BUFFALINO AND STANGLE OUTDUEL COMPETITION TO GAIN VICTORIES AT NEW EGYPT SPEEDWAY’S GARDEN STATE GUNFIGHT

New Egypt, NJ (June 28, 2017) – At New Egypt Speedway’s Garden State Gunfight, Dominick Buffalino fought off his rivals to win the 60-lap Modified feature while Matt Stangle bested the field in the 25-lap Sportsman event.

As the Modified feature got underway, Wade Hendrickson grabbed the lead with Steve Davis and Ryan Godown next in line. Godown would advance into the runner-up spot with six circuits completed. With ten laps recorded, Godown was cutting into Hendrickson’s margin with Davis in third and Anthony Perrego in fourth. Godown pulled even with Hendrickson on the twelfth lap and took over the lead one tour later. As the green flag circuits clicked away, Godown began to approach the tail end of the field on the eighteenth lap with Perrego in second. With the top two runners in the midst of lapping cars, Billy Pauch, Jr. and Dominick Buffalino were making moves to gain third and fourth place respectively by the twenty-first revolution. As Perrego was closing in on Godown, the first caution of the event took place as Rick Laubach collided hard with the outside wall in turn one and collected Brett Kressley in the incident. On the ensuing restart, Godown maintained his edge with Buffalino jumping into second, Pauch, Jr. staying in third and Perrego dropping back into fourth. The high line running Buffalino began to challenge Godown for the top spot when PJ Oliver’s ride slowed on lap twenty-eight. When green flag racing resumed, Godown and Buffalino dueled for two tours with Buffalino switching to the inside lane to take command of the contest just before the caution flag waved for the mid-race fuel stop. At the halfway point, the top five runners were Buffalino, Godown, Perrego, Pauch, Jr. and Davis. After the brief break, action returned with Buffalino still on top but Pauch, Jr. taking over second. Pauch, Jr., who started the event in fourteenth, catapulted to the front on the thirty-third lap following a caution period for Ryan Krachun. Once on top, Pauch, Jr. began to distance himself from his foes with Buffalino and Godown dicing for second with twenty laps remaining in the contest. Five tours later, Buffalino was slowly carving into the comfortable margin that Pauch, Jr. had established. By the forty-sixth lap, the top two began to enter lap traffic. Over the next several revolutions, Buffalino began to slice into the leader’s advantage. With only four tours left, Buffalino had reeled in Pauch, Jr. and was ready to contend for the lead. On lap fifty-seven, Buffalino motored by Pauch, Jr. to assume the front running spot. Buffalino paced the field for the final circuits to claim the $6,000 first place prize. Pauch, Jr. came home in second with Godown claiming third. Duane Howard drove up from his twelfth place start to finish in fourth. Perrego’s strong run netted him fifth. The Modified heat winners were Danny Bouc, Rick Laubach, Ryan Godown and Dominick Buffalino. Frank Cozze and Jeff Strunk were victorious in the consolation races.

In the 25-lap Sportsman event, Matt Stangle gained the lead on the sixteenth lap and remained on top to collect the victory. Steve Davis led the opening fifteen tours before Stangle assumed the advantage following a restart. Second place was taken by Mike Lyons. Involved in a caution on the eighth circuit, JR Fulper came from the back of the pack to finish in third place. Jim Housworth, who started the race in eighteenth, was fourth with Jason Dunn taking fifth. Mike Lyons, Steve Davis, Jason Bittner and Jason Dunn won the Sportsman qualifying races. The consolation contests were taken by Tommy Tanner and Jim Housworth.
