A Cautious Approach
Following a dramatic wreck just a week prior, where Pauch’s No. 1 was towed back to the pits, the veteran driver approached this race with a more cautious mindset. He reflected, “I knew I had to get to the front to beat Ryan Watt, but after last week, I just kind of followed the car in front of me at the start.” Despite this conservative beginning, he quickly took the lead, crossing the start/finish line ahead of Dave Shirk on lap four. Notably, Brett Ballard, making his first appearance of the season in his No. 5B, led the first two laps before Shirk took over on lap three.
The Race Begins
Pauch began the race from outside the sixth row, just ahead of Watt. While Watt attempted to gain ground on the outside, he struggled with a car that felt “too tight for the track,” causing him to lose several positions.
Establishing a Lead
After ten consecutive green flag laps, Pauch established a commanding lead until Butch Tittle brought out a caution just before the halfway mark. This reset the field, tightening the competition among Jim Britt, Wade Hendrickson, Watt, and Tommy Beamer, all trailing Pauch. However, on the restart, Pauch quickly pulled away, showcasing his racing prowess. Watt engaged in a fierce battle with Hendrickson and Britt, eventually claiming second place by lap fourteen.
Closing the Gap
As the race progressed, Watt searched for the fastest line around the 5/8-mile track, gradually closing the gap on Pauch. Another caution for Sam Martz at lap seventeen set the stage for an intense restart, with Pauch and Watt side by side. Nevertheless, Pauch regained control as the green flag waved, successfully fending off Watt’s determined attempts in the final laps.
Victory Celebrated
Ultimately, Pauch crossed the finish line first, followed by Watt, Hendrickson, Britt, and Beamer. Congratulations to Billy Pauch on this impressive victory! This triumph highlights Pauch’s skill and experience, solidifying his legacy in the racing community. (Pauch Triumphs at Bridgeport)
