Cozze Cashes In at New Egypt
New Egypt, NJ (September 22, 2007) - Frank Cozze of Wind Gap, PA captured his fifth main event of the season on Saturday night at New Egypt Speedway as he won the Big Block Modified 30 lap DIRTcar Modified feature. Cozze cashed in for a $3000 payday as he went wire to wire to post his 22nd career victory at NES.
"We were lucky enough to draw the pole" stated Cozze in the winner's circle, "We have lost numerous times from the pole, so there are no guarantees, but tonight it was our turn."
Cozze, who won the last point show back on September 1st, drew the #1 pill and lead the field to starter Warren Alston's green flag. Cozze looked strong from the start, and he left no doubt in anyone's mind that he was the man to beat on this night. Keith Hoffman tried to stay with Cozze during the first 10 laps, but was unable to challenge before a mechanical failure brought an end to his night. Sam Martz and Bob Drayton then took up the chase but they were no match for the stout #44 of Cozze. Ryan Godown then entered the scene with 12 laps to go, and although he was able to keep Cozze in view, he was unable to mount any kind of a challenge in the late stages, even thru two late race restarts. It was all Cozze on this night as he cruised under the checkered flags for his fifth win of the season. Godown ran a strong second while invader Jeff Strunk came to life late to finish third. Drayton raced home in the fourth position, while Ron John Koczon finished a solid fifth.
The 25 lap Sportsman season finale was won by Glenn Hisko of Bridgewater, NJ. Hisko put it all together on this night holding off a fast John Romano, Jr. to collect his first victory of the season. Early race leader Lou Farina put in an excellent effort finishing third, followed by Dave Hunt and Mike Howardson. Willie Osmun of Bloomsbury, NJ finished sixth to claim his first ever NES track title.
Matt Kall of Lambertville, NJ won his first ever feature in the 25 lap Super Stock event holding off many challenges from numerous drivers throughout the event. Mick Search finished right on Kall's bumper to take second, with Kory Fleming posting a solid third. Steve Davis and former champ Billy Bauer rounded out the top five. George Quinlan rebounded from last year to become the 2007 Super Stock champion.
The 20 lap feature for the Lucas Ford SS Sprints saw another first time winner as Rich Janney of Halifax, PA captured his first feature of his career. Five time winner Ken Carberry finished a close second, followed by early leader Dave Martin, Tom Wyckoff, and Art Liedl. By virtue of his fifth place finish, Art Liedl claimed the 2007 SS Sprint track championship, his fourth in a row.
The Outlaw Stock 12 lap feature went to Brian Ludwig for the fourth time this season, chased by 7 time winner Gary Klimeczak and Rob Longo across the line. Klimeczak became the first ever Outlaw Stock Champion at NES. This was true in the Crate 1 Sportsman race also, as E.J. Harrington not only won the 12 lap event, but was crowned the first ever Crate 1 Sportsman champion at the speedway. Scott Cranstoun and Richie Cass, Sr. finished in second and third respectively.
The Run What You Brung show scheduled for next Saturday night, September 29th, has been cancelled. The next events at New Egypt Speedway will be held on the weekend of October 12th- 14th.
On Friday the 12th, 358 Modifieds will compete in the "Sock Hop" 40 lapper paying $4000 to win. Any carburetion 358 C.I. engine legal at your home track will be allowed along with any 92 inch spec. tire. Outlaw Stocks, SS Sprints and Crate 1 Sportsman will also be competing with

Robertson Lives the Dream at New Egypt
New Egypt, NJ (September 15, 2007) - Jim Robertson of Levittown, PA lived out his lifelong dream on Saturday night as he held off some of the best in the business to win his first ever big-block Modified event at New Egypt Speedway. In only his second full year of Modified competition, Robertson withstood every challenge like a seasoned veteran to collect the $3000 top prize in the Cray Electric sponsored 30 lap feature.
"This is a dream come true!" exclaimed Robertson in victory lane, "I saw Horton there in the late going and knew I was going to have to work hard. I get my number (85) from watching Jimmy Horton as a kid and I always dreamed of racing against the best, and now I have won a feature against them. This is absolutely unbelievable."
Tim Tanner Jr., who has appeared to be on the verge of winning almost every week for the last month, drew the pole position and grabbed the early race lead with fourth place starter Robertson in tow. After several early cautions slowed the event, Tanner finally took control and lead the first seven laps. Robertson then used an inside move to
grab the lead in turn one. With no yellows to slow the pace, Robertson lead the field into lapped traffic in what was shaping up to be one of the most exciting races at NES this season. The top 8 cars ran nose to tail all with positions being traded back and forth behind Robertson until halfway. At this point, Robertson lead Sam Martz and Ryan Godown as these three raced away from the rest of the field. Martz got along side of Robertson several times but could not wrestle the lead away.
All eyes quickly turned to Jimmy Horton, who after fading back as far as eighth in the early going was back into fourth and running down the leaders. Horton caught the top three with 8 laps remaining and quickly flew into the runner up slot. He applied heavy pressure to the leader and with just four laps to go he managed to slip by Robertson for the lead only to have the first caution since lap 1 erase the move. One chance was apparently all Robertson was going to give his childhood hero as raced fast and smooth over the final 4 laps to capture his first ever victory at NES in any division. Ryan Godown took second from Horton on the final lap, while Martz held on for fourth and Frank Cozze cruised home in fifth.
Sportsman point leader Willie Osmun of Bloomsbury, NJ won his fifth feature event of the season as he passed race long leader Lou Farina with just three laps remaining for the victory. Last week's winner Rocco Infante settled for second this week, followed by Gene Stravinsky, John Salvatore, Jr. and John Romano, Jr. Osmun was also the big winner in the Cray Electric Sportsman Winner's Challenge. Osmun won the final three 1 lap match races to take home $400 of the $1000 paid out to seven different drivers.
Todd Cray of Trenton, NJ won the 25 lap Super Stock event for the second week in a row. Cray used a last lap final turn pass to take his 4th win of the season. Al Cheney finished second, Mick Search was third after charging back from an early race spin, Bryan reed drove home fourth and Bob Vaccaro rounded out the top five.
The Outlaw Stock 10 lap feature went to Gary Klimeczak for the 7th time this season. Klimeczak took the lead on lap two and was never headed. Rob Longo finished second while Goop Mondelli drove from last to finish an impressive third. The Crate 1 Sportsman 12 lap event went to Richie Cass. George Idell Jr. put in a strong performance to finish second while Dave Gorbatuk finished in the third position.
In an excellent gesture Liz Idell and the Megill family held a Chinese auction during the evening to benefit breast cancer research and raised $946 for the charity.
Next Saturday night, September 22nd, C&S Equipment will present "Championship Night" at New Egypt Speedway. DIRTcar Big-Block Modifieds will compete for $3000 to win their 30 lap event, while the 2007 champions will be crowned in all of our other divisions as the Sportsman, Super Stocks, SS Sprints, Crate 1 Sportsman and Outlaw Stocks will all be racing for double points. Adult admission will be $16, Children 7-12 will be $5.50 and all kids 6 and under are always
free at NES. Gates will open at 4pm with the first race at 6pm. For more information, call the speedway office at (609) 758-1900 or log on to www.newegyptspeedway.net .

Tad Cox is Spectacular Winning Career First
New Egypt, NJ (September 8 2007) - Tad Cox of Perkasie, PA has been close on many occasions, however victory lane somehow always eluded him. That all changed on Saturday night as "Mr. Spectacular" captured his first ever Big Block Modified win in the 30 lap DIRTcar Modified feature at New Egypt Speedway. Cox certainly earned the $3000 paycheck as he had to run down 2005 champ Frank Cozze to secure the victory.
"This is incredible, my first big block win!," shouted an ecstatic Cox in victory lane, "Last week I came from 18th to 6th, so I didn't change anything on the car and it worked perfectly. This is such a big deal."
Last week's winner Cozze drew second starting spot and took full advantage of it as he lead at the outset. Cautions plagued the very beginning of the race, as the race was slowed several times before two laps could be completed. When the race finally settled down, the final 29 laps were run caution free. Cozze looked strong from the start and many in attendance were thinking that he was going to make it two in a row. Cox, who started 4th, had other ideas though as he passed Rich Rutski for second on lap 5 and set his sights on the leader who was already 8 car lengths in front. Cox then began to visibly close in on Cozze and was on his bumper by lap 12. The two then dueled side by side for two laps before Cox powered under him of of turn four just before halfway. Cozze continued to apply the pressure, but Cox drove a flawless second half of the race. At the checkered, Cox was 6 car lengths ahead of Cozze taking a very popular win with the fans. Cozze settled for second with a strong run while Rutski was a solid third. Newly crowned Orange County Fair Speedway Modified champ Jeff Hoetzler invaded from NY to take fourth, while Tom Carberry raced home fifth.
The 20 lap Sportsman feature saw Rocco Infante of Robbinsville, NJ win his fifth of the season coming all the way from 19th starting position. Point leader Willie Osmun finished in second, followed by Justin Hoffman, 23rd starter Art Liedl and John Romano, Jr. Todd Cray of Trenton, NJ won the 25 lap Super Stock event as he claimed his third feature of the year. NES all-time leading feature winner Billy Bauer was second, while Mick Search finished third.
Bill Liedtka and Pete Fogarty rounded out the top five. The 20 lap feature for the Lucas Ford SS Sprints was taken by Ken Carberry of Fairless Hills, PA. For Carberry it was his 5th win of 2007. Early race leader Rick Cozze came home second, followed by Mark Bitner in third. Fourth and fifth went to two drivers doing double duty tonight, John Romano, Jr. and Art Liedl, who both posted top five finishes in the Sportsman event as well.
The Outlaw Stock 10 lap feature went to Brian Ludwig for the third time this season, chased by 6 time winner Gary Klimeczak and Chris Felber across the line. The Crate 1 Sportsman race is currently under protest and the results will be released as soon as a decision has been rendered.
Unofficially Richie Cass Sr. took the win in the 12 lap event followed by Pat Hires and Dave Gorbatuk.
Next Saturday night, September 15th, Cray Electric presents the "Sportsman Challenge" as the Sportsman will take part in the very popular elimination match races. DIRTcar Big-Block Modifieds will also be in action along with Super Stocks, Crate 1 Sportsman and Outlaw Stocks. Gates will open at 4pm with the first race at 6pm.

Cozze Takes the Win; Sheppard Takes the Crown
New Egypt, NJ (Sept 1, 2007) - Frank Cozze rode the outside to win the 35 lap Modified Feature with a closing Matt Sheppard not far behind. As a result of his second place finish, Sheppard was named New Egypt Speedway Modified Champion for 2007.
In the sportsman main, it was Willie Osmun taking the lead from a fast running Clay Butler in the late stages to take the win. In URC Sprint action, J.J. Grasso was the class of the field as he powered his #37 around the outside throughout the entire feature to take a very impressive win. In the Super Stock Feature, Bryan Reed in his #79 swapped the lead with a strong running Al Cheney in the #73 throughout the first 3/4 of the race, but when it was all over, it was Bryan across the line first.

Wall Finally Breaks Thru at NES, Wins Career First
New Egypt, NJ (August 25, 2007) - Pat Wall of New Egypt, NJ has been close to winning his first feature on several different occasions this year only to fall short. On Saturday night that all changed for the Modified rookie, as he led the final 22 laps of the 30 lap Modified feature to record his first career win in any division at New Egypt. It was not easy for Wall to collect the top prize of $3000 though, as the top six finished right on his rear bumper.
"We have been close before, but it feels really good to finally put
it all together," stated a jubilant Wall in the winner's circle, "I
kept waiting for the big guys to appear but they never did."
Jim Robertson brought the field to the start and quickly jumped out
in front. Robertson, who also won his heat race for the second week
in a row, led thru lap 8 as he raced smoothly around the 1/2 mile
D-shaped oval. Wall, who started 3rd, was getting faster and after
several laps of pulling under Robertson in the corners, completed his
pass for the lead as they completed lap #8. Once in front, Wall
started to pull away from Robertson who now had his hands full with
John Keller. Keller moved into second and chased Wall until the
races' only yellow appeared on lap #15. On the restart, Wall
continued to lead, but Keller was right there applying the pressure.
All eyes were now clearly on Ryan Godown, who had charged up from
deep in the pack and was now in the top five. Godown looked fast and
moved into third with just 8 laps to go as the top five battled two
and three wide at times right behind the leader. With five to go,
point leader Matt Sheppard joined in the fun as he caught the front
group and made it a six car race. With the top six racing together
under a blanket, Godown thru everything he had at Keller, who was
also looking for his first win. As the battle raged on behind him,
Wall hit all of his marks as he flawlessly drove to his first ever
checkered flag by one car length. Keller ran the best race of his
career as he bested Godown for second. Keith Hoffman also had to run
as hard as he could to finish fourth, beating Matt Sheppard for the
spot by just a couple of inches. With just 1 week left in the New
Egypt Speedway DIRTcar Modified point chase, just 10 points separate
point leader Sheppard and second place Ryan Godown. The championship
will be decided in next Saturday night's 35 lap double point event.
The 25 lap ARDC Midget tour event found last year's winner Andy
Martin of Gordonville, PA putting on a driving clinic. The current
point leader on the tour, Martin showed all in attendance why he is,
as he used the outside groove to drive from 13th starting spot to the
lead in just 8 laps. When the first and only caution flew on lap 17,
he was almost a half a lap ahead of second. The battle for second was
a torrid one as three cars traded the spot back and forth. Ryan Watt
found himself in second on the lap 17 restart and tried to put
pressure on Martin, but Martin was just too strong on this evening
and cruised to the victory. Watt finished second followed by Eric
Heydenreich, Bruce Buckwalter and Frank Polimeda.
The 20 lap Sportsman feature saw another first time winner, as Dave
Hunt of Ringoes, NJ drive to his first win of his career. Hunt held
off the persistent challenges of Mike Krachun to record the win as
Krachun settled for second. Rich Scagliotta took over the point lead
from early retiree Willie Osmun racing home in third, Glenn Hisko
took fourth with opening night winner Mike Howardson completing the
top five.
George Quinlan of Brick, NJ used his front row starting spot to his
advantage as he won his fourth of the season in the 25 lap Super
Stock feature and padded his point lead. Steve Davis ran a strong but
distant second, while Billy Bauer finished third. Jason Bubeck and
Matt Kall rounded out the top five.
The Lucas Ford SS Sprints 20 lap main event found Ken Carberry
winning his fourth of the season. Lee Taylor Jr. posted his best
finish to date in second, while current point leader Art Liedl
finished third, Ian Borden was fourth and Rich Janney came home
fifth.
Next Saturday night, September 1st, the URC Sprints come to town for
their fourth appearance of 2007. It will also be "Modified
Championship Night" as the DIRTcar Big-Block Modifieds will compete
in a 35 lap double point event to decide the 2007 champion. The
Sportsman and Super Stocks will also be in competition. Gates will
open at 4pm with the first race at 6pm. For more information, call

Godown Wins New Egypt Fourth
New Egypt, NJ (August 18, 2007) - Ryan Godown of Ringoes, NJ proved that patience is truly a virtue on Saturday night as he took top honors in the 30 lap DIRTcar Modified feature. Godown started 16th and carefully picked his moves as he came thru the field, passing race long leader Rich Ruski with just 4 laps remaining to post his fourth win of 2007 & collect the $3000 top prize.
"I am really trying to be patient," stated Godown in victory lane,
"Starting back in 16th you can't really take your time but you have
to pick your moves and not overdrive. The crew gave me a fast car
tonight and it paid off."
Modified rookie Rick Wegner brought the field to Warren Alston's
initial green which found third place starter Jim Robertson charging
into the lead. Robertson, who also won his heat race in impressive
fashion, led thru the early going with Rutski in hot pursuit. Rutski
finally proved to be too much for the leader, as he took command of
the race. Rutski was strong and seemed as though he may be headed for
his first career win as he led by as much as 2/3 of a straightaway.
The complexion of the race changed suddenly however when second place
running Tim Tanner Jr. tangled with the lapped car of John Dixon with
just 9 laps to go bringing out the races final caution. On the
restart Rutski had Bob Drayton and Godown right on his back bumper
challenging him for the lead. With all three top cars running the
outside groove, Godown new he was going to have to try something
different if he was to pull this one off. With 6 laps to go Godown
dropped to the very bottom of the track and found that his car was
getting great forward bite down there. Godown used this tactic to
quickly power under Drayton for second, and then two laps later made
the winning pass of Rutski the same way coming off of turn 4. Once in
front Godown cruised to his fourth victory of the season. Rutski
settled for a solid second, followed by Drayton, who posted another
top five. Keith Hoffman continued his strong efforts finishing fourth
while Ron John Koczon came in fifth.
In the 20 lap Sportsman feature, Gene Stravinsky of New Egypt, NJ
picked up his first win of 2007 and only the second of his career.
Stravinsky used his outside pole starting spot to his advantage as he
lead every lap of the non-stop event that was run in 6 minutes and 47
seconds. This was only the second Sportsman feature ever run without
a yellow flag in our 10 year history, both coming this season. Tim
Apgar finished a strong second, contending for the lead throughout
the event. Glenn Hisko, four-time winner Rocco Infante and Chad
Barney completed the top five.
After winning his first career Super Stock feature this past
Wednesday night, Todd Cray of Trenton, NJ wasted no time getting his
second. Cray was dominate on this night, as he took all 11 rounds of
the Super Stock Challenge Match Races to pick up $750 earlier in the
evening, and then went on capture the 25 lap feature. Mick Search
applied the pressure over the final 5 laps but Cray was up to the
challenge. Search raced home second ahead of George Quinlan, Bryan
Reed and Anthony Bozowski.
The Crate 1 Sportsman found Pat Hires winning his first career
feature in the 12 lap event. Richie Cass Sr. and E.J. Harrington
trailed Hires across the stripe. The 12 lap Outlaw Stock feature was
won by Gary Klimeczak for the fifth time this year. Doug DeBray and
Chris Felber chased Klimeczak over the line.
Next Saturday night, August 25th, the ARDC Midgets come to town for
their only appearance for 2007. The DIRTcar Big-Block Modifieds will
also compete for $3000 to win, along with Sportsman, Super Stocks,
and SS Sprints. Gates will open at 4pm with the first race at 6pm.

Sheppard Wins Race to the Front; Captures NES 7th
New Egypt, NJ (August 11, 2007) - Matt Sheppard of Waterloo, NY beat Ryan Godown to the front of the field Saturday night at New Egypt Speedway and then held off Godown's repeated challenges to post his seventh win of the year on Burnett Racing Engines "Women on Wheels" night. Sheppard grabbed the lead from Tim Tanner Jr. on lap 17 and went on to capture the DIRTcar Modified 30 lapper and the $3000 first prize.
"We were lucky to get to the front first tonight," stated Sheppard, "I am sure if Ryan had beaten me there, that his car was faster and the results may have been different." "Hopefully we can come back and duplicate this on Wednesday night," Sheppard said referring to the Super DIRTcar Series event coming up this week at the speedway.
John Keller brought the 24 car field down to starter Warren Alston's green flag and quickly assumed command. Keller appears to be getting tougher each week, as he led the field for the first 12 laps before Rich Rutski was able to sneak underneath of him on the frontstretch. Just two laps later a fast Tanner powered underneath Rutski to become the races' third leader. The first and only yellow of the event waved at this point when fifth place running Frank Cozze broke a right front spindle on the backstretch to end his night. The restart found point leader Sheppard, who started 17th, sitting right behind Tanner with Godown up to fifth. It took only one lap before Sheppard shot by Tanner for the lead. Godown charged up to second by lap 20 and set his sights on Sheppard who was now about 10 car lengths out in front. Godown quickly started to eat into that, catching Sheppard with just five laps to go. It was at this point that lapped traffic began to come into play and Sheppard was flawless as he went on to cross under the checkered flags first. Godown was a strong second, losing only 4 points to Sheppard in the championship hunt, as the two are still only separated by 14 markers. Keith Hoffman continues his string of strong runs finishing in third, while Jimmy Horton came home fourth and Tanner settled for fifth.
Rocco Infante of Robbinsville, NJ won the 20 lap Sportsman feature event. Infante took the lead on lap two and cruised uncontested to his fourth win of the year in a race that took just over 12 minutes to complete. Dave Hunt posted his best finish of the year coming home second, while Rich Scagliotta closes to within a mere 7 points of point leader Willie Osmun by finishing third. Chad Barney turned in a strong run for fourth while Art Liedl drove the Mongiello Racing #94M to a fine fifth place finish.
Al Cheney of Cranbury, NJ won his second in a row and his fifth of the season in the Super Stock 25 lap feature. Cheney took the lead from Kory Fleming before halfway and the raced to the victory. Fleming was second, followed by Mick Search, Ron Coverly and Jason Bubeck.
In the Lucas Ford SS Sprint 20 lap feature event, Rick Cozze of Pittstown, NJ won his second career feature almost one year after getting his first. Three-time defending champ Art Liedl finished second to take back the point lead, while Rich Janney continues to be fast racing home third. Fourth went to Ian Borden with Robert Liedl taking fifth.
In the Burnett Racing Engines "Women on Wheels" powder puff events, 25 cars took part in the four divisions on hand. Laura Liedl was the only one to do double duty and she was the big winner taking both the SS Sprint event and one of Sportsman events. Katie Lyons took the other Sportsman feature while Heidi Schaefer drove Kevin Bifulco's #B1 to victory in the Super Stock event. The most exciting of the five races was the Modified event which was won by Randi Rudy driving Rich Scagliotta's #8, as she passed Sandra Kell off of turn four to win by just a half of a car length.
This Wednesday night, August 15th, it will be the DIRTcar Advance Auto Parts Super DIRT Series 60 lapper. The Super Stocks will join the Modifieds on the card with gates opening at 5pm and racing getting underway at 7:30pm.
Next Saturday night, August 18th, it will be Vespia Tire and Auto Care presenting the Pit Stop Challenge for the pit crews. DIRTcar Big-Block Modifieds, Sportsman, Super Stocks, Outlaw Stocks and Crate 1 Sportsman will all be in competition. The Garden State Vintage Stock Car club will also be on hand. Gates will open at 4pm with the first race at 6pm.

Cozze & Sheppard Share Limelight In New Egypt 20's
New Egypt, NJ (August 4, 2007) - Frank Cozze of Wind Gap, PA and Matt Sheppard of Waterloo, NY both visited victory lane on Saturday night at the New Egypt Speedway. Cozze took the front end of the Twin 20's program for the DIRTcar Modifieds after grabbing the lead at the halfway mark and then showing everyone the form that has come to be expected from him. Sheppard then captured the nightcap when he wrestled the lead away from Ron John Koczon in lapped traffic just 4 laps from the finish.
In the first feature Tom Carberry got off to a fast start from his outside pole starting spot as he charged into the lead and began pulling away from the field. Bob Drayton quickly made his presence known as he caught Carberry and began to apply the pressure for the lead. Carberry held him off despite a spirited battle between the two until Cozze entered the scene. Cozze, who started 13th, was wasting no time as he was into the top five by lap 6 and then ran down the top 2 quickly. Just before halfway Cozze was able to slip under Drayton and he quickly set his sights on the leader. Lap 10 saw Cozze make the winning pass as he shot under Carberry coming off of turn #2. Once in front, Cozze put on a clinic of driving in lapped traffic as he went on to claim his third win of 2007, the 20th of his career. Carberry held off Drayton pressure the entire race to take second with Drayton coming home third. Ryan Godown took fourth with Jimmy Horton coming back from a first lap tangle to finish fifth.
The second feature saw the top twelve inverted from the first feature and this put Matt Sheppard on the pole. Many people thought this one would be over from the start, but a lap two restart saw Ron John Koczon prove everyone wrong as he raced around Sheppard and grabbed the lead. These two drivers then put on a duel that had the crowd into it as they cheered on the two. Koczon was up to every challenge until lap 16 when lapped traffic came into play. As the traffic
became heavy, Sheppard used this to his advantage, choosing the right groove and driving by for the lead. Sheppard then was flawless over the final 4 laps as he posted his sixth win of the season. Koczon took home a solid second, followed by Horton, Sam Martz and Ryan Godown.
The Sportsman 20 lap feature event saw a first time winner, as John Salvatore, Jr. took the first of his career. Salvatore was the early leader until 2007 Rookie champ Danny Bouc got by on lap 7. Bouc looked strong and it appeared he may be able to get the first win of his very young career, but it was not meant to be on this night as he broke just 6 laps from the finish. This gave the lead back to a strong running Salvatore who now had to hold back John McClelland and Willie Osmun. Salvatore was able to remain smooth on a final lap restart to post his first ever. McClelland came home second, with Osmun getting third. Tommy Carberry, Jr. and last weeks winner John Romano, Jr. rounded out the top five.
Al Cheney of Cranbury, NJ took the top honors in the 25 lap Super Stock feature. Cheney raced quickly thru the field to grab the lead, but then had to hold off point leader George Quinlan throughout the second half of the event to post his fourth feature of the season, the 18th of his career giving him sole posession of second place on the all-time list. Quinlan took second, trailed by Mick Search, Kory Fleming and Steve Davis.
In the 15 lap Outlaw Stock feature Gary Klimeczak won again impressively as he raced to victory by a margin of half a lap. Rob Longo and Brian Ludwig were a distant second and third. The Crate 1 Sportsman saw EJ Harrington grab his third win of the year over Richie Cass Sr. and Pat Hires.

Pauch Outduels Cozze; Pockets $8000 at New Egypt
New Egypt, NJ (August 1, 2007) - Billy Pauch of Frenchtown, NJ showed why perserverence pays off on Wednesday nigt as he took home $8000 for winning the 50 lap Midsummers Night Madness Modified feature event at the New Egypt Speedway. Pauch overcame a nearly terminal mistake halfway thru the event to run down leader Frank Cozze. After a spirited battle, Pauch finally made the winning pass under Cozze with four laps to go to take career win #64.
"I want to thank Kevin Bifulco for giving me a great car tonight," stated Pauch in victory lane, "I caught the inside guardrail in
between (turns) 3 & 4 and almost lost it, I still don't know how I got it back. The top was the place to be and I was able to use that to catch Frank and give us another shot and it paid off."
By virtue of winning the Dash for the Pole, Pauch grabbed the lead at the start over "Jumpin" Jack Johnson in his familiar orange #12A. Cozze quickly raced into second and set his sights on Pauch. Cozze matched every move Pauch made over the first half of the race. Many times Cozze stuck the nose of his number 44 under Pauch in the corners only to have Pauch pull back around him. Then on lap 24, Cozze would get his shot as Pauch caught the inside guardrail in turns 3 & 4 almost losing the handle. This was the break Cozze had been looking for, as he drove by for the lead and opened up about 8
car lengths. With no yellows to slow the race in the second half, Pauch had to get back on his horse quickly and he did as he went back to the top groove and set sail for the leader. Pauch caught Cozze in lapped traffic with ten to go and the battle was on. After applying heavy pressure for several laps, Pauch got the bite he was looking for and executed the winning pass. Cozze tried valiently to wrestle the lead back, but it was not to be as he settled for the runner-up spot. Keith Hoffman finished a strong third, with Billy Pauch Jr. finishing fourth and NY invader Billy Decker fifth. Completing the top ten were Jack Johnson, Rick Laubach, Jimmy Phelps, Ryan Godown and Ron John Koczon.
Heats went to Johnson, Rich Scagliotta, Pauch and Cozze. Bob Drayton and Koczon took the consolations and Pauch won the Dash for the Pole.
In the 20 lap SS Sprint feature Tom Wyckoff of Allentown, NJ grabbed his first career win. Wyckoff beat challenger Rich Janney by half a car length for the victory. Janney finished second followed by Kevin Nagy, Robert Liedl and Dave Martin.

Strunk Strikes to Win New Egypt 358 Mod Syracuse Qualifier
New Egypt, NJ (June 27, 2007) - Jeff Strunk of Bechtelsville, PA took rim riding to a new level on Wednesday night as he rode the top groove to a $5000 payday at New Egypt Speedway in the 40 lap 358 Modified Summer Dash For Cash. Strunk used a lap 6 restart to fly from 6th position to the lead and would never look back as he went on to earn a guaranteed spot in the DIRTcar 358 Modified race at Syracuse, NY in October.
"I have always wanted to win here at New Egypt and we finally got one," exclaimed Strunk in victory lane, "We have been close in the past getting second and third before, but tonight my crew had the car right on. This is a first class facility and I am proud to add my name to the winners list. Hopefully this will get our season back on track."
By virtue of winning the Dash for the Pole, David Van Horn led the 24 car field to Warren Alston's green flag and quickly took command over Craig Von Dohren and Andy Bachetti. These three ran in tight quarters with Van Horn holding sway till the yellow appeared on lap 6 for Bryant Brown, who had stopped in turn four. On the restart, Strunk, who started eigthth and was already up to sixth jumped up onto the cushion entering turn one and rocketed around the outside to second
position. With his momentum built up, Strunk pulled up along side of Van Horn and completed a five car sweep in just 1 lap.
From this point Strunk would set the pace, but not without pressure. First Bachetti would give Strunk a battle but was unable to stay with his torrid pace. Then Rick Laubach and defending Modified champion Jimmy Horton would apply pressure, but Strunk was up to that challenge as well. The final assault would come from longtime rival Duane Howard, who passed Horton for second with six laps to go, just before the final yellow would appear for Brett Hearn who had stopped in turn two. Howard would prove to be tough on the restart, as he chased Strunk over the final circuits, but Strunk proved to be tougher as he raced to the victory by just 3 car lengths. Howard would speed across the finish line in second. Horton would cross the line in third, however would be disqualified after the race when his car failed to make minimum weight. Laubach raced to a solid third place, NY invader Pat Ward finished fourth with Van Hornrounding out the top five.
Completing the top ten were Billy Pauch, Von Dohren, Jimmy Chester, Keith Hoffman and Rich Scagliotta.
Heats went to Van Horn, Von Dohren, Bachetti and Jason Hamilton. Rick Holsten took the consolation and Van Horn won the Dash for the Pole.
In the 15 lap Outlaw Stock feature Gary Klimeczak took hjome $600 with his third win of the season winning a race long battle with second place finisher Pat Conaway. Brian Ludwig finished third, followed by Jeff Dirkes and Pat Hires.
This Saturday, June 30th, it will be our Independence Day Explosion sponsored by Johanna Foods. The racing will feature DIRTcar big-block Modifieds competing in a 35 lap feature event, along with Sportsman, Super Stocks, SS Sprints and Outlaw Stocks, all competing for double points.

Martz Has Competition Covered Saturday At New Egypt
New Egypt, NJ (June 23, 2007) - Sam Martz of Somerville, NJ finally got the monkey off his back on Saturday night at New Egypt Speedway as he broke thru for his first DIRTcar Modified win of 2007. Martz, who ended the 2006 season on a three race win streak, took the lead at the halfway mark and went on to claim the $3000 top prize. "We finally got it all together!" exclaimed an excited Martz, "We went back to our set-up from last year, and the car worked great."
Jim Robertson had the early lead in the event when the first stoppage occurred on lap 7 as the red flag flew when Tad Cox flipped on the backstretch. On the ensuing restart 2001 champion Keith Hoffman hit the front stretch wall ending his evening. On the following restart Modified rookie Rick Wegner spun coming off of turn four triggering a 15 car pileup resulting in several cars being towed of for the evening including point leader Matt Sheppard.
Things finally settled down on the restart as Robertson continued to lead with Ron John Koczon, Martz, Bucky Kell and Jimmy Horton giving chase. Koczon quickly worked his way by Robertson and tried to run away and hide, but Martz had other ideas. Martz tracked him down and applied constant pressure until he finally wrestled the lead away at the halfway mark. Once in the lead, Martz was never headed as he cruised to his first win of the season. Frank Cozze was fast over the final 10 laps, but still did not have enough to challenge for the win, settling for second. Koczon came home third, with Kell fourth and Bob Drayton rounding out the top five.
In the Bar's Leaks URC Sprint Series 25 lap feature event, Michael Carber of Pipersville, PA won his first career URC A Main. Carber took lead from Randy West on lap 7 and then held off the challenges of Brian Seidel to take the checkered. Seidel finished a strong second, chased by Kevin Welsh in third. West and Mark Bitner completed the top five.
Rocco Infante of Robbinsville, NJ won his third feature of the year in the 20-lap Sportsman event. John Romano Jr. finished second, followed by Jack Swain, Gary Butler and Rich Scagliotta. Kory Fleming of Easton, PA took his third feature win of the season in the 20 lap Super Stock feature event. Mick Search finished second, Todd Cray was third, Matt Kall finished fourth and Al Cheney was fifth.
The Super Late Model feature was another crowd pleaser as David and Kenny Pettyjohn raced each other hard throughout the entire event with David coming out on top to the cheers of the crowd. Third brother Mark Pettyjohn completed the family sweep coming home third, followed by Dave Graber and Jason Miller.

Sheppard Nips Wall in New Egypt Thriller
New Egypt, NJ (June 16, 2007) - Matt Sheppard of Waterloo, NY led for only a few feet on Saturday night at New Egypt Speedway, as he nipped Modified rookie Pat Wall by a whisker to capture the 30-lap DIRTcar Modified feature. Starting 17th on the grid, Sheppard charged thru the pack, taking the lead just feet from the finish line collecting the $3000 top prize in a finish that will go down in the record books as one for the ages.
"Pat (Wall) was really quick tonight, either of us could have won this tonight," stated Sheppard in victory lane, "He did a great job and it was a lot of fun racing with him."
Jim Robertson brought the field to the green flag at the start, but it was third starting Pat Wall who turned every one's head immediately. For the second straight week, Wall charged to the lead and opened up a very comfortable advantage. Wall appeared to be on cruise control as he was over a straightaway ahead by the halfway sign as the last two weeks winners Jimmy Horton and Sheppard charged thru the field. The first and only caution of the event appeared on lap 21, when Tim Tanner Jr. broke in turn four while running in 5th. With the field now bunched up on Wall's rear bumper, Horton and Sheppard quickly charged by Robertson on the restart and set their sights on the rookie. Wall showed he was tough as he raced side by side with Horton for three consecutive laps continuing to hold onto the lead. With 4 laps to go, Sheppard brought the fans to their feet as he drove around Horton and up under Wall in one power move going into turn one. Wall and Sheppard then ran side by side for the final four laps, with Wall leading every lap at the stripe, until the final charge off of turn four, when the two raced down the front straight dead even with sparks flying. When the checkered flew it was Sheppard winning his third of the season by less than a bumper length. Wall improved his career best finish from last week by one, as Horton crossed the line third. Frank Cozze drove home fourth with Tad Cox finishing fifth.
Justin Hoffman of Pottersville, NJ won his second career feature in the 20-lap Sportsman event, his first of the year. John Romano Jr. took home second place money, followed by Chad Barney in third, Dave Hunt fourth and Ben Donaruma fifth.
Al Cheney of Cranbury, NJ took his third feature win of the season in the 20 lap Super Stock feature event. For Cheney it was the 17th win of his career at New Egypt. Todd Cray got his best finish of the season in second, with Bill Liedtka third, Bob Vaccaro fourth and George Quinlan fifth.
The Crate-1 Sportsman feature was won by veteran Richie Cass Sr. as he held off the advances of E.J. Harrington over the final half of the event to capture his first win. Harrington held on for second with Dave Gorbatuk third. In the Outlaw Stock 12 lap event, Gary Klimeczak won his second of the season over Spider Ensinger Sr. and Rob Longo.

Horton Bags Second of the Year at New Egypt
New Egypt, NJ (June 9, 2007) - Jimmy Horton of Neshanic Station, NJ drove the Grosso trucking #R24 to his second victory of 2007 Saturday night at New Egypt Speedway as he captured the 30-lap DIRTcar Modified feature. Starting 16th on the grid, Horton sliced thru the field in smooth fashion, taking the lead from race long leader Pat Wall with 8 laps to go and went on to claim the $3000 top prize.
"We are starting to get more consistant now," said Horton in Victory Lane, "Our hard work is finally paying off, I just want to thank the crew for giving me a great car tonight."
At the start of the event Modified rookie Pat Wall charged up from row two and grabbed the lead on lap 2. Wall wasted no time as he went to work and opened up a half of a straightaway lead. Wall looked strong as he survived several restarts, and each time opened up a large lead. Meanwhile defending champ Jimmy Horton was busy working his way toward the front. Horton used his vast experience in the final third of the event as he chased down Wall. Horton proved to be too much for the young driver, and raced around the outside of him for the lead with 8 laps remaining. From there Horton cruised to his second win of the season. Ryan Godown made a late race pass to grab second, with Wall holding on for third. Tim Tanner Jr. came from 11th starting spot to finish fourth with Keith Hoffman finishing fifth.
Ricky Elliott of Seaford, DE won his second feature of the season in the 25 lap Super Late Model event. Elliott won the non-stop event in a record time of 8:18. Kenny Pettyjohn chased Elliott across the line, followed by David Pettyjohn, Rob Ormsbee and Al Cheney.
Mark Herman of Windsor, NJ won the first feature of his career in the 20-lap Sportsman feature. Herman, who was a rookie in 2005, not only collected his first ever win but bettered his best ever finish by 13 positions. Mike Brannigan raced home second followed by Rocco Infante in third, J.T. Trstensky was fourth and Mike Howardson fifth.
Billy Bauer of Flemington, NJ took his second feature win of the season in the 20 lap Super Stock feature event. Bauer took the lead just before halfway and held off a late race challenge from Tony Bozowski for the win. Bozowski finished second, with Mick Search third, Jason Buback fourth and Don Shipley fifth.
In the 20 lap SS Sprint event, Dale Gardner became a feature winner for the first time in his career as he drove his #81 to a solid win. Rick Cozze ran a solid second, followed by two-time winner Ken Carberry, Kevin Nagy and Robert Liedl.
Next Saturday night, June 16th, it will be Dad's Appreciation Night sponsored by Cream Ridge Golf Club. DIRTcar Big-Block Modifieds will headline the evening, along with Sportsman, Super Stocks, Crate-1 Sportsman, Outlaw Stocks and the Lucas Ford SS Sprints. Gates open at 3:30 p.m. with first green at 6:00 pm. Adult admission is $16, children 7-12 are $5.50, and kids 6 and under are always free.

Matt Sheppard Is Super At New Egypt
New Egypt, NJ (June 2, 2007) - Matt Sheppard of Waterloo, NY turned in a stupendous performance on Saturday night at New Egypt Speedway as he captured the 30-lap DIRTcar Modified feature. Starting 14th on the grid, Sheppard charged thru the pack, taking the lead with 3 to go and claimed the $3000 top prize in the non-stop event.
"I really want to thank the track crew," praised Sheppard during the post race interview, "They have really gone to work on the track surface and tonight the fans saw a track with at least three racing grooves. This is the way racing should be!"
At the start of the event John Keller led the field to the green flag with Tim Tanner Jr. jumping out in front quickly. Tanner looked quick in the early going as he opened up a comfortable lead. Defending champ Jimmy Horton had other ideas as he worked his way up from 9th starting spot to 2nd by lap 11. Horton then chased Tanner until lap 17 when he was able to complete his pass for the lead. Horton seemed as though he would be headed to his 2nd win of the season, when suddenly all eyes turned to the #44s of point leader Matt Sheppard. Sheppard, who was in 9th at this point, appeared to be on a rail as he raced thru traffic. With 5 to go, he got by Tanner for second, and two laps later, made the winning pass on Horton. Sheppard then cruised to his second win of the season. Horton held on to finish second with Keith Hoffman crossing the line third. Ryan Godown, who was also very fast over the last 10 laps of the race, came home fourth with Tanner finishing fifth.
John McClelland of Martinsville, NJ used the far outside groove in the 20-lap Sportsman feature to pull off a spectacular 2 car pass with just 2 laps remaining to get his first win of the year. John Romano Jr. settled for second on this night, followed by Rich Scagliotta in third, Chad Barney fourth and Willie Osmun fifth.
Al Cheney of Cranbury, NJ took his second feature win of the season in the 20 lap Super Stock feature event. Cheney wrestled the lead away from race long leader Don Shipley with 7 laps to go and drove to victory. Shipley finished a career best second, with Bill Liedtka third, Kory Fleming fourth and George Quinlan fifth. In the make-up feature held over from 5/19/07 Bryan Reed of Howell, NJ won his first of the year, beating Mick Search to the stripe. Quinlan, Cheney and Jason Bubeck rounded out the top five results.
In the final race of the Advantage Financial/Cradle Rock Developers Rookie Sportsman series, Danny Bouc of Plumsteadville, PA capped off graduation night as he won for a record eighth time. With this win Bouc becomes the 2007 NES Rookie champion. Joe Systo was second over Dan Waisempacher, Eddie Prentice Jr., and Wayne Bechtel.
The Crate-1 Sportsman feature was won by second generation driver Scott Cranstoun. Mike Fattori was second with Dave Gorbatuk third. In the Outlaw Stock 10 lap event, Gary Klimeczak won his first of the season over Brian Ludwig and Rob Longo.
Next Saturday night, June 9th, it will be a full card of DIRTcar Big-Block Modifieds, Super Late Models, Sportsman, Super Stocks, and the Lucas Ford SS Sprints. In addition, we will have the vintage stock cars of the Garden State Vintage Stock Car Club on hand. Gates open at 4:00 p.m. with first green at 5:30 pm.

Cozze's A Hero In New Egypt Medal of Honor 40
New Egypt, NJ (May 26, 2007)
Frank Cozze of Wind Gap, PA had all the answers on Saturday night as he stormed to the front and cruised to victory in the Medal of Honor 40 lap DIRTcar Modified feature event at New Egypt Speedway sponsored by Joy Auto Parts.
"We had a really good night tonight," stated Cozze in victory lane, "I want to thank my crew as they worked very hard to give me a great car."
At the start of the event John Keller & Tim Tanner Jr. hooked up in a crowd pleasing side by side battle for the first six laps before Tanner took control of the field. However the competition was fierce as several drivers were hot on his heals including Bucky Kell and Sam Martz. Cozze appeared in the top five for the first time on lap 9 and began to show everyone that he was a force to be reckoned with as charged towards the front. Cozze methodically worked his way through the top five, grabbing the lead for good two laps before halfway. Bucky Kell made his way into second but was unable to gather enough speed to challenge Cozze. On the final lap, defending champ Jimmy Horton saw a sure top five finish disappear as he broke just two turns from the line. At the checkered it was all Cozze as he picked up his second win of the season, the 19th of his career. Kell finished a strong second while Ryan Godown came home third. Martz grabbed his second straight top five finishing fourth and point leader Matt Sheppard was fifth.
Starting deep in the field certainly didn't bother Rocco Infante. Infante of Robbinsville, NJ set his car up to run on the far outside and then used this to his advantage as he raced to the front from 18th starting position to claim his second win of 2007. Infante used all 20 laps, as he wrestled the lead from race long leader Willie Osmun on the final turn. Osmun settled for second, followed by John Romano Jr. in third, Tim Apgar fourth and Ben Donaruma rounding out the top five.
Tony Bozowski of New Egypt, NJ claimed his first career feature win in the 20 lap Super Stock feature event. Bozowski was the class of the field on this night as he quickly raced to the lead before the halfway mark and was never headed. Bob Vaccaro finished a strong second, followed by Matt Kall, George Quinlan and Billy Bauer.
In the eighth race of the Advantage Financial/Cradle Rock Developers Rookie Sportsman series, Danny Bouc of Plumsteadville, PA won for the seventh time in eight attempts. With this win Bouc sets the all-time record for most Rookie feature wins. Matt Holzbaur drove to his best finish of the season coming home second over Bobby Butler, Eddie Prentice Jr., and Dan Waisempacher.
The Super Late Models made their second appearance of the season and brought the crowd to their feet with a tremendous three car battle for the win. Mark Pettyjohn of Milton, DE passed both his brother Kenny Pettyjohn and first night winner Ricky Elliott on the final lap to win his first of the season. Kenny Pettyjohn and Ricky Elliott, who both lead the event at least twice during the final five laps, finished second and third respectively. Rob Ormsbee came home fourth with Tom Lainhart fifth. The Super Late Models will be in competition at New Egypt every other Saturday night for the rest of the season.
Ken Carberry of Fairless Hills, PA had the Lucas Ford SS Sprints covered tonight as he won for the second time driving the Wall Racing #664. Ian Borden finished second, followed by Steve Wilson, Robert Liedl and Dave Martin.
In the first ever appearance of the 600cc Micro Sprints, second generation driver Bob Devault drove to victory in the 15 lap feature. Devault started eighth and took the lead with 5 laps to go for his first win at NES. Rick Newcomb was second, with Rich McKay, Eddie Wagner and Rich Mellor completing the top five.
Next Saturday night, June 2nd, it will be Graduation night as the Advantage Financial/Cradle Rock Developers Rookie Sportsman graduate into the Sportsman ranks. Before they do, they will run their final race, a 15 lap double point affair, to decide their championship. The racing will also feature a full card of DIRTcar Big-Block Modifieds, Sportsman, Super Stocks, Crate1 Sportsman & Outlaw Stocks. Gates open at 4:00 p.m. with first green at 5:30 pm. Adult admission is $16,
children 7-12 are $5.50, and kids 6 and under are always free. For more information, call the speedway office at (609) 758-1900 or log on to www.newegyptspeedway.net .

NEW EGYPT SPEEDWAY CANCELS FRIDAYS FROM SCHEDULE
(posted 5/24/07)
The Management of the New Egypt Speedway met on Monday morning at the famed New Jersey dirt track to discuss and evaluate their first quarter of racing for the 2007 season. Several topics of discussion were on the table. This meeting concluded that the two day taxing of our fans as well as the low car counts on our initial Friday night has created an environment that is not financially sound for the Speedway, and not a quality program for our fans to enjoy. Auto racing is an entertainment business. If the entertainment is not of the highest quality, then the results will be unacceptable Our staff at New Egypt Speedway is committed to bringing the highest quality form of entertainment to the fans. Owners Bill Miscoski, Fred Vahlsing and Race Director Michael Sanchelli have formulated the following plan which will provide the quality of racing that our fans demand and deserve.
1. The Friday racing program has been cancelled for the remainder of the 2007 season.
2. The SS Sprints division will be moved to an every other Saturday card beginning with this Saturday, May 26th. ( check newly revised schedule for details )
3. The Super Late Model division will be moved to an every other Saturday card beginning with this Saturday May 26th.( check newly revised schedule for details )
4. The Outlaw Stock division will be moved to an every other Saturday schedule beginning Saturday June 2nd ( check newly revised schedule for details )
5. The Crate 1 Sportsman division will be moved to an every other Saturday schedule beginning Saturday June 2nd ( check newly revised schedule for details )
6. The remaining two Legends Cars appearances will be cancelled.
7. Beginning this Saturday, May 26th, we will be returning to our 5:30 PM start time. Hot Laps begin at 5:00 PM
The Management wishes to express their heart felt apologies for the sudden change in our racing program. We are committed to bringing the best possible racing for the greatest fans in sports. Our focus will be to enhance our Saturday program to make it the best night of racing for any fan, driver, owner and sponsor to see. We are extremely grateful for all the fans that support New Egypt Speedway and we want to continue to build these relationships and many new ones.

Carberry Beats Competition & Rain To Finally Break Through At New Egypt
New Egypt, NJ (May 19, 2007) - Tom Carberry of Hopewell, NJ has been very fast all season but had not been able to close the deal. All of that changed on Saturday night as Carberry dominated a star-studded field in the 30 lap DIRTcar Modified feature event and picked up the $3000 first place check at New Egypt Speedway.
"We finally finished one," stated Carberry, "Last year we broke the driveshaft with 2 to go and then a couple of weeks ago the tires went away at the end. This 2004 Bicknell car was fast all night long, I never had to change anything on it."
Carberry jumped out in front at the start of the 30 lap event with John Keller and Tim Tanner Jr. in hot pursuit. Carberry showed he was very fast early as he opened up a straightaway lead by lap 4 when the first yellow flag waved when Kenny Meisner stopped on the backstretch. When racing resumed Carberry again sped out in front opening up another big lead over Ron John Koczon & Sam Martz. By halfway Sam Martz was in second and running as hard as he could to stay with Carberry as big guns Frank Cozze and Ryan Godown began to make their presence felt in the top five. Over the final 5 laps, Martz closed in on Carberry but was unable to muster a serious challenge falling short by 2 car lengths. Ryan Godown finished a close third, followed by Jimmy Horton and Frank Cozze fourth and fifth respectively.
Mick Search of Allentown, NJ gained the title of Mr. Super Stock 2007 as he won the 30 lap title race, his first victory of the season. Search grabbed the lead from point leader and reigning Mr. Super Stock George Quinlan with 8 laps to go and went on to the biggest win of his career, collecting $1250 for his efforts. Quinlan held on for second followed by Billy Bauer, Pete Fogarty and Bob Vaccaro.
Chad Barney of Lakewood, NJ won his first career Sportman feature in crowd pleasing fashion. Barney used a late race restart with just 2 laps to go, changing his line up to the cushion and powering from third spot to the win. Justin Hoffman raced home second, chased by Ben Donaruma in third. Rookie Feature winner Danny Bouc came from last to finish fourth and John Salvatore Jr. completed the top five.
In the seventh race of the Advantage Financial/Cradle Rock Developers Rookie Sportsman series, Danny Bouc of Plumsteadville, PA won for the sixth time in seven tries. This ties him for first place all-time on the Rookie feature win list. Joe Systo came home second over Eddie Prentice Jr., Bobby Butler and Wayne Bechtel.
Tomorrow night, Sunday May 20th we will be in action as the nationally renowned World of Outlaw Sprint Car tour makes it's only stop in NJ in 2007. All eyes will be on the top two drivers in the WoO championship point chase as Donny Schatz, winner of two of the three WoO shows ever held at NES does battle with Joey Saldana, the current 1 lap track record holder at New Egypt. Gate will open at 2 p.m. for advanced ticket holders, with the ticket windows opening at
3 p.m. Racing will get underway at 6 p.m.

World of Outlaws Return to New Egypt Speedway
New Egypt, NJ By: Tony Veneziano, WoO Sprint Series PR Director
The World of Outlaws return to the always thrilling New Egypt Speedway for the first time since 2003, on Sunday, May 20 for a full night of racing. Donny Schatz, the reigning World of Outlaws Champion leads the way, along with 20-time World of Outlaws Champion Steve Kinser, as well as 2001 titlist Danny Lasoski, Joey Saldana, Daryn Pittman, Craig Dollansky, Terry McCarl, and a host of the best sprint car drivers in the world, as they will do battle on the blazing fast ½-mile.
Schatz, a native of Fargo, North Dakota currently leads the championship standings for the World of Outlaws on the strength of four wins heading into the first East Coast swing of the season. The 1997 World of Outlaws Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year won the famed Knoxville Nationals last season, after four runner-up finishes in sprint car racing’s biggest event. He has two wins at New Egypt Speedway in World of Outlaws competition, including the series inaugural visit in 2001 as well as in 2003.
Saldana, driving for NASCAR star Kasey Kahne is locked in an epic duel with Schatz for the top spot in the championship standings. Saldana has five wins on the season and also has led the most laps, and is the leader in quick time honors, with four. The native of Brownsburg, Indiana and 1996 Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year set the track record in time trials in 2001 at New Egypt Speedway, with a blistering lap of 13.828 seconds. He has two Top-10 finishes in his three starts at the half-mile.
Steve Kinser will look for his first win at the track on Sunday, May 20. The 20-time World of Outlaws champion already has a couple of wins this season. He is one of only three drivers that has competed in all three World of Outlaws events at New Egypt. The native of Bloomington, Indiana has finished in the Top-10 in each of those starts.
Danny Lasoski, the 2001 World of Outlaws champion led 14 laps in 2003, after winning the Crane Cams Dash to earn the pole position. He finished second in that event, and finished fourth in his debut at the track in 2002. The native of Dover, Missouri won earlier this season at Paducah International Raceway in Kentucky on a frigid night charging from the 15th starting spot to earn the 75th A-Feature triumph of his career.
Daryn Pittman has competed twice at New Egypt Speedway in his career. He was the runner-up in 2002, and backed that up with a very solid fourth-place effort the following year. He won a Crane Cams Dash at the half-mile in 2002. The former World of Outlaws Gumout Series Champion won earlier this season on a half-mile during the Florida DIRTcar Nationals at Volusia Speedway Park to open the season.
Craig Dollansky has competed in two of the three previous World of Outlaws events at New Egypt. In 2001, he finished sixth, and followed that up in 2002 with a fourth-place effort. The native of Elk River, Minnesota has been one of the most consistent drivers in the first quarter of the World of Outlaws season.
Jason Meyers also competed twice at New Egypt Speedway, including once in Dollansky’s car, as he was filling in while the latter recovered from a serious back injury sustained in an event at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. In that event the native of Clovis, California came home in the fourth spot. He won his first race of 2007 on a half-mile at Eldora Speedway in April.
Terry McCarl will make his first visit to New Egypt Speedway on Sunday, May 20. The six-time Knoxville Raceway Champion has been one of the most consistent drivers this season, as he continues to run near the front of the field night in and night out.
Jason Solwold will make his first trip to the state of New Jersey to race on Sunday, May 20. The native of Mt. Vernon, Washington has led laps this season as he closes in on his first World of Outlaws A-Feature triumph. He won two preliminary features last season, including on the half-mile at Williams Grove Speedway.
Jac Haudenschild will also make his debut at New Egypt Speedway on May 20. The fan favorite has raced and won on countless tracks from coast-to-coast in his illustrious career in both winged and non-winged sprint car. He is currently in the Top-10 in all-time wins with the World of Outlaws.
Other drivers that will also be in action include: Paul McMahan driving for two-time NASCAR champion Tony Stewart. McMahan finished third in both of his previous events at New Egypt Speedway.
Jason Sides will make his second start at the track. He finished a solid 11th in his debut at the half-mile in 2003. He is a native of Bartlett, Tennessee and the 2003 World of Outlaws Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year.
Also, in action will be Tim Shaffer, the 1999 World of Outlaws Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year who finished third in 2002 at the track, as well as rookie Kerry Madsen from Australia, along with Tim Kaeding filling in for Brooke Tatnell.
Second-year driver Justin Henderson will make his first trip to the Garden State, along with Randy Hannagan, who finished a very solid fifth and eighth in his previous two visits to the track. Reigning Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year Chad Kemenah will make his first start at the track, as will second-year driver Jeremy Campbell of Michigan, veteran Dion Hindi or New Mexico, second-year driver Jason Martin of Kansas, and veteran Brian Carlson of Indiana.
Current Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year contenders include: Tony Bruce Jr. of Kansas, Zach Chappell of Oklahoma, Sam Hafertepe Jr. of Texas, Chad Hillier of Washington, and Madsen.
On Sunday, May 20 at New Egypt Speedway, tickets for the World of Outlaws event will be $30 plus tax.

Matt Sheppard Breaks Into NES Win Column
New Egypt, NJ (May 12, 2007) - Matt Sheppard of Waterloo, NY overtook race leader Ken Carberry with just 8 laps to go and drove to victory in the 30 lap DIRTcar Modified feature event on Perlmutter Shop-Rite's Mother's Day Bouquet Night at New Egypt Speedway. Sheppard, who started 16th, used every possible groove as he raced to the front and claimed the $3000 first prize.
"The track was in great shape tonight," stated Sheppard, "It has been hard starting back in 16th or 18th every week, but tonight our set-up was on and it all came together."
Carberry jumped out in front at the beginning of the 30 lap event with Bucky Kell and Tim Tanner Jr. giving chase. Carberry cruised out in front during the first half of the race as Kell had his hands full with the likes of Ryan Godown and Keith Hoffman. Sheppard emerged into the top five just past halfway and used every inch of the speedway as he raced under and around the competition on his way to his first win of 2007. Ryan Godown got by Carberry late to finish second, followed by Carberry. Kell crossed the line fourth with Hoffman holding on to finish fifth.
Willie Osmun of Bloomsbury, NJ won his 12th career Sportman feature, his second of the season. Osmun picked up $1500 for taking the special Mother's Day 25 lap event. Last week's winner Rocco Infante ran out of time and settled for second. Early leaders Gene Stravinsky and John McClelland finished 3rd and 4th respectively with Mike Howardson rounding out the top five.
Rain hit the speedway with just one race left on the card. The Super Stocks were on the speedway and about to get the green flag when the sky let loose. The event will be re-scheduled in the future on a date to be announced soon.
In the sixth race of the Advantage Financial/Cradle Rock Developers Rookie Sportsman series, Danny Bouc of Plumsteadville, PA won for the fifth time in six tries.

Buffalino Rebounds For New Egypt Victory
New Egypt, NJ (April 28, 2007) - Dominick Buffalino of South River, NJ bounced back from his heartbreaking misfortune last week to capture the 30 lap DIRTcar Modified feature event on Saturday night at New Egypt Speedway. After watching a sure win slip away last week when his battery cable came off on the final lap, Buffalino used a lap 25 restart this week to make the winning move on race-long leader Tom Carberry and take home the $3000 top prize.
"We should have had one last week," stated a jubilant Buffalino, "I told the crew on the way to the track tonight that with the bad luck we had last week something good is due to happen to us. That yellow really helped us, fortunately I was able to take advantage of it."
Carberry lead at the start of the 30 lap feature followed by Buffalino and Tad Cox. Carberry opened up a comfortable lead in the early going. As the laps clicked by, Carberry and Cox, along with last week's winner Jimmy Horton began to slowly close in on Carberry. The first yellow of the event waved on lap 25 when rookie Rick Wegner spun in turn 2. Buffalino wasted no time on the restart as he blasted under Carberry in turn two and raced to his first win of 2007. Tad Cox drove a superb race to finish a career best second, followed by last week's winner Horton. Ryan Godown ran a steady race to come home fourth with Carberry holding on to finish fifth.
Rocco Infante of Robbinsville, NJ won his second career Sportman feature, his first in 8 years. John McClelland finished second followed by Rich Scagliotta, Glenn Pyatt and Mike Krachun.
Billy Bauer of Flemington, NJ won the 18th feature event of his career in the 20 lap Super Stock feature to take sole possession of first place on the all-time win list. It was Bauer's first win in a year and a half. Mick Search finished second, trailed by Jason Bubeck, Todd Cray and George Marrero. In the make-up feature from April 14th, Kory Fleming of Easton, PA captured his second win of the season. He was chased across the line by George Quinlan, Bauer, Bill
Liedtka and Al Cheney.
In the fifth race of the Advantage Financial/Cradle Rock Developers Rookie Sportsman series, Danny Bouc of Plumsteadville, PA won for the fourth time, his third in a row. Dan Waisempacher was second over Eddie Prentice Jr., Matt Holzbaur and Bobby Butler.
Next Friday night May 11th we will be in action as the first event of our every other Friday series begins featuring the Super Late Models doing battle for $2500 to win.

Buffalino Breaks, Horton Takes New Egypt Mods, URC Falls to Kevin
Welsh
New Egypt, NJ (April 28, 2007) - Jimmy Horton of Neshanic Station, NJ found himself in the right place at the right time on Saturday night, as he picked up his first Modified feature of 2007 Wing Night at New Egypt Speedway. Horton worked hard to stay in second for most of the event, putting him in position to capitalize if an opportunity presented itself. When race-long leader Dominick Buffalino's battery cable came off with two turns remaining, Horton sped by to capture his 14th career win at NES.
"Dominick had us all covered tonight, " stated a tired Horton, "He had a great car and we had nothing for him. I have always said that I would rather be lucky than good, tonight we were lucky."
Outside pole sitter Buffalino grabbed the lead at the start of the 30 lap feature with Horton and John Miloszar in tow. Buffalino immediately opened up a comfortable lead, but the battle for second was fierce. Throughout most of the event, Horton thwarted the attempts of numerous drivers including previous winners Ryan Godown & Frank Cozze and point leader Matt Sheppard. This kept Horton in second and in position to take advantage of any miscues. However, Buffalino showed he was the car to beat as he pulled away with ease on each and every restart. With a 8 car length lead on the final lap, lady luck turned her back on Buffalino, as his battery cable came off in turn three causing his car to coast to a stop just 20 yards from the finish line. Horton raced by to steal the $3000 first prize, followed by last week's winner Cozze. Sheppard cruised home third, chased by Keith Hoffman and Bob Drayton.
Kevin Welsh of Far Hills, NJ claimed his first win of 2007 in the Bar Leaks URC Sprint Series 25 lap feature. For Welsh, it was his 4th career win at New Egypt Speedway in 17 starts. Trevor Lewis was flying high in the latter stages of the race, getting to within just 2 car lengths of Welsh but had to settle for second. Brook Weibley raced home third ahead of Ed Aiken and Michael Carber.
In the Sportsman division John Romano Jr. of Cream Ridge, NJ won his third career feature event, holding off a determined Jack Swain. Swain held on for second, followed by Rich Scagliotta, John Salvatore
Jr. and Tim Apgar.
"Big" Al Cheney III of Cranbury, NJ won the 15th feature event of his career in the 20 lap Super Stock feature. Cheney used the outside groove to charge from 12th starting spot to the lead by halfway, and was never headed. Matt Kall took home the best finish of his career at New Egypt finishing second, George Quinlan finished third, with Bill Liedtka fourth and Kenny Guyer fifth.
In the fourth race of the Advantage Financial/Cradle Rock Developers Rookie Sportsman series, Danny Bouc of Plumsteadville, PA once again took top honors, capturing his third win. Dan Waisempacher was second over Bobby Butler, Eddie Prentice Jr. and Matt Holzbaur.
The Vespia Tire & Auto Care Lightning Lap $25 bonuses for the fastest lap turned in by the heat winners went to Dominic Buffalino (Modified), Rich Scagliotta (Sportsman), and Bryan Reed (Super Stock).
Next Saturday night, May 5th, it will be Scout Night at New Egypt Speedway. All scouts 12 and under will be admitted free if they are in uniform. The racing will feature a full card of big-block Modifieds, Sportsman, Super Stocks & the Advantage Financial/Cradle Rock Developers Rookies. In addition, the 20 lap Super Stock feature event rained out on April 14th will be made up, and the 600cc Micro Sprints will make their first ever appearance at NES. Gates open at 3:30 p.m. with first green at 5:30 pm. Adult admission is $16, children 7-12 are $5.50, and kids 6 and under are always free.

Cozze Hits A Home Run At New Egypt
New Egypt, NJ (April 21, 2007) - Frank Cozze of Wind Gap, PA raced to the front of the pack twice on Saturday night, winning his first Modified feature of 2007 on Grand Slam Little League night sponsored by Lucas Motors. Cozze tangled with Tom Carberry while battling for the lead on lap 8, sending both to the rear, and then charged back to the front to capture his 18th career win at NES.
Outside pole sitter Dominick Buffalino grabbed the lead at the start chased by Scott Van Gorder, Tom Carberry and Rich Rutski. Cozze, who started 7th, picked his way to the lead by lap 4. Carberry and Cozze then put on a crowd pleasing duel till lap 8, when Cozze made slight contact with Carberry that sent him spinning. Carberry was forced to pit at this point with a left rear flat. The restart then saw Van Gorder take off until Rutski ran him down and took the lead on lap 16. Meanwhile Cozze and Carberry were flying back up through the pack. Rutski, the 2005 Sportsman track champ was denied his first
ever win in any division feature when Cozze bested him on the final restart with 6 laps remaining. At the finish it was Cozze taking home the $3000 for the win. Carberry also completed his comeback by finishing a close second, while Rutski settled for third. Brian Godown drove home in fourth followed by Ron John Koczon in fifth.
"I ran as hard as I could", stated an elated Cozze, "I think I was off the track more than I was on." "We needed a win bad, we needed one quick, we needed one now, and I wasn't going to sit back and wait for it" continued Cozze, "I want thank Brent Tittle and my whole crew, after we broke last week they worked very hard to get his here tonight."
The Sportsman division saw two features tonight as the track made up the feature rained out last week. Mike Krachun of Neshanic, NJ took top honors in the make-up feature with Lou Farina III, Rich Scagliotta, Tim Apgar and John Salvatore Jr. chasing him across the line. In the regularly scheduled event, Willie Osmun of Bloomsbury, NJ took the win ahead of Justin Hoffman, Chad Barney, Krachun and Jack Swain.
Kory Fleming grabbed his 7th career feature event in the 20 lap Super Stock feature, as he won a hotly contested battle over Norm Saxton, who finished second. Tony Bozowski finished third, with Al Cheney fourth and Billy Bauer fifth.
In the third race of the Advantage Financial/Cradle Rock Developers Rookie Sportsman series, Danny Bouc of Plumsteadville, PA came from eighth starting spot to the lead in just two laps and cruised to his second win. Last week's winner Bobby Butler was second over Joe Systo, Wayne Bechtel and Eddie Prentice, Jr.
The Vespia Tire & Auto Care Lightning Lap bonuses for fastest laps turned in by the heat winners went to Dominic Buffalino (Modified), Glenn Pyatt (Sportsman), and Mick Search (Super Stock).

Godown Charges From 15th & Dominates New Egypt Mods
New Egypt, NJ (April 14, 2007) - Ryan Godown of Ringoes, NJ started deep in the pack Saturday at New Egypt Speedway, but that didn't stop him from winning his first Modified feature of 2007. The 30 lap "Go Green" event, sponsored by Pleasantview Landscaping, saw Godown dominate the event as he charged from his fifteenth starting position to the lead in just 8 laps. From there it was all Godown as he ran away and hid from the competition winning the 11th feature of his career.
Pole sitter Mike McAleer grabbed the lead at the start chased by Ron John Koczon, Tim Tanner, Jr. and Rich Rutski. Godown and 10th starting Frank Cozze were charging up thru the field together with the two bolting to the front by lap 8. It became quickly evident that Ryan Godown had everyone covered on this night as he pulled away from the field with ease. Cozze and McAleer valiantly chased after Godown until lap 21, when both saw their night come to an end as McAleer blew his motor to bring out the caution and Cozze broke on the ensuing restart. Godown's brother
Brian picked up the chase over the final 9 laps but could only watch Ryan pull away. At the finish it was Ryan grabbing the $3000 first prize by more than half of a straightaway over brother Brian Godown. Keith Hoffman came on late in the event to take third for the second straight week, followed by Matt Sheppard and Tanner, Jr.
Ken Carberry of Fairless Hills, PA took the 20 lap SS Sprint feature in his first event. Carberry set fast time and went wire to wire for his first career victory. Kevin Nagy came home second, with Rich Janney in third, David Martin crossing the line fourth and Ian Borden fifth.
In the second race of the Advantage Financial/Cradle Rock Developers Rookie Sportsman series, Bobby Butler of Milford, NJ came from the last row to post his first win. Dan Waisempacher held on for second over Jeff Marcucci, Joe Systo, and Joe Baumann.
The nights Sportsman and Super Stock 20 lap feature events were postponed when rain moved in at the conclusion of the Modified feature. These two features will be made up next Saturday night as part of C & S Equipment's Grand Slam Little League Night.
The Vespia Tire & Auto Care Lightning Lap bonuses for fastest laps turned in by the heat winners went to Tom Carberry (Modified), Rich Scagliotta (Sportsman), and Billy Bauer (Super Stock).
Next Saturday night, April 21st, it will be our Grand Slam Little League Night sponsored by C & S Equipment. All Little Leaguers 12 and under that are in uniform will be admitted free. There will be plenty of action on the track as big-block Modifieds, Sportsman, Super Stocks & the Advantage Financial/Cradle Rock Developers Rookies will be in competition.

Wet Track Postpones WoO Late Models (FRIDAY) at New Egypt
New Egypt, NJ (April 13, 2007) - After heavy rain all day Thursday and lack of any sun on Friday to help dry the track, New Egypt Speedway officials were forced to postpone tonight's appearance of the 360 OTC World of Outlaw Late Models. The tour appearance, the only of its kind in New Jersey this year, will be re-scheduled for sometime in June or July. The exact date of the show will be officially announced by this coming Wednesday.
"This is a tough decision," stated co-owner Bill Miscoski, "We worked hard all day so we could put on this show for the fans, but without any sun to help dry the track after the soaking rains we had yesterday, it became obvious that the track was not going to be ready by race time. Rather than have the fans and drivers sit through a lengthy delay, we felt it would be best to re-schedule the event for later this season."
The new date for the 360 OTC World of Outlaw Late Model Tour appearance will be available on our answering machine and on our website (www.newegyptspeedway.net) starting this Wed. April 18th. Anyone with advanced tickets for this show can use them on the new re-scheduled date.
As part of the "New" New Egypt Speedway policy, The SS Sprint division has been re-scheduled for tomorrow night, Saturday April 14th. The SS Sprints will automatically be re-scheduled for Saturday anytime they get rained out on Friday in 2007. Late Models, Outlaw Stocks and Crate 1 Sportsman will now open their season in two weeks on Friday April 27th.
New Egypt Speedway will be back in action tomorrow night, Sat. April 14th, when Pleasantview Landscaping presents our "Go Green" event, featuring Big-block Modifieds, Sportsman, Super Stocks, the Advantage Financial/Cradle Rock Developers Rookie Series & SS Sprints. Gates open at 3:30 p.m. with first green at 5 pm. Adult admission is $16,
children 7-12 are $5.50, and kids 6 and under are free. For further details about New Egypt Speedway's upcoming events, call the track office at (609) 758-1900 or log on to www.newegyptspeedway.net.
Drivers With Big-Block Modified Roots Will Garner Attention In Friday’s 360 OTC World of Outlaws Late Model Series Event At New Egypt SpeedwayPOSTPONED - LOOK FOR NEW DATE TO BE ANNOUNCED
NEW EGYPT, NJ – April 11, 2007 – New Jersey is DIRTcar Racing Big-Block Modified Country.
So it’s no surprise that when the 360 OTC World of Outlaws Late Model Series invades the Garden State’s New Egypt Speedway for the first time ever this Friday night (April 13), a healthy contingent of drivers with deep Modified roots will garner plenty of attention.
Reigning 360 OTC WoO LMS champion Tim McCreadie of Watertown, N.Y., Billy Decker of Unadilla, N.Y., Tim Fuller of Watertown, N.Y., Ricky Elliott of Seaford, Del., and Vic Coffey of Leicester, N.Y., plan to enter the $10,000-to-win ‘Cabin Fever 50,’ giving the Jersey Modified faithful some very familiar names to follow during just the second Super Late Model event in New Egypt’s history.
"It should be exciting for big-block Modified fans to see guys they know so well compete close to home in Late Models," said Tim Christman, the director of the 360 OTC WoO LMS. "All five drivers have top-notch Late Model programs and will give the Modified crowd something to cheer about at New Egypt."
McCreadie, of course, has become a national dirt Late Model star since shifting his focus to the division in 2004. His rise to last year’s 360 OTC WoO LMS title has effectively made him the patron saint of big-block Modified drivers who harbor dirt Late Model aspirations.
"He basically paved the way for Modified racers to run Late Models," Fuller, a 2007 Rookie of the Year contender with the Outlaws, said of McCreadie. "He showed it can be done."
McCreadie, who celebrates his 33rd birthday on April 12, will make his first 360 OTC WoO LMS start since February’s Florida DIRTcar Nationals on Friday at New Egypt. He’s been busy for the past month with his commitments as a Richard Childress Racing developmental driver, obtaining pavement experience with test sessions at such tracks as Phoenix International Raceway, Nashville Superspeedway and Richmond International Raceway.
The son of Northeast DIRTcar Modified legend ‘Barefoot’ Bob McCreadie has enjoyed success at New Egypt in Advance Auto Parts Super DIRTcar Series big-block Modified action, finishing as high as second in the track’s 2003 event. But he’s never turned a lap at the D-shaped, half-mile oval behind the wheel of a dirt Late Model, so he sees his Modified experience there as providing him no more than a minute edge over the invading 360 OTC WoO LMS standouts.
"It’ll just take them three laps of a hot-lap session, and they’re gonna be right on the setup," McCreadie said of the traveling Late Model stars. "That’s why they can do a touring series. They can adjust.
"Maybe the only time I might have an advantage is late in the race, if there’s an inside (line) that they don’t know is there because they’re not real familiar with the track. But I wouldn’t count on that."
If Decker, 42, and Fuller, 39 – teammates on New Yorker John Wight’s Gypsum Express Dirt Late Model operation and fellow 360 OTC Rookie of the Year aspirants – can somehow translate their success in New Egypt’s big-block Modified specials to full-fender competition, they could make Friday a big night for big-block fans. Both former Mr. DIRTcar Modified and Syracuse Mile Eckerd 200 champions have won Super DIRTcar Series 100s at New Egypt – Fuller in 2005 and 2006, and Decker in 2001.
Coffey, 35, has never had much luck at New Egypt in Super DIRTcar Series events, but he’s entered more than a half-dozen shows there. He also is a Sweeteners Plus Racing teammate of McCreadie, giving him access to the valuable Late Model technical knowledge of McCreadie and T-Mac’s chief mechanic Tommy Grecco, who was the 2005 WoO LMS Crew Chief of the Year.
A more focused approach to dirt Late Model racing in 2007 should also benefit Coffey, who qualified for the 360 OTC WoO LMS season opener on Feb. 17 at Florida’s Volusia Speedway Park. Demonstrating his increased dirt Late Model schedule, he plans to accompany McCreadie to the two Mid-Atlantic WoO events that follow New Egypt – Virginia Motor Speedway in Jamaica, Va., on Saturday night (April 14) and Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, Pa., on Tuesday night (April 17).
Elliott, a 41-year-old who has finished as high as second in a 360 OTC WoO LMS event (July 8, 2005, at Maryland’s Hagerstown Speedway), has made a handful of big-block Modified appearances at New Egypt since the track’s debut with a dirt surface in 1998. He’s never won, and he has no illusions about what his Modified experience will mean come Friday night.
"I don’t have any edge on those Outlaw guys," said Elliott, who drove Charles Jarvis’s Rocket No. 45 to a 17th-place finish in this year’s 360 OTC WoO LMS season opener at Volusia Speedway Park. "New Egypt is shaped a little different, but I’m sure they’ve raced somewhere that looks like that before.
"And we’ve only run Modified races there on spec (track) tires, so we’ll have to figure out what to use in an open-tire show. Those Outlaw guys already have that knowledge of the tires."
Several other drivers who expect to enter Friday’s show have Modified experience on their resumes, though none at New Egypt – and, in the case of 360 OTC WoO LMS regular Rick Eckert of York, Pa., just a single career start in the open-wheel car. (Eckert drove a Sweeteners Plus Modified several years ago at Volusia Speedway Park.) Scott Haus of Hamburg, Pa., was a small-block Modified regular in eastern Pennsylvania for several years in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, and Kenny Pettyjohn of Millsboro, Del., has run a big-block Modified at Delaware International Speedway.
Tickets are now on sale for the ‘Cabin Fever 50,’ which will also include New Egypt’s SS Sprints and Outlaw Stocks. They can be purchased for $30 plus tax in advance by calling the speedway office at 609-758-1900 or on raceday at the track box office.
Gates open on Friday at 4:30 p.m. and race time is set for 7 p.m.

Hearn Invades for New Egypt Bunny Hop Win
New Egypt, NJ (April 7, 2007) - DIRTcar Modified star Brett Hearn of Sussex, NJ picked the outside pole in the pre-race draw and led all 30 laps at New Egypt Speedway on Saturday night, winning the track's season-opening event. The evening's Easter Bunny Hop, sponsored by Agin Signs & Designs of Monmouth Junction, NJ, and A-1 Racing Products of Warminster, PA saw Hearn beat the cold temperatures and a star studded field to pick up his fourth career win at the track.
"It was our kind of track, what we're used too, so I think that gave us an advantage," stated Hearn. "The car felt really good, I could go up top and pass whenever I had to," continued Hearn, "I hope the car looked as good as it felt."
Hearn didn't have a whole lot to worry about in the 30-lap Modified main event. Starting on the outside pole, Hearn immediately jumped out front, ahead of Sam Martz, Rick Grosso and defending track champ Jimmy Horton. 2001 Champion Keith Hoffman seemed to be on the fast track early, until a near tangle with two lapped cars broke his momentum. Matt Sheppard then took up the chase however he was no match for Hearn's mastery of lapped traffic. In the end it was all Hearn as he took home the $3000 first prize by half of a straightaway. Sheppard was a strong second, followed by Hoffman, a late charging Ryan Godown, and Grosso.
After finishing second in last years opener, Morganville, NJ's Mike Howardson finally got the monkey off his back as he picked up his first career victory in the Sportsman 20 lapper. It was a big win for Howardson, as Agin Signs & Designs upped the ante an extra $300, and Chris Bennett Racing added another $200 bonus to the leader of lap 14 (Howardson) to make the victory worth a cool $1,500. Jack Swain was the runner-up, with Art Liedl in third, Willie Osmun crossing the line fourth and John McClelland fifth.
George Quinlan of Brick, NJ, grabbed the first race of the year in the Super Stock 20. Quinlan notched the ninth of his career at NES by winning the season opener for the second straight year. Mick Search came home a close second, followed by Bryan Reed, Al Cheney and Bill Liedtka.Four Super Late Models took part in a special practice session tonight, and were rewarded by track owners Bill Miscoski and Fred Vahlsing with a $750 purse for them to race for 12 laps. Billy Decker of Unadilla, NY took home the $500 top prize winning a crowd pleasing battle on the final lap with David Pettyjohn.
In the initial race of the Advantage Financial/Cradle Rock Developers Rookie Sportsman series, Danny Bouc of Plumsteadville, PA, caught leader Bobby Butler in lapped traffic just past the halfway point of the race and then sped to the checkered. Butler, Dan Waisempacher, Joe Systo, and Jeff Marcucci trailed Bouc at the finish.
Chris Bennett's Sportsman race team made a nice gesture, putting up a $200 bonus to the leader of lap #14 in each of the three divisions feature events tonight in memory of his friend Scott Glover Jr. Scott, who drove car #14 on the 358 sprint car circuit in central Pennsylvania, passed away suddenly two weeks ago at the age of 17.
The three feature winners, Brett Hearn, Mike Howardson and George Quinlan all picked up the extra cash. The Vespia Tire & Auto Care Lightning Lap bonuses for fastest laps turned in by the heat winners went to Keith Hoffman (Modified, 18.588), Art Liedl (Sportsman, 19.389), and Mick Search (Super Stock, 20.212).
Next week at New Egypt Speedway, it's the 360 OTC World of Outlaw Late Model Tour on Friday night April 13th, as the best Super Late Model drivers in the country do battle in the "Cabin Fever 50" paying $10,000 to win. SS Sprints, Outlaw Stocks and Crate 1 Sportsman will join the Late Models on the card. Gate will open at 4:30pm with racing getting underway at 7pm.
Next Saturday night, April 14th, it is our "Go Green" event sponsored by Pleasant View Landscaping.

All Systems Go For New Egypt Season Opener (posted 4/1/97)
New Egypt, NJ (March 31, 2007) -A new era in racing at New Egypt Speedway was kicked off Saturday as the track hosted its annual open practice session. Over 110 cars from 10 different divisions went through technical inspection, testing and tuning during the afternoon in preparation for the track's season opener on April 7.
Many sharp looking Modifieds, Sportsman and Super Stocks packed the pit area, led by some familiar names. Looking strong throughout the day was Modified hot shoe Sam Martz. Martz, who won the final 3 races in 2006, was among the fastest all day long. 2001 champ Keith Hoffman was also on hand and appeared to be ready to chase down his second track title. 2006 champs Gary Butler (Sportsman) and Al Cheney (Super Stock) also turned fast laps as they look to pick up where they left off last season.
The new Friday night racing card was also represented, as cars from all four divisions were on hand, many for the first time. This season, New Egypt Speedway will race every-other Friday, with Super Late Models headlining a card that will include SS Sprints, Outlaw Stocks and Crate 1 Sportsman. The Friday season will kickoff on April 13th, as the nationally recognized 360 OTC World of Outlaw Super Late Model Tour does battle in the "Cabin Fever 50" paying $10,000 to win.
Five URC Sprint teams towed in on Saturday as well, turning impressive laps around the half mile D-shaped clay oval. They were led by 4 time New Egypt/URC feature winner Brian Seidel of Allentown, PA. The URC Sprints will make their first of five scheduled appearances this season at New Egypt Speedway on April 28.
Nine Rookie Sportsman drivers were on hand and preparing to do battlein the Advantage Financial/Cradle Rock Developers Rookie Sportsman Series this season. The field was led with impressive runs by Bobby Butler of Milford, NJ and Danny Bouc of Plumsteadville, PA.
Off the track, two new items of interest had the fans buzzing for much of the day. The first was a new observation deck that was built in the turn 4 picnic area. The deck, which directly overlooks the new technical inspection area in the pits, allows fans to watch the pit action first hand. It received rave reviews from the many fans that crowded onto it all day long. The second was the new rule for the Sportsman and Super Stocks that they must display their last name in large block letters on the bottom of their right side door, as many excited fan's gave this a ringing endorsement.
New Egypt fans will see all of this and more next Saturday, April 7, when the track presents its season opening "Easter Bunny Hop" program, sponsored by Agin Signs and A-1 Racing Products. The Advantage Financial/Cradle Rock Developers Rookies will be sharing the bill with big-block Modifieds, Sportsman, and Super Stocks. Gates open at 3:00 pm with the first green flag at 5 pm.

New Egypt Modifieds To Race Under DIRT Banner In 2007 New Egypt, NJ (March 3, 2007)
This year marks the start of a new era at New Egypt Speedway. When the 2007 season gets underway on Saturday April 7th, the big-block Modifieds will be competing as part of DIRT Motorsports for the first time on a weekly basis.

"It is very exciting to be a part of such a great organization as DIRT," stated new owner and promoter Bill Miscoski, who along with partner Fred Vahlsing purchased the speedway in January. "The talent level of our weekly competitors is second to none. With DIRT's long standing reputation for producing top-notch Modified competition, I am proud that our drivers will have the chance to compete against the best."
In addition, New Egypt will now be a part of the new DIRTcar Regional Championship Series, with drivers competing in the East Region against competitors from Lebanon Valley, Orange County and Airborne Speedways. This series will award points for the best 12 finishes at DIRTcar sanctioned events within the region. The top 15 drivers will share in the $6725 point fund, with $1800 going to the champion.
New Egypt Speedway will also play host to several DIRT touring series events this season.

Packed House at Friday Night's New Egypt Speedway Pre-Season Bash posted 1/23
Brian and Ryan Godown, John Keller, Dave Seip and many, many others at New Egypt Speedway's Pre-Season Event held at the Gambler's Ridge Golf Course in Cream Ridge, NJ on Friday, Jan 19th.
This past Friday night (Jan 13th) New Egypt Speedway held their annual "Winter Jam" at the Gambler Ridge Golf Club located just minutes away from the track. This offseason gathering has turned out to be very popular among the drivers, officals, and fans and this year was no different. Hundreds of people braved the cold weather which made for a standing room only crowd.
There were over 100 pit licenses sold, and almost every parking spot on the top pit section was purchased. New co-owner Bill Miscoski couldn't have asked for a better start to the 2007 racing season. "This place is packed. I'm very happy of the support we've been shown here tonight and last week down at Motorsports," voiced Miscoski. Mr. Miscoski went on to say, "This is going to be a banner year for us here at NES. We've been told that we can't succeed and that there are doubters out there who don't believe in us. I think actions speak louder than words....look at this place!"
Race Director Mike "Suitcase" Sanchelli along with his two tech inspectors Joe Swed and Chris Ryan were on hand to answer all the questions concerning the rules for all classes. There were many questions surrounding some of the rules pertaining to the sportsman division and in a show of good faith, NES management sat down and talked with many of the sportsman competitors. "We're willing to work with these guys," said Miscoski. Miscoski went on to say, "Our sportsman class draws more cars than any other division and they're very loyal to NES. We need to listen to their concerns and make whatever adjustments are necessary."
New chief starter Warren Alston was also there helping out while getting to know the drivers he'll be working with this year. Track co-announcer Nick Leach, track photographers Jim Brown and Rev. Dan Schaffer were also in attendance along with many other NES officials. There was plenty of food and drink along with racing videos for everyone to enjoy at the yearly function.
If any drivers are interested in purchasing track licenses or pit spots, the track office will now be open from 9am to 4pm Monday through Friday starting January 22nd. Hoosier tires will also be available at the track for the drivers to purcahse in two weeks.
New Owners at New Egypt
12/2/06 - Source 3Wide
As rumored earlier this year, former Super Stock driver and car owner Bill Miscoski and a partner will become the new owner of the New Egypt Speedway. The 2 new owners were on hand at the New Egypt Speedway Awards Banquet in Atlantic City on Saturday, 12/2 when the announcement was officially made.
Miscoski, a successful business man and respected member of local government, has his racing roots in drag racing, but also enjoys the excitement of oval track competition. In addition to a saturday night racing program featuring a variety of classes, speculation is that Bill may consider bringing Late Model's to New Egypt on selected Friday evenings. He recently had the opportunity to visit a few speedways that featured this class and thought it could be a good fit for New Jersey.
Bill has been very supportive of auto racing as a fan, in his roll in local government, as a competitor, as a car owner, and now he'll have the opportunity to take that passion for the sport and use it to guide him in taking New Egypt Speedway into the future.
We appreciate the work that the the Grosso Family has done to make New Egypt Speedway one of the premier short tracks in the country.
Announcements will follow regarding any changes to the racing program.

New Egypt Stars Commemorate Another Stellar Year
New Egypt, NJ (December 2, 2006) -- New Egypt Speedway racers celebrated the end of the 2006 season in style on Saturday night, with over $50,000 in point fund awards being distributed during the track's annual banquet at the exotic Trump Taj Mahal Casino in Atlantic City, NJ.
Thirty-six drivers in five divisions shared the point awards and the night's honors. Modified champion Jimmy Horton of Neshanic Station, NJ was the top honoree: Horton's six wins and 18 top ten finishes in 21 starts won him the $10,000 top prize and his second New Egypt track title in the past three years. Veteran Gary Butler of Phillipsburg, NJ, claimed the $3,000 Sportsman division title, also his second title in the last three years at New Egypt. Cranbury, NJ's Al Cheney repeated in the Super Stock ranks for the second time in his career, taking the $1,500 championship for the first time since 2001. Claiming his third straight title was Art Liedl Jr. of Flemington, NJ, in the Haldeman Ford SS Sprint division, while Bryan Driver, Pennington, NJ, and Mike Smith, Hamilton, NJ were co-champs in the Rookie Sportsman Series and collected $625 each from sponsors Advantage Financial Mortgage Bankers and Cradle Rock Developers.
In addition to the cash awards, the top drivers in all divisions also received trophies courtesy of Sunoco Racing Fuels and The Checkered Flag Fan Club, along with championship jackets from American Racer distributor Lias Tire and Hoosier Tire East.
Before a large crowd of race fans, New Egypt's "dynamic duo" of Pete Wortman and Nick Leach served as black-tie masters of ceremony for the evening, presenting each driver with their winnings along with several special awards.
The Most Improved Driver Awards went to John Keller (Modified), Tim Apgar (Sportsman) and Jason Bubeck (Super Stock). Mark Blackwell, crew chief & mechanic for both Rick Grosso & Jimmy Horton, was presented with Mechanic of the Year honors. Both of these cars finished the year in the top five of the Modified point standings.
In addition, 20 drivers were presented with Loyalty Awards for perfect attendance in 2006.
Corporate sponsors receiving special recognition for their support and involvement in the speedway's continued success were Haldeman Ford, Perlmutter Family ShopRite Superstores & Vespia Tire & Auto Care.

Martz Forgoes Frills, Flies To New Egypt Third (posted 10/01/06)
New Egypt, NJ (September 30, 2006) -- How secure was Sam Martz that his winning Modified shouldn't be touched? The man from Somerville, NJ, was confident enough to bring his by-the-book race car to Saturday's "Run Watcha Brung" event at New Egypt Speedway -- a no-rules program where wings and aerodynamic things prove a huge advantage -- and walk away with his third feature win a row.
"I'm still trying to get over that DIRT show -- I think these last three weeks are making up for it," said Martz, 38, referring to his domination of the August 16 tour race before a broken axle put him in the pits late in the game. "I'd like to thank everyone who's stood behind me -- my wife and kids, my mom and dad. They've always been
there for me, and it's finally paying off."
A winged Tom Carberry led the charge in the 30-lap Modified race, with Ryan Godown, in a traditional-bodied car, hot on his heels. Godown slipped under T.C. for the lead on lap 7, with hard-luck Carberry slowing and dropping from the action four laps later. Godown was showing how it's done way out front, when suddenly, at the
halfway mark, a lapped car veered into his path and wiped Ryan off the slate.
And Martz was right there to take full advantage of Godown's misfortune. With the winged beasts of Rick Holsten and Bob Drayton beating and banging behind him and on top of him, the cuke-cool Martz simply held his line and maintained his composure to cruise under the flags for his third consecutive victory. Holsten was second, his best
finish ever, with invader Wade Hendrickson in third. In a last-ditch bid to take second from Holsten, Drayton completely looped it in turn 4, kept going and shot across the line in fourth. 2006 Mod champ Jimmy Horton was fifth.
With the pressure of racing for championship points behind him, newly crowned division titleholder Gary Butler of Phillipsburg, NJ, bolted some high sail panels on his car and went out and won his first of the year in the 20-lap Sportsman fray. Butler held off a determined charge by Rich Scagliotta, who finished second. Justin Hoffman, Rick Beavers and Billy Tanner IV completed the top five.
The kitted up stock car of Easton, PA's Kory Fleming out-and-out dominated the 20-lap Super Stock event. Fleming scored his third of the year over Mick Search, 2006 division champ Al Cheney III, George Quinlan and Spider Ensinger Jr.
For the Haldeman Ford SS Sprint race, three-time division champion Art Liedl of Flemington, NJ, bolted on a full-size Sprint wing and blasted everyone else into oblivion, to take his sixth feature win of the season. Ed Hughes, Rick Cozze, Steve Wilson and Bob Drayton, in a first-time SS Sprint ride, were chasing at the end.
The Vespia Tire & Auto Care Lightning Lap bonuses for fastest laps in qualifying went to Dave Hunt (Sportsman, 17.732), Al Cheney III (Super Stock, 18.307), and Art Liedl (SS Sprint, 16.605).
Saturday's racing program was the final event of the season at New Egypt Speedway. The track will honor its 2006 champions at the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Hotel in Atlantic City on Saturday, December 2.

Flyin' Ryan Breaks Through At New Egypt (posted 09/10/06)
New Egypt, NJ (September 9, 2006) -- Suffering thus far through a maddening season of also-rans, rotten luck and rueful decisions, 2004 Superstars of Stock Car Racing Series champion Ryan Godown of Ringoes, NJ, finally had things go his way Saturday night at New Egypt Speedway, claiming his very first Modified checker of the year on Legends Night.
"This has been a frustrating, uphill battle here this year. Sometimes you lose your cool, and sometimes you start to doubt yourself," Godown, 31, admitted in victory lane. "I owe it to my crew -- by brother Butch, his girlfriend Judy and Craig Cronce -- for sticking by me. They pulled me through this tough time."
It was a wild 30-lap Modified main event -- and Ryan wasn't a winning factor in the early going. Then, it was Joey Tinnes Jr., three-wheeling it high and wide out front, while "Top Cat" Tom Carberry stayed attached to the leader like a Siamese twin, pulling even lap after lap after lap. Carberry eventually made his low-line move stick on lap 21, with Ryan Godown following through to show second after an erratic first half. Two laps later, Godown turned up the wick for good and ralleyed around Carberry for the lead.
Carberry had a great run ripped out from under him when his car broke on the last turn of the final lap. At the flags it was all Godown, in for his long-awaited first of the year, the 10th of his NES career. Brother Brian Godown, a two-time Mod winner in 2006, came on for second, with Tim Tanner Jr. third, Rick Grosso fourth and Joey Tinnes Jr. in fifth. Carberry coasted across the stripe to end up sixth. Jimmy Horton was an early retiree from the event, breaking a spindle on lap 2, but still holds a commanding lead in the championship points chase.
Rich Scagliotta of Bound Brook, NJ, showed why he's the all-time winningest driver in the Sportsman class, taking his fifth of the year in the division's 20-lap tussle. August 19 winner Mike Lyons was right on Scags at the end, but came away with second-place money. Willie Osmun, John Romano Jr. and Billy Tanner IV completed the top five. Gary Butler, who finished 11th, continues as top point man.
It was number three on the year for New Egypt's own Jake Roveda in the caution-marred Super Stock 20. Roveda won a spirited battle over current division points leader George Quinlan, Mick Search, Bob Vaccaro and Spider Ensinger Jr.
Two-time champion Art Liedl Jr. of Flemington, NJ, continues to dominate in the Haldeman Ford SS Sprint ranks. Liedl scored his fourth of the season, has not finished out of the top two in any race this year, and continues to sit atop the division points standings. Kevin Nagy, early race leader Tom Wyckoff, John Snook and Dale Gardner chased Liedl at the checkers.
The Vespia Tire & Auto Care Lightning Lap bonuses for fastest laps in timed dash qualifying went to Gary Butler (Sportsman, 17.643), George Quinlan (Super Stock, 18.859), and Dale Gardner (SS Sprint, 16.687).
As part of its Legends Night program, paying tribute to the history of the sport, nostalgia buff Joe Macfarlan coordinated a popular display of memorabilia and the Garden State Vintage Stock Car Club had some beautifully restored stock cars on display and on the track. Paul Weaver won the 10-lap exhibition event for the vintage stocks. In addition, racing heroes like Frankie Schneider, Glenn Fitzcharles, Bob Pickell, Ken Brenn Jr., Red Coffin, Jim Horton Sr. and Bob Rossell reminisced with fans and signed autographs.
A helmet drive to raise funds for the Matheny School for Cerebral Palsied Children netted $1001.44.
Next Saturday, September 16, New Egypt Speedway presents Caribbean Night, sponsored by CheapCaribbean.com. On the race card: big-block Modifieds, Sportsman, Super Stocks and the Haldeman Ford SS Sprints. And three lucky fans will win a fabulous seven-day vacation package to the island of St. Martin, complete with airfare and hotel accommodations, courtesy of CheapCaribbean.com.

Hoffman Has Big Weekend, Wins New Egypt (posted 8/19/06)
New Egypt, NJ (August 19, 2006) -- 2001 Modified champion Keith Hoffman of Whitehall, PA, finally got the monkey off his back, winning his first of the season Saturday at New Egypt Speedway on a night sponsored by Vespia Tire & Auto Care.
"What a way to get out of a slump! We won last night at Big Diamond, and now we won here tonight. Jim Scherer's given me a good car, and we were finally able to take it to the winner's circle," said Hoffman, 39, who hasn't visited victory lane at New Egypt since September 2005. "It really feels good to win two this weekend. The year is definitely getting better."
Division rookie Rich Rutski set the early pace in the 30-lap Modified feature, enjoying a comfortable lead from the drop of the green until about lap 20. That's when Hoffman -- hustling it up hard from a 14th starting position -- began to put the pressure on. Rutski put up a brief fight for the top spot, but succumbed to Hoffman's heated advances on lap 22. Three-time Modified champ Billy Pauch made his presence known in the waning laps, but wasn't quite able to chase down Hoffman. At the checkers, it was Hoffman, in for his 20th career win at New Egypt, over Pauch, Rutski, Dominick Buffalino and Bucky Kell. Jimmy Horton, who finished 11th after tangling with Ryan Godown with five laps remaining, continues to lead the championship point chase by a wide margin.
Teammates Mike Lyons of Monroe Twp., NJ, and Gene Stravinsky of New Egypt, NJ, squared off and went one-on-one for bragging rights in the Sportsman 20, with Lyons taking the upper hand with two laps remaining to collect his third of the year. Stravinsky settled for the bridesmaid slot, with Keith Fleming, Glenn Hisko and Willie Osmun following. Despite finishing 20th, Gary Butler still leads the division point standings.
Bayville, NJ's Spider Ensinger Jr. beat back the formidable challenges thrown down by Al Cheney III and George Quinlan, to motor in for his second of the year in the Super Stock main event. Cheney, Quinlan, Jake Roveda and Todd Cray cruised in behind the Spiderman. Quinlan remains the division points leader.
Former Mod driver Dale Gardner, Phillipsburg, NJ, rode an emotional roller coaster in the Haldeman Ford SS Sprint race. Gardner, a division rookie, led all but the first go-round of the 15-lap event, only to be stripped of his first victory after his car failed to make minimum weight at the scales. That moved Rick Cozze of Pittstown, NJ, into victory circle for the first time ever. Top point man Art Liedl, Craig Martin, Ian Borden and Kevin Nagy took the next four spots.
The Vespia Tire & Auto Care Lightning Lap bonuses for fastest laps in timed dash qualifying went to Mike Krachun (Sportsman, 18.241), Al Cheney III (Super Stock, 19.554), and John Snook (SS Sprint, 17.243).
The racing program also featured the track's King of the Crew Chiefs timed pitstop challenge, presented by Vespia Tire & Auto Care. Crewmen Brent Tittle and Chip Morgan of Frank Cozze's #44 Modified were the fast guns in the tire-changing contest, collecting the $200 first-place prize and custom plaques, courtesy of Vespia Tire & Auto Care. Finalists Dave Seip and Steve Davis, mechanics for Mike Lyons' Sportsman, and Jimmy and John Carpenter, of Bob Vaccaro's Super Stock team, also received cash awards.
Cozze crew makes fast work of the Vespia Crew Chief Challenge!

Martz's Loss Is Fuller's Gain In New Egypt DIRT 100 (posted 8/17/06)
New Egypt, NJ (August 16, 2006) -- Local runner Sam Martz of Somerville, NJ, showed everyone the way in an eye-opening performance - but when the leader's mount broke a right-rear axle coming around for lap 69, defending series champion Tim Fuller, Edwards, NY, picked up the reins to ride in for a $6,000 victory in Wednesday night's Advance Auto Parts Modified Super DIRT Series Garden State Gunfight at New Egypt Speedway.
"He was gone. I couldn't run that pace," Fuller, 38, said about the high-flyin' Martz. "Here, the lead is everything. You can run your own line. This track is not what we're used to in New York State --it's a little bumpy with a big cushion. But we had the right motor in. We weren't under-horsepowered. But that #3 car -- he ought to get a lot of credit. He ran a hell of a race."
Martz was a man on a veritable mission in the 100-lap Modified tour event, leading NES regular Jimmy Horton, a six-time winner in 2006, to the first green flag. Several caution slow downs, a blockade of lapped traffic -- nothing seemed to faze Martz as he kept all the comers with their impressive resumes behind him by a good distance. Some of the big boys suffered setbacks: Horton dropped from the race on lap 20; Matt Sheppard, a winner here last September, gave up third when he ducked to the pits on lap 48.
It was Martz -- completely in control and smooth as a waxed tabletop -- who led the talent-laden field, as lap after lap clicked off. The yellow flew on lap 65 as Danny Johnson's car went up in a cloud of smoke. And then abruptly, on the ensuing restart three laps later, leader Martz pulled to the high side, his car crippled by a broken right-rear axle. His big night was over.
The swaggering DIRT guns were right there, with ammo blazing. Tim Fuller, who had tried in vain to keep pace with Martz until that point, grabbed the lead with authority, enjoying a 1.7 second advantage over his closest rival as the field jockeyed for position behind him. At the checkers, it was all Fuller, inking his third win of the '06 DIRT tour over fellow New Yorkers Billy Decker and Alan Johnson. Brett Hearn was fourth, with defending NES Mod champion Frank Cozze battling back from an early-race skirmish to take fifth. Billy Pauch, Pat Ward, Gary Tomkins, Billy Pauch Jr. and Dale Planck completed the top 10.
Frank Cozze of Wind Gap, PA, was the Integra Shocks fast-timer, clicking off a lap of 17.334 around the half-mile D-shaped oval. Heat races were won by Cozze, Alan Johnson, Sam Martz and Tim Fuller. Steve Bottcher topped the B Main.
The Sportsman class ran a stellar 20-lap feature event, with one lone caution flag slowing the pace. Glenn Hisko of Bridgewater, NJ, grabbed the winner's grand, passing Glenn Pyatt for the lead on lap 8. Last Saturday's winner Willie Osmun gave it his all to unseat Hisko, but came up one spot shy. Art Liedl, Pyatt and Jack Swain trailed the top two. It was Hisko's first trip to the winner's circle in two years.
The Vespia Tire & Auto Care Lightning Lap bonuses for the fast timers went to Frank Cozze (Modified, 17.344) and John Stangle (Sportsman, 18.323).
This Saturday, August 19, Vespia Tire & Auto Care presents the King of the Crew Chiefs Pitstop Challenge at New Egypt Speedway, with prize money to the top three race car mechanics. Big-block Modifieds, Sportsman, Super Stocks and the Haldeman Ford SS Sprints are on the race card. Gates open at 4 pm, with first green at 6:30 pm.

Horton And Coverdale Are Late-Race Aces At New Egypt (Posted 8/13/06)
New Egypt, NJ (August 12, 2006) -- Two crafty veterans -- Jimmy Horton of Neshanic Station, NJ, in the Modified class and Milford, DE's Greg Coverdale in the touring URC Sprint ranks -- used their wiles to pull off 11th hour heroics at New Egypt Speedway on Saturday, winning their respective feature events during a program sponsored by Kodiak Truck & Auto Center.
"He's one hell of a driver. He's been running good, and we both wanted it," Horton said of competitor Sam Martz. "I just hit the corner right. It's all about luck. Now, we've just got to come back and do it on Wednesday," he bottom-lined, referring to this week's big Super DIRT Series tour special at the track.
Horton was a late-bloomer in the 30-lap Modified main event, as Ken Carberry, Mike Hendershot, and then Ryan Godown held the lead in the early stages. But during a lengthy caution for a multi-car tangle on lap 18, leader Godown abruptly ducked into the pits with a left-rear flat. Sam Martz then picked up the pace, with Frank Cozze giving him a fit, while Horton just bided his time. With three laps remaining, Horton -- a five-time winner already in 2006 and the current top man in the points chase -- came on like a house afire, sweeping into second. One solid pass for the lead was negated by a final yellow flag -- but it didn't deter Horton, who set up Martz on the final tour and hustled in for his sixth of the season. Martz, Cozze, Keith Hoffman and Billy Pauch crossed the line behind Horton.
Another last-call hustle knocked race-long leader Brian Seidel from the point in the companion URC Sprint event, as Greg Coverdale turned up the steam in the final four of a caution-plagued 25 laps to score his 7th win at New Egypt, the milestone 50th of his career with the URC Sprint organization. Seidel was a stalwart second -- amazing, since he broke the rear-end in his car in hot laps, changed the component, qualified in his heat, then led most of the distance. Former Modified pilot Mark Bitner was third, Jason Clauss was fourth, and Kevin Welsh finished fifth.
"After a two-and-a-half year layoff (from racing), the crew's been real patient with me as we try to get the car back to form," said Coverdale, who had a dismal finish the night prior at Penn-Can. "This was a real good ending to a bad weekend."
Willie Osmun, Bloomsbury, NJ, finally got back on track in the 15-lap Sportsman fray, grabbing the lead on lap 7 to take his first checker since May 27. Tim Apgar, Art Liedl, current division points leader Gary Butler and Mike Krachun trailed Osmun at the stripe.
Mick Search of Allentown, NJ, wired the Super Stock 15, leading every lap in the non-stop event to win his first of the year, the second of his career, over George Quinlan, who continues to top the championship point chart. Billy Bauer, Al Cheney III and 1998 division champ Jeff Carpenter, making his first start of the season, completed the top five.
The Vespia Tire & Auto Care Lightning Lap bonuses for fastest laps in timed dash qualifying went to Gene Stravinsky (Sportsman, 17.998) and Kory Fleming (Super Stock, 19.348).
This Wednesday, August 16, New Egypt hosts the Advance Auto Parts Super DIRT Series Garden State Gunfight, a 100-lap tour race featuring the best Modified drivers in the business. Also on the race card: a 20-lap Sportsman race, paying $1,000 to win. Gates open at 4:30 pm, with first green at 7:30 pm. Adult admission is $22, children 7-12 are $7, and kids 6 and under are free.

Veterans Swain, Pauch On A Mission At New Egypt (Posted 8/6/06)
New Egypt, NJ (August 5, 2006) -- A pair of veterans weren't to be swayed from scoring their second victories of the season Saturday at New Egypt Speedway, with Jack Swain of Pilesgrove, NJ, turning in a picture-perfect performance to win the coveted Sportsman Winner's Challenge, sponsored by Burnett Racing Engines, while Frenchtown, NJ's Billy Pauch finally got the monkey off his back to take the win in the Modified event.
"This T/K motor never missed a beat! (Engine builders) Mike and Ralph Truppi came to the shop during the week, to make adjustments," the exultant Swain crowed after inking his second of 2006 in the biggest Sportsman race of the year. "We tried a new shock package tonight, and I've got to thank Bobby Balaam for that. And, of course, (crew chief) Dale Stewart. We got great results! It's a lot of fun racing here. I'm surrounded by all good people."
The format for the Sportsman Winner's Challenge put all top-timing non-winners up front in the 25-lap event, which awarded double championship points and bonus bucks. Swain started fifth by luck of the draw -- and made his presence known almost immediately, relieving Dave Hunt of the lead on lap 10 after a heated bit of real side-by-side racing. Once out front, Swain never relinquished control, taking the title, the points, the winnings, the four-foot trophy and a $250 bonus, courtesy of Burnett Racing Engines. It was Swain's second of the year, the 14th of his career at New Egypt. Hunt, in only his ninth appearance at the track, was a solid second and pocketed the $250 bonus for the first non-winner across the line. Pat Wall, Mike Krachun and current division points leader Gary Butler trailed Swain and Hunt at the final flag.
After a frustrating four weeks of bum finishes, the track's all-time winningest driver finally got back on track in the 30-lap Modified main. Billy Pauch used the low line to grab the reins on lap 7 and never, ever looked back -- enjoying a six-second lead over his closest competitor at various points in the run. Although a spinning Sam Martz gave Pauch a scare in traffic on lap 24 and 2001 track champ Keith Hoffman came on like gangbusters in the final five, Pauch was not to be denied his second of the year, his first since opening day way back in April. Hoffman was second, current top point man
Jimmy Horton was third, with Ron John Koczon rocketing from 19th to fourth. Billy Pauch Jr. was fifth.
"We needed a win like this," Pauch, 49, bottom-lined, then talked about luck being a factor. "Sammy Martz clipped the inside rail and I thought he was going to take me out. But someone was looking out for me up there."
A pumped-up Bryan Reed, Howell, NJ, survived a caution-plagued Super Stock feature to take his first-ever checker over Jason Bubeck and Al Cheney III. Billy Bauer crossed the line fourth but was DQed when his car failed to make minimum weight. That moved Matt Kall to fourth and
Kenny Guyer to fifth. George Quinlan, who finished 12th, still leads the point standings.
John Snook of Bordentown, NJ, snatched his first of the year in the Haldeman Ford SS Sprint class. Snook overtook leader Dan Wall in lapped traffic with four laps remaining in the 15-lap fray, and motored in for the win over current division points leader Art Liedl, Wall, Ian Borden and Ed Hughes.
The Vespia Tire & Auto Care Lightning Lap bonuses for fastest laps in timed dash qualifying went to Gene Stravinsky (Sportsman, 18.114), Pat Freiberger (Super Stock, 19.536) and Dan Wall (SS Sprint, 17.201).
The track's first-ever Ugliest Car Contest was won by Frank Jones of New Egypt.
Next Saturday, August 12, the popular URC Sprint Cars return to New Egypt for the third time this year, sponsored by Kodiak Truck & Auto Center. Big-block Mods, Sportsman and Super Stocks share the race card. Gates open at 4 p.m. with first green at 6:30 p.m. Adult admission is $20, children 7-12 are $6, and kids 6 and under are free.

New Egypt, NJ (July 29, 2006) -- On a night where the winner's prize monies were doubled in honor of an ill race fan, Frenchtown, NJ's Brian Godown made it happen when it counted to collect a cool $5,000 for 30 laps' effort at New Egypt Speedway on Saturday, with Pennsy travelers Michele Miller and Andy Martin splitting the two wingless ARDC Midget events. The evening's program was sponsored by Century 21 B&R Realty and their affiliates and friends.
"I saw Billy (Pauch) jump out to the lead and I thought that was it. Then Sammy (Martz) -- I don't know what happened to him. And I think Jimmy (Horton) got by us but then he bobbled there," said Godown, 35, who won his first Mod race at NES on May 13. About the $5Gs: "We'll use it to rebuild this motor. We had a valve job and this engine was leaking about 10 percent in each cylinder. We're just a little team," he explained. "We don't have what the other guys have in their cars. I was just driving the lights out of this thing!"
It was a wild run for the money in the Modified main. Three-time track champ Billy Pauch had the lead until his car abruptly lost power on lap 11. Sammy Martz then picked up the point, looking strong until he blasted into the fourth corner too hot on lap 22 and lost the handle. That put Flyin' Brian on the pole -- with big-man-on-campus Jimmy Horton, up from 12th and breathing on his bumper. Godown, however, was up to the challenge. His younger brother Ryan, the track's 2004 Superstars champion, came up to make his bid at the end -- a real Godown Showdown for the fans. But it was Brian at the line, good for his second win and five grand, over Ryan, defending champ Frank Cozze, current points leader Horton and Keith Hoffman.
The first of two ARDC Midget mains had a thriller finish, with Andy Martin making a brazen slingshot move on leader Michele Miller on the white-flag lap. Miller, 28, of Reading, PA, held him off to take her second career win with the club. Martin, Doug Rose, Donnie Trent and Billy Pauch Jr., picking up a ride in Doug Starrett's car, completed the top five.
Martin, 26, ARDC's 2005 Rookie of the Year, redeemed himself in the nightcap, taking his second of the year over a late-blooming Billy Pauch Jr., Donnie Trent, Carey Becker and Doug Rose.
Billy Tanner IV, Newtown, PA, was the survivor in the caution-plagued Sportsman race, retaking the lead from current division points leader Gary Butler with two to go to score his first-ever victory, worth a very nice $1,500. Butler, Mike Howardson, Rich Scagliotta and John McClelland completed the top five.
Kory Fleming of Easton, PA, was a man on a mission in the 20-lap Super Stock race, convincingly taking his second of the season and the $1,000 top prize. Al Cheney III, current top point man in the division George Quinlan, Larry Reed and Billy Bauer followed Fleming across the stripe.
Friends of Mike, a close-knit group of race fans, doubled the winner's share in the Modified, Sportsman and Super Stock classes on this night, and awarded an additional $2,500 in racer bonuses throughout the field, to honor their seriously ill friend, Mike Rogie of Cookstown, NJ. Ironically, it was learned that Rogie succumbed to cancer and passed away earlier in the afternoon.
The Vespia Tire & Auto Care Lightning Lap bonuses for fastest laps in timed dash qualifying went to Rich Scagliotta (Sportsman, 17.964) and Al Cheney III (Super Stock, 19.214).
Century 21 B&R Realty, along with their affiliates, showered the grandstands with over 1,000 giveaways, and awarded great prizes to winners of the track's annual Banner Night competition. On the racers' end, Century 21 B&R Realty awarded a $100 bonus to 21st place finishers in all three regular divisions.
Next Saturday at New Egypt Speedway, August 5, Burnett Racing Engines presents the track's annual Sportsman Winner's Challenge, an extra-distance race featuring bonus bucks, double points and a whole bunch of twists in the format. Modifieds, Super Stocks and the Haldeman Ford SS Sprints are also on the night's bill, plus fans can enter their street vehicles in the track's first-ever ugliest car contest. Gates open at 4 pm with first green at 6:30 pm. Adult admission is $17, children 7-12 are $5, and kids 6 and under are free.

Friends of Mike Double New Egypt Winner's Purse
New Egypt, NJ (July 17, 2006
A close-knit group of race fans are planning to honor their seriously ill friend by dedicating a night of racing to him at New Egypt Speedway and doubling the winner's share of the purse in four divisions.
Mike Rogie, 38, a long-time race fan and steadfast supporter of New Egypt Speedway, was diagnosed with lung cancer this past winter.
Since then, the disease has spread to his brain and throughout his body.
"Mike is not a quitter by any means, but this is one thing that cannot be beaten," admitted Danny Serrano, who helped to organize the bonus event. "I wish we could get Mike to the track for just one more race, but that is not going to be possible at this point in time."
In Mike Rogie's honor, the Friends of Mike plan to double the winner's prize money in New Egypt's regular four divisions. On Saturday, July 29, the scheduled 30-lap Modified feature will pay $5,000 to win, with the winner's take in the Sportsman class doubling to $1,500, and the Super Stock winner collecting $1,000 for his efforts. As the touring ARDC Midgets will be replacing New Egypt's SS Sprint division on July 29, the Haldeman Ford SS Sprint class will race for double the money -- $1,000 -- on a later date, to be announced.
Friends of Mike will be out in force to honor their good buddy on Saturday, July 29, when New Egypt Speedway presents Midget Madness, featuring the sole 2006 appearance of the wingless ARDC Midgets. Big-block Modifieds, Sportsman and Super Stocks complete the race program, all racing for twice the winner's share of the regular purse.
Gates open at 4 pm on Saturday, July 29, with first green at 6:30 pm. Adult admission is $18, children 7-12 are $6, and kids 6 and under
are free. New Egypt Speedway is located on Route 539, just minutes from Six Flags Great Adventure and the NJ Turnpike. For further details, call the track office at (609) 758-1900 or log on to www.newegyptspeedway.net .
Tanner And Gollub In New Egypt Victory Lane
New Egypt, NJ (July 15, 2006) --
A pair of Pennsy pilots -- Modified driver Tim Tanner Jr. of Doylestown in the Modified ranks and Gary Gollub of Mohnton in the touring URC Sprint class -- flew into the winner's circle at New Egypt Speedway on Saturday, sweeping to their respective feature wins during a program sponsored by Opdyke Lumber.
"I've been hoping to get two in one year," said Tanner, 31, who won at NES on May 20. Prior to 2006, he'd recorded five single wins in five different seasons. His secret tonight? "Billy Pauch told me years ago that you've got to drive it into every corner like it's the last corner. I didn't forget that. Pauch gave me a wake-up call when he passed me out there -- and then it was 'on.'"
Tanner, Sam Martz and three-time track champion Billy Pauch raced tight and torrid in the beginning of the 30-lap Mod main, with both Martz and Tanner swapping the top spot until the savvy Pauch really got going. On lap 15, Pauch blew around Martz, then zeroed in on Tanner, taking the lead two laps later in one of his patented fence-hugging power slides. But it didn't last long: on lap 20, Pauch rode over the cushion and was forced to limp his car into the pits. Bucky Kell, Billy Pauch Jr. and defending champ Frank Cozze tried to make it a race at the end, but Tanner held sway, bringing it home for his second of the season. Kell, a fast-closing Cozze, Pauch Jr. and Martz completed the top five. Jimmy Horton, who finished sixth, still
leads the championship points chase.
It was an equally satisfying night for veteran racer Gary Gollub, 57, who hustled to his first win in four years in the companion URC Sprint event. A two-time URC champion in the 1970s, Gollub looked like a youngster on the track, surviving an early flurry of yellow flags and then a last-ditch challenge by Junior Martin to score the long-awaited return to the victory circle. Martin was second, with Mares Stellfox third, Brook Weibley fourth and Jamie Bodo fifth. The 25-lap event began with a scary double flip on the frontsretch, involving Greg Coverdale and Bill Brian Jr. Neither driver was injured.
"I was starting to lose faith in myself," Gollub admitted. "The wins certainly don't come as quick as they used to. But I have fun doing it, so why give it up?"
Mike Lyons, Monroe Twp., NJ, finally solved his ongoing engine woes and triumphantly returned to victory lane in the Sportsman fray, scoring his second of the year over current division points leader Gary Butler, last week's winner John Romano Jr., Jack Swain and Willie Osmun.
New Egypt's own Jake Roveda also inked his second of 2006, leading pole to pole in the 15-lap Super Stock race. Todd Cray, Mick Search, Kory Fleming and Roveda's teammate Larry Reed trailed the winner at the final flags. George Quinlan, who finished ninth, continues to sit atop the division point standings.
The Vespia Tire & Auto Care Lightning Lap bonuses for fastest laps in timed dash qualifying went to Rich Scagliotta (Sportsman, 18.308) and Pat Freiberger (Super Stock, 19.352)
Next Saturday, July 22, Century 21 B&R Realty presents Banner Night at New Egypt Speedway, with great prizes for kids and adults who create the best fan banners. Big-block Modifieds, Sportsman, Super Stocks and SS Sprints lead the card. Gates open at 4 pm, with first green at 6:30 pm. Adult admission is $16, children 7-12 are $5, and kids 6 and under are free. For more information, call the speedway office at (609) 758-1900 or log on to www.newegyptspeedway.net.

NST Event of NES Schedule
New Egypt, NJ (July 14, 2006)
The necessity to postpone ticket sales after the untimely death of National Sprint Tour promoter Fred Brownfield on June 16, and the uncertainty of the Brownfield family's involvement in the series following the tragedy, has led New Egypt Speedway management to cancel their NST event, scheduled for Tuesday, August 1.
New Egypt Speedway promoters and the new owners of the National Sprint Tour have agreed to reschedule the event in 2007.

It's Jolly St. Rick At New Egypt
New Egypt, NJ (July 8, 2006)
With bells jingling and Santa himself rockin' down at New Egypt Speedway, Belle Mead, NJ's Rick Grosso frosted the Modified field on Saturday night, winning his first of the year as a gift to his six-year-old son, during Christmas in July festivities sponsored by Advantage Financial Mortgage Bankers.
"My son (Brandon) told me on the way home last night (after racing Quarter Midgets at Atco) -- 'Daddy, I've got two wins in a row, and you've got none!' I had to do it for him tonight," said Grosso, 37, as he accepted congratulations from teammate Jimmy Horton in victory lane. With Horton's wins added in, the Grosso team counts six NES scores on the season. "Mark (Blackwell) has this car dialed in; and with Tony Feil power under the hood, this thing is unbelievable."
Sam Martz was a man on a mission in the early going of the 30-lap Modified main event, until his mount failed him 11 laps in. On the ensuing restart, Grosso -- who started 13th -- ultimately made the move that made his night, sweeping from fifth to third in one fluid motion. Two laps later he was second; Grosso's #R24 then got a tremendous bite off turn 2 to power into the lead on lap 17. Defending Modified champion Frank Cozze mustered up a valid bid in the late going, almost coming within striking distance in the final two. But it was all Rick Grosso and the checkered, in for his first of the year, the third of his career. Cozze was second, with Ryan Godown finishing third and Grosso teammate and current points leader Jimmy Horton rallying from 22nd to take fourth. John Keller was fifth.
John Romano Jr. of New Egypt outclassed the field to win his second of the year in the Sportsman 20. Fast-timer Mike Krachun, Gene Stravinsky, Jack Swain and Billy Tanner IV followed the winner over the line. Gary Butler, who finished ninth, continues to sit atop the point standings.
It took a while to get going, but when it did, the 20-lap Super Stock match was Pat Freiberger's, his second of 2006. Kory Fleming was the heartbreak kid, as his car broke while he was position to challenge for the lead. At the finish, Freiberger was the man, with current top point-getter George Quinlan, Mick Search, Al Cheney III and Billy Bauer in tow.
When wire-to-wire winner Steve Wilson was found light at the scales and DQed, Kevin Nagy of East Brunswick, NJ, picked up the victory in the Haldeman Ford SS Sprint class, his third of the year. Division points leader Art Liedl, Ian Borden, John Snook and Dan Wall took the next four spots.
The Vespia Tire & Auto Care Lightning Lap bonuses for fastest laps in timed dash qualifying went to Mike Krachun (Sportsman, 18.243), Al Cheney III (Super Stock, 19.614) and Kevin Nagy (SS Sprint, 17.245).

Buff Tough, Takes New Egypt First
New Egypt, NJ (July 1, 2006)
Young Dominick Buffalino had the hot hand at New Egypt Speedway on Saturday night, leading wire to wire to win the Modified portion of a Big Bang holiday weekend special sponsored by Johanna Foods Inc. of Flemington, NJ. It was Buffalino's career-first Modified victory, worth $2,500.
"We've been this fast every week this year. Setting fast time, winning heat races. We've just had bad breaks and no luck," said Buffalino, 24, who was forced to sit on the sidelines for a couple of weeks earlier in the season, after hurting his primary engine. "I've got to thank Red (Triggs) for getting me here. He builds the motors. We're 50/50 partners on this deal, and I couldn't do it without him."
In his second year of Modified competition, Buffalino showed the way throughout the non-stop 30-lap main event, fending off repeated challenges from "Top Cat" Tom Carberry. T.C. had his best shot at unseating the young gun on lap 10, digging in hard to find an edge in the low lane and looking like he might be able to pull off the pass. Instead, Carberry lost the handle exiting turn 4 and had to use his wits and experience just to hang on to second. Division rookie Rich Rutski entered the picture, trying to make it a three-way. He had second momentarily -- but then, ironically, almost looped it in the same spot as Carberry with four laps remaining. At the checkers it was all Buffalino, in for a well-deserved first win, followed by Carberry, Rutski, Keith Hoffman and Ryan Godown. Jimmy Horton, who finished ninth, continues to sit atop the division point standings.
For the second consecutive week, Bound Brook, NJ's Rich Scagliotta was victorious in the time-limited Sportsman event, inking his fourth of the season. Chad Barney was second, Mike Krachun was third, with Glenn Hisko scored fourth and John Stangle finishing fifth. Dave Hunt came across the line in fourth, but was light at the scales and disqualified.
Second-generation racer Jason Bubeck, 31, of New Hope, PA, captured his career-first in the 20-lap Super Stock event. Bubeck scored the long-awaited victory over George Quinlan, Kory Fleming, current division points leader Al Cheney III, and Bryan Reed. Bill Miscoski Racing wound up putting a little extra ching in Bubeck's pocket, adding an extra $150 bonus to the winner's share.
Two-time division champion Art Liedl of Flemington, NJ, came on in the second half of the 15-lapper to win his third of the year in the Haldeman Ford SS Sprint class. John Snook, Kevin Nagy, Ian Borden and Ed Hughes trailed Liedl at the finish.
The Johanna Foods Inc. Big Bang Bonanza Modified match race was a dramatic crowd-pleaser, right down to the final flag. The series of eliminations saw the top 10 in points and one wild-card driver go one-on-one for one lap only, with $1,000 in cash and a four-foot trophy on the line, courtesy of Johanna Foods. 2004 Superstars champion Ryan Godown knocked off Frank Cozze in the very last run to collect $550 and the hardware, with Cozze winning five times for $250, Billy Pauch Jr. taking two matches for $100, and both Brian Godown and Dominick Buffalino winning one, for $50 each.
"We're trying to get to victory lane any way we can," said Godown, who's been shut out of the winner's circle thus far this season. "I'd rather this had happened later on tonight, but this'll do it."
The Vespia Tire & Auto Care Lightning Lap bonuses for fastest laps in timed dash qualifying went to Rich Scagliotta (Sportsman, 18.431), Jake Roveda (Super Stock, 19.909) and Art Liedl (SS Sprint, 17.418).
A spectacular display of holiday fireworks, compliments of the Grosso family, capped off the evening.
Next Saturday, July 8, it's Christmas in July at New Egypt Speedway, courtesy of Advantage Financial Mortgage Bankers. Big-block Modifieds, Sportsman, Super Stocks and the Haldeman Ford SS Sprints lead the race card. Fans who donate a new,unwrapped toy or make a $5 monetary donation to the U.S. Marines Toys for Tots drive will receive a chance to win big-ticket prizes, compliments of Advantage Financial. Gates open at 4 pm on July 9, with first green at 6:30 pm. Adults are $16, children 7-12 are $5, and kids 6 and under are free.
