John Moser Jr. Continues the Streak of 13 Different Late Model
Winners
in 13 Races at SSP on Saturday Night

East Berlin’s John Moser Jr. kept the streak alive on Saturday night
at Susquehanna Speedway Park. Moser became the 13th
different winner in as many Late Model feature races held at the
northern York County oval this year. “It’s pretty incredible if you
think about it – 13 different winners,” Moser said. Moser led the
entire 20-lap chase, but it was far from easy. Moser had to contend
with early challenges from Gary Potts and Alex Updegraff, and then
several caution periods down the final stages of the race. “I
really felt as if I had a great working car,” Moser said. “I knew
that as long as I kept my line, then it was going to be tough for
someone to pass me.” Potts settled for the second spot, while a
hard-charging Jake Jones was third, Justin Ehrhart was fourth and
Chase was fifth. Sixth through 10th went to Carl Graves,
Smoke Christine, Kyle Saylor, Travis McClelland and Randy Christine
Jr. Heat races went to Charles Potts and Travis McClelland.
