Pauch ‘Rocks’ New Egypt Field Once Again For Tri-Track $5,000
New Egypt, NJ – (October 16, 2010)
–
Billy Pauch of Frenchtown, NJ added the
finishing touches to his fine 2010 season at NES this past Saturday as
he out raced two two-time champions Rick Laubach and Frank Cozze to
the finish line in the 40-lap event on Hamill Flooring Night.
Falling just short of a 5th track championship just a few weeks ago,
Pauch swept scheduled Twin 20’s and finished the year off with the
$5,000 to win final Tri-Track event of 2010 thus pushing his win
streak to three straight.
By luck of the draw Pauch started 4th on the 24 car
starting grid and wasted no time at all in going after the five grand.
Billy’s K&A Excavating/Ling Trucking No. 1 jumped to the outside
groove as he passed the first three cars before a single lap was
completed. The caution flew after only one lap had been recorded
as newly crowned modified champion Rick Laubach spun in turn 1.
When racing resumed it was Pauch setting the pace as two other drivers
were starting to make their presence known. 9th starting
Keith Hoffman and especially 16th starting Frank Cozze were making
their way to the front in hurry.
Frank Cozze seemed
like he was on mission to seek and destroy on this night, as he
rocketed his way up to the runner up spot and set his sights on the
leader Pauch. The two 35-year plus racing veterans would soon
engage in one of the most crowd-pleasing duels all season long.
Pauch worked the outside while Cozze hugged the bottom groove.
Lap after lap after lap these two fan-favorites swapped the lead back
and forth crossing the finish line almost dead even bringing the crowd
to their feet.
As the laps clicked off one by one,
Rick Laubach was suddenly grabbing the attention of everyone at the
speedway. The No. 7 machine of Laubach was suddenly in the top 5
just after the half-way point in the race. Back up front, it was
Cozze finally wrestling the lead away from Pauch. However,
Frank’s lead would be short-lived as Billy grabbed the lead back just
2 laps later. Pauch would go on to open up a comfortable
advantage but Cozze and now the third running Laubach were slowly
reeling in Pauch. The table was set for a three car battle to
the end before the last caution waved on lap 34. With 6 to go
and a single-file restart it was Pauch, Laubach who had raced all the
way back after his spin from the 24th position, Cozze, and Hoffman as
the green flag flew for the final time. ‘The Quaker Shaker’ who
had run the extreme outside cushion all night long gave it one last
shot but it was no avail as Pauch ran a smooth final 6 laps to claim
his 8th victory of the year. Laubach capped off his great season
with a second place finish. Cozze ended his frustrating 2010
season with a gutty third place effort while Keith Hoffman finished a
solid 4th and Tom Carberry Sr. had a great run coming home in 5th.
It was all Bridgewater NJ’s David Hunt in the 20-lap Sportsman
feature. Hunt drew the outside pole and cruised home to his
first victory of the season and his second NES checker of his career.
Hunt who finished 2nd to 2010 track champion Rocco Infante three times
this season, was not to be denied on this night as the roles had now
been reversed and it was Infante now chasing Hunt. Only 7 cars
were able to finish caution-plagued event. Kevin Vaclavicek
finished 3rd in what has been his best season in his young career.
Rounding out the top 5 were Gene Stravinsky and Johnny Cornell.
Newly crowned 2010 track champion Jimmy Housworth of Riegelsville, Pa
used a last lap pass to record his second win of the season in the
Crate-1 Sportsman 20-lapper. Harry Marlin led the first 11 laps
before the 7th starting Brian Papiez grabbed the lead and looked like
he was on his way to his first victory of the season. As the
laps wound down Housworth had one thing in mind and that was to get by
Papiez for the checkered. The two drag raced down the back
stretch as Housworth ducked to the inside and completed the last lap
pass much to Papiez’s dismay. Rounding out the top 5 were Neal
Williams, Bobby Dmuchowski, and Ryan Anderson.
John Wyers of Marmora, NJ recorded his 6th career victory at NES in
the TSRS 305 sprint feature. Rounding out the top 5 were Bruce
Kindberg, Bill Case Jr., Jeff Geiges, and Bobby Sandt.
John Carpenter of Howell, NJ led every lap in the Outlaw Stock 20-lap
affair as he claimed his 7th checkered of the year. This year’s
runner-up in points drew the pole and never had to look back as he
completely dominated the final Outlaw Stock race of 2010. Dan
Collamer, who has been hot of late, was able to finish of his season
with another good performance by coming home in 2nd. Track
Champion P.J. Oliver finished 3rd while Jay Saredy and Wall Stadium
regular Howie Conk rounded out the top 5.
Steve Davis of Manville, NJ drove to yet another Fastrak Late Model
win of the 2010 season. Saturday’s win marked the 10th time that
Davis was able to bring his No. 13 to victory lane this year.
The 6th starting Davis wasted no time as he grabbed the lead early on
and was able to hold off this year’s track champion Darin Henderson
over the final 10 laps. Henderson settled for second while
Delaware invader Kelly Putz had a good run coming home in third.
New Egypt Speedway will be dark the next weekend before returning
to
action on Saturday, Oct. 30, when New Egypt Speedway presents
its annual ‘Halloween Havoc’ event. A full card of racing featuring
the Crate-1 Sportsman who will headline the event in their $1,500 to
