8.18.18 New Egypt Speedway Results

New Egypt, NJ (August 19, 2018) – At Eastern AutoParts Warehouse’s Jeep Night, Ryan Krachun marched back into New Egypt Speedway’s victory lane by winning the Modified feature. The Hammer Sportsman main event was won by Bob Lineman Jr. Karl Freyer was triumphant in the Larry’s Hot Rods & Harley’s Northeast Wingless Sprint Car feature.

As the 30-lap Modified feature got underway, PJ Oliver grabbed the lead. Sixth place starting Ryan Krachun was quickly on the move as he traveled into the runner-up spot with three laps in the books. After the yellow lights illuminated on the third circuit, Oliver was still on top with Krachun in second and Billy Pauch Jr., who started the contest in eleventh, motoring into third. Krachun was beginning to reel in Oliver just before two appearances of the yellow flag on the seventh revolution. Once racing resumed, Krachun raced past Oliver to gain first place with Pauch Jr. slipping into second and Oliver, Steve Davis and Jimmy Horton next in line. Following an additional caution period, Krachun was still setting the pace at the halfway point with Pauch Jr., Davis, Oliver and TJ Lilly completing the top five. One tour later, Horton would work his way past Lilly to regain fifth. With ten laps to go, Krachun had a three-car advantage over Pauch. Jr. On lap twenty one, David VanHorn, who was the point leader entering the race, stopped in the fourth corner to bring out the final yellow flag of the contest. When the green flag waved, Krachun repelled another challenge by Pauch Jr. to maintain his lead with Oliver, Davis, and Horton rounding out the top five. With only five to go, Krachun and Pauch Jr. had pulled away from the field with Krachun having a two-car length advantage. Over the final tours, Krachun continued his strong pace to record his third career checkered flag and his first since 2015. With Pauch Jr. finishing in second, Oliver netted third. Davis came home in fourth and Horton captured fifth. The Modified heat races were claimed by PJ Oliver, Steve Davis, and Billy Pauch Jr. Brandon Grosso was the victor in the consolation contest.

In the non-stop feature for the Hammer Sportsman, Bob Lineman Jr. led from start to finish to win the 20-lap race. The victory was the second of the year for Lineman Jr. and the eighteenth of his career at New Egypt Speedway. Tenth place starting Cale Ross took the runner-up spot after a good battle with Will Dupree. With Dupree finishing third, David Burns was fourth. Ryan Heim, the 2018 Rookie Champion, completed the contest in fifth. David Burns and Bob Lineman Jr. won the qualifying events for the Hammer Sportsman.

After gaining the lead from Duane Nixon on the sixth circuit, Karl Freyer paced the field for the remaining distance to take the 20-lap feature for the Larry’s Hot Rods & Harley’s Northeast Wingless Sprint Cars. The victory was Freyer’s third of the season as he continues to sit on top of the point standings. Rich Mellor followed Freyer across the finish line. Third went to Lee Nardelli. Jordan Lawrence and Dan Malley filled out the top five. The heat races in the Larry’s Hot Rods & Harley’s Northeast Wingless Sprint Cars division were taken by Brian Spencer and Duane Nixon.
