VANHORN AND ROSS ARE THE TOP GUNSLINGERS AT NEW EGYPT SPEEDWAY'S GARDEN
STATE GUNFIGHT 2
New Egypt, NJ (June 28, 2018) - At New Egypt Speedway's Garden State
Gunfight 2, David VanHorn scored the win in the Modified feature to take the
top prize of $6,000. Cale Ross topped the field in the Crate Modifieds vs.
Open Sportsman contest.
As the green flag waved in the 60-lap Modified feature, Frank Cozze fired to
the front of the field with Duane Howard, Matt Stangle, Kevin Vaclavicek and
Jim Britt next in line. With four laps completed and after a few cautions,
Cozze was still setting the pace with David VanHorn in second, Danny Bouc in
third and Howard slipping back to fourth. On the sixth circuit, a multi-car
tangle in the fourth turn caused the racing action to stop. On the ensuing
restart, VanHorn shot his way past Cozze and into the lead with Bouc,
Howard, and seventeenth place starting Ryan Krachun in tow. VanHorn quickly
began to speed away from his foes. By the fifteenth circuit, VanHorn had a
very comfortable advantage and was approaching the back of the field. Four
tours later, VanHorn's large lead evaporated as John McClelland's ride
slowed on the track and stopped in turn one. When racing resumed, VanHorn
repelled Cozze's attempt to regain the top running spot with Howard zipping
by Bouc for third and Ryan Godown passing Krachun for fifth. Once again,
VanHorn began to distance himself from the field. When the caution waved for
the fuel stop at the halfway point, VanHorn's edge was a full straightaway
over Cozze. As the green flag waved following the mid-race stop for
refueling, VanHorn outdueled Cozze to keep his lead with Bouc retaking third
place from Howard. With twenty laps left in the feature, VanHorn had built a
comfortable advantage over the pack. His lead continued to increase as he
was beginning to approach lap traffic in the final ten circuits. On lap
fifty-six, fifth place running Ryan Godown slowed down and the yellow lights
illuminated for the final time. On the single file restart, VanHorn held off
Cozze. Over the final revolutions, VanHorn was not challenged and crossed
the finish line to claim his first win of the year and the sixth in his
career at New Egypt Speedway. Cozze's strong run netted him second place.
Bouc finished in third with Howard claiming fourth. Thirteenth place
starting Brandon Grosso completed the race in fifth. Mike Mahaney, Matt
Stangle and John McClelland were victorious in the Modified heat races. The
consolation contest was taken by Brian Papiez.
In the 30-lap Crate Modified vs. Open Sportsman feature, Cale Ross led from
start to finish to claim his second career checkered flag. Billy Osmun, who
started in seventh, chased Ross throughout the event and finished in second
place. Louden Reimert was rewarded with third place following an impressive
effort. Fourth went to Joe Toth and Pat Wall came home in fifth. The winners
in the qualifying events were Shaun Ratchford, Louden Reimert and Bill
Liedtka. Will Dupree won the consolation race.
New Egypt Speedway rolls back into action on Saturday, June 30 with
Throwback Night. Adult admission to the grandstand on this special night

RECENT HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE MOHR WINS SUMMER SPLASH 40 SPORTSMAN RACE WHILE STRUNK AND KYLE MERKEL ALSO VISIT VICTORY LANE AT GRANDVIEW SATURDAY NIGHT
BECHTELSVILLE, PA. June 24, 2018 . . . Nathan Mohr, a recent graduate of Upper Perkiomen High School, lost the lead twice during the running of the Summer Splash 40-lap NASCAR Sportsman feature on Saturday night at Grandview Speedway, but through the aid of restarts he jumped back into first. Mohr then proceeded to hold off the hard charges of Gary Wagner until the challenger was sidelined by tire issues, and then with two laps to go Mike Lisowski was on his bumper. Not knowing how really close challenger Lisowski actually was, he held his pace and went on to pull the Mohr-family owned No. 17M into victory lane for his first career win and it was worth $1,500.
The T.P Trailers 30-lap NASCAR Modified feature had its second repeat winner when Jeff Strunk, who recently won on June 9, survived a one-lap shoot out and was able to keep Mike Gular, who is currently at the top of the point race, behind to go on to record his 69th Saturday night career triumph. Gular also chased Strunk across the line during Strunk’s previous win.
Kyle Merkel, who returned to Late Model action a few years ago after being on other racing ventures, led the 25-lap NASCAR Late Model feature from start to finish to park the Dave “Crazy” Yost owned No. 26 mount in the winner’s circle. Merkel had been shut out of the win column since April 20, 2013.
All feature winners received monetary awards from T.P. Trailers and merchandise awards from VP Fuels providing they met the necessary requirements. The Dan’s Deli ½-way hoagie recipients were Jack Butler, Sportsman; Bobby Gunther-Walsh, Modified and Merkel, Late Model.
The Saturday night NASCAR events were all part of the Safety Net Animal Sanctuary Fundraiser.
Mohr, starting from the pole position in the Sportsman event, wasted no time keeping Derrick Smith, Andrew Kreis, Kurt Bettler and Mark Kemmerer behind him at the drop of the green by starter Ray Kemp.
By the sixth lap Butler was chasing Mohr down from the runner-up spot.
Butler reeled Mohr in on the eighth lap and took to the outside path coming off the fourth turn and advanced into first.
Behind Butler, who was hoping to pick up his first career win as a birthday present, the battle for second d was a heated one between Mohr and Wagner while Smith, Kreis and Dylan Swinehart vied for the remaining top five spots.
Debris in the fourth turn, plus the stopped car of Ryan Beltz between the first and second turn brought the pack bumper-to-bumper with the first caution on last 18. Butler continued to show the way while Mohr, Wagner, Brian Hirthler and Swinehart continued their paint swapping battles.
Jesse Landis stopped in the fourth turn for the 21st lap yellow. This time Mohr outgunned Butler to regain first and it held with Wagner following through for second with Butler falling to third.
The lead changed again when Wagner moved to the front of the pack on the 24th lap.
Butler’s valiant efforts went up in a puff of smoke when a blown engine ended his night and the final yellow with 26 laps completed.
This time the restart was better than previously and Mohr was back in first.
Despite all the challenges Mohr held his composure and didn’t faltered to go on to claim a hard-fought triumph. Chasing him across the line were Lisowski, Swinehart, Hirthler and Craig Whitmoyer.
Louden Reimert, Mohr and Bettler were the heat winners.
Polesitter Mark Kratz took the early lead in the Modified feature and within no time had a commanding lead built up over Bobby Gunther-Walsh, Chris Esposito, Briggs Danner and Bobby Trapper Jr.
Brett Gilmore slowed along the homestretch to bring out the eighth lap caution. On this restart Gunther-Walsh overtook Kratz to become the new leader.
The ½-way point, the order behind Gunther-Walsh consisted of Esposito, Kratz, Strunk, who started 15th and Danner.
Strunk moved into second on the 19th lap and set sail after Gunther-Walsh who had to deal with lap traffic along with the others.
It didn’t take long for Strunk to erase the margin and by the 22nd lap he was the third different leader.
Coming on strong behind Strunk were Gunther-Walsh, Gular, Umbenhauer and Esposito. Esposito’s night ended when he pulled into the infield with three laps to go.
Umbenhauer, who was running a solid fourth, slowed in the third turn to set-up a one-lap shoot out to the finish that involved Strunk, Gular, Craig Von Dohren, Frank Cozze and Duane Howard, who came through from 28th. Strunk quickly punched the accelerator as he knew his fellow competitors wanted to be in victory lane also.
Strunk kept everyone behind to score the win with Gular, Von Dohren, Cozze and Howard in tow. Walsh, a fan favorite, held on to have his best night of the season finishing sixth.
Heats were won by Kratz, Gunther-Walsh and Clay Butler. Justin Grim won the consi.
Merkel started in the top slot in the 25-lap NASCAR Late Model feature and was off and running at the onset trailed by Steve Todorow, Lou Egrie, Chuck Schutz and Danny Snyder, the current point leader. Trying to into the top five was Drew Weisser and he accomplished that fete on the fifth circuit when he moved into fifth.
A flat tire with two laps to go ended Todorow’s night when he stopped in turn three out of contention. Now Schutz, the defending pint champion, was behind Merkel on the restart but Merkel managed to stay ahead.
No one was able to overtake Merkel and he went on to claim a well-deserved win. Finishing second was Schutz followed by Egrie, Snyder and Weisser.
Sprint car racing will be part of the big four division show of racing presented by Bechtelsville Car Wash on Saturday, June 30th at NASCAR sanctioned Grandview Speedway. The Mid-Atlantic Sprint Series (MASS) 305 Sprinters will be making their first appearance of the season on the one-third-mile, banked clay oval with racing action getting the green flag at 7:30 p.m.
