THE JERSEY RUSH III AT NEW
EGYPT SPEEDWAY
NAPA AUTO PARTS &
PIONEER POLE BUILDINGS present:
MODIFIED DRIVERS GODOWN
& WILLIAMS TO MAKE MAIDEN 410 SPRINT STARTS AT NEW EGYPT SPEEDWAY TUESDAY,
AUGUST 20
DAVEY SAMMONS TO MAKE FIRST
START IN MODIFIED IN JERSEY RUSH DOUBLEHEADER
NEW EGYPT, NJ . . . . .
The super-fast winged 410 sprint cars predominantly a central Pennsylvania dirt
track racing staple, will march eastward to New Jersey’s New Egypt Speedway on
Tuesday night, August 20 for the once-a-year JERSEY RUSH presented by NAPA Auto
Parts and Pioneer Pole Buildings. While the heavy hitting regular drivers and
teams that race at Williams Grove, Port Royal and Lincoln Speedways each week
will provide the bulk of the entries, two of New Egypt Speedway’s Modified
regulars will be making their 410 sprint car debuts-and a 410 regular will be
taking his first Modified green flag.
Ryan Godown, Ringoes, N.J.
defending New Egypt Modified champion, and Neal Williams, Pittsgrove, N.J.
second year Modified wheelman, will make their first starts in 410 Sprints at
the third annual JERSEY RUSH in addition to campaigning their Modifieds.
Godown will come to post for the first time in a Sprint Car provided by
Bordentown, N.J. 410 driver Davey Sammons. Sammons will make his first start in
a Modified fielded by Godown’s race shop.
The double duty driving of
Godown and Sammons has been made possible through the efforts of their mutual
sponsor, EG Auto & Tire Center of Dayton, NJ owned by local time race car
owner John Chemidlin. Williams, whose car owner Fred Vahlsing also owns New
Egypt Speedway, will saddle up for the first time in a Sprint Car recently
purchased
for him.
Godown and Williams will have
their hands full taking on a quality-laden 410 Sprint field that is expected to
include Greg Hodnett, Mark Smith, Lance Dewease, Fred Rahmer, Danny Dietrich, JJ
Grasso, Ryan Smith, Billy Pauch Jr., Robbie Stillwaggon and Sammons. The 410
sprints will chase a $5,000 to win payoff plus $1,000 for 10th and $400 to take
the green as the modified feature winner will collect a $3,000 payday for 30
laps.
Sammons, Godown and Williams
are expected to be challenged in the Modifieds by New Egypt Speedway’s most
prolific feature winner Billy Pauch and recent feature winner Willie Osmun among
three dozen anticipated entries. Expected invaders should include last year’s
JERSEY RUSH Modified winner Jimmy Horton, Craig Von Dohren, Frank
Cozze and Rick
Laubach.
Making the Modified portion of
JERSEY RUSH III even more interesting, event organizers have created a blend of
rules to bring together the Big Block Modifieds and the PA/New Egypt Legal 358
Modifieds. Big Block Modifieds will have a 467 cubic inch limit, they must
run with windows only, and on gas with a weight of 2,500 pounds. For the
PA/New Egypt Legal 358
Modifieds, sail panels are allowed, gas with a weight of 2,275 or alcohol with
a weight of 2,350. Nine-to-one compression ratio Steel Block engined cars will
have a weight of 2275. American Racer Tires will be required (no stamp
necessary) with the fronts at 33 or harder, the left rear at 44 or harder and
the right rear at 48 or harder. This blend of rules was designed to attract
drivers from various speedways and should bring together a vast number of
talent laden entries.
With New Egypt regulars making
their 410 Sprint debuts, a big field of 410 Sprinters already entered and an
innovative Modified rules formula designed to be all-inclusive, JERSEY RUSH III
is taking shape as one of the most anticipated auto racing events in the state
of New Jersey.
The NAPA Auto Parts/Pioneer
Pole Buildings JERSEY RUSH III will get underway at 7:30 PM, with gates
opening at 5:00 PM . The extremely popular 410 Sprint Car Pit Side Meet
&
Greet, always a highlight of
this event, allows race fans to enter the pit area from 5:00 PM, to 6:00
PM.
This huge event is a
co-promotion between Lenny, Danny and Davey Sammons and special events
organizer Bob Miller.
