Bob Drayton Breaks Into Victory Lane New Egypt, NJ (June 26, 2010) – One year to the day since his last Big Block Modified win, Bob Drayton of Southampton, NJ got his first win of the 2010 New Egypt season on Cradle Rock Developers Rookie Graduation night. With five laps to go and Billy Pauch leading Drayton was slowly reeling him. With three laps to go Drayton was right on Pauch’s bumper when Pauch suddenly slowed in turn 3 surrendering the lead indefinitely to Drayton. “It was a year ago tonight that we won and before that it was a nine year drought,” said an excited Drayton in Victory Lane. “We are lucky to get back here in a year. I know Pauch had problems, but we were catching him there at the end. My friends Keith and Katrina are here and she lost her sister a year ago so this is for them. I’m real happy about tonight. Next month is the peak of racing and the peak of my work season and my crew works with me both places. Without them I wouldn’t be able to race.”   At the drop of the green flag pole sitter Steve Haggan jumped to an early lead over Tom Carberry who was quickly challenged for second by Brad Freeman. The real mover in the first five laps was Pauch who was up to fifth after starting twelfth. On lap five Brian Truppi slowed going into turn three bringing out the caution, and on the ensuing restart Pauch took the lead. While Pauch pulled away from the field a hard charging Drayton had quietly made his way up to third by lap eight. A spin by Corey Anderson on lap 8 brought the field back to Pauch, who again quickly pulled away from the pack on the restart. The restart helped Drayton pass second place Carberry and set is sight on Pauch. While Drayton continued his pursuit of Pauch championship contenders Frank Cozze, Keith Hoffman, Rick Laubach, and Jimmy Horton powered their way into the top-10, with Cozze being the hardest charger in fifth. On lap 20 Cozze had caught third place Carberry and after exchanging some contact gained the position. The real excitement came when Pauch went into the three on lap 27 and began to slow because of a broken axle. Drayton took the lead in the next corner and went on to score the victory using small block power, while Pauch settled for eleventh. Frank Cozze crossed the line second followed by Tom Carberry,Jimmy Horton and Keith Hoffman. Rounding out the top ten were David VanHorn, Rick Laubach, Willie Osmun, Sam Martz, and last weeks winner Dominick Buffalino. Continuing his dominance of the Sportsman division, Rocco Infante of Robbinsville, NJ won his third feature of the season. Charging through the field after starting eighteenth, Infante grabbed the lead on lap 12 after passing Ryan Osborne who had a career performance night leading the first 12 laps of the race. Dave Hunt grabbed second on the last lap passing Osborne to to steal second. Rounding out the top-5 were Randy Yaple and Will Dupree. John Carpenter of Howell, NJ scored his second Outlaw Stock victory in a row with a dominating performance. Carpenter started tenth, but on lap five took over the lead. Defending champion Shanon Mongeau turned in a solid performance finishing second for his best finish of the season. Shanon was followed close behind by his father Rich Mongeau.
