NEWBERRYTOWN, Pa. — Bruce Buckwalter owned just about all of Saturday night’s 20-lap ARDC feature at Susquehanna Speedway Park.
All but the last two turns, that is. That’s when his cousin, Steve, made a daring dive inside of Bruce to take the lead in turn three of a last-lap shoot out to snatch the victory away.
The yellow flag waved on the final lap when another car stopped on the track, setting up the thrilling finish.
“I hated to take it from my cousin, but that’s racing,” Steve Buckwalter said. “I don’t know if I could’ve gotten him if that caution hadn’t come out.”
Bruce Buckwalter finished second, ahead of Andy Martin, Shane Penny and Frank Polimeda.
The finish:
Steve Buckwalter, Bruce Buckwalter, Andy Martin, Shane Penny, Frank Polimeda, Donnie Trent, P.J. Gargiulo, Tracy Readinger, Carey Becker, A.J. Ernesto, Nick Wean, Steve Craig, Stephanie Stevens, Drew Heistand, Steve Lenig, Randy Monroe, Jr., Zack Martini, Scott Zipp, Dave Shirk, Bobby Goerner, Brett Conkling, Jimmy Commock, Brett Arndt, Eric Heydenreich, Greg Robinson, Jack Spence.
