Van Horn Holds Off Guarino to Win Second at New Egypt New Egypt, NJ (August 28, 2010) – David Van Horn of Harmony, NJ picked up his second win of the season and his career in the 30-lap Modified feature on Saturday night, sponsored by Perone’s Auto Service & Salvage. Van Horn passed leader Gary Butler with 12 laps remaining and then held off a hard charging Johnny Guarino in a spirited battle over the final 10 laps to post the victory. "I knew he was going to be tough when I watched him in the Consi and then saw he was up to second," Van Horn said referring to Guarino, "When I passed him to get the lead back, I took his lane away and decided he was going to have to beat me on the bottom. I am glad it worked out.”     John Miloszar grabbed the lead at the start of the event over the 28 car field followed by Mike Barone, Gary Butler, Darren McCaughey and Dominick Buffalino. Several yellows slowed the action but Miloszar held sway each time as Butler moved into second and began to challenge. Eight laps into the event, a tangle in turn four found two-time champ Jimmy Horton stopped against the inside guardrail as four-time champ & point leader Billy Pauch headed pitside with front end damage. Horton was able to restart, however, Pauch never returned to the race as the damage sidelined him for the evening. On the restart Butler found a way by the fast Miloszar and was now the pacesetter as he then survived several more restarts including a hard front stretch crash with Frank Cozze Jr. and Sam Martz, and then a lap 17 pileup in turn two that started when Miloszar spun in front of the field. Once we were back to green, Van Horn wasted no time getting the lead as Guarino followed him by Butler. The two pulled away and began to battle with Guarino constantly challenging Van Horn to the inside when the final caution of the event came out with just 7 laps remaining. Guarino made the most of this as he switched it up and charged around the outside to sweep into the lead with six to go, but two laps later, Van Horn went under Guarino in turn three very hard to get the lead. As the car slid high up the track, many thought Guarino would just drive back by on the inside. But Van Horn’s car stuck on the outside and he easily grabbed the lead. With this knowledge Van Horn then drove the car in that groove over the remaining 4 laps and won the race going away by 6 car lengths. Guarino raced home with his third second place finish, while Frank Cozze finished a good night for him in third.  Butler held on for fourth while defending champ Rick Laubach, who had struggled all night long finished a surprising fifth. With Pauch finished in last (28th), Laubach takes over the point lead by just one point as we enter the final month of the season. Asphalt Modified standout Jimmy Blewett of Howell, NJ started the night off by shattering the one-lap Sportsman track record by over three tenths of a second (17.177) during his heat race victory, and then finished the night off with his first ever dirt track feature win in the 20-lap nightcap. Blewett passed leader JT Trestensky before halfway and went on to record an impressive win over defending Sportsman champion and current point leader Rocco Infante. Mike Howardson finished third over Trestensky, who settled for fourth. Rookie champ Bill Lester rounded out the top five. John Carpenter of Howell, NJ posted his fifth win in the last seven events in the 20-lap Outlaw Stock feature. Carpenter passed leader PJ Oliver and then held him off to get the popular victory. Oliver was second, followed by Mick Search, Marty Derr and Brian Ludwig.   This Tuesday evening, August 31, New Egypt Speedway presents the Modified Tri-Track Series “Summer Sizzler 40” along with the always exciting ARDC Midgets.
