Fulper Flies To First New Egypt Victory; Housworth Hustles To Romano Memorial

NEW EGYPT, NJ - Milford, NJ’s JR Fulper picked up his first career New Egypt Speedway Modified victory on Saturday night as he held off Frank Cozze and a hard charging David VanHorn in the 30-lap main event.

“I’m so happy, when I was going to work this morning something told me that we would be here tonight. I can’t believe it. We were able to put everything together,” said Fulper post race.

Kory Fleming led the Vahlco Wheels Modified feature to the green flag and would lead the first five laps of the event before giving way to JR Fulper.

With Fulper out in front the man on the move in the early stages was Dakota Kessler racing up to second from his seventh place starting spot by lap eight.

The first yellow of the event flew on lap 11 when Eric Engstrom broke and veered into traffic, clipping Kessler severely damaging the right rear corner of his No. 449 and ending his promising night.

Fulper maintained the lead on the restart which saw Frank Cozze charge up to third from the sixth position.

The second and final caution of the event occurred on lap 12 when Ryan Krachun debuting a new Bicknell machine had trouble on the backstretch ending his event.

Fulper again shot out to the lead on the restart and this time brought Frank Cozze with him who had finally cleared Cale Ross for the runner-up position. David VanHorn entered the fray at the lap 17 mark as he was now on the charge up from his 13th starting position. At the five to go signal VanHorn had caught Cozze for second, finally getting past the No. 401 with two laps remaining.

While all of this was going on JR Fulper pulled out to over a second lead. Unfortunately for VanHorn’s sake he would run out of time as Fulper held him off for his first career Modified win.

VanHorn crossed the stripe in second with Frank Cozze third, 15th starting Billy Pauch Jr. in fourth and Davey Sammons fifth.

“We did a good job getting through lapped traffic, everything went good. We work so hard, we’re a small family team. I can’t believe we beat those guys,” said an elated Fulper in victory lane.

The Sportsman had their night in the spotlight on Saturday with the John Romano Memorial 30 lapper.

Marty Resnick used his pole position starting spot to jump out to the early lead but the caution would fly on the first lap when Matt Ellery and Joseph Brown tangled causing a pile up that also included John Scarpati and Bill Liedtka.

When green replaced yellow, Resnick continued to set the pace with John Criscione all over the back bumper of the No. 13. The second caution of the race flew when points leader David Burns spun in turns one and two.

Resnick held his ground out front before Criscione finally got the best of him on lap seven.

The caution flag came unfurled again on lap 17 for Joseph Brown who again was pointed backwards in turns three and four, this time after contact with Aaron Weaver.

Criscone would be back out front on the restart but it would be Jim Housworth leading lap 18 as he cleared Criscione for position.

The final yellow of the event flew when Jimmy Amato was found backwards in turns one and two.

Housworth continued to lead on the restart and went on to score the John Romano Memorial victory. Bob Lineman Jr. charged from his 10th place starting position to come home second with Criscione third, Burns rebounded from his spin to finish fourth and 2019 John Romano Memorial winner Will Dupree rounded out the top five.

Sammy Martz Jr. rocketed to the front of the Ice Less LLC Crate Modified main event from his 15th starting position for good on lap 15 as he took the lead from Robbie Holzwarth to pick up his second of the season at NES. Jim Housworth ran second followed by Dan Fleming, Anthony Tramontana Jr. and Vinny Troia.

Shannon Mongeau won his second Street Stock feature event of the season as he was chased by Bill Liedtka, point leader Brian Ludwig, Larry Reed and Joe Reid.

Amanda Buchel was the winner in the Lyons Construction/Metal Fab Rookie Sportsman.

New Egypt Speedway will crown its 2020 Vahlco Wheels Modified champion this coming Saturday, September 12th on First Responders Night. Unofficially Danny Bouc leads Mike Butler by 18 points heading into Saturday’s point finale.

BECHTELSVILLE, PA SEPT. 1, 2020 . . . Competition is the name of the game in NASCAR stock car racing at Grandview Speedway. With ten nights of racing, counting toward the championships, there has been seven different winners in the T.P.Trailers Modifieds while in the T.P.Truck Equipment Sportsman there has been ten different winners.

Just 115 points separate the top three in the Modified standings with 248 points is the spread between first and fifth in the Sportsman.

At present just two nights of point racing remain in the 2020 season, shortened by the virus issues.

All interest now turns to Saturday, September 5, when the first “HARD CHARGER CHALLENGE” is presented along with the T.P.Trailers NASCAR Modifieds and T.P.Truck Equipment NASCAR Sportsman, part of the Advance Auto Parts Racing Series featuring speedways across the nation.

The Challenge, created by car owner Joe Fanelli, will have Modified racers not in the top 15 Modified point standings as of August 29, have run in at least 3 races and have never won a Modified race at Grandview, racing in a 22-lap feature race that will reward the winner with a $1,022 check created by Joey Adams plus other awards. Second and third spots will offer cash prizes. Additional awards, which continue to grow, are available to others.

Taking place right after the national anthem the top prize will be a last place starting position in the Modified feature race. However the winner can also choose to run in a qualifying heat race in an effort to improve their starting position.

For additional “Challenge” information reach out to 2geezer2@gamil.com or telephone 610.389.1184.

Once the “Challenge” is complete the championship chase continues with qualifying events for the Modifieds and Sportsman will be presented with the best finishers moving on to the 30-lap feature for Modifieds and 25-lap feature for the Sportsman. Adult admission is $15 while youngsters under 12 are admitted free. Spectator gates open at 5:30 p.m. with green flag waving for racing at 7:30 p.m.

The chase for the championships is scheduled at present to finish up on Saturday, September 12 with a doubleheader Hope Mortgage Team Night for the T.P.Trailers Modifieds and T.P.Truck Equipment Sportsman. Thanks to the folks at Hope the features will pay an extra $1,000 to win in both divisions. That has the Modified feature winner earning $3750 including the big bucks from Hope along with the T.P.Trailers weekly bonus. The Sportsman winner, thanks to Hope Mortgage Team and T.P.Truck Equipment, will earn $1,750. Each division will also have a Cash Dash, Hard Charger and Hard Luck giving racers more chances to earn more money. A great way to close out the championship chase.

The biggest and richest event of the season is set for Saturday, September 19th when the 50th Annual Freedom 76 Modified Classic is presented. Some of the area’s top dirt track Modified talents are expected to enter. And the night before the Freedom 38 is presented for Sportsman racers plus practice sessions for Modified racers taking part in the 76’er. Full details on this exciting weekend will be released in the next few days.

KRESSLEY POSTS BACK-TO-BACK MODIFIED FEATURE WINS; BELTZ SCORES SEASON FIRST SPORTSMAN WIN AND JOSKO TAKES 600 MOD WIN AFTER WINNER WHITBY WAS DISQUALFIED AT GRANDVIEW

BECHTELSVILLE, PA. AUGUST 30, 2020. . . Despite a lengthy rain delay, the racing on Saturday night at Grandview Speedway was able to be completed through the diligent work of the track crew and cooperation from the participants.

Eric Biehn came up five laps short of racking up his first 30-lap T.P. Trailers Modified NASCAR Advanced Auto Parts feature career win. Brett “The Threat” Kressley, who started 16th, chased Biehn down through the aid of lap traffic and was able to overtake him to score back to back feature victories.

The 25-lap T.P. Truck Equipment NASCAR Sportsman feature was decided in the closing stages also. Ryan Beltz, kept edging his way to the front and with two laps remaining he passed Steve Young for the lead and went on to capture his first win of the season in the event that went non-stop. Beltz became the tenth different winner of the season in the Sportsman division.

Erik Whitby led all 15 laps of the Excel 600 modified feature and crossed the line first, but was later disqualified. The win was most likely awarded to runner-up Jon Josko but as the speedway emptied Excel officials hadn’t really declared who the winner was.

Modified and Sportsman feature winners that met the necessary requirements received monetary awards from T.P. Trailers and a certificate from VP Fuels for product awards. The Dan’s Deli ½-way hoagie award recipients were Biehn and Young.

Darrin Schuler grabbed the early lead in the Modified feature from his second starting berth in the 28-car lineup to set the pace trailed by Mark Levy, Biehn, Richie Hitzler and Ryan Lilick.

The one and only caution period was brought out on the 11th lap by Jeff Strunk when he slowed his pace with a right rear flat tire. He was able to rejoin the field after a quick pit stop. On the restart Biehn shot past Schuler to become the new pacesetter. The battle for positions behind him was soon hot and heavy between Lilick, Kressley, Schuler and Hitzler.

Lap cars entered the picture around the 22nd circuit which made Biehn use caution to get around them. This situation allowed Kressley to close the distance and overtake second from Lilick on the 24th lap.

One lap later the lead changed for the third time with Kressley at the head of the pack.

Kressley never looked back once he gained control and was in the winner’s circle for the third time. Coming on strong at the end was runner-up and former point champion Mike Gular. Biehn and Lilick finished third and fourth for their best finishes with Doug Manmiller coming home in fifth. Sixth through tenth were Hitzler, Craig Von Dohren, Ryan Grim, Duane Howard and Lauden Reimert.

Ryan Grim, Hitzler, Kressley and Biehn won the heats. The consies were won by Alex Yankowski and Craig Whitmoyer.

Young, who started on the pole, took the lead on the initial start of the Sportsman feature with pressure coming from Tom Miller, Derrick Smith, Kenny Bock and Jesse Landis. Trying earnestly to get into the top five was Jesse Leiby, who was driving Nick Faust’s No. 322 rather than his own No. 9. Leiby succeeded and moved into fifth on lap nine and was on the move.

By the 19th lap Leiby was challenging Young, but in a few laps he lost several positions as he appeared to be developing problems.

Rapidly moving toward the front was Beltz and with laps remaining was second.

It didn’t take Beltz long to get by Young for the lead and Miller followed through for second on the 24th lap.

Beltz never faltered and went on to score his fourth career win trailed by Miller, Young, Smith and Bock. Rounding out the top ten were Kyle Lilick, Jesse Leiby, Jack Butler, Landis and Nate Brinker.

Heats were won by Young, Bryan Rhoads and Bock. Chuck Eckert, last week’s feature winner won the consi.

Bouc And Blewett Best In New Egypt Double Dip

EGYPT NJ - Danny Bouc and Jimmy Blewett bested the New Egypt Speedway Vahlco Wheels Modified field in the 2nd Annual Modified Double Dip on Saturday winning the Twin-20 lap main events for the division. After clouds and rain much of the day that finally cleared around 5:00 for good, the race fans in attendance saw a very competitive night of racing.

The first 20-lap main event for the Vahlco Wheels Modifieds saw Chris Grbac lead the field to the green flag. Grbac led the field down the backstretch when the battle for the lead picked up in a hurry. Wade Hendrickson shot to the outside of Grbac while Davey Sammons shot to the inside as the lead trio hit turn three. Grbac pushed up the race track ever so slightly washing him and Hendrickson up the race track allowing Sammons to scoot through on the bottom and take the lead to complete lap one bringing Opening Night winner Danny Bouc with him in tow.

Sammons and Bouc pulled away from the field and started clicking laps off at a rapid pace.

The first and only caution of the event flew on lap 10 for Chris Grbac who rolled to a stop at the exit of turn two.

On the restart Bouc used his outside line starting position to his advantage to take the lead from Sammons. Bouc would extend his lead by 1.4 seconds over the remaining 10 laps to pick up his second win of the 2020 season.

Sammons would come home second with Wade Hendrickson, Dominick Buffalino, and Mike Butler completing the top five.

“We’ve been struggling this year after that first win, it looked like it was going to be a really great year and we’ve just been behind the eight-ball every week. It’s good to get another win under our belt and give us a bit of a point lead back,” said Bouc post race.

Bouc would pull an invert of 14 for the second 20-lapper.

The second Twin-20 for the Vahlco Wheels Modifieds saw Jimmy Blewett and Dakota Kessler on the front row. Blewett would lead the first lap with invader Matt Stangle stalking the red, white and blue No. 76 through the first two circuits when the events first caution flew for Cale Ross and Steve Davis who tangled in-between turns three and four.

When green replaced yellow Blewett shot back out into the lead until a pileup occured in turn four that included the likes of Bryan Kuhl, Wade Hendrickson, PJ Oliver, John McClelland, Roger Manning, Kory Fleming and last week's winner Dominick Buffalino. All drivers involved would pull away and tag along at the back of the field.

On the ensuing restart Matt Stangle was able to shoot past Blewett in turns one and two clearing him for the lead on the backstretch and bringing David VanHorn with him into second. On lap five the caution would fly yet again. Stangle jumped right back out to the lead and appeared to have the dominant car as Blewett moved past VanHorn and back into second.

It appeared that Matt Stangle would be well on his way to his second career New Egypt Speedway Modified win when his car seemed to lose power on the exit of turn two on lap 12. Stangle would then coast around to the frontstretch drawing the caution.

Jimmy Blewett would then inherit the lead with VanHorn now in second and Frank Cozze in third. The event's final yellow flew on lap 15 when Frank Venezia and PJ Oliver got together in turns three and four setting up a five lap shootout for the win.

Blewett again shot out to the lead and would go uncontested over the final five laps to score his fourth career New Egypt Speedway Modified win over David VanHorn, Danny Bouc, Frank Cozze and Dominick Buffalino who rebounded from the early race pileup to finish fifth.

“I can’t thank the fans enough for coming out tonight, I know the weather wasn’t on our side today. Hats off to my crew chief Rob Ormsbee, in the first race the track was slicker than it was last week and we made a change where we went in one direction and we should have went in the other and in the second race it was better. We still have some work to do. I’m happy for my grandfather for giving me this car and being able to come out here each week and watch,” spoke Blewett after the event.

Danny Bouc would unofficially take over the point lead after point-leader and defending Vahlco Wheels Modified champion Billy Pauch Jr. missed the evening as he was in the hospital fighting some lower-intestine problems. We hope to see Billy back on track with is soon.

Larry’s Hot Rods & Harley’s Northeast Wingless Sprint Cars Presented By: The Meat Shoppe action saw Larry Drake lead the field to green as Drake jumped out front early. As the race neared the halfway point, Jeremy Quick crept into the picture reeling in Drake bringing Rich Mellor in to the battle for the lead as well.

At the lap 10 mark Quick made his move high and Mellor low making it three-wide for the race lead at one point. Quick would eventually clear Drake for the lead on lap 13 only to be surpassed by Mellor just four laps later for the top spot. Mellor cruised to his third win of the year followed by Quick, Drake, Brian Spencer and Heidi Hedin.

Bob Lineman utilized his pole position in the Sportsman feature leading wire-to-wire to pick up his first victory of the 2020 season and his 21st career placing him fourth on the all time win list. Jim Housworth, John Criscione, WIll Dupree and point leader David Burns completed the top five.

Neil Rutt invaded New Egypt Speedway and picked up the 4-Cylinder win over Mike Fox, Joe Garey Sr., Tim Jones and Shea Willis.

Mason Magee made a last lap, last turn pass on Paul Mancini to win the Lyons Construction/Metal Fab Rookie Sportsman main event.

New Egypt Speedway is back in action this coming Saturday night September 5th with the John Romano Memorial for the Sportsman. The 30-lap avent will pay $840 to win and $84 to start.
