New Egypt, NJ (April 30, 2017) – On Twin Twenty Night presented by Premio Sausage, Ryan Godown and Billy Pauch, Jr. each won a 358 Modified feature at New Egypt Speedway. In addition to his 358 Modified victory, Godown topped the field in the Northeast Wingless Sprint Car contest. TJ Lilly took top honors in the Hammer Sportsman main event. David Burns was the victor in the Lyons Construction/Metal Fab Rookie feature.

At the start of the first 20-lap feature for the 358 Modifieds, fourth place starting Danny Bouc bolted to the front of the pack. After a couple of caution periods and five circuits completed, Bouc was still on top with Ryan Godown in second place after starting in fifteenth. Godown was tracking down Bouc when a series of yellow flags took place on the eighth circuit. Once green flag racing resumed, Godown took the lead with nine tours recorded. Godown continued to his stretch his advantage over Bouc until he began to enter lap traffic with three laps remaining. In the midst of slower cars, Bouc began to close in on the leader but Godown maintained his position to take the win. With Bouc finishing in second, Ryan Krachun came home in third. Fourth went to DJ Ruppert. After starting in twenty-third, Rocco Infante finished in fifth.

With the top twelve finishers of the first feature inverted for the second 20-lap feature for the 358 Modifieds, polesitter Billy Pauch, Jr. grabbed the opening lap lead after the original start was scrubbed due to a caution. Just after the first tour was completed, the red flag was shone as a multi-car incident in turn one saw Roger Manning’s car rollover. After a few appearances of the yellow flag, Pauch, Jr. was still in command on lap six with Godown in second place and David Van Horn in third. At the halfway point, a mechanical issue forced Van Horn to drop out of the race on another restart and John McClelland was next in line behind Pauch, Jr. and Godown. In the second half of the race, Pauch, Jr. began to pull away from Godown but one final caution period occurred on lap nineteen. On the final resumption of racing, Pauch, Jr. held off one last charge by Godown to take his second win of the year. With McClelland breaking on the closing circuit, Willie Osmun finished in third. Fourth was taken by Ryan Krachun and Brandon Grosso completed the race in fifth. The 358 Modified heat winners were Lou Cicconi, Danny Bouc, and PJ Oliver.
