Billy Pauch Fan Appreciation Night At Bridgeport September 2nd

Story By: KOLBY RAMEY / BRIDGEPORT SPEEDWAY – SWEDESBORO, NJ – It is the final night of points for the 2017 season and the Bridgeport Champions will be determined on this night in the Spirit Auto Center Big Block Modifieds, Stewart Stainless Crate/Sportsman and PennCo Tech Outlaw Stocks.

It is the final Bike Night of the 2017 season.

K&A Excavating and Billy Pauch will host Fan Appreciation Night for all Billy Pauch fans out there.

Over the years, Pauch has hosted an open house at his race shop and invited the public in for the day – giving his fans the opportunity to view his set-up, his race cars, his accomplishments as well as giving people a chance to talk to the driver himself. This year, electing not to campaign on a weekly basis, Pauch still wanted to reach out to his fans and show his appreciation.

“We wanted to do something for our fans where they can come and hang out,” Pauch explained. Pauch and longtime sponsor, K&A Excavating, approached Bridgeport Speedway to accommodate this special event.

Fans can come out early to see the Pauch No.15 on display. The grandstand gates will open an hour early(4:30pm) to allow fans plenty of time to enjoy this day. They will have the opportunity to talk to Pauch, pose for pictures, collect some autographs and purchase some brand new official Billy Pauch apparel.

Any fan that wears a Billy Pauch shirt to the track will receive a $5 discount off Bridgeport’s general admission, compliments of Billy Pauch and K&A Excavating. If you don’t have a shirt, you can still buy one at the main gate and receive the discount on your admission.

Pauch will compete when racing action gets underway at 7pm. The three track champions will be determined on this final night of the 2017 Points. All three divisions are being tightly contested. Ryan Watt, Rick Laubach and Dominick Buffalino will battle it out to the checkered flag to determine the 2017 Bridgeport Speedway Big Block Champion. Brian Papiez, Matt Stanlge, Eric Kormann and Roger Manning will each play a role in determining the 2017 Crate/Sportsman title while Tom Wills, Jr., Brian Ludwig, Jeff Dirkes, Jeramy Doerr and John Parker will have something to say about the outcome of the 2017 Outlaw Stock season.

Motorcyclists will be admitted free. he motorcycles will be on display behind the main grandstand. Awards will be given in several categories to bike owners.

Several brand new bicycles will be presented to some lucky boys and girls.

ALL COUNTY GARAGE DOOR SPONSORS 1/4 MIDGET NIGHT AT BRIDGEPORT

All County Garage Door LLC of Carney’s Point, NJ will sponsor this year’s Quarter Midget Night at the Bridgeport Speedway. Quarter Midget Night has become a very popular event at the track in recent seasons. Children – both boys and girls – can start to race quarter midgets at the age of five. Quarter midget organizations exist throughout the country. Several of these organizations will be represented during Bridgeport’s event including Montgomery County, ATCO and Blackbird. These young race car drivers will proudly display their cars behind the main grandstand before the night of racing gets underway. Later in the evening, they will have the chance to take a few laps around the quarter mile track to showcase their abilities. This is a big night for the quarter midget competitors who have the opportunity to come to a big race track and watch some of their favorite drivers in action.

The families of Big Block Modified drivers, Ryan Watt and Sam Martz, as well as Crate/Sportsman driver, Eric Kormann, have all been involved in area quarter midget racing with their families. Logan Watt competes weekly at Montgomery County Quarter Midget Racing Club while Angelica and Sammy Martz, Jr. are past competitors at ATCO. Hannah Kormann just started racing at Wall this season.

Racing gets underway at 7pm but come out early and spend some time with the quarter midget drivers, enjoy the musical entertainment and some of the tasty offerings from the Bridgeport Speedway concessions.
