WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J. ~ As entries continue to pour into the Wall Stadium speedway office for this weekend’s Turkey Derby XXXVIII, it is becoming obvious that this year’s season-ending event could be the most hotly contested ever.

The weekend’s action for the Dirt track Modified and Sportsman cars should prove interesting as Canadian dirt racing standout Stewart Friesen will be in the field.
