Moms will be in the spotlight at Wall Stadium Speedway this Saturday night (May 12) as the third mile high banked paved oval speedway will honor the ladies on Mothers Day weekend. On “Mom’s Night,” the stock car speedway will offer a flowering plant to moms in attendance sponsored by John Gasko while supplies last. Grandstand seating will open at 4:00 p.m. and qualifying will start at 6:00 p.m. Main events take the green flag at 7:00 p.m.
“Auto racing is famous for being a family sport,” speedway operator Cliff Krause said. “I know that my wife Diane has backed our son Andrew’s racing since the start. Being at the track every week the impact of all the moms is very obvious.
“This should be a good way to honor all the moms who are so important to our sport.”
Defending Modified champion Anthony Sesely of Matawan, along with early season winners Steven Reed of Freehold and Adam LaCicero of Lavallette, will lead the powerful Modified stock cars in a 40-lap main event, while opening night Sportsman winner Eric Mauriello of Howell and recent winner Charlie Kremer III of Toms River will pace that division in a 30-lap main event. Factory Stock early season winners Scott Riggleman of Manchester and Ronnie Mullen of Brick are expected to return for their division’s 25-lapper and the Legend Cars will compete in a 25-lap feature led by defending champ and two-time early season winner Derek Hopkinson of Toms River. Defending champion and two-time early season winner Howie Conk of Jackson will lead the Street Stocks into action.
Saturday’s schedule will see the competitor pit area open at 2:30 p.m.
The regular afternoon practice session will then begin at 4:00 p.m. and run until 5:30 p.m., while spectator seating will open at 4:00 p.m.
On track competition will then begin at 6:00 p.m. with qualifying events to be followed by feature race action for all five divisions at 7:00 p.m.
