drawing for an inversion (1,3,6,9) or (1,2,4,6,8) depending on the number of heat races.
As an extra bonus, all pre-entrants will be able to draw a second time for a starting position if he or she does not like their first draw for position. However, the entrant must take the second drawn spot regardless of whether or not it is a better starting position.
