New Esypt Speedway results 2000-09-30

New Egypt, NJ (Sept. 30) -- Former asphalt star Eddie Bohn of Freehold, NJ, finally found the fast line around New Egypt Speedway, ending a frustrating season on Saturday with a convincing Modified victory, his career-first on dirt. In the companion URC Sprint car event, Allentown, PA's Brian Seidel capitalized on Kramer Williamson's misfortune to notch his second win at the Central Jersey raceway.

"It's about time," said Bohn, after becoming the 19th different Mod winner on the New Egypt clay. "I think the monkey finally died of old age. We really struggled all year with this big-block. I'm glad we're finally here."

Bohn and three-time winner Tom Carberry tussled rail-to-rail in the 25-lap Modified event, before Bohn opened up and set sail with 10 to go. At the line, it was Bohn in a very popular performance over Carberry, invader Chip Slocum, Mike Hendershot and Steve Moss. Newly crowned division champ Billy Pauch made it to fourth before a turn 2 pileup on lap 17 put him pitside.

In the URC Sprint race, Kramer Williamson looked like a sure thing before his car failed him on lap 15. Seidel picked up the point and cruised over the line first over Mike Haggenbottom, Greg Coverdale, Scott Pursell and Steve Siegel.

Mt. Laurel, NJ's Jack Swain aced the 15-lap Sportsman race for his second win on the year, in a nipper with six-time winner Ryan Godown. Swain inched out Godown, Larry Archer, division champ Ron John Koczon and Chuck Flesch for the victory in the caution-plagued event.

Bill Gerber of Waterford, NJ, stole the lead from a flyin' Bryan Reed with two to go and went on to win his fourth of the year in the 15-lap Street Stock fray. Reed settled for second, with Al Cheney III, Pat Conaway and George Quinlan trailing at the line.

Winners of the OfficeMates 5 of Englewood Cliffs Lightning Lap Awards for fastest lap in a feature event were Pauch (Mods, 14.896), Koczon (Sportsman, 15.956) and Quinlan (Street Stock, 17.090).

Opdyke Lumber of Frenchtown and Belle Mead, NJ, sponsored the winner's trophies this night, as well as a T-shirt toss into the grandstands. TW Metals also contributed to the fan giveaway spree.

New Egypt Speedway will be dark next week, returning with its second annual Legends of the Fall season finale on Saturday, October 14. The afternoon special, a tribute to the region's retired stock car champs, will feature a $5,000-to-win 50-lapper for the big-block Modifieds, big-money races for the Sportsman and Street Stocks, and an exhibition of restored vintage race cars. Raindate is Sunday, October 15. Gates open at 12 noon, and the festivities get underway at 2:30 pm. Adult admission is $20, children 7-12 are $6, and kids 6 and under are free.
