New Egypt, NJ (May 6, 2018) – During the Round of 24 for the May Madness
Modified Series, Danny Bouc bested the Modified field at New Egypt Speedway.
The Hammer Sportsman feature was won by Pat Wall. Joe Toth took the
checkered flag in the Crate Modified main event. Eric Jennings scored the
victory in the Larry’s Hot Rods & Harley’s Northeast Wingless Sprint Car
feature. The 8-lap Lyons Construction/Metal Fab Rookie Sportsman feature was
taken by Ryan Heim. Joe Garey, Sr. claimed the top prize in the 4-Cylinder
race.

As the 30-lap Modified feature got underway, JR Fulper jumped out to the
front with Steve Davis and Brian Papiez next in line. Eighth place starting
Danny Bouc quickly began to move forward and was in second place with five
tours completed. On the sixth circuit, a slowing Bryan Kuhl brought out the
first yellow flag. When the green flag waved again, Bouc blasted by Fulper
to take the lead with David VanHorn driving into third. VanHorn, who started
the contest in ninth, slipped by Fulper on lap nine to take over second.
Following another caution period on the ninth revolution, Bouc held off
VanHorn to maintain his advantage with Billy Pauch, Jr. taking third from
Fulper. After a trio of cautions at the halfway point, Bouc was still pacing
the field over VanHorn and Pauch, Jr. with Ryan Godown running in fourth
after starting the race in twenty-fifth position using a backup car. Over
the next several laps, Bouc was feeling pressure from VanHorn for the lead
while Pauch, Jr. and Godown were dueling for third. With five laps remaining
and Bouc approaching slower traffic, the yellow lights illuminated for Brian
Roemer. During this appearance of the caution flag, Ryan Godown relinquished
fourth place as he visited his pit stall. With the restart marred by a
multi-car tangle, green flag racing finally resumed with Bouc retaining his
edge over VanHorn and Pauch, Jr. Over the final laps, Bouc went unchallenged
to win his ninth career Modified checkered flag at New Egypt Speedway. With
the victory, Bouc has automatically qualified for the final round of the May
Madness Modified Series. With VanHorn taking second, Pauch, Jr. came home in
third. Eleventh place starting Ryan Krachun finished fourth. Brandon Grosso
came from fifteenth to complete the race in fifth. Steve Davis, Danny Bouc
and Brian Papiez were victorious in the heat races for the Modifieds.

Pat Wall celebrated his birthday by winning the 20-lap Hammer Sportsman
feature for the second time this season. Joseph Brown led the opening
thirteen tours before the eighth place starting Wall assumed command of the
race. Bob Lineman, Jr. was second with Art Liedl finishing third. Bill
Liedtka was fourth and David Burns rounded out the top five. Hammer
Sportsman qualifying events were won by Pat Wall and Billy Osmun.

With the time limit reached in the scheduled 20-lap Crate Modified feature,
Joe Toth was scored as the winner with eighteen circuits completed. Toth
took the lead from Paul Hartwig on the second circuit and paced the field
for the remainder of the contest for his first career victory at New Egypt
Speedway. Connor King drove up from his fourteenth place start to take the
runner-up spot. Jeremy Martino, John Criscione and Kyle Kania completed the
top five. Joe Toth and Ryan Simmons were the winners in the Crate Modified
heat races.

In the 20-lap main event for the Larry’s Hot Rods & Harley’s Northeast
Wingless Sprint Cars, Eric Jennings grabbed the lead from Larry Drake on the
sixth tour and led the rest of the way to win his second feature of the
year. Rich Mellor was second with Heidi Hedin placing third. Karl Freyer
finished in fourth and fifth place went to Brian Spencer. Larry Drake was
the victor in the qualifying race for the Larry’s Hot Rods & Harley’s
Northeast Wingless Sprint Cars.

For the third time in four races, Ryan Heim topped his rivals in the 8-lap
Lyons Construction/Metal Fab Rookie Sportsman feature. Paige Brown led the
race for the opening three circuits before Heim took command. Brown
concluded the contest in second. Matt Miller finished in third. Fourth went
to Kevin Borden, Jr. and Bobby Holzwarth was fifth.

Joe Garey, Sr. racked up his second 2018 visit to victory lane by leading
every step of the way in the 15-lap race for the 4-Cylinders. Justin Dunn,
Jim Backowski, Scott Dunn and Joe Garey, Jr. finished in order behind the
winner.
