Bridgeport, NJ – Boyertown, PA driver Ryan Watt has been the Bridgeport Track Champion on five different occasions including four big block modified titles on the original Bridgeport 5/8 mile speedway. The high banks of the Bridgeport Motorsports Park have challenged the multi-time champion – that’s no secret! However, his first Saturday night victory on Foley Caterpillar Night was the reward for a lot of hard work and dedication by Watt and his team. Good guys don’t always finish last!
“We’ve been fast here – we just haven’t had any luck,” stated the feature winner, as he recalled two race nights this season that he and his Ron Roberts No. 14w were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Saturday night’s win was Watt’s first of the season and his first with the Troyer car that he built for the 2022 season. It’s been a work in progress that took a leap forward in Saturday night’s feature event. Joseph Watson started outside of the front row of the Danny’s Pizza Pizzazz Modified feature event and grabbed the lead at the wave of Ken Golden’s green flag. After one false start, Watson had the new Blue Hen No. 30 out in front, running the high line around the high banks. As Watson completed lap five over Roger Manning, Matt Stangle and Jim Gallagher, Watt was battling with defending champion, Ryan Godown for fifth.
Watson led the field through halfway. Matt Stangle took the lead on lap sixteen and then Watson slowed with a broken drive line. The restart saw Stangle and Watt line up on the front row with Godown and Ryan Krachun one row back. Krachun had raced his way to fourth from his twenty-first place starting position.
Stangle took the outside for the restart but the caution quickly waved again for a multi-car incident that saw Ryan Godown head pitside with a flat tire. He rejoined the field for the restart.
Watt grabbed the lead as he and Stangle raced out of turn two. Watt immediately pulled away, leading Stangle, Krachun, Richie Pratt, Jr. and Danny Bouc with ten to go.
Billy Pauch, Jr. raced with Bouc for several laps before he was able to get by Bouc to take over fifth.
The field raced through lapped traffic in the final laps. Watt took the checkered over Stangle, Krachun, Pratt and Pauch. Bouc followed in sixth with Roger Manning, Davey Sammons, Jordan Watson and Billy Osmun III rounding out the top ten.
Godown, Stangle, Watson and Gallagher won the F&L Door heat races with Krachun picking up the win in the consolation.
Mike Hughes led the way in the Izzy Trucking & Rigging Street Stock feature. Hughes led the way through eight laps as he crossed the stripe side-by-side with Rob Ormsbee. The battle for the lead continued around the track. Contact was made in turns three and four.
Hughes spun while Ormsbee was able regain control and continue. Tom Wills, Jr. was the new leader with Ormsbee restarting in fourth and Hughes restarting at the rear of the field.
Ormsbee raced into second on the restart and then took the lead for lap nine. Wills and Jeramy Doerr raced side by side for second with Lee Allen and Hughes rounding out the top five.
Doerr moved up to second before the caution waved when Drew Brocklebank spun in turn two. Doerr headed to the pits during the caution with mechanical issues. Allen moved into second on the restart and this move would prove to be the move of the race.
Ormsbee took the checkered for the win but then failed post-race tech, moving Allen up to first. Wills, Jr. finished second followed by Hughes, Brocklebank and Nick Sandone.
Ormsbee was the winner of the Cenco Oil Street Stock heat race.
Thomas Prychka made it three in a row in the DA’s Auto Body & Repair Rookie feature event. Prychka led every lap to take the win over Mike Baldwin and Dan Hulmes. Geoffrey Sutton was the winner of the Vahlco Wheels Xcel 600 Modified feature over Korey Inglin and Chris Fribal. Fribal picked up the win in the Hisko Lowboy heat race.
Wednesday night the Eastern Storm blows into Bridgeport with the arrival of the Amsoil USAC Wingless Sprints. Robert Ballou was the winner of last year’s event and will be here to defend that title along with the stars of USAC like Justin Grant, CJ Leary, Brady Bacon and Thomas Meseraull. Local stars like Briggs Danner, Alex Bright, Tim Buckwalter and Steven Drevicki will also be competing in this event.
This coming Saturday marks the first of three Saturday Night Rumble events. The Danny’s Pizza Pizzazz Modifieds will race in a 40 lap feature with $6,000 going to the winner. This race will be the Doug Hoffman Memorial Race which was postponed at the start of the season. The Precision Hydraulic & Oil 602 Sportsman, Street Stocks, 4 Cylinders and Rookies will all be a part of this big Saturday night show.

One lap later, a jingle in turn three had Godown heading to the pits to change a right rear flat. On the restart, the field got bottled up that resulted in a multi-car incident in turn four that required some time to clear. All cars were able to continue with the exception of Clay Butler and Joseph Watson whose cars were locked together.

It was a green and checkered finish with Sammons leading Pauch, Krachun, Buffalino and Stangle to the stripe.

Rick Stief led the Mid-Atlantic Sprint Series feature sponsored by Bob Hilbert Sportswear through lap twenty-three but Rory Janney had closed in on the leader and was positioned to challenge as the lead cars navigated their way through lapped traffic. Janney grabbed the lead on lap twenty-four as CJ Faison was quickly closing in on the leader. Faison completed the pass by Stief and had Janney in his cross-hairs as the raced through turns three and four but time and racing room were in short supply as Janney raced to the checkered flag.

Bridgeport, NJ – The NOS Energy World of Outlaws sprint cars invaded the Bridgeport Motorsports Park on Tuesday eveningand thrilled the Standing Room Only crowd who poured into the grandstands for hours before the show’s start time. The win came down to the wire in a wheel-to-wheel battle between second generation driver, Sheldon Haudenschild and 2021 NASCAR Champion, Kyle Larson while drivers Donny Schatz, 2021 race winner, Logan Schuchart, hard charger, Anthony Macri, rookie James McFadden and crowd favorite, Rico Abreu battled for position behind the leaders. Haudenschild praised the track crew for “bringing the track back to life for the feature.” The race winner had to race his way into the lead on three separate occasions. “I didn’t expect the track to be that good,” Haudenschild stated. “Larson ran the middle and I just had to move up a lane,” the race winner said about his battle for the win. In addition to the Outlaws vs the PA Posse, fans were thrilled to have drivers like Larson and fellow NASCAR competitors, Christopher Bell and Alex Bowman in the field. Car owner, Kasey Kahne joined his driver and three-time Outlaw Champion, Brad Sweet on the track. USAC EC Wingless drivers, Briggs Daner and Alex Bright also competed with Danner locking into the main event in his first ever Outlaw appearance and with just a handful of winged events under his belt. The weather was great and the field of thirty-three left nothing on the table when the checkered flag waved. The WoO officials ranked this race as of their top five events. It was great racing among great drivers that left no room for disappointment among the fans. Polesitter, Schatz could not deflect Haudenschild’s first lap challenge as the NOS Energy driver raced into the lead on lap one after a side-by-side trip down the backstretch. Haudenschild put some distance on the field as Schatz continued in second followed by Larson, Abreu and Schuchart. Larson moved into second before ten laps were scored and began to close in on the leader as they raced through lapped traffic. Haudenschild took the crossed flags over Larson and Schatz with Schuchart moving up to fourth wtih a pass by Abreu. Haudenschild faced his first challenge on lap sixteen as Larson closed in and challenged for the lead. Larson held the advantage as they crossed the stripe on lap sixteen. Haudenschild was back in control on laps seventeen through nineteen but Larson came back to lead with five to go. Larson had the lead in the Paul Silva wrenched No. 57 with five to go and then the caution waved on the next circuit when KaseyKahne slowed with a right rear tire. Four laps remained as the field lined up nose to tail for the final time. The green flag waved and Larson ran down the hill from turn four banking, leading Haudenschild to the restart as Schuchart took third over Schatz and Macri broke into the top five from his fourteenth place start. Larson led laps twenty-one and twenty-two but Haudenschild was back in front on lap twenty-three and led the way to the checkered. Schatz raced back into third and then challenged Larson for second. Haudenschild took the $10,000 payday – his third WoO win this season. Larson bested Schatz for second. Schuchart and Macri completed the top five. McFadden continued to help his cause with a sixth place run to add to his rookie season. Abreu finished seventh with Jacob Allen, Spencer Bayston and David Gravel completing the top ten. Haudenschild had high praise for his race team and the preparation of the No. 17 for this race. Larson took the responsibility for not making it to the winner’s circle. “I just didn’t do a good job,” Larson commented. He was probably alone in that opinion. Schuchart, the winner of the 2021 Bridgeport event, was making his way forward. and was actually hurt by the caution. “I didn’t need the caution,” Schuchart explained. “The tires sealed over under the caution,” ending Schuchart’s bid to improve his finish. Haudenschild set quick time in pre-race time trials. Macri was the race’s Hard Charger racing from fourteenth to fifth at the checkered flag. The Bridgeport Motorsports Park Street Stocks made their first mid-week appearance. TJ Henry took the win after leading every one of the fifteen laps of the main event. Rob Ormsbee debuted a new red, white and blue No. 19 and raced his way into second late in the race. After giving Henry a run for his money earlier, current Street Stock point leader, Mike Hughes finished third.
