THE JERSEY RUSH AT NEW EGYPT

FRED RAHMER HEADS TO NEW EGYPT TUESDAY NIGHT, AUGUST 30 FOR FIRST EVER "JERSEY RUSH"

Nationally recognized 410 sprint car driver Fred Rahmer of Salfordsville, PA is the latest entry for the Tuesday night, August 30 "JERSEY RUSH" to take place at the New Egypt Speedway. Rahmer has won at just about every track he competed at, except New Egypt and it was Rahmer way back in 1999, who organized and promoted the first ever 410 sprint car race at New Egypt. Local favorite Billy Pauch won the event that attracted a near capacity crowd. On Tuesday night, August 30, Rahmer's goal is to leave the track with his pockets stuffed with the $5,000 first place prize for winning the 30 lap JERSEY RUSH for 410 sprints. In the event of rain, Wednesday night, August 31 will be the rain date. Gates will open at 5 PM with race time set for 7:30 PM.

Rahmer is just one of many leading a caravan of sprint car rigs to New Egypt on August 30. Tyler Walker of Los Angeles, CA has entered the event in the Jesse Keen owned sprint car. Recently, Walker won the King's Royal at the Eldora (Ohio) Speedway and earned $50,000 for the win. Walker is a previous winner at New Egypt Speedway, winning the second (in 2000) of six 410 shows presented at this absolutely beautiful facility.

The roster of talent also includes Justin Henderson of Sioux Falls, SD, Greg Hodnett of Memphis, TN, Daryn Pittman of Owasso, OK, Lance Dewease of Fayetteville, PA, Dave Ely of West Lawn, PA, Curt Michael, URC's seven time champion of Ocean View, DE, Davey Sammons Bordentown, NJ, Rick Lafferty Pennington, NJ, Danny Dietrich Gettysburg, PA, Mark Smith, Chad Layton, Mark Bitner, Frank Cozze, Steve Buckwalter, Robbie Stillwaggon, Kevin Nouse, Jeff Taylor, Jonathan Swanson and Joey Biasi just to name a few of the pre-entries. With bonus money posted for drivers who pre-enter, the top talent is the country are getting their names in early for the JERSEY RUSH.

The 410 sprints are without a doubt the fastest race cars on dirt. with 900 horsepower and a weight of just 1,400 pounds, these cars will fly around the always exciting 7/16 mile "D" shaped Speedway. Just imagine, twenty-four 410 sprint cars starting two abreast and taking the green flag as they race into that first turn! You'll first hear the roar, then feel the rumble when this race begins.

The sprints will compete in time trials, heat race events and a "B" Main (consolation) all leading up to the JERSEY RUSH, a 30 lap feature paying $5,000 to the winner.

There is still more to this show.

Also on the program will be the Big Block Modifieds, the traditional weekly star-filled division at New Egypt Speedway. Billy Pauch, Rick Laubach, Willie Osmun, Jimmy Horton, David VanHorn, Richie Pratt, Wade Hendrickson and a host of other modified stars will be on hand to chase the $3,000 first place prize to win the 30 lap modified feature. Heats and a consolation will determine the twenty-four car starting field. Between the 410 Sprints and Big Block Modifieds, one can expect "Double Trouble" in the twin 30 lap feature events.

A Driver & Crew Meet and Greet is being planned by race organizers for fans to get an up close look at the drivers and cars. The Meet & Greet will take place from 5-6 PM. The gate from Victory Lane (behind the turn four seating) to the pit area will open to allow spectators to go pit side for one hour prior to the start of this blockbuster event. Come out early and enjoy a great night of racing.

General admission is $30 for adults, $10 for children 6-11 and kids under the age of six will be admitted for Free. The pit fee is $35 and a license is not required.
