Laubach and Coyle Shine in NES Day #1 Action

New Egypt, NJ (October 4, 2008) – Rick Laubach of Quakertown, PA & Chris Coyle of Wilmington, DE  shared the glory on Saturday night at New Egypt Speedway as each posted victories on day #1 of the season finale Rocktoberfest weekend. Laubach captured the $4000 to win 40 lap open competition 358 Modified feature on NJ Allstate Insurance night, his third win of the year and. Coyle finally put it all together as he captured his first ever win at New Egypt Speedway, in the Rislone URC Sprint Car Series 25-lap event.

In the 358 Modified feature, polesitter Keith Hoffman took command of the event early and appeared to be the best car on this evening as he opened up what appeared to be a comfortable lead. Laubach would have something to say about this, as he ran down Hoffman and then passed him for the lead on lap #12. Once in front, it then appeared as if Laubach would run away and hide, until Hoffman got a second life and closed in on Laubach over the final 10 laps. Hoffman actually pulled even on several occasions as Jeff Strunk raced into the picture as well, but Laubach was up the challenge as he held on for the well deserved victory. Hoffman settled for second as Strunk faded back as he broke the rear in the car with just two laps remaining, keeping him from being able to make a serious challenge. Jimmy Chester drove home in third, Ryan Watt who started 20th finished 4th and Sportsman champion Willie Osmun rounded out the top five.

Chris Coyle posted his 8th career win with URC Saturday, his first ever win at New Egypt Speedway. After a crowd pleasing dual for the lead for 10 straight laps, Coyle wrestled the lead away from Dave Ely on lap 15 to assume command and then flew to the popular victory. Trevor Lewis came home second over Ely, Kramer Williamson and last years winner of this event Ed Aiken. J.J. Grasso, who had won all four events at NES this season, and 5 of the last 6, was out of the event early as he flipped wildly in turn one on lap 4 after his front wing had broken. Grasso was uninjured in the violent wreck.

In the Crate-1 Sportsman 20 lap feature, Mike Barone made his first appearance of the year count as he cruised home to his first win. Jon Heagele finished a strong second after a late race rally. John Romano, Jr. was third behind the wheel of the Barnstead racing #55, Pat Hires crossed the line in fourth while Ray Woodall, Jr. completed the top five.

The 20 lap Super Stock feature saw Kory Fleming of Milford, NJ win his first event of 2008, taking the season finale. Fleming had to hold off 2 time champ Rob Ormsbee most of the race to post the victory. Billy Bauer grabbed second on the final lap, as Ormsbee raced home in third. Bill Liedtka was fourth and last years defending champ George Quinlan finished fifth.

Tomorrow, Sunday afternoon, October 5, FEDex presents the Big Block Modifieds as they compete in the 7th leg of the 8 race Garden State Dual Track Series.
