BOUC CAPTURES HIS SECOND 358 MODIFIED FEATURE WIN OF THE YEAR WHILE GODOWN TAKES THE CHAMPIONSHIP AT NEW EGYPT SPEEDWAY
New Egypt, NJ (September 4, 2016) – On First Responders Night presented by Flemington Car and Truck Country at New Egypt Speedway, Danny Bouc captured the 358 Modified feature with Ryan Godown taking the 2016 championship. Bob Lineman, Jr. took top honors in the Sportsman feature. The TSRS Sprint Car main event was won by Mark Bitner.
After the original start of the 30-lap 358 Modified feature was called off due to a tangle involving Lou Cicconi and Bryan Kuhl, Tad Cox blasted to the front of the pack with DJ Ruppert, Danny Bouc and Dominick Buffalino in pursuit. On the third circuit, Bouc motored past Ruppert to gain the runner-up position. With six laps completed, Cox was beginning to distance himself from the pack with Bouc, Buffalino, Billy Pauch, Sr. and Ruppert next in line. By the tenth tour, Bouc was starting to cut into Cox’s advantage. As the race reached the halfway point, Bouc was on Cox’s bumper and applying pressure for the lead. On lap sixteen, Bouc scooted by Cox for the lead with Buffalino, Pauch, Sr. and Billy Pauch, Jr. in tow. On the next tour, the younger Pauch worked his way past his father to take over fourth place. Back at the front, Cox and Buffalino were edging closer to Bouc. With ten laps to go, Bouc was still in command with Buffalino slipping by Cox for second place. Cox fell back two more spots as Pauch, Jr. moved into third on the twenty-second circuit and Pauch, Sr. advanced into fourth on the following lap. As Bouc was trying to get a little breathing room, Buffalino was feeling the heat from Pauch, Jr. in the battle for second place. On the twenty-fourth revolution, Ryan Godown, who had started the race in nineteenth place, was continuing his drive to the top five as he drove past Ruppert to gain sixth place. With only five laps remaining, Pauch, Jr. blasted by Buffalino to take possession of second place. Just after losing the runner-up spot, the third place running Buffalino spun in turn four to bring out the second and final yellow flag of the contest. On the single file restart, Bouc held off Pauch, Jr to remain on top with Godown, who had inherited fifth during the caution period, working his way by Cox for fourth place. Bouc paced the field over the remaining laps to take his second checkered flag of the year. Pauch, Jr. claimed the runner up position with the elder Pauch completing the contest in third. By finishing in fourth place, Godown was able to capture his fourth New Egypt Speedway championship by one point over Pauch, Jr. Cox’s strong run resulted in a fifth place finish. Tad Cox and Dominick Buffalino won the 358 Modified qualifying races.
For the second time in 2016, Bob Lineman, Jr. visited victory lane after he won the 20-lap Sportsman feature. Dakota Kessler led the opening circuit before Marty Resnick passed him for the lead. On the ninth circuit, JT Trstensky assumed the top running position. With five laps remaining, Lineman, Jr. bolted by Trstensky for the lead and controlled the contest for the rest of the distance. Twelfth place starting Art Liedl finished in second place. Trstensky, Resnick and Bill Liedtka completed the top five finishers. The Sportsman heat race winners were Bob Lineman, Jr. and Derek Krum.
Mark Bitner led from start to finish to capture the checkered flag in the 20-lap main event for the TSRS Sprint Car feature. The victory was Bitner’s third TSRS win at New Egypt Speedway in 2016. The runner-up spot was taken by Joe Lord. Mike Haggenbottom was third. Fourth went to Chris Allen, Jr. with ninth place starting Tim Tanner finishing in fifth. Ryan Stillwaggon and Mike Haggenbottom were victorious in the TSRS Sprint Car qualifying events.

STIEF CAPTURES FIRST CAREER SPRINT CAR VICTORY IN BRIDGEPORT TSRS EVENT

** Special Thanks to Deb Smith for covering our TSRS event at Bridgeport Speedway on Saturday, August 27, 2016.
Rick Stief has turned many laps at the Bridgeport Speedway. Before moving up to sprint car competition, Stief was a regular in Micro Sprint competition at the Logan Township speedway.
But all of that experience came on Bridgeport's quarter mile track - not on the fast 5/8th mile speedway.
Rick Stief (WoS photo)
On Saturday night, Stief conquered the high speed Bridgeport clay to claim his first ever win in a sprint car and his first win in the Hilborn Tri State Race Saver (TSRS) competition.
Stief became the seventh different winner in Saturday night TSRS competition at Bridgeport - adding his name to the list of Kevin Nagy, Eddie Wagner, Christopher Allen, Jr., Ryan Stillwaggon, Jeff Geiges and Dave Brown. Current TSRS point leader, Mike Haggenbottom has captured both TSRS wins held in Friday night Bridgeport action.
Stief's win also came during the final hand of the Tanner Brothers Dairy Store/Thayer Performance 2016 Poker Series, giving the first time winner an Ace for his efforts. But it was a hand of three Kings that would take this year's Poker Series Championship and that hand belonged to Haggenbottom by virtue of his three second place finishes.
Stief was fast out of the box on Saturday night, racing to a second place finish to Geiges in his qualifying heat.
Heat winners, Geiges and Haggenbottom, started side by side on the front row, leading the starting line-up to the green flag. Geiges jumped out in front at the start with Haggenbottom running in second.
The caution waved on lap two as Samantha Lieberman made hard contact with the turn four wall, ending her night after just one complete lap. Geiges led the way when the green flag waved again with Haggenbottom, Stief, Tim Tanner and Eddie Wagner trailing. Geiges would go on to turn the fastest lap of the feature on lap two as he raced around the track in 19.4 seconds for an average speed of 115.9 miles per hour.
Stief was closing quickly and took over second on lap three. Geiges led Stief, Haggenbottom, Tanner and Christopher Allen, Jr. with five complete.
The caution was needed again on lap eight when Doug Snow spun in turn two, erasing the advantage that Geiges held over the fast closing challenger. Tanner had his hands full on the restart as Allen and Wagner challenged. Just before half way, Stief made his bid for the lead and led the field to the crossed flags with ten laps remaining. Geiges raced in second followed by Haggenbottom, Allen and Tanner.
Haggenbottom was closing the gap on Geiges with about five laps to go as Wagner made his way by Tanner to take over fifth. With Stief well out in front, Allen and Wagner raced toward Haggenbottom with three laps to go. Allen raced to the inside of Haggenbottom in turn three to take over third one lap later. Both Wagner and Mark Bitner advanced by the point leader with just one lap to go as Haggenbottom ran into mechanical difficulties.
Stief drove to the checkered flag over Gieges, Allen, Wagner and Bitner. Tanner finished sixth with Haggenbottom limping across the line in seventh. Mrs. and Mr. Carberry came next with Stef finishing eighth and Tommy taking ninth ahead of tenth place finisher, Kyle Purks.
Steif was elated - making his first trip to Victory Lane since the 2011 season. "This is awesome," the feature winner exclaimed. "We've been really fast but we've had a lot of bad luck. Lord knows I can't draw a good pill!" Steif went on to thank sponsors Church's Auto Parts, Bruce's Auto Body, SEK Telecom, All Seasons Glass Tinting and K&G Seal Coating for their support.
TSRS returns to the Bridgeport Speedway on Friday, September 23rd for a doubleheader along with the Small Block Modifieds.

THUNDER ON THE HILL RACING SERIES
DALE BLANEY FINDS $5,000 PAYOFF AND FIRST CAREER THUNDER ON THE HILL VICTORY THURSDAY NIGHT AT GRANDVIEW
BECHTELSVILLE, PA (August 18, 2016) – Hartford, OH’s Dale Blaney claimed his first Grandview Speedway win when Tony Stewart’s Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions 410 Sprint Car Series returned to the Grandview Speedway for the first time in sixteen years this past Thursday night for the NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series. This event was presented by Pioneer Pole Buildings and represented the 123rd Thunder Series event since it started in 1990.
Blaney netted himself a cool $5,000 for his efforts in a thrilling 35 lap A-Main that included plenty of side-by-side racing action.
Dale Blaney (WoS photo)
Lucas Wolfe, aboard the Zemco No. 1z car, bolted from the front row starting position with the pair of black-and-orange No. 1 machines of Dale Blaney and Sammy Swindell following close behind. Wolfe set a rapid pace from the get go – so rapid that the leaders hit lapped traffic at their fifth circuit around the one-third-mile track.
Blaney powered outside Wolfe as the two split lapped cars and swapped the lead just inching passed each other as the laps seven and eight clicked away. Blaney overtook the top spot on the 10th lap.
The first caution of the evening flew on the 11th circuit when Stevie Smith – running in the third position – clipped the lapped car of Kenny Jacobs sending both machines spinning. Smith was able to recover unscathed and unstopped, continuing after doing a complete 360-degree spin with the rest of the field dodging him.
Blaney charged away on the restart followed by Wolfe, Smith, and Swindell.
The action slowed for the second time on the 15th lap for Freddie Rahmer, with a right-rear flat tire while running within the top 10.
On the restart, Blaney raced away as Stevie Smith shot outside Wolfe claiming the second spot.
The red flag flew on lap 17 after the cars of Greg Hodnett, Danny Dietrich, and Kraig Kinser – all running just outside the top five – made contact on the front stretch sending all three machines upside-down. The drivers walked away unscathed.
Blaney dominated the restart with Smith right on his tail. Smith, the 2016 Thunder Cup Champion, took the lead on the 23rd lap, with Blaney claiming the top spot on the next go-around.
The two leaders hit lapped traffic with three laps remaining closing the battle for the top position and allowing a four-car battle for the victory with Stevie Smith, Sammy Swindell, and Ryan Smith all challenging for the $5,000 winner’s share.
Blaney would go on to claim the victory, Swindell moved inside Smith for the second position, The Leffler Energy No. 51s machine of Stevie Smith finished in third, followed by Ryan Smith in the Warko Group No.94 and Sheldon Haudenschild in the fifth position.
This marks Blaney’s seventh All Star Circuit of Champions win of the season, and his first Thunder on the Hill victory.
Blaney also claimed the $100 Quick Time Award. Heat Races were won by Lucas Wolfe, Ryan Smith and Sheldon Haudenschild. Wolfe grabbed the top spot in the Dash, and Tim Shaffer won the B-Main.
John Barnett (WoS photo)
John Barnett claimed his first TSRS victory after starting on the front row of the 25-lap feature event. A multi-car incident brought out the red on the initial start retiring four cars – including that of current TSRS point leader, Mike Haggenbottom. Barnett took over on the restart holding off a hard charging Dave Brown and leading all of the 25-laps. Brown – who has won the past three TSRS feature events at Grandview – settled for second place, but certainly didn’t make it easy for Barnett. Tim Tanner Jr. came home in the third position, Tommy Carberry in fourth and Jon Haegele in the fifth spot.
The NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Racing Series returns to Grandview Speedway on Saturday, October 15 for the 2nd Annual Mods at the Madhouse event featuring the Big-Block and Small-Block Modifieds, Sportsman and TSRS Sprint Cars.

NAPA AUTO PARTS & PIONEER POLE BUILDINGS PRESENT ALL STAR INVASION THURSDAY NIGHT AT GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY. . . . .
KEMENAH, BLANEY, HAUDENSCHILD LEAD ALL STAR ASSAULT; HODNETT, DIETRICH, AND SMITH DEFEND HOME TURF
BECHTELSVILLE, PA (AUGUST 17, 2016) – Excitement builds as Tony Stewart’s Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions prepare to descend upon the third-mile bullring of Grandview Speedway in Bechtelsville, PA. NAPA Auto Parts Thunder on the Hill Racing Series brings the All Stars to the Berks County dirt track this Thursday, August 18, as the nationally touring 410 Sprint Car racing series battles the Pennsylvania Posse, with a $5,000 payday on the line.

A quick time bonus of $100 will be awarded to the fastest competitor in Time Trials. 358/360 Sprint Car drivers are eligible to participate with $200 going to the highest finisher and $100 going to the second highest finisher.

While the All Stars bring an elite group of drivers from the mid-west, a battalion of Central Pennsylvania’s top stars are prepared to defend their home turf – and when the greatest Sprint Car drivers in the world do battle it is sure to be unpredictable.

The winged action doesn’t stop there as competitors from New Jersey and Pennsylvania’s 305 Sprint Car division – namely the Tri-State Racesaver Series – also take to Grandview Speedway. A fan-favorite among area race fans the TSRS Sprint Cars always put on a thrilling event on the third-mile. While many would pick 4-time Series Champion Mike Haggenbottom as a favorite heading into the 25-lap main event, it’s Aston, PA’s Dave Brown who has claimed the past three Grandview TSRS victories
Previous All Star winners at Grandview include Cris Eash (2000), Jeff Sheppard (1999), Fred Rahmer (1999), Billy Pauch (May 1998, August 1998), Donnie Kreitz (1997, 1986), Jimmy Horton (1982), and Steve Smith Sr. (1982).
The 410 Sprint Car competitors chase a $5,000 winner’s share for 35 laps of action on the famed 1/3 mile Grandview Speedway. The tenth position pays $1,000 with $500 to start the A-Main. A $100 Quick Time bonus is up for grabs, along with a $200 bonus to the first 360/358 Sprint Car and a $100 bonus to the second 360/358 Sprint Car.

Brown Captures Regional Hilborn Tri State Race Saver Sprint Event at Bridgeport
Posted by: | Comments- Tri-State Racesaver Series

Sweedsboro, NJ August 13, 2016 - Dave Brown took the lead at the wave of the green flag and never looked back as he drove away from the competition to pick up a flag to flag win in the fifth hand of the Tanner Dairy Store/Thayer Performance 2016 Poker Series to pick up his first ace of the season. It was also a regional event for the Tri State Race Saver Sprints (TSRS) - a confidence builder for Brown who plans to travel to Nebraska in September for the national event. It was Brown's third win of 2016.
Brown had nothing but praise for his crew and sponsors. "If it wasn't for these guys," Brown indicated, "we wouldn't be able to run as competitively as we do!" Brown had high praise for his two man crew, made up of his dad and Damien and sponsors Ennis Oil, Fuels & Burner Service and D Capps Carpentry.
"We changed gears twice tonight," Brown explained. "The track was so heavy when we went out for warm-ups. It was kind of crazy - we ran our heats first and our feature last," Brown explained. "The track was completely different. I just watched the track."
Brown became the seventh different winner in Bridgeport TSRS competition and the fifth different winner in the Tanner Dairy Store/Thayer Performance Poker Series.
Mike Haggenbottom started outside Brown and finished second. After five hands in the 2016 Poker Series, Haggenbottom leads the way with three Kings. Haggenbottom has two Bridgeport wins this season - both Friday night races - but he has finished second on three different occasions in Saturday night events.
Haggenbottom was able to narrow the margin between first and second but Brown ran to the checkered unchallenged.
Eddie Wagner finished third after winning the first hand of the 2016 Poker Series. After all of the discussion throughout the day about the heat and humidity and the effect it would have on the drivers, Wagner claimed that when he's in the race car, he didn't even notice the heat. "I was actually hotter at six o'clock when I was grooving tires than I was in the race car," Wagner explained. "You don't even notice it while you're racing."
Tim Tanner was the fourth place finisher with the Tanner Dairy Store No. 18. In addition to competing with TSRS, Tanner brought his 360 sprint car along and took some hot laps in preparation for Tuesday night's Three for All event on the 5/8 mile track.
After running just outside the top five for most of the race, Joe Kay found himself behind the grandstand for the first time this season, picking up the fifth position in the final laps when Logan Diehl ran into mechanical difficulty.
Rick Stief, Brendon Poff, Diehl, Samantha Lieberman and Zach Burd rounded out the top ten.
The drivers of the Hilborn Tri State Race Saver Sprint Cars paid tribute to Bryan Clauson and Jim Campbell as they made their way around the 5/8 mile Bridgeport Speedway for the wave lap of their twenty lap main event on Saturday night. The "Missing Man" formation was used to honor both drivers. It was a day short of the one year anniversary of Campbell's fatal accident. Many of the cars carried bright green ribbons in honor of Clauson.

About the Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions:
All Star Enterprises, LLC, wholly owned by Tony Stewart, d/b/a the All Star Circuit of Champions, is a winged sprint car series. The All-Star Circuit of Champions Sprint Car Series is one of the oldest traveling 410 sprint car organizations and is a staple of grassroots, open-wheel racing. Formed in 1970 by Bud Miller, the series has largely been considered the first 'outlaw' Sprint Car organization of the modern era. After a 10 year stint as owner of the All Stars, Miller passed control of the series to Bert Emick in 1980; a reign that would continue through 2002. Guy Webb then purchased the series from Emick in the summer of 2002 and served as the series President for the next 12 years. Motorsports entrepreneur Tony Stewart agreed to terms with Guy Webb to become the sole owner of the original winged sprint car tour in January of 2015.
