Tim Apgar Pockets $1000 in Sportsman Headliner at New Egypt

 New Egypt, NJ (August 21, 2010) – Tim Apgar of Milford, NJ  picked up the second feature victory of the season & his career at New Egypt Speedway on Saturday night as he captured the 25 lap Sportsman feature event sponsored Wawa Food Stores. In a rare opportunity for the Sportsman to be the headline division, Apgar picked up the $1000 first prize in the extra distance event along with a guaranteed starting spot in the “John Romano Memorial 84” on Labor Day (9/6) evening.  Apgar held off Dave Hunt in a spirited battle for much of the first half of the race and then drove to victory by 1.4 seconds over runner-up Randy Yaple.

“This is great, I can’t believe we made it back to victory lane this quick,” an elated Apgar exclaimed, “It took so long to get my first that I never expected to get back here this fast! I need to thank all of my crew and sponsors for everything they do.”
 
Apgar shot to the lead at the start from the outside of the front row as Dave Hunt charged up behind him. Hunt had thoughts of his own to lead the pack and he tried desperately lap after lap thru several early race cautions to no avail.  Hunt finally got the lead by half of a car length on lap nine only to see Apgar charge back by again. A restart just past halfway saw Hunt get a great start diving under Apgar and pulling into the lead in turn one, only to see his car break in turn two and pull off the speedway done for the evening. With Hunt by the wayside, Apgar now had to deal with Randy Yaple who was on his rear bumper. However, Yaple did not have enough to challenge Apgar and had to settle for second. Marc Herman grabbed third from Mike Butler in the closing laps with Butler crossing the line fourth. George Quinlan, last week’s winner, raced home 5th after starting 24th. Rounding out the top ten were Clay Butler, Will Dupree, Mike Howardson, Gene Stravinsky and Ryan Beltz.

For only the third time in NES history, a Rookie Sportsman driver won a regular feature event in their Rookie season as Dave Damiano won the 20-lap Crate-1 Sportsman feature. Damiano started second and immediately opened up a 7 car length advantage over Rich Steele and Harry Marlin. Throughout the event Damiano controlled the first spot, racing away at will over the rest of the competition, even after restarts. In the end, Damiano crossed the line first capturing an impressive win for the driver who finished third in Rookie Points earlier this season.  Marlin came home second, chased closely by Jim Housworth who finished third. Kyle Borror was fourth followed by Gabe Fox in fifth.

PJ Oliver won his fourth feature of 2010 in the Outlaw Stock 20 lapper. Oliver came from the back to grab the lead before halfway and then cruised to the victory over Dan Collamer, John Carpenter, Billy Wroble and Brian Ludwig.

Kyle Heiber of Langhorne, PA won the Tobias SpeedSTRS 15 lap feature event. Tyler Potts challenged Heiber in the closing laps, but Hieber had him covered and came home victorious. Potts ran second, followed by the winner of the last two events at NES Mario Page, Scott Monroe was fourth and Matt Dealaman.was fifth.

The Fastrak Late Models 15 lap feature event was won by Darrin Henderson of Pasadena, MD.  PJ Oliver who won the Outlaw Stock feature event, settled for second in this one. All-time leading Super Stock feature event winner Rob Ormsbee finished third, followed by Bobby Dmuchowski, and Tony Giglio.
