NJXOR
Extreme Racing Ends Season At New Egypt Speedway
New
Egypt, NJ (September 26, 2009)
– The NJXOR Extreme Racing series ended its
season Saturday, September 26, at New Egypt Speedway. Pro Buggy driver
Bob Klaus of Freehold, NJ dominated the division all night to claim
the victory and the division’s season championship. Klaus led for
all but one lap of the feature event surrendering the lead briefly to
second place finisher Dave Lofland after the only battle for the lead
all evening on lap four. After recapturing the lead on lap 5, Klaus
went on to pull away from Lofland and dominate the remaining laps of
the event. Rounding out the top five in the Pro Buggy feature was
Dustin Pittman of Jefferson Hills, PA; Tom Suralo of Mays Landing, NJ;
and Tom Hood of Ashland, PA.
Also
in action on Saturday night were the 8 Cylinder Trucks, 4 and 6
Cylinder Truck, and Rock Buggy divisions. Michael Chavette of
Ellington, CT visited Victory Lane for the 8 Cylinder Trucks after
then-leader Jeremy Crone lost the lead on the final lap after hitting
the last jump with his front bumper and breaking going into the final
turn. Chavette had been fighting Crone for the top stop for the final
5 laps of the event and took over the lead after Crone’s troubles.
In
the 4 and 6 Cylinder Truck division Scott Morrison of Browns Mills, NJ
dominated the event taking the lead in the first turn on the first lap
and never looking back. While facing no serious challenge for the lead
in the 10-lap feature event, Morrison finished a full straight away
ahead of runner-up JW Scherm of Beachwood, NJ. As Morrison captured
the victory, Jeff Semmelrock of Willington, CT was crowned the 4 and 6
Cylinder Truck champion.
After
a hard fought battle in their second heat event that turned into their
feature event, Doug Bigelow captured the victory and championship in
the Rock Buggy division. Bigelow was challenged for the lead briefly
by competitor Lou Levy who found himself stuck in the final rock
hurdle and on fire. However, Levy quickly got out of his buggy and
extinguished the fire himself, but was done for the evening.
