Point races are tight in all of Wall Stadium Speedway’s auto racing divisions as the third mile high banked paved oval offers just three regular season Saturday night events in September. This Saturday (Sep. 13) evening grandstand seating will open at 5:00 p.m. with qualifying events are set for 5:45 p.m. and main events set for 7:00 p.m.
Going into Saturday night’s Downs Ford Modified 40-lap main event defending champion Chas Okerson of Freehold is at the top of the rankings but is followed closely by Trevor Alspach of Willingboro, Holmdel’s Andrew Krause, Shaun Carrig of Little Falls, Brick’s Shawna Ingraham, Eric Mauriello of Howell and Jackson’s Steven Reed.
In the Sportsman division, set for a 30-lapper on Saturday, Kevin Davison of Howell, Krause and Ken Matlach of New Hyde Park, N.Y. are tight at the top of the point rankings. Scott Riggleman of Manchester holds a healthy lead in the Factory Stock point race going into Saturday’s 25-lapper, but Union’s Joey Helberg and Wall’s Tiffany Olejnik still have a shot.
In the 4 Cylinder Stock division, with a 25-lapper on tap for Saturday, James Meyers of Port Monmouth is looking for his first crown while Alonzo Morales of Burlington leads the pack that is chasing him. The Legend Cars 25-lapper will be pivotal in the title chase as Brain Spencer of Edison is at the top of the rankings while Dan Roslin of Egg Harbor Township and Howell’s Robert French are frantically trying to catch him.
Also on Saturday night’s card will be a 25-lap main event for the touring TQ Midgets while the beautifully restores racecars of the Garden State Vintage Stock Car Club will also be on hand. In addition, the orange No. 6 Modified AMC Gremlin will be on display in order to honor the late Rick Sendzik. Sendzik, who passed away from natural causes recently, was well known for racing in this car and was famous in getting the most out of the low budget machine against many higher budget race teams.
On Saturday, pit gates will open at 1:00 p.m. with practice starting at 3:00 p.m. Grandstands will open at 5:00 p.m. and qualifying will start at 5:45 p.m. Main events for all divisions are scheduled for 7:00 p.m.
Of special note the speedway will celebrate “Fan Appreciation Night” with an “On Track Party” on Saturday, September 20 with all fans being invited onto the racing surface to meet the drivers and view the cars up close. The “Double Point Showdown” will then be presented on September 27 with all of the speedway’s classes racing to determine divisional championships.
Wall Stadium presents professional motorsports events on Saturdays and Sundays through the end of September. Special post-season events are set for Saturday, October 18 and for Friday, Saturday and Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend in November. The 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. The speedway hotline number is 732-681-6400, while CKMotorsports@aol.com is the track’s email address. More information is also available at www.wallspeedwayracing.com.
