Buffalino
& Martin Share New Egypt Spotlight
New Egypt, NJ (Aug.
16, 2008) – New
Egypt, NJ (August 16, 2008) – Dominick Buffalino of Morganville, NJ
won his second event of the season Saturday night as he captured the
30 lap Modified feature at New Egypt Speedway. Buffalino grabbed the
lead from Jim Robertson with just 4 laps remaining and never looked
back on his way to his fourth career win. In the ARDC Midget portion
of the program, Andy Martin won his third career feature at NES in
dramatic fashion as he held off Billy Pauch Jr. by less than a car
length to seal the victory on Vespia Tire and Auto Care
Night.

“Robertson
was very fast tonight,” stated Buffalino in victory lane, “At
halfway I started to run the same line he was and it paid off.”
Bill Paulmenn was the early race leader until Jim Robertson ran him
down and quickly gained command of the event on lap 4 moments after
blasting by Buffalino. Buffalino quickly charged into second and the
race was on. Robertson appeared to be the class of the field as
Buffalino kept trying different grooves and lines, but with 10 to go
it was evident that Buffalino was on to something. Each lap Buffalino
closed the distance on Robertson, and on lap 26 Buffalino was close
enough to make his move. Once Buffalino had the lead, he raced to the
popular victory by five car lengths. Robertson was strong thru-out the
event capturing second. Tim Tanner, Jr. and Rick Laubach, both
previous winners this season, finished third and fourth respectively
after both started the race back on row seven. Pole sitter Paulmenn
was impressive finishing in the top five for the second time this
year.

The
ARDC Midgets saw former champ Andy Martin grab the early lead and run
away and hide from the rest of the field. However, 17th starting Billy
Pauch, Jr. had raced into second with 2 laps to go and then got the
yellow he had hoped for. This brought leader Andy Martin back in sight
for the restart and Martin drove flawlessly to just hold off Pauch
Jr’s bid for his first win with ARDC. P.J. Gargiulo was third
followed by A.J. Ernesto and Nick Wean.

In
the A-1 Racing Products Sportsman feature, Ryan Forte of Blue Anchor,
NJ ran away and hid in the 20 lap non-stop affair. John Stangle chased
Forte for most of the race and crossed the line in second. Frank Cozze
Jr., Rocco Infante and Chris Lane rounded out the top five. Kevin
Vaclavicek crossed the line fifth but was disqualified for being too
light across the scale.

Defending
Champion George Quinlan took home top honors in the Super Stock
division chased across the finish line by Todd Cray, Mick Search, Kory
Fleming and Bob Vaccaro. The Crate-1 Sportsman feature also saw two of
the top finishers DQ’d. Winner Pat Hires and third place finisher
John Haegele were disqualified for having illegal Carburaters. Richie
Cass, Sr. got the win, his fifth of the year, followed by Gabe Fox and
Archie Myers.
This Wednesday night, August 20th, it will be the 4th AND 5th leg of
the New Egypt/Bridgeport Dual Track Series will take place at New
Egypt Speedway. That’s right, not one but two Garden State Dual
Track Series events will be run that night as the program will begin
with the make-up B Main and 30 lap Dual Track feature event rained out
on July 5th after qualifying heats had been run. Also being made up
will be the very popular Modified Match races which also fell victim
to the weather on July 5th. Then the Mods will do battle again in a
full program capped off by the 30 lap Dual track event. A Sportsman
Invitational race is also on tap for this evening. For more
