In addition, the Freehold Ford Modifieds are set for a 125-lap race on June 24, Twin 35 lap races on July 8, a 125-lap race on July 29 and a 125-lap event on August 19. Both the October 21 “Spooky Spectacular” and November’s “Turkey Derby” also offer extra distance races for the Freehold Ford Modifieds.



2017 Wall Stadium Speedway activities begin on April 1 when teams are welcome to bring their cars to the track for technical and safety inspection. April 8 and April 15 will be reserved for practice sessions before the season opens on Saturday night, April 22. The speedway office is open now so that race teams and fans can get ready for the season early. In addition, rules and registration forms can be downloaded at wallspeedwayracing.com.
