Clay Butler On Top in Sportsman Headliner at New Egypt New Egypt, NJ (June 9, 2012) –  Clay  Butler of Milford, NJ won his first feature of the season at New Egypt Speedway Saturday night as he captured the 30 lap Double Point main event for the Sportsman. With the Modifieds off this week, the Sportsman got a rare chance to headline the show and divisional point leader Butler took full advantage of it as he out dueled Mike Lyons and cruised to the victory. “We are running really good right now” stated a very happy Butler, “My crew has been working hard and giving me a great car each week and I am just so happy to be on top right now.” Jason Kosch and Alan Bleacher brought the field to the start with Kosch grabbing the lead only to see Marc Herman roar under him to take command before the completion of lap one. Lyons started sixth and by lap five had moved into second and was chasing after Herman. A restart on lap 9 was all that Lyons needed as he drove by Herman to the point. At halfway, 11th starting Butler moved into second and began chasing after the leader. He caught Lyons with 10 laps to go only to see the caution wave. Lyons held on to the lead on the restart, but Butler got enough momentum to pull off a perfectly executed slide job in turn two to take the lead for good. The final 7 laps were caution plagued but Butler was up to every challenge and he would pull away each time. When the checker finally fell, Butler won by 5 car lengths to pad his point lead while Lyons drove a great race holding on to second. Despite a ton of pressure from Rich Rutski during the closing laps, Herman was able to squeeze out third over Rutski, as Jim Housworth captured his best finish to date coming home fifth. The Tri-State Race Saver 305 Sprint Series Phil Meisner, Jr. of Bordentown, NJ made a late race pass of leader Kyle Reinhardt and went on to grab his second win of the season. Reinhardt had led the whole race and withstood a serious challenge from Mike Haggenbottom during the first half of the event, however Meisner found the track coming to his car late in the race as he ducked under Reinhardt for the lead with 6 laps to go. Reinhardt didn’t let him get away though and was right on his tail tank as the event ended in heavy lapped traffic.  Bobby Devault had closed in but ran out of time as he settled for third, followed by Haggenbottom and Rick Stief. The Outlaw Stocks ran two features as they started with their make-up feature from April 28th which found Dan Collamer race from 15th to the lead by halfway and win his first feature of the year. Rich Mongeau was second, chased across the line by John Carpenter, Billy Wroble and Ed Tinsman. In the regular 20 lap feature Jarrod Burdge took his first win of the year, beating Carpenter and Collamer. Ron Freese was fourth and Wroble was fifth. Jesse Dill of Whiting, NJ took top honors in the HCI/Spike-N-Go Rookie Sportsman feature event for the sixth time, his fourth in a row. Kimme Ling finished second while Melissa Scarpati was third. Next Saturday June 16th at New Egypt Speedway the Modifieds return for the Fathers Day races. The Crate-1 Sportsman and the TSRS 305 Sprint Cars will be in action along with the FASTrak Late Models and the HCI/SpikenGo Rookies. Racing gets underway at 6pm, with gates opening at 4pm.
