Horton Beats All Obstacles to Win New Egypt RoC Cabin Fever 60

New Egypt, NJ (March 23, 2013) – Jimmy Horton of Neshanic, NJ defeated everything at New Egypt Speedway Saturday evening including the track as he captured the 60 lap RoC Tour Modified feature event. The “Cabin Fever 60” season opener had fierce competition throughout the event on a less than perfect early Spring track surface. “The track was the same for all of us,” stated the winner in victory lane, “We all got beat up but it was a lot of fun racing back and forth for the lead the way we did with Ryan (Godown) and Billy (Pauch). I am sure the fans loved it!”

Matt Sheppard and Billy Decker brought the 27 car star studded field to the green flag with Sheppard grabbing the early lead. Sheppard led the field for the first 10 laps as 3rd starting Sammy Piazza challenged for the lead. By lap 15 Horton, who had started 6th was challenging for the lead with ninth starting Billy Pauch right with him. The duo passed Sheppard on either side simultaneously with Horton taking command. This was short lived as Pauch worked hard on him to get by as defending NES champ Ryan Godown beared down on the two. These three perennial NES stars traded the lead numerous times for over the middle portion of the race while the fans wildly cheered them on as each got to collect lap money. Just after halfway Sheppard dropped out with mechanical issues and shortly after that Pauch retired pit side as well. With 20 laps remaining Godown got a flat and after getting new rubber rejoined at the rear of the field. Piazza and 16th starting Craig Von Dohren now took up the chase and began to pressure Horton, with Piazza leading again momentarily. Horton again was up to the challenge as he took the lead back. The final 10 laps saw numerous yellows for cars breaking, but saw more action than this article could do justice as this event will surely be one of the favorites to buy at the video stand. With 6 laps remaining David Van Horn charged into third only to roll over the cushion and flip in turn one, and with 3 laps remaining Piazza broke while running third. This final caution set up a wild restart with Rick Laubach making a move that many described as one of the best they have ever seen, going from seventh in turn one to second in by turn two driving right down the middle between 5 cars! Laubach quickly chased after Horton, but Horton drove away for his 20th career victory at the speedway. Laubach ran second until he lost the handle in the final turn, causing a collision and then a mad scramble the final 100 yards to the finish line. Jimmy Blewett finished second with Godown completing an impressive comeback in third. Laubach crossed the line fourth with Von Dohren taking fifth. Completing the top ten were Bobby Varin, defending RoC champ Danny Johnson, Pat Ward, Neal Williams and Sammy Martz.

Ken Hammond of Berkshire, NY captured his first win at NES in the 30 lap RoC Sportsman tour race. Hammond raced in or near the top five the whole race before finding grooves that worked in each turn and charging up to challenge the leader. He passed early race leader & teammate Eddie White for second with five laps remaining and then got by NES regular DJ Ruppert with less than 2 laps remaining to post his second career RoC tour win. Ruppert had to settle for second for the second straight year in this race, while White crossed the line third. Jim Housworth and 2012 NES champion Clay Butler rounded out the top five.

Next Saturday, March 30, New Egypt Speedway will host its annual practice day from 12noon-5pm. All divisions will be practicing and fans are invited to come and watch free of charge. Then on April 6th NES will kickoff the 2013 regular season with a full card of 358 Modifieds, Sportsman, and Street Stocks. Gates open at 4:00 p.m. with the first race starting at 6:00 pm.

MODIFIED RACING STAR JIMMY BLEWETT TO RACE IN FATHEADZ EYEWEAR THREE RACE INDOOR SERIES

TRENTON, NJ - November 16, 2012 . . . Modified stock car driver Jimmy Blewett has never driven a single lap in a Three Quarter (TQ) Midget, nor raced indoors. He will have three opportunities to broaden his racing horizons this winter when he steers Bobby Watkins’ car in the “Fatheadz Eyewear Indoor Racing Series.” The three indoor auto racing events are produced by Len Sammons Motorsports Productions.
The first race is set for 1st Mariner Center in Baltimore, Md, on Saturday, December 8th. The newly named series’ second event is logged in for Dunkin’ Donuts Center in Providence, R.I., on December 31 and the two-race weekend finale is scheduled for February 1-2, 2013 in Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall.
Blewett will drive a car owned by Bobby Watkins Jr., a racing veteran from Levittown, Pa. “I’m looking forward to driving for Bobby,” Blewett said. “I’ll have the car in my shop before the first race and hope to shake it down in advance of heading to Baltimore,” Blewett said. Entries have been coming in at a steady rate for the Baltimore, Providence. and Atlantic City TQ Midget class and for the support Champ Kart division. Atlantic City’s schedule of events includes two other class, a 600 Micro Sprint class and the Slingshots. TQ car owner Watkins is looking forward to having Blewett in his car. “I haven’t been racing for two years now because of my health,” Watkins said. “The chance to have a quality driver in my car is the
best thing that could happen.” Among the over four dozen TQ drivers who have entered the Fatheadz Eyewear Indoor Racing Series events are NASCAR Modified past champion Ted Christopher, Plainville, Ct.; TSRS 305 Sprint car standout Chris Allen., Jr., Old Bridge, N.J.; 2012 ARDC Midget driving champion Tim Buckwalter, Pottstown, Pa.; open cockpit veteran Lou Cicconi, Jr.; Lester, Pa.; NASCAR Modified past Rookie Of The year Patrick Emerling; dirt Late Model campaigner Kyle Lear, Severna Park, Md., and SK? Modified racer Glen Reen, Wilbraham, Ma. Registration forms, technical rules and race procedures for all three events is available on line at www.aarn.com or by calling 609-888-3618.
The addition of the Baltimore race this year to the previous events in Providence and Atlantic City provides TQ drivers and Champ Kart racers with major events in three destination cities. Champ Kart early entries include Gage Perkins, LaPlanta, Md.; Cody Siebar, Mifflilntown, Pa.; Andrew Swisher, West Chester, Pa.; Todd Crenshaw, Winchester, Va.; Glen Meisenhelder, Feeding Hills, Ma., Ron Midford Jr., Tolland, Ct., Brandon Ruszek, Wallingford, Ct., and the Sullivan brothers, Brian and Tom of South Windsor, Ct.
Series sponsor Fatheadz is synonymous in the midwest with open wheel racing by marketing heavily in the Sprint car and Midget ranks since its founding and sponsors other forms of motorsports throughout the country.
Fatheadz has been seeking to expand its motorsports marketing territory eastward into the hotbed of the northeast open wheel community and Len Sammons Motorsports Productions’ three- race series offered a high profile scenerio with a proven record of success.
“Baltimore is a great location for an Indoor race,” said event organizer Len Sammons. “It is easily accessible from central Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey. We expect the event to be as popular as our Atlantic City and Providence races have become in its very first year.”
The 1st Mariner Center is near the very popular Camden Yards and is in the middle of Baltimore’s trendy Inner Harbor area, a tourist mecca with dozens of shops, restaurants and attractions. The host hotel will be the Holiday Inn directly across the street from the Center.

The Providence race in Dunkin Donuts’ Center is the fifth Indoor race at that venue promoted by Sammons. The December 31 scheduling - on New Years Eve - has provided race teams and their followers with a rare opportunity to compete against one another, then party the night away and herald the coming of the new year. The Clarion Inn in Seekonk, Mass. will serve as the host hotel for the Providence Indoor race. Located less than ten minutes from the Dunkin’ Donuts Center, Clarion guests will enjoy the ease of parking their vehicles at no charge in a secured area. Reservations, available at a reduced nightly rate of $89.00, may be made by calling l-508-336-7300. With making reservations, ask for the "Indoor Racing" special rate.
A gala post-race New Years’ Eve Party has been planned at the Clarion, with a one hour buffet featuring a carving station, complimentary beer and wine from 11 p.m. until the stroke of midnight and a champagne toast to herald the arrival of 2013. A full cash bar will be open from 10 PM to 1 AM. A DJ will provide music until 2 AM. Hats and noisemakers will be supplied.

The 2013 running at Boardwalk Hall will be the eleventh event under
Len Sammons Motorsports Productions. Racing indoors in Boardwalk Hall took place for the first time in 1938. Associate and race sponsorships are being sought for each of three races. Advertising is also available in the three event programs. Information is available by calling the LSMP office at 609-888-3618 or by visiting the comprehensive website at motorsports@aarn.com.

RAY EVERNHAM TO REUNITE WALLY DALLENBACH WITH LOST ORIGINAL XL-1 FOR LAPS AT HISTORIC TURKEY DERBY AT NEW JERSEY’S WALL STADIUM SPEEDWAY

MOORESVILLE, NC – The legendary pink-and-white XL-1 (Experimental Lincoln Number One) 1937 Ford Coupe modified that dominated at race tracks throughout the Northeast 50 years ago, is making a long-awaited return to New Jersey’s Wall Stadium Speedway on Nov. 24 with original driver Wally Dallenbach back behind the driver’s seat.

Shortly after Dallenbach and “Gentleman” Joe Kelly drove the Don House- and Al Gehrum-built XL-1 in 1962, it disappeared from the Northeast racing circuit. The XL-1 was discovered rusting next to a junkyard filled with vintage auto parts in rural Halifax, VA.

New Jersey native and former Wall Stadium champion Ray Evernham came to the rescue, acquiring the historic car in 2011 and restoring the rusted remains to its original luster and running condition. Now, Evernham will reunite the restored XL-1 with Dallenbach and return it to its former stomping grounds at Wall Stadium Speedway.

WHO: Evernham, former Wall Stadium champion, three-time NASCAR championship crew chief, former NASCAR team owner and current and ESPN analyst, and Dallenbach, legendary New Jersey modified and open-wheel driver.

WHAT: The return of the world’s only remaining original XL-1 to Wall Stadium, where it competed 50 years ago. The car was recently rescued and restored by Evernham.

WHERE: Wall Stadium Speedway
1803 Highway 34 South
Wall, NJ

WHEN: 39th Annual Turkey Derby
Saturday, November 24, 2012
Noon XL-1 unveiling with Evernham and Dallenbach behind main grandstands 1 p.m. XL-1 driven by Dallenbach and No. 19 Ford Probe modified driven by Evernham to lead parade lap of vintage race cars by the Garden State Vintage Stock Car Club

PAUCH TAKES BIG BLOCK MODIFIED POKER SERIES FINALE AT BRIDGEPORT SPEEDWAY

Swedesboro, NJ (November 11, 2012) - On day two of Wild Card Weekend at Bridgeport Speedway, Billy Pauch, Sr. took the checkered flag in the Big Block Modified Poker Series finale. Craig Whitmoyer topped the competition in the Open Sportsmen contest. The TSRS Sprint Car feature was won by Kyle Reinhardt.

After the original start of the 40-lap Big Block Modified feature was marred by a caution, Matt Harrell grabbed the lead with Billy Pauch, Sr. and Tad Cox in the hunt. After a side-by-side tussle for the top spot, Pauch, Sr. ascended to the front with three circuits recorded with Harrell in second and Ryan Godown driving into third. A slowing Dave Hunt brought out the second caution of the event on lap 6. When action got back underway, Pauch, Sr. remained in control with Godown slipping by Harrell for third. Green flag racing was stopped on the next tour for a multi-car tangle. On the ensuing restart, the top two remained in order with Richie Pratt, Jr. scooting by Harrell for third with nine revolutions completed. By lap 15, Pauch, Sr. had a half-straightaway lead as he was approaching the back end of the field. Three circuits later, the leader’s advantage had diminished in the midst of passing slower competitors. By lap 22, the top three were in tight quarters and Godown was on the outside lane trying to get past Pauch, Sr. On the twenty-fourth tour, Godown was on the top side again and Pratt, Jr. dipped beneath him in an attempt to gain the runner-up spot. Just as the battle for the lead was heating up again in heavy lap traffic, the yellow flag flew for Mike Barone on lap 26. The top three remained in order as the green lights illuminated the dirt oval. Following one caution period on lap 28 and several on lap 31, Pauch repelled the advances of Godown and Pratt, Jr. With the final nine circuits going green, Pauch, Sr. was able to hold onto his margin and collect the $5000 first place reward. Godown crossed the finish line in second with Pratt, Jr. coming home in third. Fourth place was taken by Duane Howard. JR Heffner, who was making his first appearance at Bridgeport Speedway, finished in fifth. Wade Hendrickson, JR Heffner, Richie Pratt, Jr. and Ryan Godown won the heat races for the Big Block Modifieds. The consolation races were taken by Sean Gunther and Craig Von Dohren.

Also seeing action during the weekend are 358-Modifieds, Open Sportsman, Outlaw Stocks (in two events), TSRS 305 Sprint Cars and the Garden State Vintage Stock Car Club.
Some of the invading drivers who have publicized their plans of visiting Bridgeport include Duane Howard, Doug Manmiller, New Yorkers J.R. Heffner and Bobby Varin (slated to drive the Tom Umbenhauer No. 19 small-block), Billy Pauch Sr., Ryan Godown, Mike Gular, Wade Hendrickson and a host of others to challenge the Bridgeport regulars led by track champion Rick Laubach, Jimmy Horton, Ryan Watt, Richie Pratt Jr., Michael Barone, Eric Kormann and more.
Friday night's (Nov. 9) program is headlined by a 30-lap Small-Block Modified Championship paying $3,000 to the winner, $500 for 10th place and $225 to take the green flag. The only 'small-block exclusive' event to be contested at Bridgeport this season has piqued the interest of competitors in New York, New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania. A diverse field is expected to congregate for the event.
The following weight/engine rules have been established for the event: Pennsylvania-legal spec head (2,350 lbs.); DIRTcar-legal spec head (2,350 lbs.); Open 339 cubic inches (2,400 lbs.); Open 363 cubic inches or ported spec head (2,450 lbs.); NASCAR-style 363 cubic inches or less (2,500 lbs.). The tire rule is American Racer right-rear 48 or harder; left-rear 44 or harder; 33 or harder across the front. Sail panels are not permitted. All cars must utilize conventional windows.
Also on Friday, Crate (602) Sportsman complete their five-race 'Poker Series' of events with a 30-lap event paying $1,000 to the winner and $75 to take the green flag. New Egypt (N.J.) Speedway and Delaware International engine seals are accepted for this event. The tire rule is American Racer right-rear 48 or harder; left-rear 44 or harder; 33 or harder across the front. Sail panels are not permitted. All cars must utilize conventional windows.
Outlaw Stocks take part in a pair of Friday events: a rain-postponed event from Sept. 22 that will crown the track champion and a second 20-lap feature with a long list of lap money and bonuses coordinated by Joe LaClaire of Black Flagged Racing.
Competitors looking to secure practice laps in advance of Saturday's events will be permitted to do so on Friday night.
For Friday night, gates open at 5 p.m. with hot laps at 7 p.m. and racing promptly at 7:30 p.m.

On Saturday (Nov. 10), attention turns to the 40-lap finale of the five-race 'Poker Series' for big-block/small-block Modifieds. The fifth and final hand of the series offers a $5,000 top prize should the winning driver post a $20 "gambler's fee" prior to the start of qualifying ($4,000 without). A full Race of Champions purse is set for the remainder of the field: $1,000 for fifth, $500 for 10th and $300 to take the green flag.
Saturday Modified weight rules are as follows for the event: Pennsylvania-legal spec head or DIRTcar spec head engines: 2,350 lbs.; all other small-blocks under 363 cubic inches: 2,400 lbs.; all engines above 363 cubic inches: 2,500 lbs. The tire rule is American Racer right-rear 48 or harder; left-rear 44 or harder; 33 or harder across the front. The tire rule is American Racer right-rear 48 or harder; left-rear 44 or harder; 33 or harder across the front. Sail panels are not permitted. All cars must utilize conventional windows.
The overall Modified 'Poker Series' payout is lucrative. At each Modified 'Poker Series' event, the winner receives an Ace (A), second a King (K), third a Queen (Q) and so on down to the 13th-place finisher receiving a Deuce (2). Following the completion of the five-race series, the driver with the best poker hand earns $2,500, second $1,500 and third $1,000. The driver with the worst five-card hand receives $1,000. Drivers must participate in all five events to be eligible for a point fund.
For the fans, the Modified feature field will be staged behind the grandstand on Saturday night: a popular attraction during the season.
Bridgeport will welcome the region's 'Open Sportsman' division for a 30-lap main with $1,500 at stake for the race winner and $100 to take the green flag.

ENTRY FORMS, RULES FOR BALTIMORE, PROVIDENCE INDOOR AUTO RACES NOW AVAILABLE ON LINE, BALTIMORE TICKETS ON SALE OCT. 29

BALTIMORE, MD October 23, 2012 . . . Exciting Indoor Auto Racing is coming to the 1st Mariner Arena in Baltimore on Saturday, December 8. Tickets for the first time event in Baltimore are slated to go on sale Monday, October 29 at noon at all Ticketmaster locations and the arena box office.
The show will feature the exotic TQ (Three Quarter) Midget race cars and agile Champ Karts that have put on many exciting indoor racing shows for a number of years under Len Sammons Productions.
Other Indoor Racing events are scheduled for the Dunkin’ Donuts Center in Providence, R.I., on December 31, 2012 and at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J. for two consecutive days, February 1-2, 2013.
The 1st Mariner Arena is near the very popular Camden Yards baseball stadium and in the middle of Baltimore’s trendy Inner Harbor area, a tourist mecca with dozens of shops, restaurants and attractions.
“Baltimore is a great location for an indoor race,” said event organizer Len Sammons. “It is easily accessible from central Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey. We expect the event to be as popular as our Atlantic City and Providence races have become in its very first year.”
Each class will compete against the clock in time trials that will determine starting positions in a series of qualifying heat races. The heat races will narrow the entries down to twenty-two starters for a 40-lap TQ Midget A-Main and a 25-lap Champ Kart feature event.
Grandstand gates will swing open at 6:00 p.m. with racing starting one hour later beginning with qualifying heat races.
Ted Christopher of Plainville, Ct., a many time NASCAR Whelen Modified champion, and a multi-time Indoor race winner in both Providence and Atlantic City, is the first official entrant for the Baltimore and Providence races. Other well known drivers such as Lou Cicconi Jr. and Joey Payne are expected to lead the TQ-Midget entries in the inaugural event.
Previous Indoor Champ Kart race winner Norman Hynes of Linthicum, Md. is expected to be a fan favorite as he bids for a home state victory opportunity.
Competitors intending to enter the Baltimore or Providence events may do so now on line.
Technical rules and race procedures for both events are available on line at www.aarn.com or by calling (609)-888-3618.
The entries are limited to 60 TQ-Midgets and 42 Champ Karts.
A host hotel for the Baltimore event will be announced in the very
near future.
The Clarion Inn in Seekonk, Mass. will serve as the host hotel for the Providence Indoor race. Located less than ten minutes from the Dunkin’ Donuts Center, Clarion guests will enjoy the ease of parking their vehicles at no charge in a secured area. Guests of the Clarion Inn will appreciate comfortable interior corridors that provide safe and easy room access. Reservations, available at a reduced nightly rate of $89.00, may be made by calling l-508-336-7300. With making reservations, ask for the “Indoor Racing” special rate.
The hotel restaurant, Di Parma Italian Table is open for lunch and
dinner. Di Parma also provides room Service and a complimentary
continental breakfast.
A gala post-race New Years’ Eve Party has been planned at the Clarion, featuring beef and turkey carving stations, fruit and cheese displays, complimentary beer and wine from 11 p.m. until the stroke of midnight and a champagne toast to herald the arrival of 2013.
Title and associate event sponsorships are being sought for the
three Indoor Race events.
