'Super Matt' Sheppard speeds to victory at New Egypt Speedway
Sheppard's win over Laubach, Pauch launches him to Super DIRTcar Series point lead
NEW EGYPT, N.J. - June 18, 2014 - Fending off challenges until the very last lap, "Super Matt" Sheppard raced to victory Tuesday, June 17, at New Egypt Speedway's Super DIRTcar Big-Block Modified Series Pioneer Pole Buildings, Inc. 'Dirty Jersey 60.'
"It was an unbelievable race," the three-time Super DIRTcar Series Champion said after the action-packed 60-lapper. "Great race track, wide race track, start to finish. There are a few guys that I think could have won that race. Lucky enough, we were able to get to the front and hold on till the end."
Sheppard, who made the haul from Waterloo, N.Y., started in fifth while Heinke-Baldwin Racing teammate Jimmy Phelps, of Baldwinsville, N.Y., took the initial lead over Tim McCreadie and eight-time series champion Brett Hearn.
However, Sheppard's FX Caprara Car Co. / Troyer Race Cars No. 9h was quickly gaining momentum from the green. By lap 4, Sheppard was challenging for second against Phelps, who lost a position when McCreadie grabbed the lead in lap 2.
Sheppard claimed second as the No. 4* of leader McCreadie was pulling away from the rest of the field. As McCreadie started lapping cars in lap 8, Sheppard gained ground and tenaciously chased McCreadie through lapped traffic.
In lap 21, the No. 27J of Danny Johnson spun in front of the flagstand, coming to a stop in turn 1, to bring out the race's first caution. Sheppard was strong on the restart, racing side-by-side with McCreadie before falling behind after a lap. Johnson returned tot he pits in lap 24.
Hometown hero Billy Pauch, of Frenchtown, N.J., was also strong on the restart, charging past Phelps from fourth to third place. He passed sheheppard on the outside in lap 26 and claimed the lead from McCreadie in lap 29.
Behind Pauch, the battle for second place was fierce, with Rick Laubach joining the fray in lap 34 for a three-wide challenge. Sheppard came out ahead, taking second from McCreadie and setting his sights on Pauch in first.
However, Pauch's racecar was fast, seeming poised to stay in the lead through the checkered flag. Every fan in the crowded New Egypt Speedway grandstands simultaneously gasped with shock as Pauch's No. 1 broke town in the frontstretch in lap 46. A drive shaft issue took the No. 1 to the pits and left Sheppard's No. 9h in the lead.
Laubach was fast on this restart, wheeling around McCreadie and charging toward the leader. Another yellow flag in lap 56 slowed the momentum with just four laps to go. Laubach lept into action in the final laps, nosing under the No. 9h in turn 2 of the last lap, but unable to make the pass before the checkered flag.
"I was leaving that bottom wide open and he was good enough to get there, but I could get a good run off th top of (turn) 2," said Sheppard. "I could get a good run off the backstretch and clear him into (turn) 3, and that's what we needed."
Laubach, who took home the trophy from last year's inaugural 'Dirty Jersey 60,' was pleased with a strong second-place finish after an exciting race.
"That was a good race. I would have liked to have been watching that one," Laubach said after the race. "Everyone was running on all they had. It was just good track position, we could move around low, high. When Matt started to see me run the top and I realized he was going to block that from me, then I had to change and do something. I just figured out another groove and it was working, it just needed time. The yellow with four to go took away probably two laps. If I would have had that four in a row continuous, I think I would have had it then."
After starting fourth and leading early in the race, McCreadie finished in third. Hearn started second and finished fourth. Billy Decker, of Sidney, N.Y., charged from his tenth place starting position to finish fifth. Rounding out the top ten are Larry Wight in sixth, Phelps in seventh, Billy Dunn in eighth, Anthony Perriego in ninth and event co-promotor Stewart Friesen in tenth.
Sheppard's victory in Tuesday's 'Dirty Jersey 60' marks his first points win of the 2014 season, launching him past defending champion Hearn in the point standings to the lead with 190.
The Super DIRTcar Series heads to Central New York for the fourth points race of the season Wednesday, June 25, at Utica-Rome Speedway in Vernon, N.Y. For more information about the Super DIRTcar Series, including a schedule of upcoming races, visit www.superdirtcarseries.com.

USAC EASTERN STORM NEW EGYPT SPEEDWAY
BRYAN CLAUSON WINS THRILLER OVER CJ LEARY AS THE USAC EASTERN STORM INVADES NEW EGYPT SPEEDWAY THURSDAY NIGHT
Bryan Clauson of Noblesville, IN caught early race leader CJ Leary with just two laps to go and went on to win the 30 lap AMSOIL USAC Eastern Storm feature at the New Egypt Speedway Thursday night. The victory was worth $6,000. CJ Leary, looking for his first ever USAC win led twenty-eight laps of the thirty lap feature. Clauson and Leary swapped the lead twice on lap twenty-nine and on the final lap, Leary and Clauson were side-by-side down the backstretch. Clauson brought the crowd to their feet with his run off of turn four on his way to the checker flag. Clauson won the thriller over CJ Leary. In the twenty-five lap ARDC feature, the race was equally exciting with Steve Buckwalter earning the win over Alex Bright. Buckwalter led the race from the outset, then with five laps to go, Alex Bright took the top spot. Buckwalter regained the lead and went on to the win.
USAC heat race winners were Dalton Gabbard, Mark Smith and Chris Windom as Jon Stanbrough won the semi.
In the thirty-lap USAC sprint feature, CJ Leary took immediate command of the lead with Dave Darland in the chase. By lap four, Bryan Clauson was in second followed by Leary with Darland in fourth. Leary was impressive as he ran to hide from the rest of the field. Brady Bacon was now on a strong run advancing to fourth by lap seven. At the front of the pack, Leary was far ahead and out of sight of runner-up Bryan Clauson.
At the halfway point of the race, CJ Leary was far ahead with no signs of Clauson closing. Dave Darland followed in third with Brady Bacon fourth and Chase Stockon fifth. Brady Bacon was now challenging Darland for third and made the pass on lap eighteen.
The caution flag was displayed on lap nineteen when Jon Stanbrough stopped entering turn one. On the restart, a three car tangle took place in turn four, delaying the race for the final time.
On the restart, Leary was in good company with Clauson and Bacon now challenging. Leary had a six car length lead over Clauson but suddenly, Clauson found a fast lane on the inside of the backstretch. With two laps to go, Clauson, racing on the bottom of the track was now challenging Leary for the win. Leary and Clauson exchanged the lead twice on lap twenty-nine. With the white flag waiving, Leary was back in the lead. Off of turn two, Leary opened the door for Clauson on the bottom and entering turn three, Clauson took the lead. Off of turn four, Leary and Clauson were side-by-side with Clauson edging out Leary for the win at the checker flag. Leary finished second followed by Brady Bacon, Dave Darland and Chase Stockon.
ARDC heat race winners were Steven Drevecki, Tim Buckwalter and Trevor Kobylarz. In the twenty-five lap feature, Steve Buckwalter was the winner but not without a challenge. Buckwalter was the early race leader with Tim Buckwalter in contention. On his way to the front was Alex Bright, racing in fourth on lap four. Bright moved into second on lap six.
Buckwalter had a commanding lead as it was up to Bright to reel him in. At the halfway point, Steve Buckwalter continued to set the pace followed by Alex Bright, Tim Buckwalter, Branden Bright and Trevor Kobylarz. By lap eighteen, Alex Bright was on the leader and the battle was about to start. On lap twenty Bright took the lead but Bruckwalter continued to fight back regaining the lead. The one and only yellow flag of the race was displayed on lap twenty for Tony DiMattia who stopped on the homestretch. At the same time, third place runner Tim Buckwalter retired to the pits.
When green flag racing resumed, Steve Buckwalter held the lead as Branden Bright now moved into second. Alex Bright returned to the runner-up stop and tried to catch the leader but he ran out of time. Steve Buckwalter took the win over Alex Bright, Brenden Bright, Bruce Buckwalter Jr. and Trevor Kobylarz.
The one lap track record for the USAC non-wing sprints was broken twice early in time trials by Bryan Clauson but eventually, it was Brady Bacon of Broken Arrow, OK who set the new one lap mark with a time of 15.655.
USAC 30 LAP FEATURE FINISH: $6,000 Bryan Clauson, CJ Leary, Brady Bacon, Dave Darland, Chase Stockon, Tracy Hines, Justin Grant, Landon Simon, Hunter Schuerenberg, Daron Clayton, Travor Kobylarz, Kevin Thomas, Jarett Andretti, Mark Smith, Robert Ballou, Chad Boespflug, Mark Bitner, Joey Biasi, Chris Windom, Jon Stanbrough, Dalton Gabbard, Shane Chockrum.

News from the Pioneer Pole Buildings Inc. ‘Dirty Jersey 2’

For Immediate Release/May 27, 2014
Alex Friesen Remembered & Honored At Pioneer Pole Buildings Inc. ‘Dirty Jersey 2’ Tuesday, June 17 At New Egypt Speedway; Each Super DIRTcar Series Modified Heat Pays $68 To Final Qualifier; Touch Of Green Landscaping Posts $268 Hard Charger Award
NEW EGYPT, NJ – One of the sport’s most innovative minds who was lost far too early will be remembered at New Egypt Speedway during the Pioneer Pole Buildings Inc. ‘Dirty Jersey 2’ special.
Alex Friesen, the uncle of ‘Dirty Jersey’ co-promoter Stewart Friesen and the promotional mastermind who unfortunately passed away in 1996, is gone but not forgotten. Special incentives in Alex Friesen’s honor are set for the Tuesday, June 17 Friesen-Deyo Promotions event at the Garden State facility featuring Super DIRTcar Series big-block Modifieds and new for the 2014 edition, 360 Sprint Cars.
In each of the Super DIRTcar Series big-block Modified heat races, the driver earning the final qualifying spot will take home $68 cash. The cash bonuses have been posted by “friends of Alex” in recognition of his signature number, 68, when he raced.
In the 60-lap Super DIRTcar Series big-block Modified main event, Touch of Green Landscaping of Boyertown, Pa., will reward the Hard Charger Award recipient with a cash bonus of $268, also in Alex Friesen’s memory. Touch of Green owner Matt Reidenauer holds fond memories of the late Alex Friesen.
“He (Alex) was a great guy who really loved people,” Reidenauer said. “That’s what made him so successful in the sport as a promoter. I had a lot of fun with him. I remember him being at our house when he had a race at Grandview (Pa.) with Jeff Strunk. Three of us flew up to Alex’s place for a weekend one time. That is something I will never forget.”
In addition to the Hard Charger cash award, the recipient will also take home a complete set of bumpers and rubrails courtesy of Jimmy Wismer’s WizFab located in Upper Black Eddy, Pa.
The ‘Dirty Jersey’ is the second promotional attempt by Modified and Sprint Car driving star Stewart Friesen in conjunction with special events promoter Brett Deyo. The event debuted successfully at New Egypt in June 2013.
The ‘Dirty Jersey’ event, which carries a rain date of Wednesday, June 18, marks the only appearances of the ’14 season by the Super DIRTcar Series big-blocks and 360 Sprint Cars at New Egypt.
Competitors in both divisions will race for lucrative purse structures at the ‘Dirty Jersey’ event. Some $42,180 will be distributed to racers prior to any bonuses or cash incentives.
The 60-lap Super DIRTcar Series big-block Modified event will pay $6,000 to the winner from a healthy total payout of $29,405. The green money for the Modifieds has been increased from a year ago to $400. This is a boost of $100 from the inaugural event and the standard Super DIRTcar Series purse.
The ‘Dirty Jersey’ is slated to be the second event on a busy Super DIRTcar Series calendar in ’14. The opener takes place Wednesday, May 28 at Brockville (Ont.) Speedway.
360 Sprint Cars will compete in a 25-lap main event - the ‘Turnpike 25’ - offering $3,000 to the winner. Tenth-place pays $400 with $250 reserved to start the main.
“This is going to be a ‘must-see’ show of the summer,” Stewart Friesen said. “Our Super DIRTcar Series field last year was awesome. There was a mix of cars and talent racing together that night you only saw once all year, at that race. Add in the Sprint Cars, and you won’t want to miss this show.”
Friesen-Deyo Promotions will again lease New Egypt – a racy D-shaped 7/16ths-mile clay oval – from facility owner Fred Vahlsing for the midweek special.
Despite heavy rains a year ago that postponed the program 24 hours, a potent field of 45 big-block Modifieds filled the track’s pit area representing New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware and the Canadian province of Ontario.
Rick Laubach of Quakertown, Pa., registered his first Super DIRTcar Series victory in the ’13 ‘Dirty Jersey’ with a dominant performance driving the Gary and Lori Herrmann-owned No. 7. He earned more than $7,000 in cash and contingencies. Friesen (Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont.), who started the event from 15th, finished second, followed by Danny Johnson (Rochester, N.Y.), Ryan Godown (Ringoes, N.J.) and Frank Cozze (Wind Gap, Pa.).
“We fought the weather last year, but our first “Dirty Jersey’ was a success,” Stewart Friesen said. “We picked out some areas where we can improve our experience even more for fans and drivers this year.”
Friesen’s promotional roots run deep through his late grandfather Stan, late Uncle Alex, and his Uncle Joel and father Jamie, the operators of Ransomville Speedway in Western New York.
A rules package has been devised for the 360 Sprint Car portion of the ‘Dirty Jersey’ program and has been posted at www.bdmotorsportsmedia.com in addition to a complete purse structure. Empire Super Sprint (ESS) officials will be working with Friesen-Deyo Promotions to manage the Sprint Car program.
Pioneer Pole Buildings Inc. of Schuylkill Haven, Pa., for the second consecutive year, has signed on as a leading sponsor of the event. Pioneer Pole Buildings is the premier builder of post-frame buildings in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia and New York.

Godown Beats Van Horn in New Egypt Mother’s Day Thriller

Godown Beats Van Horn in New Egypt Mother’s Day Thriller
New Egypt, NJ (May 10, 2014) – 2012 champion Ryan Godown of Ringoes, NJ won the 30 lap feature Saturday at New Egypt Speedway in thrilling fashion over David Van Horn. Godown won the final restart with 9 laps remaining, and then held off a major challenge from Van Horn with three laps remaining to win his third event at NES this year.
“I tip my hat to the track crew tonight and the speedway management.” Stated Godown in victory lane, “It would have been easy to just call the show off after that rain hit late this afternoon, but they stuck with it and rewarded the fans that came out with a great race!”
Following a two hour delay to the start of the program due to a heavy thunderstorm hitting the track at 4:30pm, Speedway management decided to go with a features only program with more rain in the area. PJ Oliver grabbed the lead on the initial start only to spin in turn four bunching up the field for another try. When the green flew again, new pole sitter Tim Apgar charged to the lead chased by veteran Doug Ostwald and John Stangle. Apgar stretched his lead early as Van Horn quickly sliced thru traffic and ran down Apgar. Van Horn slid by Apgar on lap 14 to assume command and then had to survive several restarts over the next three laps. On lap 18, Godown raced into second followed by Billy Pauch in third, however Van Horn had the hot set-up as he continued to set the pace. With 9 laps remaining, third place Pauch stopped in turn 3 with a flat tire bringing out the races final caution. The ensuing restart saw Godown time the restart perfectly winning the drag race into turn one and sweeping around the cushion into the lead. But Van Horn was not finished as he closed back in on the leader with 5 laps remaining and then starting pulling alongside of Godown on every turn. The big challenge came in turn 4 with three laps left, as Van Horn slid under Godown with the two cars rubbing nerf bars. Godown seemed to bounce over the cushion, but never lifted out of the throttle and was able to power back around Van Horn as they exited the turn back to a 3 car length advantage. Van Horn used the final 3 laps to reel Godown back in but ran out of time for another battle. Danny Bouc drove a strong race coming home third as Pauch drove all the way back thru the field to capture fourth. Willie Osmun rounded out the top five.
The NERS 305 Sprints 20 lap event saw Tim Tanner Jr. win for the second time in three events as he maintained the point lead. Phil Meisner Jr. ran a close second but could never muster a serious challenge. Mike Haggen bottom, Justin Hoffman, and Neal Williams completed the top five.
The Sportsman 20 lapper was taken by Mike Lyons of Monroe Twp., NJ. Lyons held off a mid-race challenge from Mike Butler and then a late race charge from defending champ Bob Lineman Jr. to win the 20th feature of his career at NES. Lineman crossed the line second trailed by Brisan Roemer, Johnny Cornell and Butler.
The HCI/SpikeNGo Rookie Sportsman Series 5 lap feature event was taken Kevin Dale for his first ever win. Branden Clauss was second and Derek Krum finished third.
As a Thank You to all of the fans who came out to support the speedway despite the rain, and then sat thru the long delay to start the program, owner Fred Vahlsing and speedway management announced to the crowd that anyone bringing their wristband back with them next Saturday night, will receive 50% off of their general admission ticket!
Next Saturday, May 17, it is NASCAR Night at New Egypt Speedway. Anyone wearing their favorite NASCAR drivers apparel will receive $3 off general admission, while purchasing a NASCAR Day pin will get you $5 off your admission. The offers cannot be combined. The 358 Modifieds get the week off, as the ARDC Midgets return for the second time, joined by the Crate Modifieds and the Street Stocks. It will also be the first Demo Derby of the 2014 season. Gates will open at 4:00 p.m. with the first race starting at 6:00 pm.
