New Egypt, NJ – In a year plagued by rainouts, New Egypt Speedway has been forced to cancel its 2018 Modified Points Finale. It will not be rescheduled and David VanHorn is the 2018 New Egypt Speedway Modified champion worth $10,000.

“This championship is just as much for my team as it is me, they worked their tails off weekly for this”, said VanHorn.

It is his first career New Egypt Speedway track championship and he did so without winning a weekly points event, his only win on the season came during the Garden State Gunfight on Wednesday night June 27th.

Attention now turns to this Saturday night when the United States Air Force presents Championship Night this Saturday night September 15th. The Larry’s Hot Rods & Harley’s Northeast Wingless Sprint Cars, Hammer Sportsman, Crate Modifieds, Street Stocks and the 4-Cylinders will all be in action as they crown their 2018 track champions.

Pit admission is $30 with a New Egypt Speedway license and $40 with no license. Spectator gates will open at 4PM with racing beginning at 6PM!

Then on Saturday night September 22nd will be the 2nd Annual Legends of the Fall 75 at New Egypt Speedway. The 75-Lap Modified race will pay $7,500 to the winner and $500 to start and will feature Short Track Super Series South Region rules with Sail Panels on all the Modifieds. The Crate vs. Sportsman will also be on the card in a 35-Lap feature paying $1,000 to win and $100 to start. Racing will begin at 7PM on September 22nd.
