BANNER NITE AND ON-TRACK ACTION MARK INDEPENDENCE WEEKEND STOCK CAR SHOW AT WALL STADIUM

The dedication of the race fans will be the focus this Saturday Night (July 5) at Wall Stadium Speedway as enthusiasts will be rewarded with a 50-lap championship race for the Factory Stocks, plus action for the Downs Ford Modified stock cars, Sportsman racers, the 4 Cylinder Stock and Legend Cars divisions. Also on tap for the Independence Day weekend Saturday night schedule is a special “Banner Night” competition. Grandstand seating will open at 5:00 p.m. and qualifying is set for 5:45 p.m. Main event racing will follow.

Veterans and active military, with proper id, will be admitted free in honor of their service and the Independence Day weekend. Fans of all ages are urged to create banners for their favorite race teams for a chance to win prizes during a special portion of the program.

The Factory Stocks fill the spotlight with their 50-lap main event led by defending champion Ronnie Mullen of Brick and former champion Scott Riggleman of Manchester. Lady racer Tiffany Olejnik of Wall, veteran Whitey Miller of Jamesburg, Marty Van Druten and Josh Matthews, both of Toms River and Joey Helberg of Union are expected to be among those seeing action.

The Downs Ford Modified Modified 40-lap main event is important in the race for the 2014 driving crown.
