RISLONE URC SPRINT SERIES
TAYLOR & MESSICK DELAWARE SPRINT SERIES DELIVERS THRILLER. . . . . .
JJ GRASSO UNBELIEVABLE. . . . .FROM SEVENTENTH TO FIRST WITH JUST ONE CAUTION, SCORES FOURTH RISLONE SPRINT SERIES WIN SUNDAY NIGHT AT GEORGETOWN
UNBELIEVABLE.
That one word pretty much tells the story of the Rislone URC Sprint Series race Sunday night at the Georgetown Speedway. JJ Grasso lived up to his name the "Jersey Jet" and thrilled hundreds of race fans by starting seventeenth and winning the 25 lap feature event. The race had just one caution flag, that came out on lap seventeen when race leader Joey Biasi blew a tire and stopped in turn one. Grasso was third on the restart , then caught Tim Hogue for second on lap twenty-one. With the white flag waiving, Grasso passed Josh Weller for the lead and went on to score his fourth URC win of the season. The fans went absolutely wild. Just several weeks back, Grasso lost the ride in the potent Palladino #99 and quickly pieced together his family owned car to sustain his second place ranking in the URC season long point chase.
URC heat race events were won by Joey Biasi, Denny Garl and Josh Weller. The LikeWise fast time of the night was set by Biasi during the running of the first heat race.
In the twenty-five lap feature event on Taylor & Messick Night at Georgetown Speedway, Joey Biasi and Denny Garl made-up the front row and at the drop of the green flag, Biasi blasted to the lead. Josh Weller, moved into second with Eddie Wagner in third and Tim Hogue fourth. Biasi maintained a solid lead with Weller holding down second. On lap ten, Tim Hogue moved into third and at the same time, front wing damage was noticeable on the Weller sprint car.
JJ Grasso who started seventeenth was now in the top five, blasting his way through traffic on a mission. At the halfway point of the race, Biasi was the leader with Weller second followed by Tim Hogue, Grasso and Eddie Wagner.
The leader was now approaching slower traffic and Weller and Hogue were closing in on the leaders as Grasso was chasing down all the front runners.
The turning point of the race came on lap seventeen when a right rear tire blew on the Biasi sprint car, displaying the yellow flag. It was an unfortunate turn of events for Biasi who had a great run well in hand.
On the restart, Weller had the pole with Tim Hogue and Grasso making up the top three. Curt Michael, who started ninth was now running in fourth. With the drop of the green flag, Weller took off but it was Tim Hogue who found a burst of power and challenged Weller for the lead on the long run down the backstretch. Grasso was watching it all unfold and actually gave-up a few car lengths to the leaders.
Grasso turned up the heat and began to reel in the leaders once again and suddenly, it was a three car race for the lead. On lap twenty-one, Grasso made the pass on Hogue for second and began the task of reeling in his former ride, with Josh Weller at the wheel.
With two laps to go, Weller now had Grasso on his bumper and down the backstretch, Grasso made the pass for the lead. Weller challenged back entering turn three but Grasso held the advantage out of turn four to take the white flag. Grasso was not contested the final lap and the storybook finish was a reality for JJ Grasso. Weller finished second with Tim Hogue scoring a strong third with Curt Michael fourth and rookie driver Troy Betts scoring a career high fifth place finish.
After the checker flag, Betts and Randy West tangled on the backstretch with Betts flipping. There were no injuries in the post checker flag crash.
FEATURE FINISH: JJ Grasso, Josh Weller, Tim Hogue, Curt Michael, Troy Betts, Randy West, Eddie Wagner, Ed Aikin, Andy Best, Art Liedl, Joe Zuczek, Robbie Stillwaggon, Dave Martin, Chris Glanden, Joey Biasi, Jeff Fifthian, Steve Downs, Ryan Stillwaggon, Denny Garl, Gary Gollub, Mike Kostic

THE JERSEY RUSH
IRENE FAILS TO STOP THE JERSEY RUSH. . . . .
JJ GRASSO STORMS TO IMPRESSIVE $5,000 410 SPRINT VICTORY AS BILLY PAUCH TOPS THE MODIFIEDS IN THE "JERSEY RUSH" TUESDAY NIGHT AT NEW EGYPT SPEEDWAY
NEW EGYPT, NJ . . . . . . Rain, hail, sleet and snow will not stop the mailman and Hurricane Irene was not about to stop the first presentation of the "JERSEY RUSH" Tuesday night at the New Egypt Speedway.
The event battled plenty of rain, damaging high winds and even a power outage at the track, but when it was all said and done, JJ Grasso of Pedricktown, NJ lived up to his "Jersey Jet" name to win the 30 lap, $5,000 to win JERSEY RUSH. Grasso wrestled the lead from Mark Smith on lap thirteen and survived two restarts to score his first ever 410 sprint car victory. Grasso was driving the John PInter owned sprinter and for Grasso, it was just his second time driving a 410 sprinter. In the thirty lap modified feature, Billy Pauch was the winner. Pauch started deep in the pack and took the lead on lap nineteen for David Van Horn. Pauch earned $3,000 for the victory in the feature event that ran non-stop. The checker flag in the modified feature fell at 10 PM, allowing the big crowd ample time to visit their favorite drivers in the pit area.
The JERSEY RUSH was a co-promotion between Lenny Sammons, his sons Danny and Davey and special events organizer Bob Miller. The show was viewed as a big success as a result of the large crowd on hand, outstanding dust-free track conditions and an efficiently well run program thanks the officials and staff of the New Egypt Speedway.
In the 410 sprint time trials, Lance Dewease set a new one lap track record of 14.193 for the recently re-configured "D" shaped New Egypt Speedway. Sprint heat race winners were Davey Sammons, Daryn Pittman and Rick Lafferty. In the big block modifieds, heats were won by Dave Hunt, David Van Horn and Billy Pauch as Stan Frankenfield won the modified consolation.
In the 30 lap JERSEY RUSH for sprint cars, Mark Smith led the field down for the green flag in the feature event. Smith set the pace with JJ Grasso in the chase followed by Davey Sammons, Lance Dewease and Rick Lafferty. By lap seven, Smith had a six car length lead over Grasso as all eyes were on Daryn Pittman who now moved into fifth.
On lap night, Grasso took a run at the lead, pulling within inches of Smith and as the field passed the line on lap nine. The yellow was then displayed for Davey Sammons who tagged the inside guardrail and spun in turn four as Shane Stewart spun to avoid contact.
When green flag racing resumed, Mark Smith continued to set the pace with Grasso about three car lengths behind as Lance Dewease and Daryn Pittman tried to reel in the top two. The move of the race came on lap fourteen when Grasso made the pass around Mark Smith for the lead. As the field passed for the halfway mark, Grasso was the leader followed by Mark Smith, Pittman, Dewease and Rick Lafferty.
The second yellow flag of the race was displayed on lap sixteen for Dave Wilson and Robbie Stillwaggon who spun in turn four. The restart saw Grasso get a good jump on the field, pulling a six car length lead by lap seventeen. On lap nineteen, the yellow was displayed, this time for Jim Campbell.
On the restart, Mark Smith managed to stay closer to Grasso with an attempt to regain the lost position and by the way, Daryn Pittman was now charging after the leaders followed by Dewease and Fred Rahmer now in the top five.
Grasso maintained a several car length lead by now Smith had to stop challenging for the lead and start defending his runner-up spot from Daryn Pittman. It was a two car race for second with Smith and Pittman battling for the final five laps.
With the checker flag waiving, Grasso scored an impressive win over Mark Smith, Daryn Pittman, Lance Dewease and Fred Rahmer.
Billy Pauch
In the thirty lap modified feature, David Van Horn was the early race leader with Jimmy Blewett in the chase along with Tim Tanner Jr. The side-by-side battles where taking place everywhere on the finely prepared track surface. On lap ten, Tanner made a bid for the lead, but settled back into the runner-up spot. Blewett ran in third with Jeff Strunk now joining the party in fourth with Jimmy Horton fifth. By lap fourteen, Blewett moved into second on lap fourteen and made his bid to reel in the leader.
At the halfway point of the race, Van Horn was running a brilliant race with Blewett second and out of nowhere, Billy Pauch moved into the picture racing third with Tanner and Strunk making up the top five. On lap sixteen, Pauch moved into second and set out to chase down the leader.
By lap nineteen, Pauch was the leader with Van Horn now in second followed by Blewett, Strunk and Horton.. With just five laps remaining, Jeff Strunk pass Blewett and took over the third position. Pauch had a solid lead but there was still plenty of passing within the rest of the field. On the final lap, Jimmy Horton passed Jimmy Blewett to finish fourth with Blewett fifth. Pauch took the win with Van Horn second and Jeff Strunk third.

Bobby Devault The TSRS Winner At New Egypt
Posted by: | CommentsTri-State RaceSaver Series
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.
