PAUCH, JR. AND LAUBACH WIN 358 MODIFIED FEATURES AT NEW EGYPT SPEEDWAY
New Egypt, NJ (July 3, 2016) – On Military Heroes Twin Twenties Night at New Egypt Speedway, Billy Pauch, Jr. and Rick Laubach were the winners in the 358 Modified features. Ryan Godown topped the field in the Burlington County Overhead Door NEWS Sprint main event. Brandon Grosso scored the win in the Crate Sportsman feature.
As the first 20-lap feature for the 358 Modifieds began, Ryan Krachun jumped out to the front with Chad Barney and Chris Grbac next in line. With five circuits completed, Krachun was still in command with Barney, Mike Butler, Grbac and fourteenth place starting Billy Pauch, Jr in tow. At the halfway point, Krachun had built a comfortable lead over Barney with Pauch, Jr. in third. With only five tours remaining, Krachun was approaching lap traffic when the second caution of the contest occurred for a slowing Steve Davis on the backstretch and Grbac stopping in the fourth corner. The third yellow flag appearance of the contest occurred on the ensuing restart as two simultaneous incidents took place and involved several drivers including the second place running Barney. With Pauch, Jr. now in the runner-up spot, the green flag waved and Krachun lost two positions as Pauch, Jr. ascended to the front with Dominick Buffalino motoring into second. Pauch, Jr. was pulling from the pack when the final caution took place with only one revolution remaining. On the final restart, Buffalino tried to wrestle the lead from Pauch, Jr. but was repelled as Pauch, Jr. raced to his third victory of the season at New Egypt Speedway. Buffalino finished in second. Ryan Godown came from fifteenth to score a third place finish. Ryan Krachun crossed the finish line in fourth but was disqualified for being light at the scales. David Van Horn was awarded fourth and fifth went to John McClelland.
With an inversion of the top fourteen finishers in the first feature, polesitter Rick Laubach grabbed the lead and Mike Butler took the runner-up spot as the second 20-lap 358 Modified feature got underway. With a quarter of the contest in the books, the top two of Laubach and Butler remained in order. On lap ten, Willie Osmun worked his way by Butler to gain second just before a multicar tangle took place. Following two more caution periods and nine laps remaining, Laubach was still in charge with Danny Bouc in second and Osmun in third. As Laubach was pulling away, Bouc and Osmun were in the process of swapping second place several times with Ryan Godown and Billy Pauch, Jr. just behind them. Laubach’s comfortable edge disappeared when the final caution period occurred with only one lap left. On the final restart, Laubach maintained his advantage and collected his sixteenth career victory at New Egypt Speedway. Second place was seized by Osmun. Bouc barely nosed out Godown to finish in third. With Godown finishing fourth, Billy Pauch, Jr. took fifth. Chris Grbac, Rick Laubach and PJ Oliver won the 358 Modified heat races.
In the main event for the Burlington County Overhead Door NEWS Sprints, Ryan Godown collected his second checkered flag in the division. Brian Spencer took the lead as the 20-lap event started. Spencer held the lead until Godown took over on the eighth circuit. Godown, who has only three starts in the class, would lead the rest of the way to capture the win. Spencer wound up in second with Bobby Butler finishing in third. Rich Mellor was fourth with Wayne Weaver finishing in fifth. The Burlington County Overhead Door NEWS Sprints qualifying contests were taken by Ryan Godown and Brian Spencer.
For the second week in a row, Brandon Grosso triumphed in the 20-lap Crate Sportsman feature. Shawn Ratchford set the pace for the opening nine tours before Chuckles Stone advanced to the lead. Grosso, who started the race in fifteenth, diced his way past Stone for the top spot on the eleventh lap. Stone’s strong run resulted in a second place finish. Third place was taken by Steve Hicks. Jeremy Martino was fourth. Rookie Kyle Kania came from his twentieth place start to finish in fifth. Jeremy Martino, Adam Cox and Chuckles Stone were victorious in the heat races for the Crate Sportsman. The consolation event was captured by Connor King.

New Egypt, N.J. June 9, 2016.....Chad Boespflug was able to withstand the pressure from the two most successful drivers in "Eastern Storm" over the past two seasons, Robert Ballou and Bryan Clauson, to take his third career USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car victory during night three of "Eastern Storm" Thursday night at New Egypt (N.J.) Speedway.
On the start, pole sitter C.J. Leary slid up in front of Boespflug into turn one to take lead. Boespflug ran the top as Leary used the low line to beat Boespflug back to the line by half a car length at the conclusion of the opening lap.
After a yellow on the third lap, Boespflug stepped up the pressure on leader Leary. Coming down the front straightaway at the end of lap three, Boespflug pulled the front wheels off the ground in spectacular style as he pulled even with Leary for a dead heat at the start/finish line.
Leary was able to hold off Boespflug's pressure for only one more lap. Boespflug got the bite off of the turn two Jersey clay, running down Leary to get to the front of the pack on lap five.
One lap later, Bacon devoured Leary for the second spot and, on lap seven, Ballou bolted from the outside of turn one, cutting across the nose of Leary's machine and stealing his line away to slot into third.
After a lap eight caution, Boespflug wasted no time re-building his interval on the restart, opening up a sizable advantage as the field stormed into turn one.
On lap 12, Ballou swung low by Bacon in turn one for the second position, but still had an enormous amount of ground to overcome as he trailed Boespflug by a half-straightaway at the midway point of the 30-lap feature.
Meanwhile, Clauson had suddenly come alive as Bacon swung wide at the exit of turn two on the 16th lap, leaving the door open for Clauson to grab the third spot.
With 12 to go, leader Boespflug hit heavy, lapped traffic. That allowed Ballou to begin reeling in Boespflug as Clauson went into catch-up mode as he looked to take the upper hand while the Boespflug and Ballou navigated through the backmarkers.
With eight to go, Ballou was right within striking distance, trailing Boesplfug by just two car lengths. One slip-up by Boespflug was all the defending series champ needed to taste victory for the third time in 2016.
Ballou shot to the turn one inside guardrail for an attempted slider on Boespflug with seven laps remaining, but it was to no avail as he got stacked up by the lapped car of Kyle Moody. Boespflug, who was utilizing the middle of the racetrack was able to maintain his momentum to slip around Moody and Ballou to remain at the front.
Ballou put the gold number 1 right on the rear bumper of leader Boespflug while Clauson, in third, rapidly closed on the pair as a four-lap "trophy dash" to the finish ensued.
Ballou hounded Boespflug repeatedly, but couldn't inch his way closer to the confident Boespflug, who didn't flinch down the stretch, withstanding each and every jab Ballou threw his way to take his second USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car victory of the year over Ballou, Clauson, Bacon, Leary, Chase Stockon, Chris Windom, Max McGhee, Thomas Meseraull and Dave Darland.
Entering the 2016 season, Hanford, California's Boespflug had seen three years pass since his last USAC victory. After forming a new team in the offseason set on traveling the USAC National Sprint Car tour in its entirety, the odds were stacked against him. However, with himself, crew chief Davey Jones and car owners Chuck Eberhardt and Fred Zirzow, the team has stepped up to the plate, winning two races thus far in this young season in his NineEight Motorsports-EZR/Capitol Renegade - Capitol Custom Trailers/Maxim/Claxton.
"When we caught those lapped cars, it was really difficult with them running the bottom in front of me, but I saw Robert's nose there and knew it was go time," Chad recounted. "I was trying to minimize my mistakes. I knew Robert and Bryan were going to be right there; they were tough all week. To put an end to Bryan's run is pretty special for this team. It's a brand new racecar and a pretty fresh motor, so it's definitely working the way we wanted it to."
Defending "Eastern Storm" champion Robert Ballou of Rocklin, California came mighty close to returning to victory lane in the 2016 edition of the five-race series despite losing an engine just after taking the checkered flag, but remains optimistic after finishing second behind Boespflug in his Ballou Motorsports/Weikel Sunglasses - Sunglass Central/Maxim/Ott.
"The engine started letting go on us with about 10 to go," Ballou said. "We blew up this thing pretty bad. Don Ott will have it fixed in the morning and we'll get this thing in victory lane at Port Royal. We fell just one spot short tonight, but we got our ducks in a row. We've got everything figured out that we've had problems with. They're going be in trouble on Saturday!"
After winning first two races at Grandview and Lincoln Speedways, Noblesville, Indiana's Bryan Clauson was aiming at joining Levi Jones and Ballou as the only driver in the 10-year history of the event to win three straight "Eastern Storm" features in his Dooling-Hayward/B & H Contractors - Cancer Treatment Centers of America/Spike/Stanton Mopar. Clauson was able to manage a solid third and, in the process, extended his grasp of the "Eastern Storm" title by 24 points over Chris Windom heading into a night off on Friday before the series returns for the final two-race Pennsylvania stretch at Port Royal Speedway on Saturday and Susquehanna Speedway in York Haven on Sunday.
"We needed a 40-lapper," Clauson exclaimed. "We just got going a little too late there. We started running down those guys at the end, we just didn't have quite enough to get there in 30 laps. There at the end, we needed a yellow or something to fall our way. Tonight, it didn't happen. It's been a pretty good run here of late, so I can't complain."
Contingency award winners at New Egypt Speedway included Bryan Clauson (ProSource Fast Qualifier), Mark Smith (Simpson Race Products First Heat Race Winner), Dave Darland (Competition Suspension, Inc. (CSI) Second Heat Race Winner), Chris Windom (Benic Enterprises Third Heat Race Winner) Brady Bacon (Indy Race Parts Semi Winner), Jerry Coons, Jr. (KSE Racing Products Hard Charger) and Shane Golobic (Wilwood Brakes 13th Place Feature Finisher).
