HORTON ADDS WINGATE CLASSIC WIN TO HIS CAREER TOTAL AT BRIDGEPORT SPEEDWAY
By Deb Smith

Bridgeport, NJ (May 27, 2013) - It seems only appropriate that the
driver with the most feature wins in the history of the Bridgeport
Speedway would be the winner of the the Wingate Classic, a race paying
tribute to George Wingate. Jimmy Horton ran a smart race and had a
little luck on his side has he won the forty lap, $4,000 to win second
hand of the 2013 Poker Series event. Kyle Borrer claimed his first
victory in several seasons at Bridgeport in the Crate/Sportsman
Division's Poker Series while Bill Liedtka returned to Victory Lane
for his second win of the season in Black Flagged Racing’s Outlaw
Stock Car Shoot Out Series.

The Wingate Classic, with sponsorship from Colonial Pipeline, was a
tremendous success as more than 130 cars filled the Bridgeport pit
area and a large crowd of fans were on hand to see the twelve heat
races, six consolations and three feature events. Colonial Pipeline
is the originator of the call before you dig program. They originated
the 811 number to be called before any excavating work is begun, to
insure a safe working environment for anyone involved.

It was Bridgeport win number 119 for Horton who charged back through
the field after a pit stop to change a right rear tire just past half
way. Brett Hearn dominated the race from the drop of the green flag.
Hearn raced comfortably at the front of the field over Ryan Godown.
Godown was the first of the top three to experience tire issues,
moving Frank Cozze and the Hansell Big Block up to second. Cozze had
pressured Godown on several occasions and now moved in to challenge
Hearn with about seven laps to go. Cozze went to the lead and then
Hearn headed to the pits with a right rear flat. Cozze was the race
leader for several circuits until he, too, had a tire go down.
Horton, who had worked his way back up to second, became the race
leader on lap thirty six.

It was Horton's first win at Bridgeport his season. Bobby Varin,
winner of the first hand in the Poker Series, finished a strong second
with Jimmy Blewett earning his best Bridgeport finish in third.
Godown overtook Doug Manmiller for fourth in the closing laps.

Varin left Bridgeport with an Ace and a King for his Poker Series hand
after two races.

Kyle Borror would duplicate Varin's hand in the Crate/Sportsman
feature when he picked up the win over his friend and neighbor, Ryan
Anderson. Borror worked most of the night and day to prepare his car
to compete at Bridgeport on Sunday and his efforts paid off with the
big win. Mike Lyons trailed Anderson, while Craig Whitmoyer and Brett
Kressley finished fourth and fifth respectively.

Bill Liedtka returned to Bridgeport to pick up his second win in the
Black Flagged Racing Shoot Out Series for Outlaw Stocks. Brian Ludwig
beat Ron Frees to the line for second while Terry Griffin and Billy
Wroble completed the top five after the top four raced for the second
spot right up to the checkered flag.

On Saturday, June 1, Little League Night steps up to the plate at
Bridgeport Speedway. All Little League uniformed managers and players
receive free grandstand admission. On the track, the Four-Dozen
returns with two 12-lap features taking place for the Crate/Sportsman
and Outlaw Stock Cars. The Big Block Modifieds and D.A.’S Auto Body
and Repair Rookies will be in action as well. Pit gates swing open at
4:30 p.m. with the spectator ticket booth opening at 5:30 p.m. The
first race of the evening gets underway at 7:00 p.m. Adult (16 and
