FARRELL AND REED WIN TOURING MODIFIED TWIN 50’S AT WALL STADIUM SATURDAY

Tommy Farrell of Neptune and Freehold’s Steven Reed each posted long awaited victories Saturday night at Wall Stadium as each held off tough competition for 50-lap main event wins in Touring Modified stock car action. Charlie Kremer III of Toms River, Sportsman division, Carl Thomas of Tinton Falls, Street Stock division, Kevin Nowak of Medford, N.Y., Legend Cars division and Chris Felber of Brick, Factory Stock division, were support division winners.

In the first Touring Modified 50-lapper, Farrell took advantage of a pole starting position, determined by the luck of the draw, to rocket to the lead at the outset. Anthony Sesely of Matawan was his first challenger before losing the second spot to Reed on lap 31. As Sesely slipped through the field, Reed chased Farrell while Pete Brittain of Allentown and Howell’s Ken Woolley, Jr. advanced to third and fourth.

At the checker flag Farrell enjoyed a slight margin of victory, while Reed, Brittain, Woolley and Sesely completed the top five.

The second Modified 50-lap race saw Danny Sammons of Trenton vault to the lead early with Tony Ferrante, Jr. of Franklin Square, N.Y. and Woolley second and third. Woolley soon took command of the race, while Sesely, Reed and Howell’s Jamie Tomaino advanced to the top four spots.

Sesely soon moved to second and began to attack Woolley. Just before the halfway mark the pair tangled with Woolley spinning from the lead and Sesely heading to the pit area for repairs. Reed was now the leader.

The second half of the contest saw Reed as the top man, but Farrell was looking to make it a perfect night as he rode second. This duo then wrestled all the way to the checker flag with Tomaino finishing third, Sesely fourth and Chas Okerson of Freehold, fifth.

Kremer raced into the lead with seven laps complete in the Sportsman 25-lapper and then drove on to his second win of the season. Kevin Davison of Howell chased him most of the way before settling for second, with Brick’s Robert Sutphin, Kyle Reinhardt of Neptune City and Toms River’s David Calabreeze completing the top five.

Anthony Crimaldi of Port Monmouth crossed the finish line first in the Street Stock 25-lapper, but when his car failed a post-race inspection Thomas was awarded the win. This duo had wrestled the entire race before the checker flag waved. Howie Conk of Jackson was second, Beachwood’s Bill Vanderveen, third, Richie Byrne, fourth and Jerry Stanzione of Keansburg, fifth.

When leaders Trevor Alspach of Willingboro, Mark Tischler of Martinsville and Derek Hopkinson of Toms River all had trouble in the closing laps, Nowak was there to race through the carnage and on to his first win of the year in the INEX Legend Car 25-lap feature race. New York invader Tom Hartensveld impressed many by finishing second, while Joe Mongeau of Brick, Kenny Van Wickle of Spring Lake and Brian Spencer of Edison were third through fifth.

After trying for years with countless close finishes, Felber took the lead on the second lap and grabbed his first ever victory in the 20-lap nightcap for the Flanagan Retail Development Factory Stocks. Former champ Rob Longo of Wall chased him to the line, with Rick Siddons of Beachwood, Brick’s Paul Hartwig and John Bowers of Point Pleasant completing the top five.

Wall Stadium stock cars roar back into action this Saturday night, June 19, with the Sportsman cars taking the spotlight in a 50-lap feature event. The Supreme Manufacturing Modifieds will battle in a 40-lap feature race, the Street Stocks and the Legend Cars will both race in 25-lappers and the Factory Stocks will battle in a 20-lap feature.
