Carberry Covers Competition at New Egypt

New Egypt, NJ (Aug. 2, 2008) – Tom Carberry of Hopewell, NJ won his first event of the season Saturday night as he captured the 30 lap Modified feature at New Egypt Speedway. Carberry took advantage of a second row starting spot and then sped away to victory on Cray Electric/Motorsports Night. The win was the sixth if Carberry’s career at NES.

Carberry wasted no time when starter Warren Alston dropped the green flag on the event as he quickly charged to the front from his fourth starting position. Once in front Carberry stretched his lead as eighth starting Bob Drayton battled with Mike McAleer for the second position. A lap 11 caution for a frontstretch tangle involving 2-time champ Frank Cozze and one of last week’s winners Tad Cox tightened up the field, but Carberry again took control on the restart. Setting a torrid pace, only Drayton was able to keep Carberry’s familiar yellow #23 in his sights as the two of them left everyone racing for third. Drayton appeared to be closing in on the lead in heavy lapped traffic when the third & final caution was displayed with just four laps remaining. This put fifteenth starter Rick Laubach in position to challenge as he had just moved into third place. However, Carberry proved it would be his night as he sped away to claim the victory by five car lengths as Drayton and Laubach battled over second. Drayton was successful holding off the persistent Laubach over the final four circuits as he equaled his best finish of the year in second. Laubach settled for a strong third, followed by three-time champ Billy Pauch and Tim Tanner, Jr. who both utilized a great final restart to complete the top five.

Clay Butler of Milford, NJ raced to his first career victory in the A-1 Racing Products Sportsman 20 lap feature event. Butler held off challenges from Steve Schmidt and a fast closing John McClelland to post his first ever win on his sponsor’s night (Cray Motorsports). Schmidt posted his best ever finish in the runner-up spot as he was chased across the line by McClelland in third. Former champion Gary Butler posted another top five in fourth while John Romano, Jr. rounded out the top five.

Former two-time champion Rob Ormsbee of Wall, NJ picked up his third win of 2008 in the 20 lap Super Stock feature. Ormsbee held off Bill Liedtka and Mick Search to post his 20th career victory, moving him within one of all-time leading Super Stock feature winner Billy Bauer. Point leader Todd Cray took fourth on his sponsor’s night while Pete Fogarty crossed the line in fifth.

In the Cray Electric/Motorsports Super Stock match race Challenge, Todd Cray took home the $500 top prize by winning the final match-up over Rob Ormsbee. Ormsbee moved into the final by virtue of his victory over Kory Fleming who had won the first eight matches in a row. Fleming earned $400 for his efforts, with Ormsbee picking up $50.

The 15-lap Crate-1 Sportsman feature found Richie Cass, Sr. standing in victory lane for the fourth time. Cass defeated Ron Barnstead and Bryan Papiez to claim the victory. The 15-lap Outlaw stock feature was won in impressive fashion by former Wall Twp. Speedway champion Vern McLaughlin. McLaughlin won going away over Spider Ensinger, Jr. and Ed Tinsman.
