Godown Awarded Win After Pauch Penalized at New Egypt Speedway

New Egypt, NJ (April 26, 2014) – Defending champion Billy Pauch of Frenchtown, NJ appeared to have won for the fourth time in as many attempts Saturday in the 30 lap Modified main event at New Egypt Speedway. However Pauch’s car failed the post-race tech inspection for a body infraction when it was discovered that his Sail Panels were 2” too high. The penalty for this was Pauch being placed in last position for the event. This promoted 2012 champ Ryan Godown of Ringoes, NJ to victory lane. For Godown it is his 2nd win of the season at NES, his first since winning the opening ROC tour event.

Tim Apgar lead the field at the drop of the green, with John Stangle quickly taking up the chase from his second row starting spot. Stangle quickly drove to the lead before the first lap was completed and opened up a comfortable margin over Apgar, Gary Butler and Tad Cox. Butler and Cox each moved up a spot as the first 9 laps clicked off with Stangle in control when the first caution of the event came out. On the restart, Stangle slid up the track coming off turn four making contact with runner up Butler and slamming the wall. The resulting melee caused a chain reaction which saw Neal Williams receiving heavy damage. Butler was the new leader as Pauch was up to fourth already from 16th starting spot. Butler took command and led the next 7 laps as Pauch moved up to second. Following a lap 18 tangle between Rocco Infante and Jimmy Blewett, which resulted in black flags for both, Pauch charged by the outside into the lead. Over the final 12 laps, Pauch cruised out in front winning the event by ¾ of a straightaway over Godown for what looked like his fourth straight win. After the dust cleared in the post-race tech inspection, Godown was declared the event winner, followed by Willie Osmun second. Sammy Piazza bounced back from a spin on lap 10 to get third, followed by Butler and Darren McCaughey.

Bobby Devault won his first race of the year in the New Egypt RaceSavers 305 Sprint Car 20 lap feature. Devault started on row four and worked his way up methodically, taking the lead from leader Steph Palmai on lap 15 in lapped traffic. Palmai, who along with her sister Erika, swept the two Heat races held on for second. Mike Haggenbottom finished a close third, followed by Erika Palmai and Justin Hoffman.

The Crate Modified feature event was red flagged due to rain just before the halfway point, and will be finished at a future show. The top five when this happened was Jarrett Rozycki, Ebby Ridge, Jordan Cox, Matt Carman and Mike Carman.

The HCI/SpikeNGo Rookie Series saw another new winner as Brandon Clauss took top honors. Derek Krum finished second and Kevin Dale was third.

Next Saturday, May 3rd, it is Banner Night at New Egypt Speedway. It is also the start of Modified May Madness, where the top 24 in Modified points will be bracketed and compete against each other, with the better finish winning and moving onto the following week. $1000 in prize money along with product gift certificates will be up for grabs for the drivers at the end of May. All fans can print out the bracket off of the speedway’s website and turn it in for a chance at some great prizes as well! In action next week will be the 358 Modifieds, Crate Modifieds, Street Stocks, Rookies and the Vintage cars will be on hand as well. Gates will open at 4:00 p.m. with the first race starting at 6:00 pm.

NES ALL STAR CUP INFO
Excitement is building for the second annual All Star Cup Championship at New Egypt Speedway on September 20th, 2014, featuring the 358 Modifieds, CrateModifieds, and RaceSaver 305 Sprint Cars.

In an effort to allow more competitors to take part in the big money event, New Egypt Speedway has opened the tire rule to allow more drivers to participate.

For the 358 Modifieds and Crate Modifieds, any tire meeting the following specifications will be allowed for the All Star Cup event: LF 33 RF 38 American Racer/Hoosier D300 or harder; LR 44 RR 48 American Racer/Hoosier D300 or harder. No outlaw or drag tires will be permitted.

The RaceSaver 305 Sprint Car tire rules will continue to follow the tire rules of New Egypt Speedway for 2014 and will remain unchanged for the All Star Cup Shootout.

home the All-Star Cup points championship edging New Egypt Speedway’s own Ryan Godown by only one point.

This year’s Modified pan>All-Star Cup Series will again follow the same format. Drivers can sign up before the season begins to be included in the point series which runs from April to August. Within those four months, the driver’s eight best finishes will receive points. A maximum of four wins are allowed. If a driver has more than four wins, his/her next best finishes will be used.

The registration fee is $100 per track (or touring series such as CRSA 305 Sprints), and a driver is allowed to enter for multiple tracks. Only finishes at registered tracks or touring series will be counted. Drivers can enter for a big block or small block Modified track, but must adhere to the New Egypt Speedway 358 small block rules for the All-Star Cup Shootout on Saturday, September 20, 2014.

The All-Star Cup Shootout is the final points paying event for the All-Star Cup series. The race is a 40-lap, shootout-style event that will pay the race winner a minimum of $10,000 and will pay $350 to take the green. The All Star Cup champion will receive a minimum of $5,000.
