Williams, Kressley and Wills, Jr. Collect Poker Series Titles
Ryan Watt picked up his fourth win of the season with his win in the Gone but Not Forgotten Big Block Modified Feature event to close out the 2015 season at the Bridgeport Speedway. Bobby Lileck picked up his first win of the season in the Stewart Stainless Crate Sportsman feature event while Jeramy Doerr earned his eighth win of the season in the John Blewett III Poker Series finale for the Outlaw Stocks.
The Wildcard Weekend wrapped up the competition in the 2015 Poker Series with Neal Williams clinching the Poker Series Championship title for the Big Block Modifieds with three Queens for his three third place finishes. Brett Kressley's four Aces (wins) clinched the title for Kressley even before he dropped out of the Crate/Sportsman feature with mechanical issues. Tom Wills, Jr. had three of a kind to win the Poker Series Championship for the Outlaw Stocks.
Doug Manmiller paced the field to the start of the forty lap Big Block Modified main event and led for the first eight circuits before Watt raced to the front on lap nine. Manmiller stayed with Watt for several laps before Neal Williams moved to the outside to takeover the runner-up spot as Manmiller exited with mechanical problems. Williams kept the pressure on Watt. Tyler Dippel made it a three way race for the lead as he made his way by Williams to take over second on lap twenty-one.
Dippel and Williams kept the pressure on as Dippel pulled even with Watt on several occasions but each time, Watt was able to pull ahead of the young challenger.
Watt raced to the checkered flag followed by Dippel with his best Bridgeport finish to date after making just three starts on the 5/8 mile track. Williams finished third. Billy Pauch won the battle for fourth with Jimmy Horton finishing fifth.
Bobby Lilick led from the green to the checkered to capture his first Stewart Stainless Crate Sportsman feature event of the season. Brett Kressley, who won five times at Bridgeport this season, made his way into second behind Lilick before he was sidelined from the event. Jim Britt trailed Lilick at the finish line with Kevin Sockriter, Steve Searock and Frank Dorry rounding out the top five.
TJ Henry was well on his way to picking up his second win of the weekend in the John Blewett III Poker Series event for the Outlaw Stocks when he developed problems with his No. 57 with just two laps to go. Jeramy Doerr went on to pick up his eighth win of the season. Ken Watson and Ed Bischoff crossed the finish line in second and third but were disqualified when they failed post-race tech. Jack Beaumont finished second followed by Jeff Dirkes, Mike Creamer and Jillian Long who was competing in only her second race on the Bridgeport 5/8 mile track.

PAUCH CHARGES TO BRIDGEPORT SMALL BLOCK MODIFIED WIN
Billy Pauch charged to the feature win in the 358 Small Block Modified feature event in the Bridgeport Speedway's Wild Card Weekend. It was Pauch's sixteenth career win in Bridgeport Speedway small block modified competition - a track where he sits third on the Big Block Modified All Time Feature Winners List with fifty-eight victories. "I thought Wade (Hendrickson) had it won," Pauch commented. "I don't know what happened to him. With a couple of laps to go , I thought the hell with it - we came here to win!"
TJ Henry earned his second win of the season in the John Blewett III PennCo Poker Series Outlaw Stock Feature event while 2015 Champion, Mike Haggenbottom put an exclamation point on his championship season with the win in the twenty lap Tri State Race Savers Sprint Car feature.
At the wave of the green flag, it was polesitter, Wade Hendrickson who jumped into the lead in the thirty lap small block modified feature event. Hendrickson dominated the first nineteen laps of the race before Craig VonDohren used lapped traffic to make the pass for the lead on lap twenty. With VonDohren out in front, Hendrickson ran second for four laps before mechanical woes sidelined his C&S Equipment No. 6.
VonDohren led Pauch, Rick Laubach, Ryan Krachun and Ryan Watt with five laps to go. Pauch made a run on the leader on a lap twenty-six restart but VonDohren prevailed. The field was realigned for a single file restart with just two laps to go when Watt drew the caution in turn four. On the restart, Pauch made another run to the inside, pulling even with VonDohren. As the leaders raced through turns one and two, Pauch used a slide job to propel his K&A Excavating No. 1 into the lead and then pulled away as they raced out of turn two. The caution waved again with just one lap to go but Pauch prevailed to take the $3,000 payday followed by VonDohren, Laubach, Krachun and Richie Pratt, Jr.
2014 Outlaw Champion, Ron Frees looked to be on his way to his second win in the John Blewett II Poker Series for Outlaw Stock feature event when his plans went up in smoke on lap thirteen. TJ Henry took over the lead and went on to claim the victory over second place finisher, Rick Broschard. 2015 Champion, Tom Wills, Sr. finished third with Mike Creamer and Tom Wills, Jr. completing the top five at the finish line.
Mike Haggenbottom closed the 2015 Tri State Race Saver Sprint Car season with a flag to flag win in the 20 lap TSRS feature event. Adam Carberry and rookie, Eddie Strada, kept the pressure on the leader all the way to the checkered flag to finish second and third. Rick Stief and Karl Freyer rounded out the top five at the checkered flag.
