Osmun and Bright Beat the Rain at New Egypt, 2 Features Postponed New Egypt, NJ (Sept 22, 2012) – Willie Osmun of Bloomsbury, NJ won his second feature of the season Saturday night by winning the make-up 20 main event from April 28th. The event, which has been postponed several times this season, was run early in the evening as Osmun out-dueled Billy Pauch, Jr. for his third career victory. Qualifying was then completed and the ARDC Midget feature was run as Alex Bright of Collegeville, PA won his first ever event at NES. A line of heavy thundershowers then hit the speedway at about 8:45pm just as the green flag was thrown on the TSRS 305 sprint feature causing the postponement of the final two feature events of the evening, which was sponsored by Roma Bank. Osmun charged to the lead of the make-up feature event only to see the yellow thrown before a lap could be recorded as a four car pileup occurred in turn #3 involving Darren McCaughey, Chris Grbac, Rick Holsten and Randy Laird. On the complete restart, pole-sitter Tommy Carberry, Jr. grabbed the lead chased by Ron John Koczon, Osmun and Billy Pauch Jr. Osmun wasted no time as he caught Carberry Jr and passed him for the lead on lap 3 and quickly opened up a 10 car length lead as Pauch Jr. raced into second. Pauch Jr. was visibly running Osmun down with open track ahead and caught Osmun just as the duo reached the first lapped car. Before Osmun could lap that car, Pauch Jr. roared around the outside of both for the lead as Osmun then chased after him. Lapped traffic became very heavy causing both drivers to be on top of their games as Osmun kept the pressure on by matching every one of Pauch Jr.’s moves. With 6 laps remaining, Pauch Jr. attempted to lap Dominick Buffalino in turn two at the exact same time that Buffalino slowed and turned left into the infield. This caused Pauch Jr. to check up and opened the door for Osmun as he raced around the outside of both cars to regain the lead. Pauch Jr. then stayed right on Osmun’s bumper for the next five laps till the only other caution of the event since the start appeared with just one lap remaining, setting up a one lap shoot out. When the green flag flew however, Osmun never let him mount a challenge as he pulled away to a 3 car length victory over “the Kid’s Kid”. Tommy Carberry Jr. worked extremely hard the entire event holding off Ron John Koczon to finish third, with Koczon settleing for fourth at the checkered. Mike Iles rounded out the top five. The traveling ARDC Midget series made their only appearance of 2012 at New Egypt as Alex Bright took top honors in their 20 lap event. Bright passed race long leader Mark Gilmore for the top spot just after halfway, and then held off challenges from Trevor Kobylarz and Steve Buckwalter for the win. Kobylarz was a very close second and Buckwalter just nipped Gilmore at the line for third. Gilmore was fourth and young Jimmy Glenn came home fifth. The TSRS 305 Sprint feature had just gone green when the yellow was thrown in turn one for the rain, which minutes later brought the night to a halt. Information on when this race and the regularly scheduled 30-lap Modified feature will be made up will be released sometime this week. In Modified qualifying, the three heat races run for the 33 cars on hand were won by Rick Holsten, Tim Tanner and Tom Carberry, Sr. Tommy Carberry, Jr. was victorious in the B Main. 305 Sprint heats for the 36 sprint cars on hand were captured by Chuck Palmucci, Steve Wilson and Jamie Kostic with Phil Meisner, Jr. and Jeff Schall winning the two B Mains. Next Saturday night, Sept. 29th, New Egypt Speedway presents Modified championship night. The Modifieds are scheduled to compete in Twin 20 lap features to decide the 2012 NES point championship, however the format of this show could change to accommodate tonight’s 30-lap postponed feature event and will be released soon. The always popular URC Sprints make their second and final appearance of the year at New Egypt Speedway as well. Gates open at 4:00 p.m. with the first race starting at 6:00 pm.
