BRIDGEPORT CLOSES OUT 2020 SEASON IN A BIG WAY

 

Bridgeport, NJ – Bridgeport’s Wild Card Weekend saw the Logan Township racing facility close out the 2020 racing season in a big way.  In spite of all of the loss, the obstacles and the uncertainties, Doug and Brittany Rose brought great racing to their Bridgeport Motorsports Park.  The Wild Card Weekend sponsored by John Blewett Inc. was a huge success with more than one hundred cars filling the Bridgeport pit area for every one of the three days of the weekend event.  It was such an awesome sight to see Modifieds lined up from the turn three access road all the way to the pits as they waited for their warm-up session on Sunday.

 

Pottsdam, NY driver, Mike Maresca closed out the Foley Cat Modified season with his win in the High Bank Classic 50.  Maresca’s win was a popular one as illustrated by the many competitors who extended congratulations to the feature winner as well as the response of the fans.

    

Maresca stopped at Bridgeport’s Wild Card Weekend last year while he traveled home from the World Finals in Charlotte and picked up a podium finish.  That was the final race on the 5/8th mile track.  This year, the Wild Card Weekend was on Maresca’s schedule.  Maresca had hoped to race in the Danny Serrano 100 but scheduling didn’t allow for his participation in September.  But he made sure to be a part of the final race of the season.

 

“Danny was really cool to me,” Maresca told the fans on Sunday.  “He was a good friend. As a matter of fact, he text me the day before he died.  We dedicate this win to Danny.”

 

The 2020 Fonda Champion showed a lot of speed all day, picking the win in his heat race.  He then raced from his ninth place start to take the lead on lap nineteen and he never looked back.

 

Jack Lehner, another out of state invader, led the first eleven laps of the High Bank Classic 50 before four time Bridgeport Champion, Ryan Watt raced into the lead, using the outside line.  

 

Rick Laubach brought out the yellow and then the red on lap fourteen with a fire onboard his Gary Hermann owned No. 7.  Laubach first steered away from other cars and then rolled the car to the infield where the fire truck was waiting.  Laubach escaped injury.

 

On the lap fourteen restart, Watt had Lehner and Maresca in a three way battle for the lead.  Watt won the battle and led through lap eighteen.  Alex Yankowski ran into problems with eighteen laps scored and the yellow flag waved once again.  Maresca raced into the lead on the restart.

 

Watt was able to stay with Maresca and even narrowed his lead as they raced through lapped traffic but Maresca raced to the checkered without a serious challenge.  Watt trailed Maresca to the finish for his second runner-up finish of the weekend.  

 

Richie Pratt had the Danny’s Pizza Pizazz No. 51 working anywhere he put it.  Pratt had a huge run on a lap twenty-nine restart that saw him race through the top five and challenge for second.  Watt regained the runner-up spot but Pratt picked up a podium finish in third at the end of fifty laps.  

 

Jimmy Blewett looked right at home on the new Bridgeport surface, bringing home the red, white and blue No. 76 in fourth.  Ryan Krachun made up for his disappointment in the Danny Serrano 100 the night before to finish fifth.  Billy Pauch, Dominick Buffalino, Billy Pauch, Jr., Jeff Strunk and Ryan Godown rounded out the top ten.  

 

Steve Davis came up with another win in the South Jersey Overhead Door 602 Sportsman feature after battling with race leader, Anthony Tramontana.  The cars of Tramontana and Davis got hooked together while Davis challenged for the lead.  Davis was eventually able to disconnect the No. 4 and continue but Tramontana was not as fortunate.  After leading the first seven laps, Tramontana had to restart from the rear.

 

Paul Mancini chased Davis to the finish followed by Jonathan Swift whose third place finish was a season best.  Stacy Jackson finished fourth with Steve Kemery picking up fifth late in the race after starting deep in the field.  Travis Hill, Dan Fleming, Adam White, Sammy Martz, Jr. and Howie Finch rounded out the top ten.

 

TJ Henry picked up the final win of the season in the Sunbelt Rental Street Stock twenty-five lap feature event.  For a while, it looked like the race might be a repeat of Friday night’s event as Lee Allen and Rich Stinson, Jr. were again battling for the lead.  Unfortunately, Stinson, the 2020 Champion, exited the raced prematurely with a mechanical issue.  Henry raced Allen for the lead and took over the top spot on lap eight.

 

Henry raced to yet another feature win over Allen, Mike Hughes, Jr., Jeramy Doerr and John Parker.  Mike Creamer, Drew Brocklebank, Andrew Joslin,  Spider Ensinger and Nick Sandone III completed the top ten at the finish line.

 

The USAC All Pro SpeedSTRs competed in two twenty lap feature events including the race rained out in September.

 

Kenny Miller III picked up the win in the first race, leading every lap from the green to the checkered in his DA Hanson No. 67.  It was Miller’s first win on the 4/10 mile track.  Miller had just won his first race on the Spirit quarter mile during the season finale.  Briggs Danner, Louden Reimert, Jared Silfee and Ryan Godown battled throughout the top five with Reimert finishing second to Miller at the checkered flag.  Silfee finished third followed by Danner and Godown.   Steve Buckwalter, Jeff Hartman, Tom Mayberry, Tim Iulg and Jay Hartman finished in sixth through tenth in the held over event.

 

Steve Buckwalter dominated the second twenty lapper to earn his first ever win at Bridgeport.  Godown, Jeff Hartman, Steve Drevicki and Reimert raced hard for a top five finish with Godown crossing the line behind Buckwalter,  Drevicki, subbing for Tim Buckwalter in the Earl Fellin No. 52, finished third followed by Jeff Hartman and Reimert.  Tim Iulg, Jay Hartman, TJ Mayberry, Jason Muesser and Danner rounded out the top ten.

YANKOWSKI, DAVIS & COLAGIOVANNI ARE BIG WINNERS AT BRIDGEPORT

 

Bridgeport, NJ – Day two of the John Blewett Inc Wildcard Weekend at the Bridgeport Motorsports Park produced many unforgettable moments for both the competitors and the fans.  It was a day full of excitement, great racing and big victories with nearly three hundred  laps raced throughout the day honoring the memory of Danny Serrano.  Danny was on everyone’s mind as Doug Rose and his crew produced a day of racing that will have fans talking about their Bridgeport experience for a long time.

 

Alex Yankowski raced to the biggest win and the biggest payday of his young career when he took the checkered flag in the Danny Serrano 100.  There are many ways to celebrate victory on the track but Yankowski came up with one (accidentally) that will not soon be forgotten;

 

After crossing the finish line for the win, the field continued to circle the track so that all cars could complete their last lap and take the checkered flag.  Yankowski was behind a group of lapped cars who were still racing for position.  One of those cars spun in front of the race winner, forcing Yankowski to take evasive action but he caught the outside wall in the process, flipping at the start/finish line.  The race winner emerged uninjured but the No. 84Y had to be towed to the scale and Victory Lane.  It was certainly an experience not soon to be forgotten as the grandstands cheered for Yankowski’s first Bridgeport victory!

 

Yankowski, a regular Saturday night competitor at the new Bridgeport Motorsports Park, took to the 4/10 mile track immediately, competing for the win on his first night of competition.  He’s been close so many times but finally sealed the deal in the $10,000 to win Danny Serrano 100.

 

“If I ever have grandchildren,” Yankowski related, “this will be something to tell them about.”  “The car just kept getting better and better,” Yankowski stated and no truer words have ever been spoken.  Yankowski lined up in the twelfth row of the line-up, going to the green flag in the twenty-third position.  Yankowski never reached the top ten until after the halfway mark.  While the leaders raced through heavy lapped traffic, Yankowski broke into the top five with about thirty laps to go.  

 

Ryan Krachun took the lead on the start but it was Jimmy Horton who led the field to complete lap one after Krachun made hard contact with the wall in turns three and four.  Jojo Watson raced Horton to become the race leader on lap nine.  

 

Watson led the way through lap forty with Danny Bouc taking over on lap forty-one.  Ryan Godown raced from twenty-fifth to challenge Bouc for the lead as they raced down the backstretch on lap fifty-nine.  

 

With Godown out in front, Yankowski began to pick his way through the top five after a three wide battle with Mahaney and Billy Pauch.   Bouc challenged Godown for the lead on a lap seventy-four restart but it was Yankowski who raced into second and then challenged for the lead.  A move to the inside on lap seventy-eight saw Yankowski take the lead in turn three.

 

Yankowski pulled away from the field leaving Godown, Watt and Bouc battling for second while Jeff Strunk battled with Billy Pauch and then Danny Bouc for a top five spot.  

 

Watt moved into second and began to close in on the leader but his progress was detoured when a lapprd car crossed the track in front of him.  Yankowski drove to the $10,000 win over Watt, Godown, Bouc and Strunk.  Frank Cozze, who had been battling in the final laps with Bouc and  Strunk, finished sixth followed by Mahaney, Matt Stangle, Rick Laubach and Pauch.  

 

Yankowski’s win came with small block power under the hood of the No. 84Y.  

 

There was racing all through the field throughout the one hundred laps.  Fans didn’t know where to look as the wheel to wheel action went from green to checkered.  After one hundred laps, twenty-seven cars were still running – the attrition rate was incredibly low.  It was a race for the ages.

 

The track crew took a few minutes to prepare for the next feature and delivered a multi-groove surface for the Capitol Renegade URC Sprint cars, sponsored by Absolute Dog Training of Medford, NJ.  

 

Polesitter Alex Bright took the lead at the start of the second race for the High Banks Classic.  Bright led the way with Pauly Colagiovanni running in second.  

 

Bright led through lap eight and then came to a stop in turn two on the next circuit.  Bright’s night ended with mechanical failure as Colagiovanni took the lead as the field lined up for the restart.  

 

Empire State Sprint competitor, Colagiovanni used every inch of the wide Bridgeport surface, choosing the highest line possible as he ran through the turns.  Colagiovanni, who is accustomed to racing on the flat bullrings of New York, took full advantage of the wide racing surface as he led the way in the twenty-five lap event.  

 

Ryan Smith raced the Eastern Rigging No. 10x into second around the midpoint of the race and set his sights on the leader.  Smith closed in on Colagiovanni and the drivers of the two number ten cars raced hard in the final laps.  Smith was able to challenge for the lead but Colagiovanni held the advantage.  The two cars came out of turn four and headed for the checkered flag with Smith mounting the final challenge.

 

Colagiovanni improved his past Bridgeport performance by one to take the win over Smith and Briggs Danner, racing the Gallagher No. 5G in only his second race in a winged sprint car.  Chuck Hebing finished fourth followed by Derek Locke.    Jason Shultz finished sixth followed by Tyler Ross, Josh Weller, Adam Carberry and Troy Betts.

 

Ryan Smith posted the best two night performance to take possession of the Midge Miller Memorial Trophy after finishing  fifth and second.  Adam Carberry finished one spot behind Josh Weller but his thirteen point advantage at the start of the night carried him to his first ever URC Championship.

 

With $3,000 on the line for the winner, there was plenty of bumping and banging with side by side action in the thirty lap Precision Hydraulic & Oil Invitational race for the South Jersey Overhead Door 602 Sportsman feature event.  

 

Polesitter, Steve Davis and Steve Kemery raced for the lead at the start.  Davis won the battle and led for the first fourteen laps.  Kemery put the No. 69K out in front at half way and led all the way to the first caution after twenty-eight green flag laps.  

 

That put Kemery and Davis back together for the final two lap shootout.

 

The two cars raced as one around the track with Kemery holding the advantage on lap twenty-nine.  Coming out of turn four for the checkered, the two leaders were door to door in the drag race for the checkered.  Payton Talbot, the young invader from New York, was in a great position to steal the win as he raced on the bottom of the track while Kemery and Davis banged their way to the finish line.  Davis held the advantage for the win with Kemery taking second and Talbot a close third.  Dan Fleming finished fourth with Ryan Simmons in fifth. 

 

Mike Mahaney and Richie Pratt, Jr. were the fast timers in the timed Modified hot laps with both drivers earning a starting spot in Sunday’s fifty lap season finale for the Foley Cat Modifieds. 

 

Scott Riggleman won the make-up event for the 4/8 Cylinder Enduro cars over Chris Allen and Justin Dunn.

 

Justin Dunn returned to pick up the win in the second race over his father, Scott Dunn and Scott Riggleman.
