Cliff Krause Statement on Wall Stadium (followed by a Turkey Derby Update !)
(Thanks Jeff Gravatt !):
CLIFF KRAUSE SAYS WALL STADIUM WILL REMAIN PAVED:
HAS NO INTEREST IN OTHER SPEEDWAYS
WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J. ~ Despite reports to the
contrary, Wall Stadium promoter Cliff Krause says that he has no plans to change his third mile paved oval’s racing
surface to dirt. Krause also said that reports suggesting that he has an interest in promoting another speedway are completely
untrue.
“In a way, I can see how these stories may have gotten started,” Krause said. “Most people know that
I have a strong love of and involvement in local racing on both paved and dirt surfaces. People also know that I am very excited
about bringing dirt track Modified and Sportsman cars to Wall Stadium’s paved track for Turkey Derby in a few weeks.
“But let me make this perfectly clear. I see no reason to change Wall Stadium’s paved surface to dirt and
I have no plans on changing the surface while I’m involved with Wall Stadium. I also am not interested in operating
any other speedway.
“I
am concentrating on Wall Stadium and on Turkey Derby on Thanksgiving weekend.”

has enjoyed 3 wins during his Tour career and 28 victories at Wall Stadium, including a triumph in the 1981 edition of the
Turkey Derby.

"Halloween Spectacular" news & a historic moment @ Wall Stadium !
(Thanks Jeff !):
SESELY BACKS UP MODIFIED CROWN WITH SATURDAY
WALL STADIUM WIN
WALL TOWNSHIP,
N.J. – Newly crowned Wall Stadium Modified stock car driving
champion Anthony Sesely proved to all that he is worthy on Saturday as he won the 75-lap main event which was the cornerstone
of the first annual “Halloween Spooky Spectacular” auto racing program. It was the sixth win of the year for the
Matawan speedster and sets him up as a favorite in the annual season-ending Turkey Derby races set for Friday and Saturday
of Thanksgiving weekend.
By the luck of the draw Sesely shared the front
row with Toms River’s Tim Arre at the outset of the event. Sesely was able to out race Arre into the early lead. Sesely
then paced the contest the rest of the way, although Justin Gumley of Colts Neck offered plenty of restart competition late
in the contest. Chas Okerson of Freehold, Arre and Lafayette’s Roger Coss completed the top five.
“There were some nights this season when
this car was perfection,” Sesely said. “It wasn’t perfect tonight, but it was close. The crew, the sponsors
and my family give me a great car for every race.”
In the companion main event for the Sportsman
cars that was originally set for 50-laps but was shortened to 25 due to time restraints, Shawna Ingraham of Brick raced to
her first ever win and became the first ever female racer to win a Wall Stadium race in an open wheel stock car. Charlie Kremer
III of Toms River, Howell’s Kevin Davison, Brick’s Robert Sutphin and Trevor Alspach of Willingboro chased Ingraham
across the line.
Joey Helberg of Union topped the 30-lapper for
the Factory Stocks after early leader Ronnie Mullen of Brick spun with just a few laps remaining. Vern McLaughlin of Whitehouse
Station, Shannon Mongeau of Bradley Beach, Toms River’s Marty Van Druten and Rick Siddons of Beachwood completed the
top five.
Elliott Wohl of Freehold crossed the finish line
first in the Street Stock 25-lapper, but when his car failed post-race tech newly crowned champ Howie Conk of Jackson was
awarded the win. Shannon Mongeau was second in this one, followed by Joe Oliver, Sal Liguori and Jim Downey.
Derek Hopkinson of Toms River celebrated his
2011 Legend Cars driving crown with his eight win of the season on Saturday. Howell’s Robert French, brothers Trevor
and Zack Alspach, both of Willingboro and Rob Hyer wrapped up the top five.
Last minute entry Joey Payne raced through the
field to win the TQ Midget main event, while Dave Parker won the MicroStock feature race.
The track will present a NEETS Enduro, the “Frankenduro,” on October 30 with the pit area
opening at 10:00 a.m., the grandstands opening at noon and the first race beginning at 1:00 p.m. Wall Stadium will then close
out the year with the two-day Turkey Derby on Friday and Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend. Enduro racing will then return
on Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend.

HAMILTON WINS RACE; SESELY TAKES MOFIEID TITLE
AT WALL STADIUM SATURDAY
WALL TOWNSHIP,
N.J. – Chris Hamilton of North Haledon won the final 40-lap
battle of the regular season, while Anthony Sesely of Matawan won the season-long war for the Modified stock car driving title
at Wall Stadium Speedway Saturday night. It was Hamilton’s second win of the campaign, while Sesely celebrated his first
speedway driving crown.
While Hamilton jumped to the lead in the early
going, he had no easy time of it as defending champion Chas Okerson of Freehold chased him all the way to the finish. Although
the battle for the lead was exciting, even more thrills were offered while Shaun Carrig of Little Falls, Sesely, Adam LaCicero
of Lavallette, Jason Treat of Jackson and Roger Coss of Lafayette battled for position close behind.
At the checker it was Hamilton, Okerson, Carrig
and Sesely who nailed down the crown with his fourth place finish. Treat completed the top five.
“I have to thank Chas for being a gentleman,”
Hamilton said in the winner’s circle. “Don’t get me wrong, he didn’t let me nap, but he drove a very
clean race.”
Robert Vassilatos, Jr. of Brick fought off stiff
competition to win the companion 25-lapper for the Blewett Recycling Sportsman cars. After wrestling past fellow Brick resident
Adam Gordon in the early going, Vassilatos fought off Andrew Krause of Holmdel and Kevin Eyres of Clots Neck for the win.
Eyres earned his third straight driving title with his third place finish, followed by Zach Alspach of Willingboro and Shawna
Ingraham of Brick.
Shannon Mongeau of Bradley Beach came from deep
in the pack to win his 12th Sanzari/Shinn Factory Stock main event of the season and nail down the 2011 driving
title. John Bowers of Pt. Pleasant was the runner-up, while Jim Downey of Cliffwood Beach, Whitey Miller of Old Bridge and
Brick’s Ronnie Mullen completed the top five.
Derek Hopkinson of Toms River raced to victory
and the divisional driving crown in the 25-lapper for the INEX Legend Cars. Robert French was second and Trevor Alspach of
Willingboro was a tight third. Ron Poley of Egg Harbor Township and Eatontown’s Malcolm Campbell completed the top five.
Jerry Stanzione of Keansburg led from start to
finish to grab the victory in the 25-lapper for the Street Stocks. Shannon Mongeau was a close second, while Bill Vanderveen
of Beachwood was third and Howie Conk of Jackson, who clinched the 2011 driving crown, was fourth. Mike Tillett of Bayville
was fifth.
This
Friday evening, September 30, Wall Stadium will host the final free to the public custom, muscle car, street rod, racecar
and classic car show of the year. Gates open at 5:00 p.m. and the show continues until dark.

JIMMY BLEWETT WINS JOHN BLEWETT MEMORIAL
AT WALL STADIUM SATURDAY
WALL TOWNSHIP,
N.J. – Jimmy Blewett made his first start of the year at Wall
Stadium Speedway Saturday night a successful one as he lead from start to finish to win the 76-lap John Blewett Memorial for
Modified stock cars. The Howell resident won the race, which was contested in memory of his late brother who passed away in
a Connecticut racing accident four years ago, in a car that was painted the same as the first car that supporter Don Ling
owned. Ling was honored for his contributions to the sport during the evening.
After suffering numerous mechanical problems
early in the evening, Blewett posted the seventh fastest time during time trials before picking the second starting spot in
a blind draw. Blewett battled fellow front row starter Kevin Flockhart of Jackson in the early going until point leader Anthony
Sesely of Matawan arrived in second from a fifth starting spot.
Simply put, from lap eight on Sesely tried every
possible path to race into the lead only to have Blewett slam the door time after time. As it had been much of the race, when
the checker flag waved Sesely was right on Blewett’s rear bumper. Shaun Carrig of Little Falls, Lafayette’s Roger
Coss and Flockhart completed the top five.
“It has been a long time since I’ve
won a race, so this feels really good,” Blewett, who has concentrated on dirt track racing this season, said. “I
want to thank (car-owners) Scott Matarasso and Jeff Willett for letting me do this. I also have to thank my grandfather and
father for all their support with our racing.”
Trevor Alspach of Willingboro had as close to
a perfect night as possible on Saturday.
In the 38-lap Sportsman main event, Alspach sprinted
away from the field to take his first ever win in that division. Rookie Jonathan Mandato of Toms River was impressive in finishing
second, while Holmdel’s Andrew Krause, Brick’s Robert Sutphin and Howell’s Kevin Davison wrapped up the
top five.
Alspach was also victorious in the 25-lapper
for the INEX Legend Cars, although he had to fight of Jackson’s Dan Roslin and Howell’s Robert French to the finish
line. Derek Hopkinson of Toms River and Zack Alspach of Willingboro were fourth and fifth.
Shannon Mongeau of Bradley Beach came from 13th
on the grid to win the 25-lapper for the Sanzari/Shinn Factory Stocks. Steve West of Howell was second, while Todd Pilla of
Beachwood, Jim Downey of Cliffwood Beach and early leader Troy Gant of Brick wrapped up the top five.
Mike Tillett of Bayville celebrated an emotional
career first win in the Street Stock 25-lapper as he dedicated the victory to his father-in-law George Pieruicenti who passed
away on Friday evening. Tillett jumped to the lead early and never looked back even though Nick Shaw of Chatham closed in
at the finish. Bill Vanderveen of Beachwood, Jackson’s Howie Conk and Jerry Stanzione of Keansburg completed the top
five.
Wall Stadium will wrap up the Saturday night regular season this weekend (Sept. 24). The Modifieds will
lead the regular season finale with a 40-lapper, while the Sportsman cars, Legend Cars, Street Stocks and Factory Stocks are
all scheduled for 25-lappers. Grandstand seating will open at 5:00 p.m. and the first qualifying event will take the green
flag at 7:00 p.m.
Stock car action will then return on October 22 for the first ever “Halloween Spooky Spectacular”
before the season closes on November 25 and 26 with the traditional “Turkey Derby XXXVIII” events.

KREMER TOPS SPORTSMAN FEATURE AT WALL STADIUM SATURDAY
WALL TOWNSHIP,
N.J. – Charlie Kremer III raced from fifth on the starting
grid to win the Blewett Recycling Sportsman stock car 25-lap feature race Saturday night at Wall Stadium Speedway. It was
the second win of the year for the Toms River resident.
Trevor Alspach of Willingboro was the first leader
of the event as Kremer started to pick his way to the front. By lap seven Kremer had advanced to second, but then slipped
a few spots in a scuffle while defending champ Kevin Eyres of Colts Neck advanced to the runner-up spot.
Both Eyres and Kremer were right on Alspach’s
rear bumper as the field passed the halfway point. Lap fifteen became the turning point in the event when the front-runners
touched and scrambled on the front stretch. With the yellow flag never waving Kremer was able to find the opportunity to race
into the lead and then on to the win.
Howell’s Kevin Davison was second, while
Brick’s Joe Mongeau, Eyres and Howell’s Chris Lane completed the top five.
“I think it was just a racing deal,”
Kremer said of the front stretch incident among the leaders. “I just got real lucky and was able to drive to the inside.
That’s how I got the lead.”
Alspach still enjoyed a great evening of racing
as he topped the 25-lapper for the INEX Legend Cars. Alspach started fifth and took the lead on lap 19. Derek Hopkinson of
Toms River and Jackson’s Dan Roslin were a tight second and third, while Todd McClure of Manville and Wall’s Robert
French completed the top five.
Brick’s Ronnie Mullen chased down early
leader Neil Katz to take the lead with just four circuits remaining in the non-stop 25-lapper for the Sanzari/Shinn Factory
Stocks. Katz was the runner-up, while Howell’s Steve West, Toms River’s Marty Van Druten and Robert St. Hilaire
were third through fifth.
Ron Frees of Browns Mills appeared to be home
free for his fifth straight Street Stock win, but when his car failed a post-race inspection point leader Howie Conk of Jackson
was awarded the win. Bayville’s Mike Tillett was the runner-up, with Rick Kopf of Keyport third, Beachwood’s Bill
Vanderveen fourth and Nick Shaw of Chatham fifth.

News & Results from last nights racing action @ Wall Stadium ! (Thanks Jeff Gravatt !):
SESELY (MODIFIED) AND HOPKINSON (LEGEND) WIN WALL
40-LAPPERS SATURDAY
WALL TOWNSHIP,
N.J. – Modified stock car driver Anthony Sesely of Matawan
and Legend Cars speedster Derek Hopkinson of Toms River each enjoyed 40-lap feature race victories at Wall Stadium Speedway
Saturday night (9/3). Sesely’s victory was his fifth of the year, while Hopkinson enjoyed his sixth win of the campaign.
Farmingdale’s Billy Cole led the Modified
race early, before Shaun Carrig of Little Falls raced into the lead on lap 20. Soon Tim Arre of Toms River and Sesely charged
into second and third and the lead trio hooked up in a tight fight for the lead.
This lead battle boiled over with just eight
laps remaining when the trio touched and Carrig went spinning. With the officials feeling that Arre contributed to the miscue,
he was sent to the rear of the pack moving Sesely into the lead and on to the eventual win. Freehold’s Chas Okerson,
Chris Hamilton of North Haledon, Lafayette’s Roger Coss and Arre completed the top five.
“From what I saw it seemed like a racing
accident,” Sesely said after the event. “When the 54 car slowed it seemed to trigger a chain reaction. I just
wish we all could have raced to the finish.”
Hopkinson was dominant in the INEX Legend Cars
40-lapper. He charged his No. 17 to the front with just four laps down and never looked back. Howell’s Robert French
recovered from early trouble to impress with a runner-up finish, while Kenny Van Wickle of Manasquan was third and brothers
Zach and Trevor, both of Willingboro, were fourth and fifth.
“I always thank my family, but this week
they really worked hard on the car,” Hopkinson said. “I started college this week, so they had to have the car
done early. They did a great job.”
In the companion 25-lapper for the Blewett Recycling
Sportsman cars, Brick’s Robert Sutphin raced into the lead early and drove on to his second win of the year. Zach Alspach,
Howell’s Kevin Davison, Kevin Eyres of Colts Neck and Brick’s Joe Mongeau were second through fifth.
Howell’s Steve West took the lead on lap
10 and then raced on to his third victory of the year in the Sanzari/Shinn Factory Stock 25-lapper. Whitey Miller of Jamesburg,
Beachwood’s Todd Pilla, Brick’s Troy Gant and Shannon Mongeau of Bradley Beach completed the top five.
Brick’s Ron Frees continued to impress
in the Street Stock division by winning his fourth straight 25-lap main event. Jackson’s Howie Conk, Beachwood’s
Bill Vanderveen, Nick Kopf of Keyport and Chatham’s Nick Shaw were second through fifth.
Wall Stadium offers motorsports action on both Saturday night and Sunday afternoon this coming weekend.
On the Saturday night (9/10) card the TQ Midgets, INEX Legend Cars, Sportsman cars and the Street Stocks all race in 25-lap
main events. In addition, a “Powder Puff” race for the ladies will be presented, Garden State Vintage Stock Car
Clubs cars will be on display and go-karts will compete on the “inner oval.”
Saturday’s card will also feature the fans in “Banner Night” competition as they parade
their banners for their favorite drivers for prizes. The speedway also urges fans to bring nonperishable foods for a food
drive for victims of Hurricane Irene. Grandstand seating will open at 5:00 p.m. and the first qualifying event will take the
green flag at 7:00 p.m.
Then
on Sunday “BigFoot” will lead a field of six Monster Trucks to the track for figure eight racing competition.
In addition, Hollywood stuntmen and motorcycle jumpers will perform. Gates will open at noon, with an autograph session and
Monster Truck rides starting at 1:00 p.m. The main event is set for 3:00 p.m. with a second autograph and Monster Truck ride

News & Results from last nights races @ Wall Stadium ! (Thanks Jeff ! ) :
ERIC MAURIELLO WINS SPORTSMAN 75 SATURDAY NIGHT AT WALL STADIUM
WALL TOWNSHIP,
N.J. – Stock car driver Eric Mauriello enjoyed the biggest
victory of his young career Saturday night as he won the “Sportsman 75” lap championship race at Wall Stadium.
It was the fourth win of the season for the Howell resident.
After a series of caution flags for minor incidents
slowed the early laps of the event, Brick’s Robert Sutphin was the early leader while fighting off Chris Lane of Howell,
Trevor Alspach of Willingboro and others. All the while, Mauriello was advancing from a fifth starting spot and moved into
second by the seventh lap.
Mauriello then sized up Sutphin before swinging
to the outside lane on lap 11 to take the lead. Although Mauriello then stretched his lead, fans were entertained by a battle
for second between veterans Joe Mongeau of Brick and Kevin Eyres of Colts Neck to the finish.
At the stripe Mauriello almost lost control of
his car, later blaming the slip on be “over excited.” Eyres got second at the checker, with Mongeau, Charlie Kremer
III of Toms River and Brick’s Adam Gordon wrapping up the top five.
“This is real big for us,” Mauriello
said of the Blewett Recycling Sportsman win. “All the people who are joining me here in the winner’s circle made
this possible. The sponsors are real important. And my dad, he made this all happen for me.”
Derek Hopkinson of Toms River took down the win
in the companion 25-lapper for the INEX Legend Cars, taking the lead on lap three after starting fourth. Brothers Zach and
Trevor Alspach, both of Willingboro, crossed the line second and third, with Dan Roslin of Jackson and Malcolm Campbell of
Eatontown fourth and fifth.
Ron Frees of Browns Mills won his third main
event in as many outings in the Street Stock 25-lap feature race. Frees started sixth before taking the top spot in the 19th
lap with a daring inside lane pass. Early leader Jerry Stanzione of Keansburg was second, with Nick Kopf, Nick Shaw of Chatham
and Jackson’s Howie Conk wrapping up the top five.
Buddy Sloed, Jr. won his second 25-lap main event
in as many outings in the Three Quarter Midget feature race. Ryan Tidman, Zach Martini, Dan Lane and Matt Janisch wrapped
up the top five.
Wall Stadium returns to action this Saturday night (August 27) with “Teen Night,” which will
feature a discounted admission for teens and a live performance by the band Micro Machine. On the card the INEX Legend Cars
will be in the spotlight in a 40-lap main event, while the Modifieds race in a 40-lapper and the Sportsman cars and the Sanzari/Shinn

TIM ARRE RACES TO WALL STADIUM MODIFIED WIN
ON FIRST RESPONDERS NIGHT
WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J. – Veteran
Modified stock car driver Tim Arre raced to victory in the 40-lap main event at Wall Stadium Saturday night. The popular Toms
River veteran made his first start since a major crash in July to take the “First Responders Night” win.
Farmingdale’s Billy Cole III jumped to the lead at the initial green flag, but never had an easy go of it. Almost
from the start, Arre and Roger Coss of Lafayette were right on his bumper as they fought for second spot. Arre was finally
able to gain control of second before setting his sites on Cole. Arre finally found his path into the lead at the halfway
mark and then raced on to the win.
Cole and
Coss were strong to the finish crossing the line second and third, with defending champion Chas Okerson of Freehold fourth
and current point leader Anthony Sesely of Matawan fifth.
“This
is just a great night for us to win,” Arre said after the race. “We’ve had some very tough races and I am
so glad to win this for (car-owner) Bob Nelson. We also want to honor all the First Responders on this very special night.”
The INEX Legend Cars were also in the spotlight Saturday with “Twin 25” lap main events. In the first one,
invader Mike Alcaro raced to a thrilling win over Willingboro’s Zach Alspach, Howell’s Robert French, Trevor Alspach
of Willingboro and Kenny Van Wickle of Manasquan.
In the second Legend Cars 25-lapper, French grabbed an impressive victory over Trevor Alspach, Dan Roslin, Zach Alspach
and Van Wickle.
Steve West of Howell took down his second win of the year in the 25-lap Sanzari/Shinn Factory Stock feature race. The
former Legend Cars standout was chased across the finish line by Rick Siddons of Beachwood, Jim Downey of Cliffwood Beach,
Whitey Miller of Jamesburg and Toms River’s Marty Van Druten.
Ron Frees of Browns Mills grabbed his second straight win on the 25-lap nightcap for the Street Stocks. Nick Shaw of
Chatham, Jackson’s Howie Conk, Beachwood’s Bill Vanderveen and Mike Tillett of Beachwood completed the top five.
Wall Stadium returns to action this Saturday night (August 20) for “Carnival Night”.

ROGER COSS BEATS RAIN AND MODIFIEDS AT WALL SATURDAY
WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J. ~ Roger Coss was one of the many auto racing enthusiasts that were happy that Wall Stadium Speedway
officials waited out early evening rain showers. The popular Lafayette speedster was then able to dry off his racecar and
drive to his second Modified stock car feature race win of the season Saturday night.
Coss started fourth in the 40-lapper and immediately
went after the lead. After a couple of caution flags for minor incidents slowed the early action, Coss and Farmingdale’s
Billy Cole hooked up in a side-by-side battle that thrilled the fans for many laps. Even after Coss took the lead on lap 14,
Cole continued to haunt him until lap 28 when point leader Anthony Sesely of Matawan powered into second.
Sesely then tracked down Coss to make it a tight
finish for the lead, while Cole, Freehold’s Chas Okerson and Amanda Sesely of Matawan completed the top five.
“I hope Billy Cole knows how much fun that
was racing like that lap after lap,” Coss said. “I really respect him for the way he drives and the way he drove
tonight. He ran me hard but clean.”
After suffering through crashes in the last two
Blewett Recycling Sportsman events, Zach Alspach of Willingboro made the ultimate comeback by winning the companion 25-lapper.
Alspach took advantage of a front row starting spot and never gave anyone a chance to ruin his night.
Howell’s Kevin Davison also enjoyed a comeback
after two straight wrecks by finishing second, while Toms River’s Charlie Kremer III, Howell’s Eric Mauriello
and Kevin Eyres of Colts Neck were third through fifth.
Shannon Mongeau of Bradley Beach won the first
of two 25-lappers for the Street Stocks, taking the lead near the half way point. Ron Frees of Browns Mills, Rich DeMarco,
point leader Howie Conk of Jackson and Bayville’s Mike Tillett were second through fifth.
The second Street Stock 25-lapper saw Frees take
the win after racing to the lead on lap nine. Nick Shaw of Chatham was second, followed by Howie Conk, Jerry Stanzione of
Keansburg and John Kopf.
Shannon Mongeau visited the winner’s circle
for the ninth time this second in the Sanzari/Shinn Factory Stock 25-lap feature after starting ninth on the grid. Early leader
Ronnie Mullen of Brick was the runner-up, with Jim Downey of Cliffwood Beach third, Howell’s Steve West fourth and Rick
Siddons of Beachwood, fifth.
Early in the evening, officials debuted a new
four-cylinder racecar for competition in a division yet to be named. Current plans call for the car to be completely stock
except for safety modifications. The cars will race on the fifth mile flat “inner oval” and the direction of competition,
either right or left turns, will be determined in a blind draw before each event. Rules will be available soon.
Wall Stadium returns to action this Saturday
night (August 13) with “First Responders Night.” On this evening, all members of police, fire and first aid organizations

DOWNEY AND WEST TOP FACTORY STOCK TWINS AT WALL SATURDAY
WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J. ~ Jim Downey of Cliffwood Beach and Howell’s Steve West stood proud in the winner’s
circle Saturday night at Wall Stadium Speedway as each took down wins in “Twin 25” lap main events for the United
Crane Factory Stocks.
In the first 25-lapper Todd Pilla of Beachwood
and Downey wrestled for the lead early before Pilla slowed with mechanical trouble and Downey raced off in the lead. Downey
then continued out front, while seven-time winner Shannon Mongeau of Bradley Beach and Troy Gant of Brick closed in. The final
laps were thrilling as the trio diced for the lead before Downey grabbed the win by a fender over Mongeau and Gant. Rick Siddons
of Beachwood and Brick’s Ronnie Mullen completed the top five.
In the Factory Stock nightcap, Marty Van Druten
of Toms River led early before West throttled to the front on lap seven. West then appeared to have the race well in hand
until a lap 23 tangle slowed the action and bunched the leaders. On the ensuing restart West was still the leader, but Mongeau
was again there to challenge. Still, West beat Mongeau to the line, with John Bowers of Pt. Pleasant, Richard Petey of Hackettstown
and Robert St. Hilaire of Pt. Pleasant wrapping up the top five.
The companion 25-lapper for the Blewett Recycling
Sportsman cars saw Eric Mauriello of Howell take the lead near halfway and then race on to his third win of the campaign.
Defending champion Kevin Eyres of Colts Neck was second, with Holmdel’s Andrew Krause, Charlie Kremer III of Toms River
and Brick’s Joe Mongeau finishing third through fifth.
Zach Alspach of Willingboro raced from fifth
on the grid to win the 25-lapper for the INEX Legend Cars. Alspach took the lead with ten laps in and then led Dan Roslin
of Egg Harbor Township, Toms River’s Derek Hopkinson, Howell’s Robert French and Kenny Van Wickle of Manasquan
to the finish line.
Buddy Sloed, Jr. made his first ever Wall Stadium
win a big one as he captured the prestigious “Tony Romit Memorial” over a fast closing Joey Payne. Ryan Tidman,
Alison Cumens and Matt Janisch were third through fifth.

LATE MODELS CANCELLED; MIDGETS AND FACTORY STOCKS READY FOR BIG RACES
SATURDAY (JULY 30) AT WALL STADIUM
WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J. ~ Even though officials were forced to cancel Saturday evening’s 40-lap Late Model stock
car feature race late on Thursday afternoon, a big schedule of stock car and open wheel Midget car racing is set for the shore
speedway for Saturday night (July 30). Heading the card will be the “Tony Romit Memorial” championship race for
the TQ Midgets and Twin 25 lap features for the Factory Stocks. Grandstand seating will open at 5:00 p.m. and racing will
start at 7:00 p.m.
“We were really looking forward to the
Late Model race and up until this morning (Thursday) we had every indication that a full field would be entered,” speedway
operator Cliff Krause said. “The we learned this morning from the organizer that far from a full field would be on hand.
“Because of that, we had no other choice
than to cancel that race. I’m still very excited about the evening of racing we have on tap. We have a lot of divisions
and a couple of extra important races set for the fans.”
Saturday night should still be an exciting evening
of action, as the touring Midgets of the American Three Quarter Midget Racing Association will join many of Wall Stadium Speedway’s
stock car divisions for a gigantic racing program. The open cockpit TQ Midgets, perhaps the fastest cars that race at the
speedway, are set to honor one of their best and most admired drivers ever by competing in the “Tony Romit Memorial.”
The United
Crane Factory Stocks will also be in the spotlight in Twin 25 lap main events. Seven-time winner Shannon Mongeau of Bradley
Beach is expected to be in the field, but will see plenty of competition from the likes of Todd Pilla of Beachwood, Steve
Lynch of Aberdeen and Howell’s Steve West, just to name a few.
Also on
the Saturday night card will be the Microstocks in the “Jack Bellinato Memorial”, Sportsman cars and Legend Cars. The Garden
State Vintage Stock Car Club will also be on hand.
“Pirate
Night” festivities will feature a scavenger hunt for the kids that will be presented throughout the evening.
Pit gates will open at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday,
with a paid practice session set for 2:30 p.m. until 4:30 p.m. Regular practice will be up next and grandstand seating will
open at 5:00 p.m. The first qualifying event will take the green flag at 7:00 p.m.

A few of you are probably wondering where this column has been lately. Some have asked me why I haven’t been to a race
or written a column the past couple of years. ( I did attend the Turkey Derby at Wall Stadium last November but hadn’t
been to a race before that since Bristol in 2009) I really didn’t have one particular answer. Many factors had led me
astray, if you will, from the smell of racing fuel and burnt rubber. As someone who has followed racing, and modified racing
in particular, since the early 1970’s, much has gone on in the racing circles, many good and many bad. Some of these
