DeLorenzo, Pratt, Decker Win Big Races; Tidbits

Well, as you guys may have noticed, I haven't done a good job of updating this thing. Unfortunately, this once a week updating will probably continue for another 2 weeks, getting set up with school has been taking up a lot of time.

Anyway, last night, August 26th, the CVRA vs. The World returned with Matt DeLorenzo holding off a hard charging Dave Camara to collect the $5,000 pay-day. The Tri-Track Series was also in action last night at New Egypt Speedway, and it appeared as if Billy Pauch had the race well in hand, until suspension problems caused him to slow on the final lap, giving Richie Pratt the big win.

Tonight, August 27th, Mr. Dirt Track USA returned to Lebanon Valley Speedway for a $17,500 to win Super Dirt Series race. Brett Hearn led early, but just after the 1/2 way point was forced pitside with problems, handing the lead to Jimmy Phelps. Late in the race, Phelps had rear-end problems ending his night, and handing the big payday to Billy Decker, rounding out the top 5 were Eddie Marshall, Matt Sheppard, D0nnie Corellis, and Jeff Brownell.

Also, in case you didn't realize, Tim McCreadie has been tabbed as the new driver of the Vinnie Salerno owned small block modified. McCreadie will drive the car in select specials, including all small block races during Super Dirt Week. McCreadie will also return to the Sweetner's Plus #39 big block modified for the Rite-Aid 200.

Also, Billy Pauch and Glenn Hyneman have parted ways. Pauch will drive a few shows in a second Bob Greene owned small block, running as a teammate to his son, Billy Pauch Jr. He will also run his Kevin Bilfulco owned #1 big block modified at New Egypt and a few other specials. Rumors have a huge name going into the Hyneman 126, but they have yet to be confirmed.
