KRACHUN MARCHES BACK INTO NEW EGYPT SPEEDWAY'S VICTORY LANE
New Egypt, NJ (August 19, 2018) - At Eastern AutoParts Warehouse's Jeep
Night, Ryan Krachun marched back into New Egypt Speedway's victory lane by
winning the Modified feature. The Hammer Sportsman main event was won by Bob
Lineman Jr. Karl Freyer was triumphant in the Larry's Hot Rods & Harley's
Northeast Wingless Sprint Car feature.
As the 30-lap Modified feature got underway, PJ Oliver grabbed the lead.
Sixth place starting Ryan Krachun was quickly on the move as he traveled
into the runner-up spot with three laps in the books. After the yellow
lights illuminated on the third circuit, Oliver was still on top with
Krachun in second and Billy Pauch Jr., who started the contest in eleventh,
motoring into third. Krachun was beginning to reel in Oliver just before two
appearances of the yellow flag on the seventh revolution. Once racing
resumed, Krachun raced past Oliver to gain first place with Pauch Jr.
slipping into second and Oliver, Steve Davis and Jimmy Horton next in line.
Following an additional caution period, Krachun was still setting the pace
at the halfway point with Pauch Jr., Davis, Oliver and TJ Lilly completing
the top five. One tour later, Horton would work his way past Lilly to regain
fifth. With ten laps to go, Krachun had a three-car advantage over Pauch.
Jr. On lap twenty one, David VanHorn, who was the point leader entering the
race, stopped in the fourth corner to bring out the final yellow flag of the
contest. When the green flag waved, Krachun repelled another challenge by
Pauch Jr. to maintain his lead with Oliver, Davis, and Horton rounding out
the top five. With only five to go, Krachun and Pauch Jr. had pulled away
from the field with Krachun having a two-car length advantage. Over the
final tours, Krachun continued his strong pace to record his third career
checkered flag and his first since 2015. With Pauch Jr. finishing in second,
Oliver netted third. Davis came home in fourth and Horton captured fifth.
The Modified heat races were claimed by PJ Oliver, Steve Davis, and Billy
Pauch Jr. Brandon Grosso was the victor in the consolation contest.
In the non-stop feature for the Hammer Sportsman, Bob Lineman Jr. led from
start to finish to win the 20-lap race. The victory was the second of the
year for Lineman Jr. and the eighteenth of his career at New Egypt Speedway.
Tenth place starting Cale Ross took the runner-up spot after a good battle
with Will Dupree. With Dupree finishing third, David Burns was fourth. Ryan
Heim, the 2018 Rookie Champion, completed the contest in fifth. David Burns
and Bob Lineman Jr. won the qualifying events for the Hammer Sportsman.
After gaining the lead from Duane Nixon on the sixth circuit, Karl Freyer
paced the field for the remaining distance to take the 20-lap feature for
the Larry's Hot Rods & Harley's Northeast Wingless Sprint Cars. The victory
was Freyer's third of the season as he continues to sit on top of the point
standings. Rich Mellor followed Freyer across the finish line. Third went to
Lee Nardelli. Jordan Lawrence and Dan Malley filled out the top five. The
heat races in the Larry's Hot Rods & Harley's Northeast Wingless Sprint Cars
division were taken by Brian Spencer and Duane Nixon.

ANDREW KRAUSE WINS CLIFF KRAUSE MEMORIAL AT WALL SATURDAY
WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J. ~ In what could have been easily written as a Hollywood script, Andrew Krause of Holmdel overcame adversity to win the first ever Cliff Krause Memorial race at Wall Stadium Speedway Saturday night. Offering $7,127 to the 127-lap race winner, the Krause Memorial offers the richest payout on the 2018 All American Auto Group racing Series regular season for the Pete and Elda's Bar/Carmen's Pizzeria Modified stock cars.
Cliff Krause, who rescued the paved oval nearly a decade ago when he took over as the promoter along with his wife Diane, passed away of natural causes in January. His family continues to operate the facility.
Andrew Krause's effort started on a high note when he posted the fastest lap of 28 entries in time trials at 96.615 mph for a trip around the third mile oval. His first setback then came when a fan picked a 14 car inverted line up for the start of the race which relegated him to a fourteenth starting spot. Krause then started his march to the front, but that lasted just 10 laps before a broken power steering line sent him to the pit area for repairs. Krause returned to the the pack of the pack to attempt to get to the front.
Meanwhile a battle for the lead seemed to rage almost constantly as Lavallette's Adam LaCicero and Danny Bohn of Mooresville, N.C. took turns in the top spot in the early going. When Bohn left the race with shifter problems Steven Reed of Jackson took command and eventually wrestled side-by-side for several laps with Shaun Carrig of Little Falls before Carrig took the lead with an outside lane pass. With Carrig deciding not to bolt on a new tire when several others had or did, he slipped back a few spots after a lap 94 restart and Krause took the lead.
Krause then fought through a handful of late race caution flags and fought off the challenges of first Zack Alspach of Willingboro and later Derek Hopkinson of Toms River for the emotional win. Howell's Jimmy Blewett, who fought through his own share of on track troubles, crossed the line third, with Reed and Carrig wrapping up the top five.
“This one is for you Dad,” Krause said after the victory. “We had that power steering problem early and I thought that was it, but my crew made the repairs. They never give up and that won us this race tonight. I'm just so glad that I can share this with my mom and my sister. But I am so sad that my father isn't here for this win.”
Kenny Green of Farmingdale won the companion 27-lap feature race for the O'Shea's Auto Repair Factory Stocks. Bryan O'Shea of Wall was the early leader until a slowing car blocked his path with just six laps remaining. John Bowers of Pt. Pleasant then slipped into the lead before lapped car woes spoiled his effort with two laps remaining. Green was then able to motor into the lead and battled Elliot Wohl of Beachwood to the checker flag. O'Shea, point leader Mike Montano of Freeport, N.Y. and Manchester's Scott Riggleman completed the top five.
Neil Rutt III of Jackson won his first ever main event in the 27-lapper for the Surfside Collision 4 Cylinder Stocks. Jeffrey Loesch of Neptune City was second, with Howell's Brian Osborn, Darianne McLaren of Edison and Hazlet's Chris Silvestri third through fifth.
Alex McCollum of Phillipsburg was also a first time winner in the Green Flag Driving Experience Legend Cars 27-lap main event. Vinny Troia of Browns Mills, Nick Van Wickle of Edgewater Park, Rob Hyer and James Van Wickle completed the first five.
The All American Auto Group Racing Series continues this Saturday evening (Aug. 25) on “Pack the Track Night,” which offers a discounted $10 adult admission, a $5 ticket for youngsters 6 to 16 and free admission for kids five and under. The Center State Sportsman cars will race in a 50-lapper, while the Factory Stocks, 4 Cylinder Stocks, Legend Cars and the TQ Midgets are all slated for regular distance main event action. Once racing is complete a Demolition Derby will be presented. Grandstands open at 5:00 p.m., with qualifying set for 5:45 p.m. and feature race action set for 7:00 p.m.
Saturday night racing action continues through early October with schedule details at wallspeedwayracing.com.

Winner Donny Schatz (Dave Biro Photo)
Donny Schatz Scores 16th Win of 2018 Season at River Cities and Adds a Late Model Win for Extra Measure
GRAND FORKS, ND – August 17, 2018 – Donny Schatz took the lead on Lap 28, after Brad Sweet spun while leading, and held off 17th-starting Mark Dobmeier to win his 16th World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series Feature of 2018 and seventh in his last eight River Cities Speedway starts. Kerry Madsen completed the podium. Schatz also won the Late Model portion of the event.
Sheldon Haudenschild won the Sears Craftsman Dash, earning the pole for the 40-lap Feature alongside recent Knoxville Nationals winner Brad Sweet. Haudenschild led the opening lap before a Red Flag for Logan Schuchart, Wade Nygaard and Brent Marks halted the action with one lap complete. All drivers were uninjured, but only Marks returned.
Haudenschild continued to pace the field as he reached lapped traffic quickly around the ¼ bullring. Sweet stalked the Ohio native and took the lead on Lap 12 on the bottom, in heavy lapped traffic.
Jordan Adams, who flipped earlier in the night but repaired his car to transfer out of the LCS, brought out the caution with 15 laps complete.
A caution on the ensuing double-file restart, set up a single-file restart. Four laps later, Ian Madsen was involved in his second incident of the Feature, this time with too much damage to continue, bringing out Open Red conditions.
When action resumed, Sheldon Haudenschild got shuffled back to fourth behind Kerry Madsen and Donny Schatz, who moved into second. Schatz set his eyes on Sweet and closed in as the duo raced through heavy traffic.
As Schatz went high to challenge for the lead, Sweet entered low into turn one and lost the handle of his No.49, spinning to a stop. Schatz assumed the lead alongside Kerry Madsen.
Schatz stormed away on the restart as the rest of the field, especially 17th-starting Mark Dobmeier, used every inch of real estate around the River Cities Speedway to advance forward.
The final restart flew with four to go and by this time Dobmeier, the all-time winning Feature leader at River Cities Speedway, had worked his way to second, trailing Schatz. The capacity crowd was bubbling with anticipation of the finish as the two North Dakota natives led the field back to Green.
Schatz pulled away in convincing fashion for his 16th Outlaw win of the year and seventh in his last eight starts at River Cities Speedway as Dobmeier finished second, picking up KSE Hard Charger honors for advancing 15 positions.
“I’m just a lucky guy. To drive for the for the best guys in the pit area, the best owner in the country and the people that build these cars. They stand behind us through thick and then,” Schatz said of his Textron Off Road-sponsored crew, Tony Stewart and J & J Chassis.
“Mark [Dobmeier] had a good run, I saw the 13 on the board and I thought, oh boy, here we go. He’s pretty good around here,” Schatz said of his fellow North Dakota native.
“Lapped traffic definitely made your hair stand up tonight, we might not have been the best car tonight, but I’m glad we could get it done in Grand Forks,” Schatz, who also won the NLRA Late Model Feature, added in Victory Lane.
The massive crowd at River Cities was pleased to see six-time winner at River Cities in 2018, Dobmeier finish second. “It’s great to have the crowd cheer like this, this is why we do it,” Dobmeier said. “I wish I didn’t use up all my tires at the beginning of the race, I wanted to start in the Dash and start in the top-ten and get that track position early, but we didn’t have it early, so I had to dig deep, I gave everything I had. Considering we got to second to this guy [pointing at Schatz], I feel pretty good about that run,” Dobmeier said with a smile.
Kerry Madsen finished on the podium once again at River Cities, “I had a big plan on the double-file restart with six to go and it didn’t work and I lost a spot,” Madsen said with a grin before complimenting River Cities Speedway. “They do such a good job with the track here, I love coming to Grand Forks.”
14th-starting Daryn Pittman finished fourth with Brad Sweet charging back to fifth. Shane Stewart, who was involved in two accidents, recovered to finish sixth. David Gravel stayed out of trouble and finished seventh.
21st-starting Brent Marks recovered from a Lap One accident to finish eighth, Hunter Schuerenburg, who went to the work area running sixth early in the race, came back to ninth with local Jade Hastings, who brought out the Yellow with 6 laps left, completing the top-ten, the first of his World of Outlaws career.
The World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series returns to action in West Fargo tomorrow night, Saturday, August 18, 2018 at Red River Valley Speedway. If you can’t make it to the track, be sure to watch all the action LIVE on DIRTVision.com!

The threesome plus a host of others will be looking to earn every point possible in their drive to win the lucrative NASCAR and track titles.
Of course Jeff Strunk, Duane Howard, Meme DeSantis, Ray Swinehart, Doug Manmiller and many others will be performing at their best in hopes of picking up the top prize.
