New Egypt, NJ (August 5, 2018) – On National Parts Supply’s Scout Night at
New Egypt Speedway, Danny Bouc bagged his second Modified feature of the
season. The Hammer Sportsman feature was captured by Joseph Brown. Rich
Mellor claimed the Larry’s Hot Rods & Harley’s Northeast Wingless Sprint Car
main event.

As the 30-lap feature for the Modifieds got underway, PJ Oliver grabbed the
lead over Davey Sammons and Bryan Kuhl. By the seventh tour, the top two of
Oliver and Sammons were engaged in a duel for the top spot. On the next
circuit, Sammons had just taken command when the yellow flag appeared as
Oliver appeared to have grazed the inside guardrail in the fourth turn and
spun. After another caution on lap nine for a flat on Matt Stangle’s ride,
Sammons was still in control with John McClelland and fourteenth place
starting Billy Pauch Jr. next in line. Following another caution and
restart, Sammons was still setting the pace with Pauch Jr., McClelland,
Danny Bouc and David VanHorn in tow as the contest reached the halfway
point. Just after the midway mark of the race, Bouc, who started the feature
in sixteenth, moved his racecar to the upper groove and the tactical change
quickly helped his efforts to move forward. On lap eighteen, Bouc drove by
Sammons to take over the front running spot just before the yellow lights
illuminated for a multi-car tangle on the track. When the green flag waved
again, Bouc remained in first with Pauch Jr. motoring into the runner-up
spot for one lap until VanHorn ascended into second on the next revolution.
As the event progressed into the final third, the scoreboard showed Bouc in
front with VanHorn in second and Sammons in third. With five to go, Bouc was
pulling away from his rivals as Sammons was using the high line to reel in
VanHorn for second. On lap twenty-six, Sammons swept past VanHorn to retake
the spot. Over the closing laps, Bouc continued to increase his advantage to
take his second win of the season and tenth of his career at New Egypt
Speedway. A strong run by Sammons netted the Modified rookie second place.
With VanHorn finishing third, Brandon Grosso was fourth and McClelland came
home in fifth. The Modified heat races were won by David VanHorn, Davey
Sammons and Billy Pauch Jr.

After taking the lead from Bob Rambone on the second circuit, Joseph Brown
survived several restarts in the first half of the 20-lap Hammer Sportsman
feature to capture his first career checkered flag. Brown, who was a rookie
at New Egypt Speedway in 2017, started the race in third. Pat Wall followed
Brown and finished in second place. Third place was taken by Jimmy Amato.
Will Dupree was fourth and fifth went to Cale Ross. Joseph Brown and Pat
Wall were victors in the qualifying events for the Hammer Sportsman.

In the 20-lap Larry’s Hot Rods & Harley’s Northeast Wingless Sprint Car
feature, Rich Mellor took the lead with six circuits to go and survived a
late restart to gain his first career victory. Duane Nixon led the field for
the opening nine tours before Jermain Godshall gained the top spot following
a restart. Using an inside maneuver in the fourth corner, the fifth place
starting Mellor hopped to the front of the field on lap fourteen. Mellor
repelled a challenge by Lee Nardelli following a caution period with two
laps left to snare the win. Nardelli was second with Karl Freyer taking
third. Heidi Hedin, the heat race winner, and Brian Spencer completed the
top five.
