KRACHUN MARCHES BACK INTO NEW EGYPT SPEEDWAY'S VICTORY LANE

New Egypt, NJ (August 19, 2018) - At Eastern AutoParts Warehouse's Jeep
Night, Ryan Krachun marched back into New Egypt Speedway's victory lane by
winning the Modified feature. The Hammer Sportsman main event was won by Bob
Lineman Jr. Karl Freyer was triumphant in the Larry's Hot Rods & Harley's
Northeast Wingless Sprint Car feature.

As the 30-lap Modified feature got underway, PJ Oliver grabbed the lead.
Sixth place starting Ryan Krachun was quickly on the move as he traveled
into the runner-up spot with three laps in the books. After the yellow
lights illuminated on the third circuit, Oliver was still on top with
Krachun in second and Billy Pauch Jr., who started the contest in eleventh,
motoring into third. Krachun was beginning to reel in Oliver just before two
appearances of the yellow flag on the seventh revolution. Once racing
resumed, Krachun raced past Oliver to gain first place with Pauch Jr.
slipping into second and Oliver, Steve Davis and Jimmy Horton next in line.
Following an additional caution period, Krachun was still setting the pace
at the halfway point with Pauch Jr., Davis, Oliver and TJ Lilly completing
the top five. One tour later, Horton would work his way past Lilly to regain
fifth. With ten laps to go, Krachun had a three-car advantage over Pauch.
Jr. On lap twenty one, David VanHorn, who was the point leader entering the
race, stopped in the fourth corner to bring out the final yellow flag of the
contest. When the green flag waved, Krachun repelled another challenge by
Pauch Jr. to maintain his lead with Oliver, Davis, and Horton rounding out
the top five. With only five to go, Krachun and Pauch Jr. had pulled away
from the field with Krachun having a two-car length advantage. Over the
final tours, Krachun continued his strong pace to record his third career
checkered flag and his first since 2015. With Pauch Jr. finishing in second,
Oliver netted third. Davis came home in fourth and Horton captured fifth.
The Modified heat races were claimed by PJ Oliver, Steve Davis, and Billy
Pauch Jr. Brandon Grosso was the victor in the consolation contest.

In the non-stop feature for the Hammer Sportsman, Bob Lineman Jr. led from
start to finish to win the 20-lap race. The victory was the second of the
year for Lineman Jr. and the eighteenth of his career at New Egypt Speedway.
Tenth place starting Cale Ross took the runner-up spot after a good battle
with Will Dupree. With Dupree finishing third, David Burns was fourth. Ryan
Heim, the 2018 Rookie Champion, completed the contest in fifth. David Burns
and Bob Lineman Jr. won the qualifying events for the Hammer Sportsman.

After gaining the lead from Duane Nixon on the sixth circuit, Karl Freyer
paced the field for the remaining distance to take the 20-lap feature for
the Larry's Hot Rods & Harley's Northeast Wingless Sprint Cars. The victory
was Freyer's third of the season as he continues to sit on top of the point
standings. Rich Mellor followed Freyer across the finish line. Third went to
Lee Nardelli. Jordan Lawrence and Dan Malley filled out the top five. The
heat races in the Larry's Hot Rods & Harley's Northeast Wingless Sprint Cars
division were taken by Brian Spencer and Duane Nixon.
