Howard Holds Off Pauch Jr. For $6,000 New Egypt All Star Cup Victory
New Egypt, NJ – Oley, PA’s Duane Howard held off a hard charging Billy Pauch Jr. to pick off his second career All Star Cup victory at New Egypt Speedway worth $6,000 on Saturday night. It was Howard’s fourth career NES win.
“I’ve been around this game a long time and to beat Billy here at his home track is something special. We came here a little under-motored but we freed the car up and got some momentum up in the feature. I got to thank Norm with the 357, he gives us great equipment to come and race with. It’s really fun to come here and race and beat the weather tonight. Thanks to the fans for sticking this out tonight, what a great-prepared racetrack, you can run the bottom and the top”, said Howard post race.
Ryan Simmons led the field to the green flag but it would be Duane Howard leading lap one. Howard would lead the first 11 laps with third place starter Brandon Grosso in tow. The first caution of the event would fly on lap twelve when Stan Frankenfield came to a stop on the backstretch. Grosso would jump out to the lead on the restart and would pull away from the field at will. It would all come undone for Grosso as the yellow fell for the halfway break, it appears the motor broke and he headed to the pit area handing the lead back to Howard. On the ensuing restart from the halfway break Cale Ross would spin in turn two to bring out the caution. 12th place starter David VanHorn would enter the picture as he reached the third position on lap 33. Following the restart Howard would again jump out to the lead with fifth-place starter Billy Pauch Jr. on his back bumper on lap 34. Pauch Jr. would work the bottom to perfection while Howard rim-rode on the top of the speedway. On lap 35 the caution would fly again for Cale Ross who spun again in turns one and two. As leaders choice, Howard chose the outside for the restart and again jumped out to the lead with Pauch Jr. inching ever so closely lap after lap on the back of Norm Hansell’s No. 357. Pauch would appear to be faster but just couldn’t manage to pull even with Howard to complete the pass. Pauch Jr. would try the top of the Speedway on lap 50 in turns three and four but would lose a bit of ground as Howard would pull out to a four car length lead. Pauch Jr. would make one last effort on Howard but it was to no avail as Howard would pick up his second All Star Cup victory. Pauch Jr. would come home second with Wade Hendrickson, David VanHorn and Frank Cozze completing the top five.
Brian Spencer would hold off a hard charging Joey Biasi to win his fourth straight Larry’s Hot Rods & Harley’s Northeast Wingless Sprint Car event. 2019 track champion Rich Mellor, Heidi Hedin and Larry Drake would complete the top five.
Pennsylvania invader Branden Edgar picked up his first career New Egypt Speedway Sportsman win in just his second start. Art Liedl would come on late in the going to finish second with Jim Housworth Joseph Brown and Bill Liedtka completed the top five.
Joe Toth would win the rain shortened Crate Modified event. Toth who took the lead from Johnny Bangs on lap 10 said he would rather be lucky than good as he told Nick Leach post race had something break in the driveline and had to be pushed to Victory Lane. Ryan Godown Jr., Bangs, Jeremy Martino and Ryan Simmons rounded out the top five.
The final event of the 2019 schedule will be held on Saturday December 7th with our 22nd Annual Fall Swap Meet and Flea Market. Gates open to sell at 7:30am, it is free to browse and $15 to sell. Anything automotive is welcome to be sold.
Plans for the 2019 New Egypt Speedway awards banquet should be announced in the coming weeks.

PAUCH AND HOUSWORTH ARE VICTORIOUS AT NEW EGYPT SPEEDWAY’S LEGENDS OF THE FALL
New Egypt, NJ (October 6, 2019) – At New Egypt Speedway’s Legends of the Fall, Billy Pauch Jr. topped the field of Modifieds in the 75-lap feature. Jim Housworth took top honors in the Crate vs. Sportsman event.
As the 75-lap Modified feature got underway, polesitter Briggs Danner grabbed the lead with Brandon Grosso, Andy Bachetti, Jimmy Horton and Billy Pauch Jr. next in line. On the fourth circuit, Grosso gained the top spot with Bachetti advancing into second and Danner dropping back to third. Pauch Jr., the 2019 Modified champion at New Egypt Speedway, was on the march forward as he motored into third behind Grosso and Bachetti with six tours recorded. Following a lap nine caution, Grosso was still in front with Bachetti, Pauch Jr., Horton and Duane Howard completing the top five. Over the next few laps, Howard and David VanHorn waged a good battle for fifth. VanHorn took over the position on lap fourteen just prior to an appearance of the red flag for a flare-up on PJ Oliver’s ride. On the ensuing restart, Grosso held off Bachetti with Pauch Jr. in third. Bachetti remained in hot pursuit and eventually was able to slip by Grosso on the eighteenth revolution. By lap twenty, Bachetti was pulling away as Pauch Jr. was tracking down Grosso. Three circuits later, Pauch Jr. took over the runner up spot from Grosso just before Kevin Sockriter’s spin brought out the yellow flag. Under this caution period, Bachetti dropped out the race with a mechanical issue. With Bachetti retired from the contest, Pauch Jr. inherited the lead on the twenty-fourth tour. After a pair cautions, Pauch Jr. was still in charge on lap twenty-seven with Grosso in second and fourteenth place starting Richie Pratt Jr. in third. On lap thirty-seven, a broken radiator hose forced Pratt Jr. out of the race as VanHorn advanced into third with Howard in fourth, and Danny Bouc in fifth. Following a fuel stop on the thirty-eighth circuit and a multi-car tangle on lap forty, Pauch Jr. was still pacing the field over Grosso, VanHorn, Howard and Bouc. Pauch Jr. began to pull to away from his rivals but his comfortable margin vanished due to a slowing Kevin Sockriter on lap forty-nine. When action resumed, Pauch Jr. held off Grosso as Howard sped past VanHorn to take third. On lap fifty-three, VanHorn lost another position as Bouc sped into fourth. Two tours later, racing came to a pause as Jimmy Horton’s ride slowed on the dirt oval. When the competition resumed, Pauch Jr. maintained his edge with Howard charging past Grosso for second and VanHorn taking over fourth from Bouc. Over the final nineteen circuits, Pauch Jr. would only be slowed down by a pair of caution flags as he comfortably won his sixth feature of the season and the twenty-seventh Modified victory of his career. This was the second year in the row that Pauch Jr. collected the $7500 Legends of the Fall event. With Howard in second, Grosso finished third. VanHorn was fourth and Bouc came home in fifth. The Modified heats were captured by Brandon Grosso, Andy Bachetti, Danny Bouc and David VanHorn. Danny Creeden and Ryan Simmons won the consolation races.
In the 25-lap Crate vs. Sportsman feature, Jim Housworth led every step of the way to collect his second win of the year. Housworth, who finished second in the 2019 Hammer Sportsman title chase at New Egypt Speedway, was able to hold off Ryan Heim on a last lap restart to secure the victory. Behind Heim, ninth place starting Will Dupree completed the race in third. Joe Toth came from twelfth to finish in fourth. Brandon Edgar completed the top five after starting the contest in fourteenth. The winners in the qualifying events were Art Liedl, Jim Housworth and JT Trstensky.

New Egypt, NJ – 2019 Track Champions in all weekly support divisions were crowned on Saturday night at New Egypt Speedway during Hammer Electric Championship Night.
Brian Spencer (Larry’s Hot Rods & Harley’s Northeast Wingless Sprint Cars), Art Liedl (Hammer Sportsman), Eric Palmer (Crate Modifieds), Bill Liedtka (Street Stocks) and Joe Garey Sr. (Mike’s Performance Center 4-Cylinders) were winners on the evening. Rich Mellor (Larry’s Hot Rods & Harley’s Northeast Wingless Sprint Cars), Steve Davis (Hammer Sportsman), Joe Toth (Crate Modified), Bill Liedtka (Street Stocks) and Joe Garey Sr. (Mike’s Performance Center 4-Cylinders) all earned season-long point championships.
Brad Schaale led the early going in the 20-Lap Larry’s Hot Rods & Harley’s Northeast Wingless Sprint Car feature with Larry Drake in tow. Schaale would continue to lead past the halfway point where the caution would fly for a spinning Drake. Brian Spencer who was in search of his third straight win in the division would line up third and steal the lead from Schaale on the restart. Spencer would flat out dominate the last 1/3 of the event scoring his third consecutive win in the class. Heidi Hedin would come home second, Duane Nixon third with Drake rebounding to finish fourth and Brad Schaale completing the top-5. After clinching the title in the previous race, 2019 track champion Rich Mellor would suffer a blown motor in his heat race and would be unable to start the main event.
Art Liedl picked up his first New Egypt Speedway win of the season aboard the Mongiello No. 94m which saw the 2019 track championship decided on the last lap. Virtue of his rough past couple races Bob Lineman Jr. started the Hammer Sportsman feature from the pole position. Lineman would lead the event until the halfway point where Art Liedl would pass him on inside lane coming off of two on a lap 10 restart. Jim Housworth who was in control of the points race most of the event came home 2nd with Steve Davis finishing third quintessentially scoring the 2019 Hammer Sportsman championship when Bob Lineman Jr. slipped up coming off of turn two on the last lap. Ryan Heim completed the top five.
The Crate Modifieds had the closest point battle heading into Championship Night. Eric Palmer led wire-to-wire in the Crate Modified event but it didn’t come easy. Palmer jumped out to the early lead with 2019 rookie graduate Nick VanWickle in tow. The pair would run side by side virtually the entire distance of the 20 lap event with VanWickle rim riding around the top with Palmer using a variety of grooves to keep VanWickle at bay. At one point Palmer even clipped the inside guardrail coming off of turn four late in the going. Palmer would pick up his second win of the 2019 season at NES with VanWickle coming home second, a hard-charging Ryan Simmons came home third, coming up just shy of the Crate Modified points championship with Jeremy Martino and Joe Toth completing the top five and picking up his first career NES track championship. For Toth he wins the 2019 Crate Modified crown without winning a points paying race.
Following clinching the 2019 Street Stock title a few weeks back, Bill Liedtka picked up his eighth Street Stock win of 2019 over Mick Search, Todd Dige, Brian Spencer and Joe Reid.
Following an exciting last lap in where Dom Antonelli took the white flag as the leader in the Mike’s Performance Center 4-Cylinders. Antonelli and Joe King Jr. headed down the backstretch on the final circuit with King to his inside. King then made contact with Antonelli putting him backwards in turn four and taking the checkered flag first but due to his contact with Antonellli, New Egypt Speedway officials deemed that King was over-aggressive with his move handing the win to Joe Garey Sr. Garey who was the 2018 NES 4-Cylinder champion would win the 2019 championship by just two markers over Mike Fox.
