New Egypt, NJ (April 22, 2018) - At New Egypt Speedway, Billy Pauch, Jr.
picked up his second checkered flag of the year after beating his rivals in
the Modified feature.
Art Liedl was victorious in the Hammer Sportsman main
event. The Crate Modified feature was won by Jordan Cox. Eric Jennings took
top honors in the Larry's Hot Rods & Harley's Northeast Wingless Sprint Cars
feature. Ryan Heim won the Lyons Construction/Metal Fab Rookie Sportsman
race.
Polesitter Chad Barney grabbed the lead as the 30-lap Modified feature began
with Richie Pratt, Jr. and Jim Bobbitt next in line. After several caution
periods and eight tours recorded, Barney was still in charge with Steve
Davis, Matt Stangle, Billy Pauch, Jr. and Pratt, Jr. completing the top
five. At the halfway point, the front four of Barney, Davis, Stangle and
Pauch, Jr. were racing in close quarters of one another. Shortly afterwards,
Pauch, Jr., who started the event in twenty-fourth, began to use the middle
racing lanes in the corners and motored into second place on the seventeenth
revolution. Two laps later, Pauch, Jr. scooted past Barney to take over
first place. Once on top, Pauch, Jr. began to pull away from the field.
Behind the leader and with nine circuits to go, Stangle edged up into third
while eighteenth place starting David VanHorn continued his march forward as
he moved into fourth. As Pauch, Jr. was beginning to approach lap traffic,
his comfortable lead evaporated due to a caution period for Tim Apgar with
four laps to go. On the ensuing restart, Pauch, Jr. held off Barney with
VanHorn advancing into third, Davis riding in fourth and Stangle slipping
back to fifth. Over the final laps, Pauch, Jr. distanced himself away from
the pack and cruised to his second win of the year. Barney's strong run
netted him second place. With VanHorn finishing third, Davis was fourth and
Stangle was fifth. Matt Stangle, Ryan Godown and Dominick Buffalino were the
Modified heat winners.
Art Liedl, who has the most feature wins in the former SS Sprint division at
New Egypt Speedway, was victorious in a Hammer Sportsman feature for the
first time since 2004. Liedl captured his second career win in the division
after taking the lead from Jimmy Amato on the third circuit of the 20-lap
contest. David Burns claimed the runner-up spot while Billy Osmun finished
in third. The top five was filled out by Cale Ross and Amato. The Hammer
Sportsman heat races were taken by David Burns and Billy Osmun.
In the 20-lap Crate Modified feature, Jordan Cox led from start to finish to
collect his first career win. Eric Palmer chased Cox throughout the feature
to take second place. Third went to Kyle Kania. Ninth place starting Ryan
Simmons came home in fourth and Johnny Bangs completed the race in fifth.
Kyle Kania and Dan Fleming were the victors in the Crate Modified heat
races.
Eric Jennings grabbed the lead on lap twelve and paced the field for the
remaining circuits to win the 20-lap Larry's Hot Rods & Harley's Northeast
Wingless Sprint Cars. Veteran Karl Freyer followed Jennings across the
finish line. Bobby Tersillo was third and Rich Mellor was fourth. A
disqualification of Larry McVay elevated Brian Spencer into fifth. Larry's
Hot Rods & Harley's Northeast Wingless Sprint Cars qualifying events were
won by Heidi Hedin and Eric Jennings.
For the second week in a row, Ryan Heim topped the field in the Lyons
Construction/Metal Fab Rookie Sportsman feature. Paige Brown led the opening
four circuits before the seventh place starting Heim took control. Sam
Martz, Jr. chased Heim over the final tours to claim the runner-up spot.
With Brown finishing third, Kevin Borden, Jr. was fourth and Erich Conk came
home in fifth.
