PENNINK AND BLEWETT ARE WALL TURKEY DERBY MODIFIED WINNERS

WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J. ~ Rowan Pennink of Huntingdon Station, Pa. and Jimmy Blewett of Howell split 100-lap main events for Modified stock cars during Turkey Derby stock car racing at Wall Stadium Saturday. The northeast season finale program was witnessed by one of the largest gatherings in recent memory.

            In the tour type Modified race, Matt Hirschman of Northampton, Pa. led the first 39 laps before Pennink took the lead with a pass in the outside lane. Pennick then paced the 26-car field through lap 83 when Blewett took the top spot. Pennick stayed on Blewett’s rear bumper for the following laps, but Blewett’s good fortunes were running out as his No. 66 started to spray oil. Soon Blewett was sent to the pit area because of the problem and Pennick regained the lead.

            Pennink’s final ten laps were not easy, however, as Pete Brittain of Oakhurst hounded him to the finish. Howell’s Jamie Tomaino, Jon McKennedy and Anthony Sesely of Matawan wrapped up the top five.

            “Jimmy (Blewett) was running real strong until the end when he had that oil problem. Then Pete (Brittain) ran me real hard but clean to the very end,” Pennick said. “This is great. The car was great and this is a race that I really wanted to win.”

            In the companion 100-lapper for the speedway’s weekly Red Bank Sleep Shoppe Modified division, Blewett was at the top of his game as he jumped to the early lead. Blewett paced the 24-car field until he pitted for new tires on lap 53. That handed the lead to Brittain who paced the pack until he stopped for new tires on lap 69. Sesely then took command, but Blewett was soon on his bumper before making the winning pass with just 24 laps remaining.

            At the checker flag it was Blewett, Sesely, Pennink, Chas Okerson of Freehold and Toms River’s Tim Arre.

            “After the disappointment in the first feature, this wins feels pretty good,” Blewett said. “We ran a Dodge motor here all season and won a lot of races with it. Now we have a Chevy in there and it runs just as strong.”

            In Saturday’s support division action, Kevin Eyres of Colts Neck crossed the finish line first in the Sportsman 30-lapper, but when officials decided that the late-race battle for the lead got a little too heated, Kevin Davison of Howell was awarded the win. Mike Smith of Spring Lake Heights was second and Eyres was placed third. Long Island’s Dan Turbush hitched a ride in his son’s car and drove away with the Street Stock 30-lap main event win over Gregg Miranda of Hazlet and Jon Meyer of Toms River.

            Paul Lotier, Jr. won the 25-lapper for the A.T.Q.M.R.A. Midgets for a second straight year over Tim Buchwalter and Robin Johnson. Alison Cumens’ fifth place finish was enough to make her the first female driving champion in the history of the open cockpit club.

            During Friday’s day one of Turkey Derby, New Hampshire’s Wayne Helliwell raced to victory in the 50-lap Late Model Stock car feature race over Mike Coll and Michael Bologna. North Carolina’s Daniel Hemric also made a long trip worthwhile as he won Friday’s 25-lapper for the Legend Cars over Zach Alspach and Roger Coss. Vern McLaughlin won a battle for the win with team mate Richard Petey in Friday’s 30-lapper for the Factory Stocks. Tim O’Shea was third.

            The next event on the Wall Stadium schedule is set for this Saturday, December 5, as the speedway host’s the annual “Automotive Swap- Meet.” Gates open at 7:30 a.m. and buyers are welcome free of charge, while vendors will pay a nominal fee. For more information call 732-681-3776.

Wall Stadium is located on Route 34 in Wall Township, N.J., just one mile north of Garden State Parkway exit 98 and Interstate 195 exit 35B.

BLEWETT AND SESELY POCKET BIG CASH IN WALL STADIUM’S “COMERFORD MEMORIAL” SUNDAY

WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J. ~ Jimmy Blewett of Howell and Anthony Sesely of Matawan each pocketed an unprecedented $6,600 for winning 66-lap tour type Modified feature races during the “Tommy Comerford Memorial” Sunday afternoon at Wall Stadium. Riches were also spread through each 24-car field as a total purse of $40,000 was offered.

            In the opening 66-lapper, Les Hinckley of Windsor Locks, Conn. and Tommy Farrell of Neptune wrestled for the lead early swapping the top spot on restarts while Blewett ducked into the pit area several times for adjustments on his No. 66 Comerford tribute car. Tim Arre of Toms River and Danny Bohn of Huntersville, N.C. also got into the lead battle later on as Blewett marched to the front.

            The turning point in the race came with just 12 laps to go when Hinckley and Bohn pushed high in turn two while battling for the lead and Blewett dove low to take the lead and eventual win. Matt Hirschman of Northampton, Pa. also raced through the hole to grab second, while Keith Rocco of Wallingford, Conn., Hinckley and Ray Evernham of Huntersville, N.C. wrapped up the top five.

            In the second tour Modified 66-lapper, Sesely and Justin Gumley of Colts Neck fought for the lead in the early going. Soon Earl Paules of Palmerton, Pa. took his turn at the front before Sesely took command for good. Hirschman had a great day as he raced to his second straight runner-up finish, while Rocco grabbed his second straight third place run. Gumley and Paules wrapped up the top five.

            In support division action Kevin Davison of Howell was the class of the field in Calabreeze Pools Sportsman division action as he swept a pair of 25-lappers. In the first race, rain postponed from September 26, Kevin Eyres of Colts Neck nailed down the 2009 driving title by finishing second, while Mike Smith of Wall, Andrew Krause of East Brunswick and Randy MacConnell of Toms River were third through fifth. In the second race, Smith chased Davison across the finish line, with Matt Przemielewski Toms River, Ken Green of Farmingdale and Tom Kearns of Howell wrapping up the top five.

            Jon Meyer of Toms River also had a great day sweeping a pair of 20-lappers for the Flanagan Retail Development Factory Stocks. In the first race, Howell’s Elliott Wohl actually crossed the finish line first, but when his car failed a post race inspection the win went to Meyer. Flemington’s Tom Fratesi was the runner-up, with Bryan Flanagan of Hazlet, Steve Lynch of Aberdeen and Tim Flanagan of Hazlet third through fifth. Former champ Rob Longo of Wall was the runner-up in the second race, while Roy Farfel of Wall, Union’s Joey Helberg and Joe Constandi of Flemington were third through fifth.

            Carl Thomas of Tinton Falls nailed down the 2009 Street Stock championship by winning the rain postponed 25-lap feature. Ralph Gargiulo of Allenwood was second, with Jackson’s Howie Conk third. Conk came back to win the nightcap over Thomas and Beachwood’s Bill Vanderveen.

            Zach Alspach of Willingboro made a trip back from New Mexico, where he attends college, worthwhile by winning the 25-lapper for the Legend Cars. Brian Spencer, Derek Hopkinson of Toms River, Kenny Van Wickle and Bobby Baltera completed the top five.

            The next event on the Wall Stadium schedule is set for this Sunday (Nov. 8) when a $5 Family Fun Day is on the agenda.

BLEWETT/HINCKLEY BATTLE MAY RESUME AT WALL STADIUM

IN THIS SATURDAY’S “COMERFORD MEMORIAL”

WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J. ~ One of the most talked about battles in recent memory at Wall Stadium, the race for victory in the 2006 Turkey Derby between local Jimmy Blewett and invader Les Hinckley, may resume this weekend as both have filed entries for Saturday’s (Oct. 24) “Tommy Comerford Memorial.” With main events slated to take the green flag at 3:45 p.m., a rain date of Sunday (Oct. 25) with the same time schedule is in effect in case of wet weather.

            Blewett, a big winner at the shore speedway this season, will be at the wheel of a brand new tour type Modified stock car that is painted and numbered as a tribute to Tommy Comerford. The car is owned by Comerford’s old car-owner, Don Ling, and prepared by Dick and Robert Barney of Lakewood.

            Hinckley, a favorite on the True Value Modified Series, has entered his familiar CMR Racing No. 06 for the rich and prestigious event. The popular racer has made it clear that he wants to take the lion’s share of the $40,000 purse back to Windsor Locks, Conn.

Top drivers like feature winners Kevin Eyres of Colts Neck, Charlie Kremer III of Toms River, Robert Sutphin of Brick, Andrew Krause of East Brunswick, Kevin  Davison of Howell and Wall’s Mike Smith, just to name a few, will all be favorites in this Able Ford Subaru Racing Series event.

            Saturday night’s events are being run in the memory of Nick Roslin, a young enthusiast who passed away due to natural causes several years ago. Nick was a part of a very important racing family that includes his father Bruce Roslin and current day Sportsman drivers Dan and Bruce Roslin. The Roslin family is also instrumental in the Calabreeze Pools company.

In addition to the Sportsman 50-lapper, the Red Bank Sleep Shoppe Modified racers will compete in a 40-lap feature, the Street Stocks and the INEX Legend Cars will all race in 25-lappers and the Flanagan Retail Development Factory Stocks will anchor the “Nick Roslin Memorial” program with a 20-lap feature race.

            The day will start at high noon when competitor gates open, while a two hour paid practice session will begin at 1:00 p.m. The day’s regularly scheduled practice will run from 3:30 p.m. until 5:30 p.m., while spectator seating opens at 4:00 p.m. Qualifying for all divisions, which will include time trails for the Sportsman cars, begins at 6:00 p.m. with main event racing starting at 7:30 p.m.

            Once the “Nick Roslin Memorial” is in the record books, Wall Stadium will wrap up the regular season on Saturday night, September 5, with “Fan Appreciation Night.” In addition to racing events, the evening will feature an on track party where every car that competes at the speedway will be parked on the track and fans will be welcomed from the grandstands to walk the track and meet the drivers and crews.

            When regular season action is complete, all attention will turn to post-season events which will include the “Tommy Comerford Memorial” on Saturday, October 24, and the annual “Turkey Derby” on Thanksgiving weekend.

Wall Stadium is located on Route 34 in Wall Township, N.J., just one mile north of Garden State Parkway exit 98 and Interstate 195 exit 35B. The speedway office is open from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and all day Saturday during events.

PETE BRITTAIN MAY RACE IN JOHN BLEWETT III MEMORIAL 76

SATURDAY NIGHT (AUGUST 15) AT WALL STADIUM

WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J. ~ Wall Stadium promoter Jim Morton says that his sources indicate that tour type Modified stock car driver Pete Brittain will race in the first annual “John Blewett III Memorial” 76 lap race for the Red Bank Sleep Shoppe Modified stock cars Saturday night (August 15) at the shore speedway. Qualifying is set for 6:00 p.m. with Able Ford Subaru Racing Series main event competition schedule to start at 7:30 p.m. sharp.

            Brittain should be a favorite in the event since he was the track’s 1990 Modified champion and a 17-time main event winner. His most recent victory came just last Saturday night as he won the first of two 50-lap races for tour type Modified stock cars. Brittain will reportedly be at the wheel of Tilton Motorsports No. 77, a car that won here with Anthony Sesely at the wheel on August 1.

            Brittain will have plenty of competition as almost all of the top RBSS Modified drivers at the speedway have made it clear that this is an event that they want to win. Eight time champion Dave Michel of Manahawkin says that he will be in the field, along with point leader Shaun Carrig of Little Falls, Chas Okerson of Freehold, Lavallette’s Adam LaCicero, Scott Riggleman of Manchester, Tim Arre of Toms River and Anthony Sesely of Manalapan. Perhaps the sentimental favorite in the contest will be John Blewett III’s brother, multi-time 2009 winner Jimmy Blewett of Howell.

            Many members of the Blewett family, led by patriarch John Blewett, Sr., will be on hand to greet the winner. John Blewett III&#
