Rick Holsten Wins First of His Career,
Pauch Takes Nightcap at NES;
Ryan Godown is the 2012 Champion
New Egypt, NJ (September 29, 2012) – Rick Holsten of
Dayton, NJ & Billy Pauch of Frenchtown, NJ split the two feature
events run at New Egypt Speedway for the Modifieds on Championship
Night sponsored by C&S Equipment. Holsten was the class of the field
in the make-up feature event from last Saturday night, going wire to
wire to capture is first ever Modified win. In the regularly scheduled
feature, Billy Pauch won for the 5th time this year as he stromed from
11th starting spot to pass race-long leader John Stangle with two laps
remaining for the victory. By virtue of his 10th place finish in the
opening event, Ryan Godown only had to take the green in the finale to
be crowned the 2012 New Egypt Speedway Modified Champ.
Holsten brought the field to the green flag in the first event and
went right out to the lead ahead of John Stangle, Tom Carberry, Dave
Witte and Neal Williams. Holsten drove away from the field as battles
behind him took place for the runner up spot. Gary Butler, who started
9th, appeared in the top five just after halfway when the only caution
of the event flew. On the restart Butler tried something that no other
driver had done successfully yet by running the outside groove and he
quickly advanced from 5th to second in four laps. Butler had the crowd
cheering loudly at this point, but over the final five laps Holsten
proved that this win was no fluke as he powered away from Butler
winning by just over 1 second. Butler’s hard drive gave him a nice
second place finish as Tom Carberry came home in the third position.
Sam Martz and Tad Cox rounded out the top five.
In the regularly scheduled feature event, Darren McCaughey and John
Stangle brought the field to the start with Stangle taking the lead as
Tommy Farrell moved up to second. Five laps in 11th starting Billy
Pauch was already in 6th and taking fifth the next time around. Pauch
marched into second by halfway only to find that Stangle was
two-thirds of a straightaway ahead. Pauch began to slowly reel in
Stangle as 18th starting and newly crowned Modified champ Ryan Godown
charged into third. With no cautions to slow the pace, Pauch closed in
on Stangle as they approached lapped traffic. Then as they began to
lap cars, Pauch found an opening on the bottom of turn three to drive
into the lead with just two laps remaining and go on to capture the
non-stop event in a time of 8 minutes and 12 seconds. For Pauch it was
the 108th big block Modified feature event victory in his career at
New Egypt. Stangle settled for the runner-up spot for the second time
this year due to a late race pass. Champ Godown crossed the line
third, barely beating a very fast David Van Horn who came from outside
the top ten in the final 10 laps to finish fourth. Dominick Buffalino
rounded out the top five.
The TSRS 305 Sprint Cars also made up their 20 lap feature event
rained out last Saturday night with Mike Haggenbottom winning his
third career race at NES. Haggenbottom ran away and hid from the field
in heavy lapped traffic, as a fast Ed Newhouser chased after him for
the final 10 laps but settled for second. Bill Case Jr. was third
followed by Steve Wilson and Brian Carber. Carber then did his
imitation of Haggenbottom in the second main as he moved thru lapped
traffic flawlessly for the victory, his second of the season.
Haggenbottom this time was doing the chasing and settled for second as
Crate-1 Sportsman standout Jon Haegele did a fantastic job finishing
third. Mike Esposito and Rick Stief rounded out the top five.
Rich Mongeau won the specially scheduled 25 lap Outlaw Stock feature.
Mongeau raced to the lead before halfway and then withstood many
challenges from Tom Princiotta and Dan Collamer to post his first win
of the season. Princiotta’s bid for his first ever win fell one spot
short as Dan Collamer was third, followed by John Carpenter and Bill
Liedtka.
New Egypt Speedway takes a week off next week before
coming back with the big Roctoberfest event on Saturday October 13th,
featuring Modifieds, Sportsman, Crate-1 Sportsman, Outlaw Stocks and
FASTrak Late Models. For more information, call the speedway office at
