THE JERSEY RUSH V, 410 SPRINTS & MODIFIED DOUBLE-HEADER AT NEW EGYPT SPEEDWAY TUESDAY, AUGUST 25

NEW EGYPT, NJ  – The roar of the crowd, the purr of racing engines, side-by-side wheel-to-wheel action. These are the sights and sounds of the fastest cars in dirt track racing and they come together on Tuesday, August 25 when NAPA Auto Parts and Pioneer Pole Buildings present JERSEY RUSH V.  As part of this thrilling double header the 410 Sprint Cars and the Modifieds –the region’s two most popular divisions -- make a rare joint appearance at the New Egypt Speedway.   Gates will open at 5 PM plus a free Pit Side Meet & Greet will take place from 5 to 6 PM.  Racing action will take the green flag at 7:30 PM.  New Egypt Speedway is located on Route 539 in New Egypt, NJ.  This event is presented by NAPA Auto Parts and Pioneer Pole Buildings.

With over 900 horsepower and weighing only 1400 lbs., these machines average over 120mph at the 1/2 mile clay oval in Ocean County, New Jersey.  The drivers of these machines are the gutsiest of them all and these brave pilots will compete for a possible $5,000 jackpot in the 30 lap co-main event. 

 Sprint competitors will Time Trial to determine their starting spot in a 10 lap qualifying event, with an invert making things more interesting.  The top two finishers in each qualifying event will re-draw along with the three fastest qualified cars to determine the starting positions in the A-Main.  The remainder of the field will be determined in a 12 lap B-Main event.

Racing in uncharted territory has helped fortify the careers of Sprint Car upstarts Ryan Smith of Kunkletown, PA and JJ Grasso of Middletown, DE – both of these talented drivers claimed their first Sprint Car victories at JERSEY RUSH in 2014 and 2011, respectively.  Grasso would go on to win again in 2013 with World of Outlaws Champion Daryn Pittman claiming the win in 2012.

Drivers like Greg Hodnett, Lucas Wolfe, Lance Dewease, Freddie Rahmer, Kyle Reinhart  and recent Thunder on the Hill feature winner “Double D” Danny Dietrich  are probable competitors challenging for over $25,000 in prize money.  The lucrative payout will offer a $5,000 to win, $1,000 for tenth position and $400 to start.

A unique rules package will highlight the Modified event – Big Block Modifieds will compete with a standard body package, whereas, Small Block Modifieds will have the option to compete with the popular sail panels.  The 30 lap event will offer a $3,000 top prize to competitors.

New Egypt Speedway’s winningest driver, Frenchtown, NJ’s Billy Pauch has claimed victories in three of the past four JERSEY RUSH events but with expected entries from Ryan Godown, Jimmy Blewett, Jimmy Horton and Duane Howard the event winner will certainly be able to say he earned his prize money.
