Laubach Responds First at New Egypt Speedway
New Egypt, NJ (September 11, 2010)
– Rick Laubach of Hellertown, PA drove to his
fifth win of the season in the 30-lap Modified feature on “First
Responders” night Saturday honoring all Fire, First Aid and Police
officers on 9/11, sponsored by Mr. Bob’s Portable Toilets. After
problems in his heat race forced him to qualify thru the Consi,
Laubach turned his last row starting spot into his tenth career win as
he charged thru the field in the first half of the event and won going
away.
"This wasn’t really our type of track tonight," stated
Laubach in victory lane, "Everyone knows I like the track when it gets
hard and slick, not this fast tacky track….But we want to win our
second straight title and we will take what we get and do the best we
can with it."
John Miloszar led the 25 car field to the initial
green and set the pace early, picking up where he had left off with
his heat win as Brad Freeman and Gary Hager gave chase. Miloszar is
fast every week at NES, but once again lady luck was not on his
shoulder as he pulled to the pits during a lap 7 caution period,
giving the lead to Freeman. Freeman now had his hands full as Mike
Hendershot who started 9th was up to second, but Freeman was up to the
challenge as he raced ahead by several car lengths. While these two
ran the race of their lives at the front, 23rd starting Laubach was
passing cars wholesale as he passed Billy Pauch in traffic, leading
the charge of the two title contenders to the front. With only 15
points separating them at the start of the night, the race to the
front was crucial and Laubach looked like the man to beat as he
charged into third by lap 11 and ran the top two down. Laubach caught
them and flew by into the lead at the halfway sign and immediately
pulled away leaving no doubt as to who was the fastest on this night.
As Laubach got to the front Pauch who was 4th, developed a left front
flat tire but continued to race as though he didn’t have a problem.
Hendershot continued to hound Freeman for second, but late in the race
Keith Hoffman ran them down and got by both of them for the second
spot. At the finish, Laubach posted the victory as Hoffman ran a solid
second. Hendershot finally wore down Freeman as he grabbed third, with
Freeman turning in his best finish of the year in fourth. Pauch was
able to drive more than half the race with a left front flat and front
end problems and still finish in the top five as he held off Bobby
Drayton and Johnny Guarino in the closing laps. Laubach now holds a 27
point lead with just Twin 20’s remaining in the chase for the NES
championship.
Defending Sportsman champion and current point
leader Rocco Infante of Robbinsville, NJ won his second race this week
as he took the win in the 20 lap Sportsman main event. Dave Hunt won a
race long battle with Mike Krachun to finish second trailed by
Krachun, Gene Stravinsky and Marc Herman.
John Carpenter of
Howell, NJ posted sixth win in the last 9 races. Carpenter passed and
then held off Billy Wroble who was looking for his first career win.
Wroble finished a solid second, followed by PJ Oliver, last Saturday’s
winner Mick Search and Dan Collamer. Carpenter is now within just 10
points of Oliver for the Outlaw Stock championship.
Tonight marks the second time this season that all three of these
drivers, Laubach, Infante and Carpenter all won features on the same
night. They also accomplished this feat on June 12th.
Next Saturday night, Sept. 18, New Egypt
Speedway presents Championship Night, headlined by the Sportsman.
Crate1 Sportsman, Fastrak Late Models & Outlaw Stocks will also be on
the card with double point events as we crown a 2010 champion in each
of these 4 divisions. It will also be 70’s night at NES and fans are
encouraged to wear 70’s clothes, especially any vintage 1970’s racing
t-shirts. Gates open at 4:00 p.m. with the first race starting at 6:00
pm.
Then 1 week later on Sat.
Sept. 25th the Modifieds will return to crown their 2010 champion as
they will be running the “Fan Favorite” Twin 20’s. For more
