Billy Pauch continued his dominance at New Egypt Speedway was his 2nd Tuesday-night victory in 2-weeks, as he picked up the $3,000 victory. He now has 12 wins on the season, all of which have come at New Egypt.

Stewart Friesen has also been enjoying a solid season, after Jim Gabriel blew a tire late in the race while leading, Friesen passed Steve Hulsizer for the lead and never looked back, picking up his 18th win of the season, tying him with Matt Sheppard for the most on the year. I-88 Speedway is the sixth track Friesen has won at this year, he's also picked up victories at Volusia, Brewerton, Five Mile Point, and Utica Rome.

Danny Johnson was driving for Mark Forte Sr tonight at New Egypt. Also, we've learned that Jim Crawn has decided to once again enter retirement. The former Five Mile Point big block champion picked up a victory earlier this year at Thunder Mountain Speedway. Brian Malcolm will run for the team that Crawn vacated the rest of the year.
