The Crate Modified feature was won by Jordan Cox. Eric Jennings took<br />top honors in the Larry's Hot Rods & Harley's Northeast Wingless Sprint Cars<br />feature. Ryan Heim won the Lyons Construction/Metal Fab Rookie Sportsman<br />race.<br /><br />Polesitter Chad Barney grabbed the lead as the 30-lap Modified feature began<br />with Richie Pratt, Jr. and Jim Bobbitt next in line. After several caution<br />periods and eight tours recorded, Barney was still in charge with Steve<br />Davis, Matt Stangle, Billy Pauch, Jr. and Pratt, Jr. completing the top<br />five. At the halfway point, the front four of Barney, Davis, Stangle and<br />Pauch, Jr. were racing in close quarters of one another. Shortly afterwards,<br />Pauch, Jr., who started the event in twenty-fourth, began to use the middle<br />racing lanes in the corners and motored into second place on the seventeenth<br />revolution. Two laps later, Pauch, Jr. scooted past Barney to take over<br />first place. Once on top, Pauch, Jr. began to pull away from the field.<br />Behind the leader and with nine circuits to go, Stangle edged up into third<br />while eighteenth place starting David VanHorn continued his march forward as<br />he moved into fourth. As Pauch, Jr. was beginning to approach lap traffic,<br />his comfortable lead evaporated due to a caution period for Tim Apgar with<br />four laps to go. On the ensuing restart, Pauch, Jr. held off Barney with<br />VanHorn advancing into third, Davis riding in fourth and Stangle slipping<br />back to fifth. Over the final laps, Pauch, Jr. distanced himself away from<br />the pack and cruised to his second win of the year. Barney's strong run<br />netted him second place. With VanHorn finishing third, Davis was fourth and<br />Stangle was fifth. Matt Stangle, Ryan Godown and Dominick Buffalino were the<br />Modified heat winners. <br /><br />Art Liedl, who has the most feature wins in the former SS Sprint division at<br /><a dir="ltr" href="x-apple-data-detectors://32" style="-webkit-text-decoration-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.258824);" x-apple-data-detectors-result="32" x-apple-data-detectors-type="misc" x-apple-data-detectors="true">New Egypt Speedway</a>, was victorious in a Hammer Sportsman feature for the<br />first time since 2004.

David Burns claimed the runner-up spot while Billy Osmun finished<br />in third. The top five was filled out by Cale Ross and Amato. The Hammer<br />Sportsman heat races were taken by David Burns and Billy Osmun.<br /><br />In the 20-lap Crate Modified feature, Jordan Cox led from start to finish to<br />collect his first career win.

Ramey credited his management team that includes Keith Hoffman, Danny Serrano and Dave Adams, Kolby Ramey and Hali Monroe. Ramey talked about the past struggles of the speedway and how his original goal was to prove that the facility could be profitable so that it could be sold. "We aren't racers," Ramey stated, "but I have come to love this racing family. We are committed to the future of the <a dir="ltr" href="x-apple-data-detectors://12" style="-webkit-text-decoration-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.258824);" x-apple-data-detectors-result="12" x-apple-data-detectors-type="misc" x-apple-data-detectors="true">Bridgeport Speedway</a>,"</span></span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Ryan Watt received the top honors in the Spirit Auto Center Big Block Modifieds with his Ron Roberts Racing No. 14w. Watt is just one of six drivers to have collected back-to-back titles in the history of the <a dir="ltr" href="x-apple-data-detectors://13" style="-webkit-text-decoration-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.258824);" x-apple-data-detectors-result="13" x-apple-data-detectors-type="calendar-event" x-apple-data-detectors="true">5/8th</a> mile speedway. "This was the best year I've ever had," Watt exclaimed. "Who would have thought that a message on Facebook in 2009 would have led to this!" Watt referenced the 2009 season when it appeared that a blown motor would side the Boyertown driver and his team for the remaining weeks of the season. But a season ending message posted on Facebook by his wife, Lesley, led to a response from Ron Roberts and Fay Marion who offered Watt an engine to complete the season. And, as the saying goes, the rest is history. Watt has rewarded Roberts with three Big Block titles (plus a Crate Modified Championship in 2011) and numerous victories. The walls of Watt's garage, lined with the big checks from prominent wins, are a testament the success that the Watt/Roberts combination has produced. Watt collected nine Bridgeport wins this season including the Super DIRTcar event, King of the Big Blocks and Dirty Jersey. </span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Dominick Buffalino finished second in Big Block points, finishing outside the top ten on just three occasions during Bridgeport's 2017 season. Buffalino went winless at Bridgeport during the 2017 season but his frequent runner-up finishes and week in and week out consistency, had him second only to Watt in the final tally. Rick Laubach, Richie Pratt, Jr. and David Hunt finished in third through fifth in the final standings. </span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">For the first time, Watt also claimed the Colonial Pipeline Call Before You Dig Poker Series Championship after winning three Poker series events. Duane Howard, the 2016 Poker Champion, finished second with Laubach's finishes netting him a third place run. Frank Cozze had four top ten finishes in Poker Series competition but his finishes didn't add up to a competitive Poker Series hand but he was able to collect the winnings for the Worst Hand of the 2017 season.</span></div>

Roger Manning had a single victory and seven second place finishes to finish third. Eric Kormann's thirteen consecutive top five finishes placed him fourth with Adam Cox finishing fifth in his first full season as a Bridgeport competitor. </span></div>

Wills finished in the top five in every race during the 2017 season, collecting enough points to win the title over Jeramy Doerr, Brian Ludwig, John Parker and David Kramer. </span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">ALLENTOWN, PA January 6, 2018 . . . NASCAR Whelen Modified Touring Series competitor Justin Bonsignore of Holtsville, Long Island, N.Y., raced his way to the win in the first Ironton Telephone Allentown, Pa., Three Quarter (TQ) Midget feature of the weekend</span><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> </span><a dir="ltr" href="x-apple-data-detectors://6" style="-webkit-text-decoration-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.258824); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);" x-apple-data-detectors-result="6" x-apple-data-detectors-type="calendar-event" x-apple-data-detectors="true">Friday night</a><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The race was the first of the three event Indoor Auto Racing Series Fueled By VP Racing Fuels.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> Bonsigore also earned the E.F. Schneider & Son Hard Charger Of The Race award, worth an additional $150. Bonsignore started 20th in the 25-car field.</span></div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> “I had to start way back when the front end of my car broke in my heat race,” Bonsignore said. “I had to win the B Main to even start 20th. But the car was always fast. It was just a matter of having the luck to get through the wrecks.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> Attrition claimed several front runners early in the competition. Bobby Holmes led early until his car suffered mechanical problems while leading, under yellow. Erick Rudolph, an eight-time career Indoor Auto Racing Series past winner, got airborne and spun to a stop, and went to the back of the field as a result. He charged back through the pack to finish third.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> Ryan Flores was the leader at mid-race, chased by Matt Janisch. But Flores, winner of the last two Allentown Indoor Auto Racing Series events, slowed as the laps unreeled, eventually pulling off with what proved to be a slowly deflating tire.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> Bonsignore took the lead with fourteen laps left in the race after Flores dropped out. Matt Janisch gained second spot and finished there, while a late race tangle between Jon Reid and Scott Kreutter cost both a top five finish. Instead, Rudolph shot to third and 2017 ATQMRA Outdoor TQ driving champion Ryan Tidman assumed fourth. Earl Paules gained fifth.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> Rounding out the top ten in the event were Timmy Catalano, Joey Payne, Kreutter, Geoffrey Sutton and Billy Whittaker.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> In the companion race, Cale Ross of Lambertville, N.J., was the winner of the Champ Kart feature.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> Ross led the entire distance challenged initially by EJ Holz. When Holz faded at mid-distance, Mike Perry and Richie Davidowitz took up the chase. Back in the field, Tyler Thompson, who had lined up in the eighth row initially, had also clawed his way into the top five.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> Despite some seven caution flags and restarts, Ross was never passed. Perry held for second, Thompson grabbed third late after Davidowitz’s car proved balky on the next-to-last restart, and Ryan Kendall moved to fourth at the checkered. James Shutt was fifth. Davidowitz was seventh.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> “Every one of the restarts concerned me because you never know if somebody will drive under you,” Ross said. “That and lapped traffic. But no problems with either one in this race,” Ross smiled.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> The win was Ross’s third Indoor Auto Racing Series Champ Kart career victory. Previous scores were registered in Atlantic City, N.J. and Trenton, N.J.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> Tommy Catalano and Bobby Holmes led the field into the first turn for the start of the 40-lapper with Erick Rudolph, Earl Paules, Tim Buckwalter and Andy Jankowiak in tow.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> Six ten- lap TQ Midget heat races were won by Rudolph, Holmes, Buckwalter, Jankiowiak, Catalano and Paules. Three 12-lap TQ B-Mains were run to complete the 24-car starting field. Timmy Catalano, Justin Bonsignore and Bobby Butler won these frenetic affairs.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> Ronnie Mullen escaped injury in a wild flip into the outside fence during the third TQ Midget B-Main. “I flew through the air, that’s all I know,” Mullen quipped in a post-crash on-the-spot interview. Mullen’s crash was of sufficient velocity to temporarily dislodge the concrete barrier.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> Three eight-lap Champ Kart prelims were earned by Ed Holz, William Davis and Cale Ross. The 10-lap Champ Kart B Main was snared by Eric Zeh.</span></div>

<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> The new season at the Kutztown Fairgrounds oval will see just about all of its first half scheduled on Sunday evenings as opposed to the previous norm of Wednesday nights. After the traditional two-week break for the annual Folk Festival in late June/early July, the bulk of the second-half events will go back to Wednesdays.</span><br />
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> "Last year, we ran twice on Sundays and had terrific car counts," explained co-promoter Doug Rose. "We asked some of the first-time participants why we don't see them on Wednesday nights, and they said it's because they either live (or work) too far away or just can't get away early enough to make it on time in the middle of the week. We also noticed an uptick in the grandstand attendance on those two Sundays so we decided to alter the schedule for this year."</span><br />
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> "We will run primarily on Sundays for the first half of the 2018 season," added Rose, "because it also allows us to start an hour earlier, and that means we can get racers and fans out of there an hour earlier as well, which is important when they've got school and work the next day. An earlier finish will be welcomed by the surrounding community, too."</span><br />
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> The Sunday shows, which kick off <a dir="ltr" href="x-apple-data-detectors://13" style="-webkit-text-decoration-color: rgba(51, 51, 51, 0.258824);" x-apple-data-detectors-result="13" x-apple-data-detectors-type="calendar-event" x-apple-data-detectors="true">on May 13</a> with the Goldie & Elton Meitzler Memorial, will see warm-ups getting underway <a dir="ltr" href="x-apple-data-detectors://14" style="-webkit-text-decoration-color: rgba(51, 51, 51, 0.258824);" x-apple-data-detectors-result="14" x-apple-data-detectors-type="calendar-event" x-apple-data-detectors="true">at 5 p.m.</a> with qualifying races immediately following the hot lap sessions.</span><br />
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> The one exception to the Sunday slate of events will be <a dir="ltr" href="x-apple-data-detectors://16" style="-webkit-text-decoration-color: rgba(51, 51, 51, 0.258824);" x-apple-data-detectors-result="16" x-apple-data-detectors-type="calendar-event" x-apple-data-detectors="true">on Monday, May 28</a>, when the Memorial Day Showdown will be presented on the progressively banked clay oval. "We didn't want to run that Sunday out of respect for the annual Thunder on the Hill race at nearby Grandview Speedway," said co-promoter Rich Tobias. "And racing on Memorial Day itself has kind of faded away, and we'd like to bring that back. So race teams and fans will be able to round out their holiday weekend with some great racing at Action Track USA."</span><br />
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> The same weekly divisions - the USAC All Pro SpeedSTRs, the Hyper Racing 600 Sprints, and the All Star Slingshots - will comprise the menu of competition at the Berks County speedway, with several big races earmarked for each of those classes. </span><br />
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> The SpeedSTRs will compete in the annual Flyin' Farmer 40 <a dir="ltr" href="x-apple-data-detectors://18" style="-webkit-text-decoration-color: rgba(51, 51, 51, 0.258824);" x-apple-data-detectors-result="18" x-apple-data-detectors-type="calendar-event" x-apple-data-detectors="true">on June 13</a> with $3,000 going to the winner. And the traditional Dick Tobias Classic will provide a $5,000 payday to the winner of that 75-lap event <a dir="ltr" href="x-apple-data-detectors://21" style="-webkit-text-decoration-color: rgba(51, 51, 51, 0.258824);" x-apple-data-detectors-result="21" x-apple-data-detectors-type="calendar-event" x-apple-data-detectors="true">on Sunday, August 5.</a> "Regular" SpeedSTR features throughout the season offer a $2,000 winner's share.</span><br />
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> The immensely popular Hyper Racing (non-wing) 600 Sprints will race for a lucrative purse on six occasions, beginning with the King of No Wing Shootout <a dir="ltr" href="x-apple-data-detectors://23" style="-webkit-text-decoration-color: rgba(51, 51, 51, 0.258824);" x-apple-data-detectors-result="23" x-apple-data-detectors-type="calendar-event" x-apple-data-detectors="true">on May 20.</a> Other events boasting at least a $1,000 winner's check (with Gambler's Challenge) include the Tri-Track Challenge <a dir="ltr" href="x-apple-data-detectors://25" style="-webkit-text-decoration-color: rgba(51, 51, 51, 0.258824);" x-apple-data-detectors-result="25" x-apple-data-detectors-type="calendar-event" x-apple-data-detectors="true">on July 11</a>; a pair of 600 Speedweek dates <a dir="ltr" href="x-apple-data-detectors://26" style="-webkit-text-decoration-color: rgba(51, 51, 51, 0.258824);" x-apple-data-detectors-result="26" x-apple-data-detectors-type="calendar-event" x-apple-data-detectors="true">on August 1st</a> and 5th; and two big races during the annual Kutztown Fair - with one of those events being a "first ever" production at Action Track USA.</span><br />
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> <a dir="ltr" href="x-apple-data-detectors://27" style="-webkit-text-decoration-color: rgba(51, 51, 51, 0.258824);" x-apple-data-detectors-result="27" x-apple-data-detectors-type="calendar-event" x-apple-data-detectors="true">On Tuesday, August 14</a>, the 600's will wear wings for the first time under the Tobias/Rose promotional effort. That 35-lap A-Main will pay $1,500 to the winner (with Gambler's Challenge). Then, the very next evening, the 600's will compete in the track's now-traditional 60-lap Fair Week National that offers $2,000 to win (with Gambler's Challenge)! And that's not all...a bonus of $1,000 is on the line for any driver who can sweep both the winged and non-wing A-Mains during the Fair! </span><br />
