NEW EGYPT MARKS LONE ADVANCE AUTO SDS RACE IN GARDEN STATE

WEEDSPORT,NY.....Recognized as one of the most competitive circuits on the East coast today, the Advance Auto Parts Modified Super DIRT Series is ready to make it's only stop of the season in New Jersey.
New Egypt Speedway hosts the fifth event along the premier big-block DIRT Modified tour when Haldeman Ford presents the 'Garden State Gunfight' on June 20. Both pit and spectator gates open at 4 p.m., practice starts at 6:30, JE Piston Time Trials begin at 7 o'clock and qualifying heats go off the line at 7:45.
The Thursday night showdown marks the fourth appearance of the mighty DIRT Modifieds at promoters Rick and Nancy Grosso's popular semi-banked clay oval. Billy Decker captured the 100-lap Advance Auto Parts Super DIRT Series main event last summer, homestate favorite Billy Pauch won in 2000 and DIRT Motorsports' all-time big-block win leader Bob McCreadie copped the inaugural race in 1998.
Decker forged the final lead change on lap 31 in last year's century grind, battling early pace-setters Pauch and second-generation standout Tim McCreadie before claiming the $6,000 top prize. Delaware invader Ricky Elliott bested an all-star field of 59 open-wheel entries in time trials, stopping the clocks at 18.240 seconds for an average one-lap speed of 98.684 mph around the enlarged half-miler.
Twenty-seven (29 races) events make up the 2002 Advance Auto Parts SDS agenda with 19 extra-distance features taking place inside New York State. The Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec join Pennsylvania (2), Maryland, North Carolina, Ohio and New Jersey are locales for the remaining eight shows.
With the annual Advance Auto event originally scheduled for June 6 at Orange County Fair Speedway and postponed due to rain until August 1, two-time Mr. DIRT champion Alan Johnson tops the current SDS points chart. The Phelps, N.Y. legend is followed by a new, younger breed of pilots led by Tim Fuller, Tim McCreadie(2 wins), Vic Coffey and Gary Tomkins(2), with veterans Danny Johnson, Steve Paine, Decker and Brett Hearn(1) chasing farther behind.
The Northeast's top travelers will have to take on New Egypt's best, including points leader Pauch, Keith Hoffman, Darren McCaughey, Kenny Brightbill and Frank Cozze.
