New Egypt, N.J……….Levi Jones of Olney, Ill. remained undefeated in USAC’s “Eastern Storm” AMSOIL National Sprint Car tour by winning Thursday night’s 40-lap feature at New Egypt Speedway, the first USAC Sprint race in the Garden State in 32 years! Jones, who is now the new National point leader as well, trailed Chase Stockon for the first 22 laps, then put his Tony Stewart Racing Bass Pro Shops/Armor All Maxim/Kistler Chevy into the lead on lap 23 and never looked back. He led the final 18 laps to beat Chris Windom, Bryan Clauson, Dave Darland and Stockon. Jones was again the fastest qualifier for the third straight night! He will try to “sweep” the “Eastern Storm” when the mini-series concludes Friday night at Big Diamond Raceway in Minersville, Pa.
