BUFFALINO AND OSMUN ARE VICTORIOUS AT NEW EGYPT SPEEDWAY'S LEGENDS OF THE FALL

New Egypt, NJ (September 10, 2017) - At New Egypt Speedway's Legends of the
Fall presented by Gres Paving, Dominick Buffalino took home the $7500
winner's share after topping the field in the 75-lap Modified feature. Billy
Osmun, III was victorious in the Eastern Autoparts Warehouse 30-lap
Sportsman main event.


The 75-lap Legends of the Fall Modified feature got underway with polesitter
Rick Laubach grabbing the top running position. Behind the leader, Tad Cox,
Dominick Buffalino, Ryan Krachun and David VanHorn were next in the running
order. The top five remained intact through the opening seven circuits.
Following a caution and restart, Laubach was still on top as Buffalino
motored past Cox to take over second with eight laps recorded. One tour
later, Cox slipped back to fifth as Krachun moved into third and Billy
Pauch, Jr. scrambled into fourth. Starting on the tenth revolution, Laubach
was feeling pressure from Buffalino for the lead. Following back-to-back
yellow flags for slowing cars on the twelfth lap, Buffalino rushed past
Laubach to gain first place with Krachun and Pauch, Jr. maintaining their
positions. On the sixteenth lap, Pauch, Jr. worked his way around Krachun to
gain third place. On lap twenty-three, Buffalino began to enter traffic by
lapping some of his rivals. With the top runners dicing through slower
competitors, Pauch, Jr. was able to pluck second place away from Laubach on
the twenty-sixth circuit just before the yellow lights illuminated for a
slowing Cox. When action resumed, Buffalino held off Pauch to remain in
control with Laubach in third and fourteenth place starting Ryan Godown
taking over fourth. Godown would eventually advance into third on lap
twenty-eight before dropping out of the race two circuits later with a
mechanical issue. By the halfway point, Buffalino was still leading as he
survived several challenges during restarts from Pauch, Jr. The pressure
from Pauch, Jr. was beginning to heat up when a fuel stop took place on lap
thirty-nine following the slowing of Rocco Infante on the track. Following
the brief break in action, the green flag waved and Pauch, Jr. scooted past
Buffalino to take the lead with VanHorn in third. After two more appearances
of the yellow flag, Pauch, Jr. was still heading the field on lap forty-four
with VanHorn still in third and Brandon Grosso in fourth. By lap fifty, the
top four were beginning pull away from the pack. On lap fifty-five following
a caution, a duel for the lead between the top two occurred and Buffalino
outran Pauch, Jr. to ascend to the top of the field with Grosso zipping past
VanHorn for third. Following the final caution of the contest on lap
sixty-one, Buffalino repelled a challenge by Pauch, Jr. to remain in front
with Grosso, Rich Rutski and VanHorn in pursuit. With ten to go, the top two
were pedaling away from the rest of the field. As the officials flashed the
signal that only two laps remained in the race, Buffalino's advantage over
Pauch, Jr. was slightly evaporating as lap traffic was just ahead of him.
Over the final tours, Buffalino was able to maintain his lead and he scored
his second victory of the year at New Egypt Speedway. Pauch, Jr., the newly
crowned 2017 358 Modified champion, came home in second. A late surge by
VanHorn earned him third place. Grosso completed the event in fourth and
Rutski finished in fifth. John Pakenham, Billy Pauch, Jr. and Wade
Hendrickson recorded wins in the heat races for the Modifieds.

In the 30-lap Eastern Autoparts Warehouse Sportsman feature, Billy Osmun,
III became the leader on the sixth circuit and he paced the field to capture
the victory. The win was the third of the year for the 2017 Sportsman
champion and his second consecutive checkered flag. Cale Ross came from
eleventh place to finish in second. Bob Lineman, Jr. was third. Tommy
Tanner, the 2017 Crate Modified champion, led the first four laps and
finished in fourth. Fifth place was claimed by Dan Fleming. Cale Ross, Tommy
Tanner and Pat Wall won the Sportsman qualifying events.
