PRATT TAKES SECOND WIN OF THE YEAR AT BRIDGEPORT SPEEDWAY

Bridgeport, NJ (June 2, 2013) - On Four Dozen and Little League Night
at Bridgeport Speedway, Richie Pratt, Jr. won his second Big Block
Modified feature of the year. The Crate/Sportsman features were taken
by Matt Budd and Marc Herman with Ian Humphreys winning the D.A.’S
Auto Body and Repair Rookie race. Terry Griffin and Jeremy Doerr were
victors in the Outlaw Stock Car main events.

After the original start was disrupted by a caution period, the 30-lap
Big Block Modified feature went green the rest of the way with Dave
Witte initially pacing the pack. Richie Pratt, Jr., who started in
sixth, moved into second place on lap 2 and was followed by Mike
Franz. By lap 5, Witte had a half-straightway advantage over Pratt,
Jr., Wade Hendrickson, and Matt Harrell. Seventeenth place starting
Rick Laubach moved into the fifth spot with six tours recorded. On lap
11, Witte’s comfortable lead was evaporating due to some lap traffic
and Laubach was able to slip by Harrell for fourth place. On the
seventeenth circuit, the top four of Witte, Pratt, Jr., Hendrickson
and Laubach were in tight quarters. Three revolutions later, Pratt,
Jr. used the outside lane and swept by Witte for the lead. Over the
next few circuits, Hendrickson and Laubach battled for third place
with Laubach winning the positional tussle on lap 24. With five tours
to go, Pratt, Jr. was knifing through traffic as Laubach passed Witte
for the runner-up position. As the final laps clicked off and Pratt,
Jr. stretched out his lead, Hendrickson and Don Cogdill, III moved
into third and fourth place respectively. When the checkered flag
waved, Pratt, Jr. was the first to cross the finish line for his
second victory of the season. Laubach completed the event in second
with Hendrickson finishing in third. Cogdill, III drove a strong race
to take fourth. Jimmy Horton, who was involved in the original start
mishap, came from the back of the pack and passed Witte on the final
circuit to finish in fifth. Sean Gunther, Bob Sarkisian, and Cogdill,
III were the Big Block Modified heat winners. Eric Kormann took the
consolation event.

The Crate/Sportsman main events were taken by Matt Budd and Marc
Herman. In the first 12-lap Crate/Sportsman feature, Budd passed Steve
Searock on the eleventh circuit to win his second race of the season.
Searock, who had led the opening ten laps, held on for second place.
Bob Lilick, Herman, and Mike Cogdill rounded out the top five. In the
second 12-lap feature, Herman took the lead from Cogdill on the
eleventh tour following a restart to register his fourth victory of
the year. The runner-up spot was taken by Cogdill. Bob Bracall, Budd,
and Brad Roberts completed the top five. The Crate/Sportsman
qualifying events were won by Herman and Searock.

For the fifth time this year, Ian Humphreys took the checkered flag in
the D.A.’S Auto Body and Repair Rookie Series feature. Humphreys took
the lead from Jesse Bonaduce with one circuit to go in the 8-lap race.
Bonaduce, Tyler Hulmes, and Kris Lilick completed the race in order
behind the winner.

Terry Griffin and Jeremy Doerr were victors in the 12-lap features for
the Outlaw Stock Cars. In the first 12-lap contest, Griffin grabbed
the top spot from Ron Frees with three circuits remaining and held off
Frees on a last lap restart for the win. Frees completed the race in
second and was followed by Tom Wills, Jr., Doerr, and Ed Tinsman. In
the second 12-lap feature, Doerr comfortably crossed the finish line
ahead of Frees after securing the top spot on the fifth circuit.
Tinsman, Everett Taylor, and Griffin rounded out the top five. Ed
Tinsman and Terry Griffin were victors in the Outlaw Stock Car heat
races.
