LAUBACH TRIUMPHS AT BRIDGEPORT SPEEDWAY Bridgeport, NJ (July 14, 2013) – On Swedesboro and Women on Wheels Night presented by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Rick Laubach won the Big Block Modified feature at Bridgeport Speedway. Bob Lilick topped the field in the Crate/Sportsman division. Ron Frees was the victor in the Outlaw Stock Car main event. After the original start of the 30-lap Big Block Modified feature was curtailed due to a caution, Jack Swain hopped out to the front and was followed by Tommy Beamer and Rick Laubach.

As action got back underway, Laubach rocketed to the lead with Swain, Richie Pratt, Jr., Beamer, and Sam Martz in tow. On the third tour, another caution period occurred as Eric Kormann’s ride began to slow on the track. Laubach repelled Swain on the ensuing restart to maintain his lead with Pratt, Jr., Ryan Watt, and Beamer next in line. By lap 5, Mike Iles, the thirteenth place starter, had moved into fifth place. With ten circuits completed, Laubach had a half-straightaway advantage over Swain with Pratt, Jr. closing in on the second place runner. On lap 17, Pratt, Jr. passed Swain to gain the runner-up position. With ten tours to go, Laubach was continuing to set the pace through lap traffic with Pratt, Jr., Swain, Iles and Watt in pursuit. Jimmy Horton, who was involved in the original start mishap, drove into fourth place on lap 25. On the next circuit, the last caution period of the race took place when Mike Barone’s car stopped on the backstretch and wiped out Laubach’s comfortable advantage over the pack. As racing resumed, Laubach maintained his lead with Pratt, Jr. in second and Iles third. Over the final tours, Laubach was not challenged and he collected his second victory of the year. Iles nipped Pratt, Jr. at the finish line to complete the race in second. Horton wound up in fourth and Swain finished in fifth.
