Ryan Godown is Error Free on NES Little League Night New Egypt, NJ (April 21, 2012) –  Ryan Godown of Ringoes, NJ won his first feature in almost 5 years at New Egypt Speedway Saturday night winning the 30 lap main event on Little League night sponsored by Ocean Medical. Godown was locked in a side by side battle with Billy Pauch on lap 20 when Pauch’s mount suddenly stopped with a broken rear. Godown then assumed command and raced to a popular win by 6 car lengths over Sammy Martz and Willie Osmun. “I hate to see someone break down and exit a race like that,” Godown said of Pauch in victory lane, “I think I had something for him and would much rather beat him while he is running than this way, but I will take it.” Darren McCaughey and Tommy Carberry Jr. took the field into turn one for the first time with Carberry Jr. grabbing the early lead. By the second lap, sixth starting Tad Cox moved into second and seemed to be on the charge. However Carberry Jr. had the hot hand and held a comfortable lead. By only lap five, 16th starter Billy Pauch, the winner of the first two races of the season, and 13th starting Godown moved into the top five. One lap later the duo were second and third and were hunting down Carberry Jr. That would only take two more laps as they moved into first and second respectively, now closely trailed by Sammy Martz. Pauch quickly opened up a comfortable lead of about 6 lengths while Willie Osmun made his way into 4th. As the halfway mark of the event neared, it suddenly became noticeable that Godown was closing in on Pauch. This got the crowd into it as each passing lap saw Godown another car length closer. Godown closed in and on lap 17 he made his move under Pauch coming off of Turn 2 to go to the lead, only to see the yellow flag appear for Tad Cox who slowed with a flat. Pauch got a great start on the restart to lead by six lengths again, but this time Godown closed it up and caught him in just two laps. Godown pulled up alongside of Pauch again on lap 20, however sparks flew from under Pauch’s rear axle and he coasted to a stop bringing a roar from the crowd and an end to the battle.  Godown couldn’t shake Martz, but he couldn’t get any closer than five car lengths and had to settle for second in the final rundown. It was Godown’s 14th victory of his career and his first win since August of 2007. Martz, Osmun, Van Horn and Billy Pauch Jr. rounded out top five. Steve Hicks of Fountainville, PA posted the first win of his career in the Crate-1 Sportsman 20 lapper. Hicks used the smooth and fast surface to lead the entire event that was slowed by only one yellow on lap 17. Chuck Steuer grabbed second on lap two but had to settle for the runner up spot as Hicks was too strong.  Matt McAnally, Eric Palmer and Bryan Kuhl rounded out the top five. In the Tri-State Race Saver 305 Sprint Series, Phil Meisner, Jr. of Bordentown, NJ was victorious in the 20 lap A Main. Meisner started 3rd and wasted no time grabbing the lead from Ed Newhouser on the 4th circuit and then dominated the 24 car field the rest of the way for his fourth career win a the track. Newhouser was fast in his own right, driving to an impressive second place finish. Bill Case, Jr. was third followed by his teammate and defending TSRS champ Chris Allen, Jr. Mike Haggenbottom came all the way from the rear of the field after being involved in a first lap 8 car pileup to finish fifth. In the HCI/Spike-N-Go Rookie Sportsman feature event, Will Trstensky of Flemington, NJ took top honors in the 3rd straight non-stop 8 lap event. Trstensky becomes the third different winner this year in as many events. Matt Carman and his brother Mike Carman came home second and third respectively. In the twin Fastrak Late Model 12-lap features, Rob Ormsbee of Wall, NJ swept both ends of the event. The first 12 lap event Ormsbee started seventh, grabbed the lead by halfway and took the checkered ahead of early race leader PJ Oliver & Tony Giglio. In the second event, Ormsbee again came from seventh, this time taking command on lap four. Ormsbee again cruised to the victory ahead of Giglio and Cody Dawson. Next Saturday April 14th it will be Premio Foods night. Premio will sponsoring the first ever sausage eating contest on the frontstretch at intermission. The Modifieds will headline the show with the fan favorite Twin 20 lap feature events. The Modifieds will be joined by the Sportsman, the HCI/SpikenGo Rookies and the Outlaw Stocks.
