NEW EGYPT - Frank Cozze of Wind Gap, Pa., had all the answers on Saturday night as he stormed to the front and cruised to victory in the Medal of Honor 40-lap DIRTcar Modified feature event at New Egypt Speedway sponsored by Joy Auto Parts.

"We had a really good night tonight," stated Cozze in victory lane.

"I want to thank my crew, as they worked very hard to give me a great car."

At the start of the event, John Keller and Tim Tanner Jr. hooked up in a crowd-pleasing, side-by-side battle for the first six laps before Tanner took control of the field. However, the competition was fierce, as several drivers were hot on his heels, including Bucky Kell and Sam Martz. Cozze appeared in the top five for the first time on lap 9 and began to show everyone that he was a force to be reckoned with as charged toward the front. Cozze methodically worked his way through the top five, grabbing the lead for good two laps before halfway. Bucky Kell made his way into second but was unable to gather enough speed to challenge Cozze. On the final lap, defending champ Jimmy Horton saw a sure top-five finish disappear as he broke just two turns from the line.

At the checkered it was all Cozze as he picked up his second win of the season, the 19th of his career. Kell finished a strong second while Ryan Godown came home third. Martz grabbed his second straight top five, finishing fourth, and point leader Matt Sheppard was fifth.

Starting deep in the field certainly didn't bother Rocco Infante. Infante, of Robbinsville, set his car up to run on the far outside and then used this to his advantage as he raced to the front from 18th starting position to claim his second win of 2007. Infante used all 20 laps, as he wrestled the lead from race-long leader Willie Osmun on the final turn. Osmun settled for second, followed by John Romano Jr. in third, Tim Apgar fourth and Ben Donaruma rounding out the top five.

Tony Bozowski of New Egypt claimed his first career feature win in the 20-lap Super Stock feature event. Bozowski was the class of the field on this night, as he quickly raced to the lead before the halfway mark and was never headed. Bob Vaccaro finished a strong second, followed by Matt Kall, George Quinlan and Billy Bauer.

In the eighth race of the Advantage Financial/Cradle Rock Developers Rookie Sportsman series, Danny Bouc of Plumsteadville, Pa., won for the seventh time in eight attempts. With this win, Bouc sets the all-time record for most Rookie feature wins. Matt Holzbaur drove to his best finish of the season, coming home second over Bobby Butler, Eddie Prentice Jr. and Dan Waisempacher.

The Super Late Models made their second appearance of the season and brought the crowd to their feet with a tremendous three-car battle for the win. Mark Pettyjohn of Milton, Del., passed both his brother, Kenny Pettyjohn, and first-night winner Ricky Elliott on the final lap to win his first of the season. Kenny Pettyjohn and Ricky Elliott, who both led the event at least twice during the final five laps, finished second and third, respectively. Rob Ormsbee came home fourth with Tom Lainhart fifth. The Super Late Models will be in competition at New Egypt every other Saturday night for the rest of the season.

Ken Carberry of Fairless Hills, Pa., had the Lucas Ford SS Sprints covered Saturday as he won for the second time driving the Wall Racing No. 664. Ian Borden finished second, followed by Steve Wilson, Robert Liedl and Dave Martin.

In the first-ever appearance of the 600cc Micro Sprints, second-generation driver Bob Devault drove to victory in the 15-lap feature. Devault started eighth and took the lead with 5 laps to go for his first win at NES. Rick Newcomb was second, with Rich McKay, Eddie Wagner and Rich Mellor completing the top five.

Saturday night, June 2, it will be Graduation Night as the Advantage Financial/Cradle Rock Developers Rookie Sportsman graduate into the Sportsman ranks.
