Stock car racing fans will have their first opportunity this year to see the Saturday night racecars in action on Wall Stadium Speedway’s paved oval on Saturday afternoon (April 7) as track operators Cliff and Diane Krause host the first of three practice sessions. Fans will be welcome into the grandstands free of charge for the four-hour practice session, which starts at 11:00 a.m.
“We have been working hard for the past several months in preparation for this,” Krause said. “Everyone who has been working so hard is looking forward to Saturday’s practice session.
“It should be a great chance for new fans to come to the track and see what local racing is all about, while our old friends can also see all the new cars for the new season.”
While grandstand seating is free of charge, the April 7 practice session is a paid affair for competitors. Pit area gates will open at 10:00 a.m. so that race teams will have plenty of time to have their racecars inspected. On track practice will then begin at 11:00 a.m. and will continue until 3:00 p.m. Race teams are also reminded that tires will be available at the track starting with a racecar inspection and tire purchasing opportunity on March 31.
Once the April 7 test session is in the books, two addition practice sessions will then be hosted at the speedway on April 14 and April 21.
Once testing is completed, all attention will turn towards Saturday, April 28 and the official 2012 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.
Weekly Saturday evening stock car racing events will then run until the end of September, with the exception of June 23 when the annual “Formula D Drift Championship” will be presented.
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.
