Pauch Honors
Military with Flawless Performance at New Egypt
New Egypt, NJ (May 28, 2011) – Billy
Pauch of Frenchtown, NJ won his third feature of
the 2011 season at New Egypt Speedway Saturday
night as he captured the 30 lap Modified feature
event sponsored by Joy Auto Parts. Pauch chased
leader Wade Hendrickson till just after halfway,
then used a lap 17 restart to his advantage as he
crossed under him in turn two to grab a lead that
he would never relinquish. Once in front Pauch
cruised to his 92nd career win by 8 car lengths.
“This is a tough place to win so every win feels
special,” stated Pauch in victory lane, “It
reminds me of Flemington in the mid-1980’s when
there were 15-20 cars capable of winning every
night. You really have to on top of your game.”
The 30-lap event got off to a rocky start as a
first lap tangle in turn two saw team mates Jimmy
Blewett and defending champ Rick Laubach tangled
together with Tommy Carberry Jr. and Rich Kuiken
Jr. in turn #2. Laubach was able to continue after
two trips to the pits but was never a factor on
this night. Once it finally got going Ron John
Koczon grabbed the early lead and looked very
impressive as he opened up a sizeable lead on the
field. Hendrickson was up to second by lap 3 and
was fast, but had nothing for Koczon in the early
going. Pauch was up to third when the caution
lights came on lap 9. The restart saw Hendrickson
first, and then Pauch a lap later, get by Koczon
for the top spots. Pauch couldn’t muster a serious
challenge until a restart on lap 17 when Pauch
caught the cushion in turn two and used it to
drive off under Hendrickson coming off the corner.
Over the final 10 laps Hendrickson kept pace but
could not close the gap at all as Pauch raced
across the line first. Hendrickson settled for
second while Sam Martz drove a very nice race to
come home third. Jimmy Horton made Martz work for
the spot but fell short in the end finishing
fourth. Rick Holsten posted one of his best
finishes ever at NES rounding out the top five.
Marc Herman of Windsor, NJ took top honors in the
20 lap Sportsman main event. Herman bested young
DJ Ruppert to post his third career win, his first
in almost 3 years. Ruppert held on for second,
while Clay Butler was very fast again late in the
event and wound up third. Danny Bouc raced up to
finish fourth while Tim Apgar completed the top
five.
John Carpenter won the 20 lap Outlaw Stock feature
for his second win of the year and his ninth
career win. Dan Collamer finished second, followed
by Jason Saredy, Gary Klimeczak and Marty Derr.
At intermission a military ceremony was held
in front of the grandstands as Outlaw Stock
regular Billy Wroble retired from the United
States Air Force. Wroble stated that since he was
stationed at McGuire AFB five years ago, everyone
at the speedway has become like an extended family
to him, and he wanted to share this with them.
Tomorrow, Sunday May 29th, Rich Tobias
presents the first event of the Big Kahuna Series
which will run one Sunday a month for the summer.
The Tobias SpeedSTERS will be in action along with
a Sportsman/Crate-1 combo event, the Vintage cars
