Competitors planning to participate in the 2013 professional auto racing championship season at Wall Stadium Speedway will have their first of two chances at pre-season practice this Saturday (4/13/13). For competitors, pit area gates will open at 9:00 a.m. for race car inspection before the five hour practice session begins at 11:00 a.m. Fans will be welcome into the grandstands free of charge.

“Last year’s practice sessions were very well attended,” track operator Cliff Krause said. “The competition is tough here and the racers know it.

“For that reason, we are looking for a lot of cars to be at the track this Saturday for 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 and competitor licenses and pit area parking spots will be offered in the speedway office.

Once Saturday’s testing is complete one more pre-season test session will be offered on Saturday April 20. Then all attention will turn towards Saturday, April 27 and the official 2013 Season Opener. That season opening program will feature the Wall Modified, Sportsman, Limited Late Model, Legend Cars, Factory Stock and 4 Cylinder 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 22 when the annual “Formula D Drift Championship” will be presented.

The fifth mile inner oval at Wall Stadium will also be busy this season as the first event of the season for the “Small Car Series” is set for Sunday, May 19. Sunday Series practices are set for April 14 and April 21.

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.
