NEW EGYPT, NJ - Morganville, NJ’s Dominick Buffalino scored one of the richest wins in his Dirt Modified career on Saturday night at the New Egypt Speedway in the inaugural Ron John Koczon Classic. The 77-lap Modified event held in memory of the former NES Modified campaigner who lost his battle with cancer in April was worth $7,700 to Buffalino.

New Egypt, NJ - The inaugural Ron John Koczon Classic will now pay $7,700 to win and $370 to start this Saturday night August 22nd at New Egypt Speedway for a now 77 laps worth of work thanks to John Blewett Inc. of Howell, County Line Auto Body in Howell, DeWolf’s U Pick Farm in New Egypt and Collision Correctors in Bayville as they have added to the lions share of the purse.

The event that is taking place of the Back To School Monster Truck Summer Smash is expected to attract the top Modified talent from across the region to New Egypt Speedway this Saturday.

New Egypt, NJ - Brandon Grosso of Belle Mead, NJ became the sixth different Vahlco Wheels Modified feature winner in as many races on Ladies night at New Egypt Speedway. Grosso had a comfortable lead when his engine began to lose power in the final laps, allowing runner-up Steve Davis one final shot at him on the final turn, but his motor had one last gasp in it which was just enough to drive back under Davis and beat him to the line by half a car length. The engine then expired heading into turn one requiring a push truck to take him to victory lane.

“The car was great all night until three laps to go, when I felt it start to lose power,” a relieved Grosso related in victory lane, “Fortunately it had just enough to get me back by him (Davis).”  

New Egypt, NJ - Like the Kool & The Gang song goes, It’s Ladies Night this Saturday night August 15th at New Egypt Speedway.

In competition will be the Vahlco Wheels Modifieds, who are looking for their sixth different winner in as many races this Saturday night. Can someone like Danny Bouc, Billy Pauch Jr., Wade Hendrickson, Dominick Buffalino or Frank Cozze repeat? Or will a new winner such as Mike Butler, Ryan Krachun, Davey Sammons, Brandon Grosso or David VanHorn grace New Egypt Speedway Victory Lane for the first time in 2020?
