Brian Papiez Wins Crate “Friends of
Mike” 40 at New Egypt
New Egypt, NJ (Sept 1, 2012)
– Brian Papiez of Belle Mead, NJ won his second feature of the
year at New Egypt Speedway Saturday night as he captured the 40 lap
“Friends of Mike” Crate-1 Sportsman event. Papiez charged back from
6th spot during the second half of the race, passing leader Chuck
Steuer with 5 laps remaining after a 10 lap side by side battle to
pocket the $1200 first prize.
Adam Cox grabbed the lead at the start however fourth starter Chuck
Steuer wasted no time as he passed Cox as they completed lap two and
became the new leader. Once in front Steuer took command of the event
leading Cox, Joe Dill Mike Carman and Papiez. Steuer opened up a
sizeable lead on several occasions, with only Cox able to keep pace
with him. Mike Butler was on the move as he drove into third by lap 8
and was looking strong as he began to challenge Cox for second. A
restart on lap 19 set the tone for the second half as Brian Papiez,
who had been racing in fourth or fifth much of the event, made a move
to run on the outside and found a groove that his car liked. As he
rolled the corners up on the cushion, he went from fifth to second in
just two laps and caught the leader the following lap. What
ensued was a crowd pleasing side-by-side duel for the next 10 laps
that saw Steuer holding the lead on every one of them at the line by
less than a car length. Finally the on lap 33 Papiez decided to try
and cross over to the inside and use his momentum to carry his #93B
past Steuer. His first two attempts did not work, but showed him that
it was the right move, and his third try was the charm on lap 35 as he
drove by Steuer off of turn four and into the lead. Once in front
Papiez opened up a five car length lead which he held to the checkered
for his 7th career victory at NES. Steuer’s search for his first ever
Crate feature win came up just short as he crossed the line in second.
Mike Butler was a solid third, chased home by 16th starter Eric Palmer
and Jordan Henn.
Jeff Schall crossed the line first in the Tri-State Race Saver 305
Sprint Series 20 lapper for what appeared to be his 2nd win of the
season, however Schall’s mount came up light at the post race
weigh-in, resulting in his disqualification from the event. This moved
second place finisher Joe Lord of Hamilton, NJ into victory lane for
his second win of the year. Lord held off a strong Kyle Purks who
settled for second. Mike Haggenbottom was fast once again coming home
third, chased by Brian Carber and Bobby Devault.
In the twin Fastrak Late Model 12-lap features, Rob Ormsbee of Wall,
NJ and Tony Giglio of Collingswood, split the two races. Ormsbee came
from the last row to win the first event over Skip Syester and Cody
Dawson. Giglio had the hot setup in the second leading from the early
laps to the checkered followed by Ormsbee and PJ Oliver.
It was also the F.O.M. Outlaw Stock event and Ron Freese of Brick, NJ
won the 30-lap affair posting his first ever win at New Egypt
Speedway. This was truly an excellent race as the top 8 cars ran side
by side, sometimes 3 and even 4 wide, the entire race right to the
finish getting the crowd to their feet on numerous occasions. The
event featured 9 lead changes among six different drivers, including
two in the final two laps. Freese had taken over the lead from Jason
Saredy on lap 22, but Billy Wroble who was also in search of his first
ever win, edged in front of Freese as the white flag flew. Freese then
held his line on the inside and got the lead back off of turn number
four for the victory. Wroble was second while Saredy finished third.
John Carpenter came home fourth and Bill Liedtka rounded out the top
five.
This Monday, Labor Day, September 3 it will be the annual
Friends of Mike night at New Egypt Speedway. The Modifieds will
compete in a 100-lap $10,000 to win event which will also pay an
incredible $1,000 to start! The Mods will also race in the fan
