CHAMPIONS CROWNED AT BRIDGEPORT SPEEDWAY’S 2012 AWARDS BANQUET

Swedesboro, NJ (December 9, 2012) – At a packed Bridgeport Fire Hall
in Logan Township, NJ, Bridgeport Speedway crowned champions for the
2012 season on Saturday, December 8. Doug and Gena Hoffman hosted the
very well attended affair. Champions and top finishers from Friday and
Saturday night racing divisions were honored in front of the crowd.

Rick Laubach from Hellertown, PA went home with several big awards.
Early on, Laubach received his trophy and point fund money for winning
the 2012 Big Block Modified title. Richie Pratt, Jr. finished second
in the championship chase with veteran Jimmy Horton winding up in
third. Eric Kormann and Ryan Watt rounded out the top five. Mike
Barone, Matt Harrell, Ron Roberts, Mike Franz, and Jesse Hill
completed the top ten. For having the best hand of three Kings (three
second place finishes) in the Big Block Modified Poker Series, Laubach
returned to receive an additional $2500 for his effort. Horton won
$1500 for the second best hand with a pair of Tens and Barone received
$1000 for the third best hand of two Fives. A $1000 prize was handed
to Kormann for the worst hand.

The Crate Sportsmen title for 2012 was formally given to Ryan
Anderson. Matt Budd edged Brett Kressley in the final tally by a mere
five points to finish in second. Tommy Beamer and rookie Ricky DiEva
filled out the top five. Travis Hill, Brad Roberts, Mike Cogdill, CJ
Jones, and Brett Kelly rounded out the top ten. With three victories
(Aces) in the Crate Sportsmen Poker Series, Travis Hill won $1500 for
the best hand. Budd’s three Jacks was good for the second hand prize
of $1000 and Anderson’s third best hand of two pair garnered him an
additional $500. Tommy Beamer’s worst hand was worth $500.

Veteran Outlaw Stock Car racer Jeff Dirkes claimed his first Outlaw
Stock Car championship after a year-long battle with second place
finishing Terry Griffin. Tom Boehlert nipped Anthony DiBenedetto for
third and Russell Wurst wound up in fifth. The remaining top ten was
