McCaughey Wins First Feature in 8 Years
at New Egypt
New Egypt, NJ (June 2, 2012)
– Darren McCaughey of New Egypt, NJ won his first feature in
over 8 years at New Egypt Speedway Saturday night as he captured the
30 lap main event on Scout night. McCaughey took command from
Tommy Farrell on lap 8 and then held off Billy Pauch and Sam Martz for
the very popular victory.
“I never thought I would ever be here
in victory lane again!” stated a surprised but jubilant McCaughey,
“Norm and Jeff Saxton put this deal together so we could have some fun
and here we are…unbelievable!”
Tommy Farrell led the field to
green and immediately took control leading the first 8 laps, with
McCaughey and Danny Bouc battling side by side for second. Tim Tanner
then flexed his muscle as he challenged McCaughey for second racing
side by side. Lap after lap clicked by with McCaughey pulling up
alongside of Farrell as the top 6 cars were all right there looking
for the lead. McCaughey finally got the bite he was looking for as he
charged by Farrell to lead lap 8 and take command. Sam Martz was on
the move and he quickly took over second and tried to chase McCaughey
down. At halfway Pauch was just moving into 8th position, but by lap
20 his was in sixth and chasing after the leaders. Over the next 5
laps Martz began to significantly cut down McCaughey’s lead as Pauch
charged into third. Martz was within 5 car lengths of the lead with
five laps to go when the outside groove he was using began to change,
reducing his traction when the yellow came out for the final time for
Mike McAleer who spun in turn four. The restart saw Pauch get Martz
for second and pull right up on the McCaughey’s rear bumper, but
McCaughey held his line, and was able to hold off the five time track
champ for his first win since April of 2004, the fifth win of his
career. Pauch settled for a hard earned second with Martz again
turning in another big performance finishing third. Tanner came home
fourth and Bouc rounded out the top five.
Matt Carman of
Flemington, NJ earned his first career Crate Sportsman victory in the
20 lap feature. Carman, who moved up from Rookies while leading
the Rookie points 4 weeks ago, proved his decision was a good one by
taking the win over Jeff Geiges and Eric Palmer. Jordan Henn finished
fourth however came up light on the scales following the race, moving
Bryan Papiez up to fourth and Frank Dorry to fifth in the final
rundown.
The Tri-State Race Saver 305 Sprint Series again came
down to the final lap, as Mike Haggenbottom of Levittown, PA held off
a late charge by Art Liedl in lapped traffic to win the first feature
of his career at NES. After leading the whole race for the second
straight time, Haggenbottom was bound and determined not to lose on
the last lap again this time, as he found a way by a final lapped car
in the final turn, beating Liedl by only half a car length at the
stripe. Liedl was second with Kyle Reinhardt third, Bob Devault fourth
and Mike Esposito was fifth.
Jesse Dill of Whiting, NJ took top
honors in the HCI/Spike-N-Go Rookie Sportsman feature event for the
fifth time, his third in a row. Melissa Scarpati came home in second
while Lauren Emmons was third.
In the twin Fastrak Late Model
12-lap features, PJ Oliver of Cream Ridge, NJ and Rob Ormsbee of Wall,
NJ split the 12 lap events. Oliver drove an excellent race in the
first event beating the point leader Ormsbee and Cody Dawson. Ormsbee
came back in the nightcap to win his 8th of the year, trailed by
Alessa Young in her best drive ever and Tony Giglio was third.
The NEETS Small Car Enduro was won by Pat Hires. Hires bested Robby
Dunn and Todd Francis in the 50 lap event.
