Eric Mauriello raced to the front of the field, wrestled his way past a team mate and then raced to his second Modified stock car win of the year at Wall Stadium Saturday night. The Howell resident was last season’s Sportsman division champion and is racing in his first full season in the Modified division.
Shawna Ingraham of Brick was the early leader of the 40 lap test and had every intention of becoming the first female Modified division winner in the speedway’s history. Ingraham stretched an impressive lead early on while Mauriello was charging to the front of the pack and arrived in the runner-up with ten laps down.
A caution then tightened the field and Mauriello then sized up his team mate before finally taking the lead on a lap 24 restart. Mauriello then fought off Oakland’s Chris Hamilton and Freehold’s Steven Reed before taking the win. Reed, Hamilton, Chas Okerson of Freehold and Christian LaCicero if Lavallette wrapped up the top five.
“Those restarts were the key tonight,” Mauriello said. “You have to be spot on in this division because everyone is just so good. Dick and Robert Barney really give me a great car every week. It was very fast tonight.”
Trevor Alspach raced past his brother Zack near the halfway point and then drove on to win his second Sportsman 30-lapper of the season. Following the Willingboro based Alspach brothers across the finish line was Howell’s Kevin Davison, Andrew Krause of Holmdel and Kenny Van Wickle of Manasquan.
After coming close on several occasions Mike Wahl of East Islip, N.Y. won the 25-lap main event for the 4 Cylinder cars. Wall’s Brien Crosby challenged Wahl before settling for second, with Wall’s Cole Ormsbee, Brick’s Randy Hart and James Meyers of Port Republic completing the top five.
Ron Frees of Brick made his first start of the season a great one as he was victorious in the 25-lap main event for the Limited Late Model stock cars. Brian Doyle of Coram, N.Y., Port Monmouth’s Anthony Crimaldi, Ken Matlach of Levittown, N.Y. and Bayville’s Mike Tillett were second through fifth.
Ed Bischoff of Howell led every circuit of the 50-lap Factory Stock feature race but failed a post-race inspection handing the win to Wall’s Tiffany Olejnik, now a two-time winner. Ronnie Mullen of Brick and Scott Riggleman of Manchester were a tight second and third, while Marty Van Druten of Toms River and Jamesburg’s Whitey Miller were fourth and fifth.
This Saturday night (July 13) the speedway celebrates local businesses on “Rt. 34 Night.” Fans will have the chance to meet some of the speedway’s neighboring businesses during the evening’s festivities.
On the speedway the Limited Late Model cars are slated for twin main events, while the Modifieds, Sportsman, Factory Stocks and 4 Cylinder racers will also see action. A special Ladies’ Race is also on the schedule.
Qualifying is slated for 6 p.m. and main event action is set for 7:00 p.m. Grandstand seating opens at 5 p.m.
