FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Elliott & Liedl Share New Egypt Spotlight
New Egypt, NJ (May 11, 2007) Ricky Elliott of Seaford, DE rebounded
back from a lap two tangle and went on to capture the 25 lap Super
Late Model feature event on Friday night at New Egypt Speedway.
Elliott passed leader Kenny Pettyjohn with just 4 laps remaining to
complete his charge to the front where he held on to claim the $2500
top prize.
"My hat's off to track crew," stated Elliott, "They gave us a great
track to race on tonight. You could pass anywhere and we were able to
use that to our advantage. I know they have worked hard here (at New
Egypt), this is a great deal they have put together for the Super
Late Models and we are going to support it whenever we can!"
Rob Ormsbee grabbed the lead at the start driving his own #119. On
lap three, Ormsbee spun in turn #2 triggering a seven car pileup
which included Elliott and Pettyjohn. On the restart, Kenny's
brother David Pettyjohn assumed command followed by Mark Malcomb. By
lap 10 Elliott and Kenny Pettyjohn had caught the two frontrunners
and a crowd-pleasing 4 car battle for the lead ensued. Kenny
Pettyjohn used some nifty moves to gain the race lead with Elliott
keeping the pressure on. After 6 laps of side by side racing,
Elliott finally made the winning pass as he swung around the outside
of Pettyjohn and went on to capture the first ever regular Super Late
Model event at New Egypt Speedway. David Pettyjohn came back to
finish second, with Malcomb, Ormsbee and Bill Liedtka completing the
top five.
In the Lucas Ford SS Sprint main event, Art Liedl of Flemington, NJ
won his first of the year, the 16th of his career. Liedl showed his
grit as he held of a hard charging Kevin Nagy over the final 2 laps
to win by three feet. Nagy finished second followed by Mark Bitner,
Tom Wyckoff and Lee Taylor Jr.
The Keystone Legends tour made their first of three scheduled
appearances tonight with Rodney Kistler taking top honors in the 15
lap event. Kistler used every groove on the track as he raced 3 and 4
wide on his march to the front. Grabbing the lead with 5 to go,
Kistler held on for a popular win over a fast Josh Morrow. Craig
Rochelle settled for third, followed by Steve Nederostek & Jason
Rochelle.
In the 15 lap Outlaw Stock feature Jeff Dirkes picked up the win when
first place finisher Pat Conaway was penalized two spots for his
contact with race long leader Gary Klimeczak with 5 laps remaining.
Klimeczak spun but was able to continue and without a caution flag
the rest of the way the penalty was assessed at the end. Brian
Ludwig ended up with a second place finish with Conaway being placed
third. Rob Longo came home in fourth followed by Chris Felber fifth.
In the Crate 1 Sportsman feature event, E.J. Harrington of , NJ won
for the first time in his career. Pat Hires finished a strong second,
trailed by Dave Gorbatuk, Mike Fattori and Scott Cranstoun.
