Laubach/Blewett Part Ways

Two-time defending New Egypt Speedway points champion Rick Laubach has parted ways with Blewett Motorsports, following a disappointing start to the season at New Egypt. Laubach will continue to run Saturday nights at New Egypt Speedway, more than likely with the Herman Motorsports #7. Laubach will also continue to run Big Diamond on Fridays with the Herman/Beer City Racing #7.

Highlights From the Weekend...

With Fulton, Canandaigua, Brewerton, Fonda, and Glen Ridge all being rained out, there aren't as many highlight videos to watch this week. However, there's still plenty to check out, thanks again to all the videographers that put the time into shooting and editing their videos.

At Big Diamond Speedway it was Craig Von Dohren who added another Diamond win to his legendary career.

Grandview Speedwaysaw Doug Manmiller end his win drought at the Bechtelsville oval.

Billy Pauch continued his dominance at New Egypt Speedway picking up his seventh win of the season, already. NOTE: Modified heat race crash shown 1st, then sportsman highlights, followed by mods.

Finally, watch basically the entire feature at Utica Rome Speedway, where Alan Johnson won his third race of 2011, at his third different track.

BELOW: Watch Lebanon Valley Speedway highlights, as Brett Hearn charges to pick up the win.

Howard & Bartemy Win Mid-Week Specials

Duane Howard and Adam Bartemy picked up $2,500 small block wins on Tuesday night. Howard did it at the Thunder on the Hill Series race at Grandview Speedway, and Bartemy won the dirt modified special at Dunn Tire Raceway Park. I-88 Speedway was also scheduled to run, but that event was postponed after heats were run, racing will resume tonight.

Also, Bridgeport has rescheduled the rained out feature from a few weeks ago to be run on July 19, along with a complete show for the big block modifieds. This race was not originally scheduled, so be sure to mark your calendars.

Here are the top finishers at Grandview and Dunn Tire...
