Pauch Family Looks to Keep "Jersey Rush" Money in New Jersey

  When the gates open this afternoon at New Egypt Speedway to allow competitors from all over the Northeast into the pits for tonight's "Jersey Rush" event, one NJ family will be doing their best to make sure all the winnings stay in the Garden State. The father and son tandem of Billy Pauch, and Billy Pauch Jr., from Frenchtown, will certainly be among the drivers to watch, at the very least.
  The "Jersey Rush" consists of two feature events, one for the visiting 410 Sprints, and the other for the Big-Block Modifieds that run at the track on most Saturday nights. While Billy Pauch Jr. is only entered in the Big-Block division, his father will compete in both. The 410 Sprint feature will pay $5,000 to win, while the Modifieds will compete for $3,000, making this, potentially, a very good payday for the Pauch family.
  While Billy Pauch Jr. hasn't had the type of success his father has at New Egypt, but who has, he has been running better lately, wherever he competes. He will certainly have the help of the one person who gets around the track better than anyone else, his father.
  Billy Pauch Sr., however, may not have much time to advise his son, as he will compete in both divisions on Tuesday. He will certainly be the man to beat in the Big-Blocks, a division he has dominated in 2011 at New Egypt. His biggest challenge of the night will certainly come in the 410 Sprint race. The question will be can his experience at the track overcome his not being a regular in a sprint car of any sort in years.
  The car he will be piloting is one he has had great success in the past. The J&M Motorsports team is the same one with which he won the first ever 410 Sprint race held at New Egypt in 1999. They have also won the Grandview King of the Hill in 2001, and the Hagerstown Octoberfest, also in 1999, when working together.
  Pauch Sr. will also face a stout field in the 410 Sprint event that includes Shane Stewart, Fred Rahmer, Daryn Pitman, Lance DeWease, Frank Cozze, JJ Grasso, Davey Sammons, Steve Buckwalter, and many more.
  The Pauch family will certainly represent their home state of New Jersey well tonight at New Egypt. They are bringing great equipment, great experience, and a plan to keep most of the "Jersey Rush" money home in Jersey.
