JIMMY BLEWETT, JESSE STATE SPLIT WALL SAT. HEADLINERS
Eyres Doubles, McCormack, McLaughlin and Mike Stull Also Win
by Walter Elliott

WALL, TWP., N.J. -- Jimmy "Showtime" Blewett, of Howell, N.J., and Jesse State, of Hyde Park, N.Y., captured Wall Township Speedway's headlining home and visiting features Saturday night. Kevin Eyres, of Colts Neck, became a rare sportsman and RMP Modified Affordable Division same night feature winner. John McCormack, of Farmingdale, won the street stock feature; Vern McLaughlin III, of Whitehouse Station, the Value Towing Factory Stock feature and Mike Stull, of Hamilton, in INEX Legends Cars.
Blewett returned from a month's absence to win his 26th career Wall NASCAR Whelen All-American Series modified main. The Statusgreen No. 66 Troyer-Chevrolet driver came from 11th grid spot to inherit the lead from Michael Bohn on lap 17. He held off Steve Reed and seven other finishers by .161 sec. the remaining 23 laps. Jimmy and 2006 WTS champion John Blewett III had been on the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour after questioning a restart call. Blewett, when asked if he was planning to run in Saturday's 50th Annual Garden State Classic here, said he did not know.

State came from third to first within the USAC Northeast Ford Focus Series Midget main's opening laps and went on to win his career first feature on Wall's banked, paved one-third-mile oval. The first-year Bay Auto Sales Hawk-Ford Focus No. 18 pilot held off Stockton, N.J.'s Sean Carman, polesitter Ryan Osborne, of Milford and all the other 10 starters by 3.670 sec. in a 25-lap all-green-flag run. Osborne and Mike Mohelski, of Frederick, Md., split their eight lap heats. USAC's regional division features full-scale midgets powered by common four-cylinder Ford Focus engines. The tour is to return Aug. 18.

Eyres' double started by winning the 25-lap sportsman main over class king Chas Okerson and ousting second-generation driver Steve Voorhees in the RMP MAD run. The Avis-backed driver then donated his overall $600 winnings to the Matheny Hospital and Center, of Peapack. Okerson pulled the last double last month by winning his sportsman and career first WAAS modified mains.

McLaughlin dodged a lap 14 collision between leader Gary Pein and last week's victor Joe Constandi to take his latest 25-lap Value Towing Factory Stock feature.

Stull used his experience to repel newcomer Mike Alcaro in the INEX Legends Cars race. McCormack outran Rich Mongeau in the street stock feature.

The 100-lap Garden State Classic tops a Saturday July 21st card of Street Stocks and Value Towing Factory Stocks plus INEX Legends. All six regular divisions are to return for USG Night July 28.

The Wall Sunday Series for Calabreeze Pools Legends, Van Wickle NAPA Bandoleros, Four-Cylinder Supermodifieds and other kart and kart based racers resume noon July 29. Contact (732) 681-6400 or wallspeedway.com (http://www.wallspeedway.com) for updates.
