Newberrytown, PA (April 4, 2015) – The Susquehanna Speedway Park opened up on Saturday night for the 61^st season with four exciting divisions on a cool and windy night. Dover’s Gene Knaub took the victory in the Bernheisel Race Components Late Model 25 lapper on opening night. Loysville’s Jim Plam Jr. took the win by leading the final ten laps of the Street Stock 20 lapper. Frankie Herr of Carlisle took the win in the 25-lap Super Sportsman tour race. Chad Earnst from East Berlin won the Legends Cars 20-lap feature event.

Justin Ehrhart started on the pole position with Gene Knaub starting beside him at the green of the 25-lap BRC Late Model feature event. Knaub grabbed the early lead and set the pace with Ehrhart in tow. A few caution flag periods bunched up the field early on in the race. At the finish, Knaub took the victory over Ehrhart. A battle for the third place podium finish found Chase Billet holding off Billy Wampler at the end. J.R. Rodriguez rounded out the top five. Justin Ehrhart and Gene Knaub were the heat race winners.

From the front row, Matt Wampler grabbed the early lead of the 20-lap Street Stock feature over Eric McClane. Richard Bossinger took the top spot from Wampler on lap 4. Scott Thunberg scooted by Wampler to take the runner-up spot on the eighth circuit. A flat tire on the Bossinger car on a lap 8 restart put him from the lead to the rear, putting Scott Thunberg into the lead. Thunberg led lap 9 with Jim Palm Jr. taking the top spot on lap 10 and he never looked back. Palm went on to take the victory with Jimmy Coombs following across the line in second, besting Jasen Geesaman by about a foot. Chris Derr finished in fourth with Thunberg rounding out the top five. Coombs and Bossinger were heat race victors.

Frankie Herr took the early lead of the 25-lap Super Sportsman feature from the pole position. Kevin Nouse quickly grabbed the runner-up spot on lap 2 after starting in the 10^th position at the start. Gregg Foster raced close behind in third. Cautions on lap 7 & 8 allowed Nouse to restart on the rear bumper of Herr, however he could not make the winning pass. The remainder of the race went caution free with Herr taking the checkers over Nouse. Foster settled for third with Rich Eichelberger finishing in fourth after starting 14^th at the beginning of the race. Mike Enders rounded out the top five. Heat race wins went to Chad Criswell, Herr and Foster.

In the 20-lap Legends Car feature, Chad Earnst held off a late race challenge from Bob Stough to take the victory. Early race leader Jacob Feltch finished in third with Mason Chaney and Scott Houdeshell finished fourth and fifth places respectively. Rick Hartwig and Bill Diehl were heat race winners.
