The Garden State Vintage Stock Car Club visited New Egypt Speedway this past Saturday night. On display was the beautifully restored Kenny Weld #91 Modified. I understand that this was the car's maiden voyage out on the track since being restored.Joe over at 3widespicturevault.com tells a neat story about how Billy Pauch liked the 91 car so much he built a car to look like it. Read about it

Wall had a decent turnout for their first Cruise Night of 2011. Wall will be hosting their Cruise Night on the final Friday of each month through September. What I really like about the Wall Cruise Night is that there are no restrictions on year or make or anything. Antiques, muscle, late models, VW bugs, all seem to be welcome. Except for Donks! (just kidding). Read more about it here.

Here's some nice video from New Egypt Speedway on May 29, 2010. First up is a nice clean Modified heat.I also included for the first time an Outlaw Stock heat, just because I like watching these guys run. Brian Ludwig, running on a tight budget, makes a nice pass in 4 to take the lead and win the heat.I also includes some hot laps of Mark Bitner running his wingless sprint car in preparation for

The Garden State Vintage Stock Car Club had some nice cars on hand last night at New Egypt Speedway. Their website is http://www.gsvscc.org. Here's a video of some of these guys getting around NES last night:Here's a few photos I managed to get. I missed a bunch more cars that were parked off turn 4 earlier in the evening.

Jimmy Horton in Victory LaneLast night was a decent night of racing at NES, with the show moving along quickly due to the threat of rain. Rain did finally come at 9:30, cutting short the Speedster feature, which I wasn't watching anyway. It kind of felt like a two division night since the Speedsters and Late Models didn't really do it for me. NES needed the Sprint class running last night to

Last night at New Egypt Speedway was crazy! Jimmy Blewett's debut in a Sportsman Modified (he was clean and competitive), wild finishes in every feature, and a fist fight between Pat Wall and an NES official.I usually show a video of a Modified heat, but today I just had to show you the Modified Consi. That's because Billy Pauch, Rick Laubach, John Guarino, Keith Hoffman, Gary Butler, Tim Tanner

New Egypt Speedway keeps getting better. Saturday night's show was well run as each division put on some great racing, and all the racing was wrapped up by 9:30 or so.Rick Laubach earned his second Modified victory of the season after a hard fought battle with John Guarino. Scott Dugan won the Outlaw Stock feature for what I believe is his very first win at New Egypt Speedway. For complete

I enjoyed another great night of racing at New Egypt Speedway tonight. With bad weather approaching, there was a sense of urgency in the air, and they managed to get the show completed in about three and a half hours.Billy Pauch won the Modified feature in dominating fashion after Rick Laubach suffered an uncharacteristic spin while running mid pack. Rick fought back to finish 10th I think. For

New Egypt Speedway had a great opening night on Saturday April 17 with something like 40 Modifieds. Here's a bit of the action from Modified Heat 3. Carberry (not sure which one) breaks and spins, Danny Johnson blows the motor fighting for the lead, and Tim Tanner Jr. and Domenick Buffalino fight hard, but clean, for position. This if my first shot using an HD format on YouTube. Depending on

Bobby Drayton won the Modified feature after starting 20th.Pauch was looking strong early, but after a tough restart with Johnny Guarino that saw Pauch slide from from 2nd to 5th or so, Pauch and Laubach tangled,
