Wall Stadium

Exciting Legends race from Wall Stadium

Trevor Alpsach won a very exciting 25-lap Legends feature. Zack Alspach took the early lead and was challenged early by Rob Hyer and his Trevor Alspach. The cars raced two by two, two rows deep at the front of the pack lap after lap throughout the first half of the race. Derek Hopkinson started the race in sixth and charged to challenge for third spot by lap three. Slight contact between Steve Woytysiak and Hopkinson brought out a caution and Hopkinson was sent to the rear of the field.

When the race resumed, the Alspachs put on a great battle for the lead for several laps followed closely by Robert French. Behind them, Hopkinson worked his way smoothly back up to take fourth by lap ten and contend for the lead by the halfway mark of the race. Hopkinson made an inside pass on Z. Alpach for the lead on lap 15 but as he and Z. Alspach were battling for the lead while threading through lap traffic, Hopkinson got loose and went from the lead to fourth place in a heartbeat. On lap 22 he slowed dramatically and spun in turn four. At the same time the leader Z. Alspach went into the pits and came out with an engine that sounded off. On the restart T. Alspach took the lead and held off French to take the win.

Top5- Trevor Alspach, Robert French, Derek Hopkinson, Rob Hyer and Malcolm Campbell.

Howie Conk took the win in the 25-lap Street Stock feature. Phil Fortuna lead the way in the early going until Conk, who had started in seventh position, made an inside pass for the lead on lap 13. Behind him Nick Shaw and Fortuna battled for the second spot. Conk went on to win his fourth Street Stock feature of the season.

Top 5- Howie Conk, Nick Shaw, Phil Fortuna, Mike Tillett and Jerry Stanzione.

Swedesboro, NJ (May 26, 2012) – On Bridgeport Speedway’s quarter mile oval, Lee Nardelli notched two wins. Nardelli won the 600cc Micro-Sprint feature after taking the 270cc Micro-Sprint main event. Scott Dunn was victorious in the 4-Cylinder Enduro Car race.

Lee Nardelli

At the beginning of the 20-lap 600cc Micro-Sprint feature, Jermain Godshall jumped to the front with Dave Carlberg and Lee Nardelli in tow. With plenty of passing in the opening circuits, Nardelli was up to second in three laps. Shane Lewis was on the move as well and he climbed into third with four tours completed. Nardelli and Lewis were engaged in a battle for the runner-up spot when the red flag waved on lap 7 due to a multi-car accident. On the ensuing restart, Nardelli outgunned Godshall to take the lead. Also on lap 8, a slowing Scott Harbison caused the final caution period of the event. When action got back underway, Nardelli was still in front with Lewis advancing by Godshall for second. At the halfway point, Richie Keller, who started the race in the fourteenth, was continuing his charge to the front as he motored past Godshall for third place. By lap 14, the top three of Nardelli, Lewis, and Keller were in close quarters. As the final circuits clicked off, the lead pack was approaching slower cars. On the last circuit in lap traffic, Nardelli held off Lewis and Keller for the victory. Jeff Hartman finished in fourth after starting the race in twelfth. Bill Thomas came home in fifth. The heat race winners in the 600cc Micro-Sprint class were Steve Bracall, Shane Lewis and Jermain Godshall.

Lee Nardelli

In the non-stop 20-lap 270cc Micro-Sprint feature, Lee Nardelli led from start to finish in gaining the victory. Justin Stillwagon applied heavy pressure in the final laps but had to settle for second place. Jeff Hartman, Richie Keller, and Charlie Lamanna completed the top five. Jeff Hartman and Charlie Lamanna were victors in the 270cc Micro-Sprint qualifying races.

Scott Dunn racked up his first win of the year by holding off one of his sons in the final circuits of the 20-lap contest for the 4-Cylinder Enduro Cars. Justin Dunn could not pass his dad in the late moments of the race and wound up in second. Robbie Dunn, John Gray, and Art Knapp rounded out the top five.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE…

Ryan Godown Wins Thriller at New Egypt

New Egypt, NJ (May 19, 2012) – Ryan Godown of Ringoes, NJ won his second feature of the season at New Egypt Speedway Saturday night winning the 30 lap main event on Banner night sponsored by Buhler Auto Group. Godown passed Billy Pauch Jr. for the lead with just two laps remaining to pick up his 16th career win at the facility.

John Stangle grabbed the lead at the drop of the green flag and immediately pulled away from the field in impressive fashion. Billy Pauch Jr. charged up to second as he and Dave Witte tried to keep pace with Stangle. A lap eight caution bunched the field up, however Stangle was just as impressive on the restart as he again opened up a half of a straightaway lead. Point leader Ryan Godown took advantage of this restart as he powered from 11th to 6th in one lap showing everyone that he was going to figure into the outcome. Godown marched to third by the halfway mark as he began to challenge Pauch Jr. for second while Billy Pauch moved into fifth after starting 15th. With 10 laps to go Pauch Jr. and Godown were beginning to close in on Stangle who was driving the race of his life, catching the leader with 6 laps to go. The ensuing battle brought the crowd to their feet Godown used the low groove and Pauch Jr. rim rode the outside around Stangle in what became a two lap 3-wide battle for the lead! Pauch Jr. finally wrestled the lead away from Stangle on lap 26 but Godown got by Stangle as well and quickly pulled back up along side of him as they approached the beginning of lapped traffic. With just two laps remaining Godown edged in front of Pauch Jr. as they ran side by side all the way around the speedway. The final lap saw Pauch Jr. make one final hard charge into turn one getting him back up alongside of Godown again only to have his right rear tire shred as he exited turn number two. The race was not quite over though as John McClelland had been charging thru the top ten over the second half of the race and had just snuck up on the two leaders. He kept the pressure on Godown’s back bumper to the finish but just ran out of time settling for second. Stangle finished third recording his best finish to date at NES, while Willie Osmun and Billy Pauch rounded out the top five. Pauch Jr. drove around the outside to the finish with his flat tire and was still able to cross the line in ninth.

Of the 25 cars that started the event, 23 finished with 22 of them on the lead lap!

John Aumick of Highland Lakes, NJ continued his fast start winning his third event of 2012 in the Crate-1 Sportsman 20 lap feature. Aumick passed race long leader Mike Carman with 5 laps remaining and then held off a fast closing Jordan Henn for the victory. Henn finished second while rookie Carman held on for his best finish ever in third. Jordan Cox was fourth and Felix Verlangieri came from deep in the pack to finish fifth.

The Tri-State Race Saver 305 Sprint Series also came down to the final lap, as Kyle Purks of Langhorne, PA ducked under leader Mike Haggenbottom in turn two and then held on despite one last hard outside run by Haggenbottom for his first ever win at New Egypt Speedway. Haggenbottom was second while Eddie Wagner brought his mount home in third. Jonathan Swanson and Brian Carber were fourth and fifth respectively.

Jesse Dill of Whiting, NJ took top honors in the HCI/Spike-N-Go Rookie Sportsman feature event for the third time. Kimee Ling came home in second while Lauren Emmons was third.

In the twin Fastrak Late Model 12-lap features, Rob Ormsbee of Wall, NJ swept both ends of the event for the third straight time. The first 12 lap event Ormsbee survived the caution filled event beating Tony Giglio and Skip Syester. The second event Ormsbee handled easily besting PJ Oliver and Giglio.

Next Saturday May 26th New Egypt Speedway will be celebrating Memorial Day weekend with a tribute to the military and the fan favorite Twin 20 lap features for the Modifieds, all sponsored by Joy Auto Parts. The winner’s purse from last week’s Modified feature that was withheld from Billy Pauch due to his DQ for a technical infraction, was equally split up and added to the winner’s share for these twin 20 lap events. They will now each pay a cool $2662 to win! Joining the Modifieds on the card will be the Sportsman, the HCI/SpikenGo Rookies and the Outlaw Stocks. Racing gets underway at 6pm, with gates opening at 4pm. For more information, call the speedway office at (609) 758-1900 or log on to www.newegyptspeedway.net.

JESSE HILL PULLS OFF A THRILLING RIDE FOR HIS FIRST CAREER BIG BLOCK MODIFIED WIN AT BRIDGEPORT SPEEDWAY

Swedesboro, NJ (May 20, 2012) - On Scout Night at Bridgeport Speedway, Jesse Hill pulled off a thrilling ride to win his first career Big Block Modified feature race. Travis Hill bested the field in the Crate Sportsmen event. Jeff Dirkes scored the checkered flag in the Outlaw Stock Car contest.

Several cautions including one red flag incident involving the original leader, Corey Andersen, marred the early stages of the 30-lap Big Block Modified feature. Once action did get underway cleanly, Mike Franz briefly led the contest before Brian Kressley took control on lap 2 with Rick Laubach in second. By the third circuit, Ryan Watt had advanced into third. With multiple grooves available for the competitors, Kressley chose the lower lane with a fast closing Laubach using the outside line. As a battle was about to start for the top spot, Jim Bobbitt’s car stopped on the frontstretch on lap 7 bringing out the final yellow flag of the event. When racing resumed, Kressley and Laubach waged a good battle for the lead with Laubach coming out on top with eight revolutions completed. On lap 9, Jesse Hill edged by Watt to gain third place and began to reel in Kressley for second. With Laubach pulling away, Kressley and Hill tussled for the runner-up spot for several laps before Hill took over the position on the twelfth tour. At the midway point, Laubach had more than a half-straightaway advantage over Hill. By lap 18, Hill was beginning to cut into Laubach’s comfortable lead. The top two of Laubach and Hill began to encounter lap traffic by lap 22 with Hill quickly diminishing the gap. One tour later, Laubach and Hill were side by side and Hill scooted by to take the lead with six laps to go. Still passing slower cars with five circuits remaining, Laubach began to track down Hill. On lap 27, Hill gained some breathing room after clearing by fellow competitor. As the white flag waved, Hill and Laubach were in still in tight quarters. On the final circuit on the third turn, Hill stayed low while Laubach kept high in passing a slower rival. As the checkered flag waved, it was Hill on top over Laubach. Kressley came home in third with Watt taking fourth. Brett Ballard’s strong run resulted in a fifth place finish. Ballard and Watt were victors in the Big Block Modified heats.

After taking the lead on the fifth tour, Travis Hill dominated the rest of the 20-lap Crate Sportsmen contest for his second consecutive victory. Brett Kelly led the opening lap with Ricky DiEva taking over on the second circuit. Brett Kressley led the next two laps prior to Hill’s ascension to the top spot. Second place went to Kressley. Ryan Anderson came on strong in the final laps to wind up in third. Matt Budd and Tommy Beamer completed the top five. Crate Sportsmen qualifying events were won by Brad Roberts and Ryan Anderson.

In the 15-lap Outlaw Stock Car feature, Jeff Dirkes survived a restart with two circuits remaining to gain his third win of the year. Terry Griffin was second with Jeremy Doerr taking third. Bob Hopely and Ron Dirkes filled out the top five. Jimmy Hughes and Ron Dirkes won the Outlaw Stock Car heat races.

Following the last caution of the event on lap 3, Panczner was still on top. With five circuits completed, second place was now in the hands of Stephen Kemery. After a good battle for third place, Shane Lewis won the position from Lee Nardelli on the seventh tour. As the laps clicked off, the top three of Panczner, Kemery and Lewis began to separate themselves from the rest of the field. By the fourteenth circuit, the lead pack began to encounter slower running competitors. In the midst of heavy traffic with only two laps to go, Lewis was able to close in on Kemery. As the checkered flag waved, Panczner crossed the finish line in first after leading every tour of the race. Kemery held on for second with Lewis in third. Joe Kay came home in fourth and Nardelli finished in fifth. The winners of the 600cc Micro-Sprint qualifying events were Jeff Hartman, Tyler DeVault and Stephen Kemery. The consolation event was won by Tom Fraschetta.

In the 270cc Micro-Sprint main event, Ryan Wozunk led all twenty laps as he won his first career feature. Wozunk held off a hard charging Jeff Hartman in the final lap for the victory. Steve Coslop, Richie Keller and Nick Walton finished in order behind the top two of Wozunk and Hartman. Jeff Hartman and Charlie Lamanna were heat race victors in the 270cc Micro-Sprint class.

After taking the lead on lap 8, Justin Dunn bested the field in the 20-lap 4-Cylinder Enduro Car race for the second week in a row. Scott Dunn finished in second with the early pacesetter, Mike Dunn, winding up in third. John Gray and Art Knapp completed the top five.
