Veteran Modified stock car driver Jimmy Blewett won perhaps the one race that means the most to his family as he took top honors in the John Blewett III Memorial 76 lap race at Wall Stadium Saturday night. The Howell resident’s win was his fifth in as many appearances at the third mile paved oval and came in the event that honors his late brother who lost his life in a Connecticut racing accident six summers ago.
Chris Hamilton of Oakland and Howell’s Eric Mauriello were stars early in this one as they battled almost constantly for the lead. Soon Blewett arrive in third from his sixth starting spot despite the fact that a few puffs of smoke signaled a braking problem that he would have to deal with the rest of the race.
The second half of the contest saw Hamilton still the pace setter while Mauriello and Blewett would swap second spot on every restart. Then, with just four laps remaining, Blewett dove to the inside lane to take the lead before Hamilton and Mauriello touched and hammered the third turn rail one lap later.
Blewett then drove the final three laps to the win, while Steven Reed and Chas Okerson, both of Freehold, were second and third. Holmdel’s Andrew Krause and Christian LaCicero of Lavallette were fourth and fifth.
“This race always means a lot to our family and it is one race that I always want to win,” Blewett said. “On the track I just gave a couple of guys the same thing they gave me. All in all it was a good race.”
The Sportsman cars ran a 38-lap main event on John Blewett III Memorial Night with Howell’s Kevin Davison taking his first win of the year. Trevor Alspach of Willingboro and Holmdel’s Andrew Krause battled for second most of the way before Alspach got the spot. Kevin Eyres of Colts Neck and Zack Alspach of Willingboro were fourth and fifth.
Steve Michel of Egg Harbor City knifed his way to the lead early and raced on to the win in the 25-lapper for the Factory Stocks. Title contenders Ronnie Mullen of Brick and Scott Riggleman of Manchester were second and third, while Union’s Joey Helberg and Ed Bischoff of Howell were fourth and fifth.
In the final 15 laps of a 25-lap Factory Stock feature held over from the previous week Mullen took the win over Wall’s Tiffany Olejnik, Michel, Helberg and Josh Matthews of Toms River.
Jerry Stanzione of Keansburg raced through the pack and into the lead by the halfway point to win a non-stop 4 Cylinder 25-lap main event. Early leader Mike Wahl of East Islip was second, Wall’s Cole Ormsbee third, Beachwood’s Todd Pilla fourth and Wall’s Brien Crosby wrapped up the top five.
Trevor Alspach of Willingboro won his fifth Legend Cars 25-lapper of the season over Wall’s Robert French, Zack Alspach of Willingboro, Jim Davison of Bridgeville, De. and Steven Woytysiak of Roslyn Heights, N.Y.
This Saturday night (August 24) the speedway celebrates the sport with NASCAR Night festivities. On the speedway the Late Model cars will invade to make up a main event rain postponed earlier this season. The Limited Late Models will also be in the spotlight in a 50-lapper, with the Modifieds, 4 Cylinders and Factory Stocks will also be on the card. A Ladies’ Race is also on the agenda.
