Story By: BRIDGEPORT MOTORSPORTS PARK – SWEDESBORO, NJ – Sammy Martz Jr. pocketed the $4,000 top prize Saturday night by winning the Dirty Jersey Finale Modified feature at the Kingdom of Speed, the Bridgeport Motorsports Park.
Martz, Jr. raced to his second win of the season in the 30 lap feature event. The final race of the season paid $4,000 to the winner leading Martz to comment that he seems to be able to win the special shows but not regular Saturday night races. Martz’s first Modified win came in the Doug Olsen Memorial race in mid-June.
Martz led every lap from the green to the checkered to capture his latest victory but he had plenty of company during the middle portion of the race when both Neal Williams and Dillon Steuer had Martz on their radar.
Williams and Steuer battled back and forth for second but it was Williams who told Martz that he had him lined up.
Martz chose to run a middle line – thinking he would avoid any challenges from slide jobs that way. Williams had a plan but lapped traffic foiled his attempt.
It was Martz for the win over Steuer, Williams, Cale Ross and Sam Martz Sr. Frank Cozze finished sixth followed by Roger Manning, Jeff Strunk in the Rio R10, Mike Franz and WB James.
Phil Levering raced to his first win of the season in the Four Cylinder main event. Levering raced in Roger Kummerer’s No.74 to take the win over Joe Garey, Jr., Justin Benz, Joe Garey. Sr and Jim Backowski.
