FINAL PRE-SEASON STOCK CAR PRACTICE SET FOR WALL STADIUM THIS SATURDAY (4/9/11)

Competitors planning to participate in the 2011 professional auto racing championship season at Wall Stadium Speedway will have one final chance at pre-season practice this Saturday (4/9/11). For competitors, pit area gates will open at 9:00 a.m. for race car inspection before the four hour practice session begins at 11:00 a.m. Fans will be welcome into the grandstands free of charge.

“Last Saturday’s practice session was very well attended,” track operator Cliff Krause said. “The first practice of the year is usually a lot lighter than the second one which is the last one before the season starts.

“For that reason, we are looking for a lot of cars to be at the track this Saturday for the final pre-season practice.”

While grandstand seating is free of charge, Saturday’s practice session is a paid affair for competitors. Race teams are also reminded that tires will be available at the track during Saturday’s practice session.

Once Saturday’s testing is complete, all attention will turn towards Saturday, April 16 and the official 2011 Season Opener. That season opening program will feature the Wall Modified, Sportsman, Street Stock, Legend Cars and Factory Stock divisions. An “On Track Party,” where fans will be welcome from the grandstands onto the track to check out all of the racecars up close, will be a part of the season opening festivities. The April 16 “On Track Party” is set to start at 4:30 p.m., while opening night racing will start at 6:00 p.m.

Weekly Saturday evening stock car racing events will then run until the end of September, with the exception of June 18 when the annual “Formula D Drift Championship” will be presented.

The fifth mile inner oval at Wall Stadium will also be busy this weekend as the first event of the season for the “Small Car Series” is set for Sunday (April 10). Pit area gates will open at 9:30 a.m. with inspections and practice available for all vehicles. Sunday Series racing will start at noon.

Wall Stadium Speedway 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.
