Pauch Jr. Takes Dad to School on
Graduation Night at New Egypt
New Egypt, NJ (June 30, 2012)
– Billy Pauch, Jr. of Frenchtown, NJ won his second feature of
the year at New Egypt Speedway Saturday night as he captured the 30
lap main event on Graduation Night sponsored by SpikeNGo and Hopewell
Construction, Inc. Pauch Jr., who led from lap two, had to
survive one final restart with 5 laps to go and his dad Billy Pauch on
his bumper. But the younger Pauch used a move he learned from his dad
by pulling up in front of him to take his father’s momentum away as
they fired off of turn four and then pulled away fro the victory.

“I went to school on one of my dad’s moves and it worked, it’s a good
move!” exclaimed Pauch, Jr. in the winner’s circle, “I knew he was in
second, but it doesn’t make me drive any differently. You always want
to just hit your marks and keep from making a mistake. I just want to
thank this team. This is the best opportunity I have had and I am glad
to see it finally coming together and pay off.”
Sammy Piazza
charged into the lead on the first lap before fourth starting Pauch,
Jr. slid in front of him to lead lap number two. These two drivers
were the fastest on the track as Pauch, Jr. pulled away from everyone
except Piazza, who matched his speed just 5 car lengths off the lead.
During the first half of the event, one of the fastest cars on the
track was the winner two weeks ago Dominick Buffalino. Buffalino
started the race 16th and was into the top five by lap 10, chased by
Pauch Sr. who had started in front of him. Pauch Sr. finally got by
him and then began to battle for third with point leader Ryan Godown.
Godown held him off for several laps before Pauch wrestled his way by
him around the halfway mark. Pauch caught and finally passed runnerup
Piazza with just 7 laps to go only to find his son with a sizeable
cushion. But this was erased with five laps to go when the yellow came
out for Mike McAleer who spun in turn one. The long awaited showdown
between father and son went to Pauch Jr. as he used his dad’s move to
cruise back out in front into turn one and throughout the final 5
laps, winning by almost a full second (.961 sec.) when the checkered
flag fell. Godown settled for third followed by Buffalino and Sam
Martz.

Brian Papiez of Belle Mead, NJ earned his first Crate Sportsman win of
the year in the 20 lap main event. By virtue of the win Papiez took
over sole possession of 3rd place on the all-time win list with six
career victories. Frank Dorry drove a strong race finishing a close
second and Adam Cox brought his mount across the line third. Jon
Haegele and Ryan Simmons completed the top five.

In the Tri-State Race Saver 305 Sprint Series Jeff Schall of Great
Meadows, NJ captured his first win at New Egypt in their 20-lap A
Main. Bobby Devault grabbed second late in the race but was unable to
mount a serious challenge on Schall. Last weeks winner Joe Lord
continued to be hot as he posted another top three finish coming home
third. Kyle Purks finished fourth and Mark Bitner, picking up a ride
in Harris Kohen’s #36 rounded out the top 5.

Jesse Dill of Whiting, NJ won his 7th straight feature in the
HCI/Spike-N-Go Rookie Sportsman 12-lap finale. With the win Dill was
crowned the 2012 NES Rookie champion and also set a new NES record
with 9 Rookie wins in one season breaking Danny Bouc’s old mark of
eight set in 2007. Kimee Ling drove to a second place finish while
Scott Doty finished third. Melissa Scarpati and Lauren Emmons were
fourth and fifth respectively.

In the twin Fastrak Late Model 12-lap features, Rob Ormsbee of Wall,
NJ swept the two events for the fourth time this season. Ormsbee now
has 11 Late Model wins this season already. Skip Syester led the first
5 laps of the first one but settled for second with PJ Oliver
finishing third. Cody Dawson was able to lead the first 3 laps of the
second event before Ormsbee roared by, Dawson was second and DJ Macri
posted his best finish to date with third.
