It only seems right that a race program called the "Jersey Rush" should be won by New Jersey drivers. That is exactly what happened on Tuesday night at New Egypt Speedway. The 410 Sprint, and Big-Block Modified events were both captured by Garden State residents.
JJ Grasso, making his debut in the 410 Sprints, looked like a veteran of the division, as he conquered a star-studded field of competitors. Grasso, the current points leader in the URC division, has long considered New Egypt to be his favorite track, with numerous wins in past races at the facility. However, the "Jersey Rush" win, and the $5,000 purse that comes with it, will certainly make this his biggest win at his home state track.
As for the Big-Blocks, it was business as usual for Frenchtown's Billy Pauch. The legendary driver took home another big payday of $3,000 at the track he has been nothing short of dominant at this year. In fact, the biggest surprise of the evening may have just been that he didn't win both feature events. He has been that good this year!
The "Jersey Rush" will continue for Grasso and Pauch tomorrow, as they both "rush" to their respective banks to make some rather large deposits. The Jersey Boys got it done!
