NEW EGYPT, NJ - August 20, 2011
It was Christmas in August night at the New Egypt Speedway and it arrived early for Bobby Devault as he claimed his second career TSRS feature win.
An all ladies front row of Stephanie Stevens and Stephanie Palmai would lead a strong field of sprinters to the green flag. At the drop of the green flag Palmai would grab the initial lead but following a third turn accident involving Frank Leito, Jeff Schall and Bruce Kindberg a complete restart was in order. On the restart Palmai would once again grap the top spot and build an early lead as Stevens, Jeff Geiges, Devault and Chuck Palmucci would stage an exciting battle for position.
Joe Lord
Joe Lord charging his way towards the front brought out the second yellow of the night as he came in contact with the fence between turns one and two.
Once again this would tighten up the field with Palmai on the point followed by Geiges, Devault, Palmucci and Stevens.
At the drop of the green Palmai would hold-off the challenges of Geiges and distance herself with a hot battle ensuing between Geiges, Devault and Palmucci. Devault would pass Geiges for the runner-up spot with Palmucci and Kyle Reinhardt entering the top five from his twelveth starting spot. A final caution would fall on lap 15 as Sean Campbell came to stop on the back stretch. Once again Palmai's lead would be cut with Devault on her tail at the drop of the green.Devault would continue to pressure Palmai as the two put on a spectacular show for the fans. With a lap and a half remaining Devault was able to hold his outside line and sweep around Palmai to grab the feature win with Palmai right behind for second. Defending series champ Jeff Geiges came home third followed by Chuck Palmucci and the young upstart, Kyle Reinhardt, rounding out the top five.
