Steve
Buckwalter Steals Susky Non-Stop ARDC Feature
Newberrytown, Pa. - Susquehanna Speedway Park promoter Todd Fisher and the
entire SSP staff were hustling through Thursday night's program as quickly as
they could with rain in the area. They needed all the help they could get from
the ARDC drivers and the ARDC pilots delivered with 20-lap feature that ran
caution free. Caution free features are great for promoters and fans, but for
front running drivers who are handicapped to the middle of the pack -- like
eventual winner Steve Buckwalter -- they make the job that much more
challenging. Buckwalter started 10th, picked his way through the field and dove
under Randy Monroe, Jr. on the white flag lap to steal the win. READ MORE
