Carpenter earns first victory by a nose – IRL Ted Durlacher Nazareth Racecam

SPARTA, Ky. -- Ed Carpenter had one push to pass left on the final lap of the Kentucky Indy 300. The extra horsepower boost was crucial in the Sarah Fisher Racing driver's 22-lap duel with Dario Franchitti, and most important as he exiting Turn 4 of the 1.5-mile oval side-by-side with the IZOD IndyCar Series championship front-runner.

He pushed the button and pushed the No. 67 Dollar General car to the start/finish line to edge Franchitti by 0.0098 of a second -- the sixth-closest race in IZOD IndyCar Series and the closest ever at Kentucky Speedway.

Scott Dixon finish third to wrap up the A.J. Foyt Oval Trophy and rooklie James Hinchcliffe was fourth. Ryan Hunter-Reay, the winner at the last oval race (New Hampshire Motor Speedway in mid-August) finished fifth.

Will Power, who entered the penultimate race of the season with an 11-point lead over Franchitti, started from the pole. But contact with the No. 24 Dreyer & Reinbold Racing car driven by Ana Beatriz on pit lane on Lap 49 put a gash in the left sidepod of the No. 12 Verizon Team Penske car.

Power had to pit twice more and fell back to 23rd -- the last car on the lead lap. He soldiered on and finished 19th, but is 18 points behind Franchitti entering the IZOD INDYCAR World Championships Presented by Honda.

EAST STROUDSBURG – Redshirt senior quarterback Ray Wagner threw for a career-high 397 yards and two touchdowns, but No. 5 Bloomsburg controlled the ball for two fourth quarter touchdowns to pull out a 32-20 win over the Warriors in a PSAC East match-up on Saturday afternoon at Eiler-Martin Stadium.

Wagner was 27-for-52 with two touchdowns and two interceptions and two 100-yard receivers in redshirt junior Jordan Hallman (four catches, 128 yards, TD) and freshman Ray Dominguez (seven catches, 111 yards). Sophomore Dusty Reed, ninth in Division II with 108.3 yards entering the game, had eight catches for 96 yards and a score.

Eddie Mateo (24 carries, 157 yards), a transfer from Stony Brook, and Franklyn Quiteh (26 carries, 124 yards), a finalist for the Harlon Hill Award as a freshman, combined for 281 of Bloomsburg's 288 rushing yards. Quiteh scored on runs of one and four yards in the fourth quarter, when the sophomores helped the Huskies run for 101 yards on 20 carries and hold the ball for 11:58.

ESU (1-4, 0-2) jumped out to a 10-0 lead on its first two possessions as Wagner was 5-of-5 for 77 yards on the opening drive, capped by a 34-yard TD pass to Hallman, and hit Hallman with a 54-yard pass play for the big gain on a 15-play, 90-yard drive that culminated with a 21-yard field goal by sophomore kicker Taylor Groff midway through the opening period.

Bloomsburg (5-0, 2-0) took advantage of the first of ESU's three turnovers to get on the board late in the first quarter when the Warriors muffed a punt and the Huskies recovered at the 31. Senior quarterback Pat Carey, who was 15-for-20 for 198 yards, hit fullback Ryan Maggs with a one-yard TD pass for the score after Quiteh carried four times for 28 yards to get it to the goal line.

The Warriors were the recipient of Bloomsburg's only turnover less than three minutes later with the same situation – a muffed punt – but a different outcome, as Groff missed a 21-yard field goal when the timing was just off from the kicking unit.

The ESU defense, which held Bloomsburg to 222 yards (113 rushing) in the first half, forced its third punt of the first half after the missed field goal and the offense cashed in six plays and 96 yards later. Wagner was 5-for-5 for 98 yards on the drive, which included a three-yard run and a five-yard penalty for a false start. He hit three different receivers, going to Hallman for 18 yards and Dominguez for 13 and 35 yards before hitting Reed for 13 and then 19 for the touchdown.

Bloomsburg narrowed the margin to 17-13 at halftime with a pair of short field goals from Dan Fisher on its final two possessions of the second quarter. Mateo and Quiteh carried the Huskies 54 yards on nine plays to set up a 26-yarder at the 3:55 mark, and after ESU went three-and-out, Carey went to the air with five straight completions to set up a 22-yard field goal with 15 seconds left after the Warriors held inside the 10-yard line.

The defense came up with another stop on Bloomsburg's first drive of the second half, as the Huskies were set up with first-and-goal from the two but had to settle for the third of four field goals from Fisher after redshirt senior outside linebacker Bryan Billger dropped Quiteh for a loss on second down and Carey's third down pass fell incomplete.

The Warriors got the three-pointer back – once again after a drive stalled inside the five – when Groff connected from 22 after Wagner hit Hallman for 22 yards, Reed for 15 and Williams for 13 on a 10-play, 60-yard march to make the score 20-16.

After an exchange of punts, Bloomsburg narrowed it to 20-19 on a 33-yard field goal by Fisher at the 2:19 mark of the third quarter. D.J. Robinson set the Huskies up at the ESU 47 with a 21-yard punt return and Quiteh carried for 17 yards on the first play from scrimmage, but the Warriors' defense did its job to hold the Huskies to three.

The Warriors picked up 38 yards on a pass from Wagner to Dominguez, which put the freshman over the 100-yard mark for the first time in his career, on their ensuing possession but three passes fell incomplete and ESU was forced to punt with less than a minute left in the third quarter.

Freshman Jordan Bair's 35-yard punt was downed at the four-yard line, but the gain in field position was erased when Mateo had a 30-yard run – the Huskies' longest of the game – on the first play from scrimmage. The big gain was the start of a 14-play, 96-yard drive that ran 6:09 off the clock and included a four-yard gain by Mateo on fourth-and-one from the 19. Quiteh got the ball on the next five plays and finally cashed in on third-and-goal from the one with 9:36 remaining. Bloomsburg took its first lead of the game, 25-20, and the Warriors stopped Mateo on the two-point conversion try.

Wagner drove ESU into Bloomsburg territory after getting the ball back with just over nine minutes left, but his 50th pass of the game was intercepted by Dan Haverstock as he looked for a big play down the middle of the field. Haverstock returned to the Bloomsburg 46, and the Huskies went the final 54 yards on six plays capped by Quiteh's four-yard run with 4:33 remaining.

Any chance for a Warriors comeback was thwarted by Haverstock's second interception after a holding penalty erased a 15-yard pass to Williams on the start of the next possession. A 15-yard pass from Carey to Ryan Dickerson (eight catches, 104 yards) picked up a key first down on third-and-eight to seal the victory.

Bloomsburg finished with a time of possession advantage of 37:02 to 22:58 after the two teams were almost even in the first half. The Huskies had 34 carries for 175 yards in the second half and were 7-for-8 in the red zone for the game, with three TD's, four field goals and a kneel down at the end of the fourth quarter.

Wagner was 18-for-29 for 289 yards in the first half – 10-for-19 for 167 yards in the first quarter – and had career-highs with 27 completions, 52 attempts and 397 yards. He entered the week ranked sixth in Division II in passing and total offense and has 1,642 yards (328.4 per game) through the first five games, the third-most in school history.

ESU continues its march through a rugged schedule with a 1 p.m. kickoff at Kutztown next Saturday. The Golden Bears, ranked No. 12 in the AFCA poll, fell 49-7 at Shippensburg on Saturday to end a 4-0 start. The Warriors' last four opponents plus Kutztown – IUP, California, West Chester, Bloomsburg and Kutztown – entered the week with a 14-5 record this season.

Graham Rahal will join Power on the front row after a two-lap average of 218.348 mph in the No. 38 Service Central Chip Ganassi Racing car. In the past three races, Rahal has started second, third and second. It's his best earned oval start by far of the season (previous best 12th at Milwaukee).

Rookie James Hinchcliffe (218.186) in the No. 06 Sprott Newman/Haas Racing car and Carpenter (218.004), driving the No. 67 Dollar General car for Sarah Fisher Racing, will share Row 2. Carpenter, the 2010 pole sitter, has been the race runner-up the past two years.

In Firestone Indy Lights qualifications, Andretti Autosport driver Stefan Wilson earned his first Sunoco Pole Award and set a two-lap qualifying record of 191.659 mph (55.5988 seconds) for the Kentucky 100 on Oct. 2.

Brandon Wagner, driving the No. 22 TMR-Xtreme Coil Drilling car for Team Moore Racing, posted a season-best starting position of second (190.641 mph). It was his best qualifying effort since winning the pole at Chicagoland Speedway in 2009.
