Tom Hager, Doug Hoffman, Sean Carman, and Scott McClaren brought home trophies at Local Union 172 night at Bridgeport Speedway this Saturday night at The Fastest Dirt Track in the East.

Tom Hager of West Easton, PA, took full advantage of a new sponsor and a new
race car this past Saturday Night at Bridgeport Speedway. In the first of
twin 20's, Hager was the class of the field, outgunning a late race charge
from "Jammin" Jamie Mills. Tom Hager started on the pole and held onto the
lead for the majority of the event. Jimmy Chester moved from 9th to 2nd
in four laps, setting the pace for his challenge on lap 10 with a move to
the outside of turn 4. He outraced Hager for only three laps as Hager
proved to have the best car, taking the lead back by lap 14 when Chester had
mechanical problems and was forced to pit. For the remaining 5 laps, Hager
kept the checkered flag in sight and crossed the finish line just inches in
front of Jamie Mills. Mills hoped for more laps but came up short as Tom
Hager scored his first win at Bridgeport Speedway since August 9,1997.

Doug Hoffman of Allentown PA, survived several cautions to claim the victory
in the second Twin-20 Modified Feature. He started eleventh, but quickly
moved up front along with Wade Hendrickson who led for the first 10 laps.
Hoffman used the outside for several laps, doing whatever he could to get
past Hendrickson. On the second restart on lap 10, Hoffman and Hendrickson
tangled after Hoffman bolted out ahead of Hendrickson to take the lead. Both
drivers recovered from the battle, as Hendrickson made a beautiful save in
going into turn 4. Lap 16 showcased a three car brawl for third between
Wade Hendrickson, Steve Durand, and Duane Howard ensued as the white flag
came out. Mike Iles came in second after battling Doug Hoffman earlier in
the race. Hoffman collected his 8th win of the 2004 Big Block Modified
Season, tightening the point standings within the Big Block Modified Series.

Sean Carman became a first time winner in the Sunoco Sportsman division,
just a few days after recording his first non-points win at Bridgeport in a
special "Non-Winner's Event" this past Thursday, September 2nd.. Carman in
his second season in the Sportsman division, called his win "A dream come
true" as he proved he has the ability to get around "The Fastest Dirt Track
in the East". Carman, hailing from Stockton NJ started 6th and took only one
lap to get to the second spot, making the most of an early-race restart.
John Britt of Milford DE, led until Carman used yet another restart to blow
by Britt, taking over the race from there on out. Lap 9 brought bad luck to
some of Bridgeport's top guns as Richie Pratt Jr, Kevin Collins, and Mark
Forte Jr were involved in front stretch pile up. Sean Carman dominated the
rest of the event followed by John Britt in second, Drew Ricco in third.

Bridgeport Speedway saw another first time winner in the Jasper Sprint
division on Saturday, September 4, 2004. Scott McClaren drove into Victory
Lane for the first time in his Sprint career at Bridgeport Speedway, holding
off Bob Rasmussen in the early laps and surviving late challenges from Jim
and John Wyers. Total domination described

McClaren's race-winning effort as he led all but 3 laps of the 20 lap event.
The battle for second heated up as the closing laps approached. Jim and
John Wyers were neck and neck for the last 5 circuits with Jim Wyers taking
second as John Wyers settled for third.

McClaren became the 10th different winner in the Jasper Sprint Division
making the points race tighter than ever.
