Georgetown Speedway
Pauch Jr. & Holsten Look to Ride Momentum into Friday Night at Georgetown Speedway
GEORGETOWN, DE – Historic Georgetown Speedway is set
to fire off for the first time in six weeks this Friday night, July 24.
Blue Hen
Dispose-All presents a doubleheader of the L&J Sheet Metal Modifieds and
Rapid Tire USAC East Coast Sprint Cars (wingless) on the progressively banked
half-mile oval.
With $3,000
on the line for the big-block/small-block Modifieds, Billy Pauch Jr. and the Rick
Holsten No. 96 team look to continue their hot streak on the Pennsylvania-New
Jersey-Delaware Modified circuit. Pauch Jr. and Holsten head to the First State
Friday on the heels of a big Short Track Super Series (STSS) victory Sunday at
BAPS Motor Speedway in Newberrytown, Pa., where the New Jersey driver held off
titans Stewart Friesen and Matt Sheppard for the triumph.
Pauch Jr.
knows how to get it done at Georgetown. He put the Holsten No. 96 in Victory
Lane last August with national MAV-TV cameras on site.

back-to-back STSS Modified victories, also picking up the Sunoco checkered flag
at Pa.s Big Diamond Speedway in June. He is chasing the Sunoco Championship
Series point standings at Georgetown and enters Fridays event just four points
behind leader Danny Bouc.

program will mark the second event at Georgetown since the complete resurfacing
of the half-mile track in the spring.
