LARSEN BROTHERS MEMORIAL 75 LAP MODIFIED FEATURE THIS SATURDAY, JUNE 30TH

Wall Twsp., NJ. - Wall Township Speedway presents the annual Larsen Brothers Memorial 75 lap Modified feature this Saturday, June 30th on Enterprise Rent-A-Car night. Racing starts at 6:30PM. This race has been held each year for the Larsen family as a tribute to the lives of Thor and Greg Larsen, since they were tragically lost in two separate work related accidents several years ago.  The Larsens were a mainstay at Wall every week, with both Greg and Thor's familiar faces in the grandstands and pits for many years. Brother Gary is still involved with the track in many capacities.

The Whelen All American Series Modifieds will be competing in a 75 lap feature event which will offer double points for the division. The cars will qualify through time trials and lap money will also be paid. Lap Sponsorship is still available for $25 dollars a lap, anyone interested in sponsoring a lap can contact the track office at 732-681-6400 from 9am till 5pm up until the race Saturday.

This season has been one of the most competitive in years for Wall Township Speedway. There are very tight championship fights going on in all six divisions.

The WTS Modifieds have a tight points battle, with leader Justin Gumley holding a slim two point lead over 2004 WTS Modified Champion Kevin Flockhart. Flockhart is already a three time winner this season. Steven Reed and Shaun Carrig are also within reach of taking over the points lead this Saturday.

The Street Stock division will be off this week to prepare for the $10,000, 50 lap Scott Motor Coach Street Stock Bonanza on July 7th. Points leader Rich Mongeau holds the lead over Ron Frees and defending champ Bill Vanderveen.

Kevin Eyres only has a three point margin over Multi-time track champ Chas Okerson in the Sportsman division. But Charlie Kremer III and Elliott Wohl may have something to say about that in this weeks competition.

In the tracks newest division, the RMP Modified Affordable Division or MAD, third generation driver Danny Bohn will try to fight off the challenges of Kevin Eyres, Robert Geibel, and Kevin Davison to hold onto his point lead.

The INEX Legend Cars have point contender Mike Fulton and Ronnie Poley trying to distance themselves from the other drivers, but Danny Roslin and Mark Tischler may have something to say about that this Saturday night.

The Value Towing Factory Stocks have teammates Vern McLaughlin and Richard Petey trying to settle the title between themselves, while Nick Shaw and two time winner Danny Collamer are hot on their heels.

If you are looking for something to do this Saturday night, why not come out and support local short track racing at the Jersey Shore. Regular night prices will be in effect, they are available on the tracks website on the ticket page at www.wallspeedway.com.

We will also be holding drawings for tickets to Raceway Park in Old Bridge Township, NJ as part of our promotional efforts with them.

RACE OF CHAMPIONS "BRAWL AT WALL" SET FOR SATURDAY, JUNE 23RD

WALL TWP., N.J. -- Wall Township Speedway has something this week for old time Modified fans and new fans alike. If anyone remembers the All Star Racing League, the early Turkey Derbies, or Garden State Classic's, they will remember it was a battle of local drivers VS. outside invaders. The Race Of Champions Modified Pavement Series will help rekindle those memories this Saturday, June 23rd, when they invade Wall to compete against several local NJ modified drivers on Scott Motor Coach Night.

Reigning Wall NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Modified track champion John Blewett III and brother Jimmy "Showtime" Blewett, both of Howell, are to field ROC-spec cars for the event this Saturday starting at 6:30 p.m.

While the Wall Whelen All-American Series and ROC Modifieds appear similar, John Blewett III said that the detail changes make a difference between the classes. "The RoC cars use a four barrel carburetor to our two barrels," said Blewett. "They also use 15-inch tires to our 10-inch tires. The changes give the ROC cars 120 more hp."

Third-generation driver Michael Bohn, of Freehold, had his ROC No. 54 on WTS's midway display Saturday night. Bohn, like Blewett, makes only partial appearances on the RoC tour. "I've run the ROC car when they come here and a few times at Mountain Speedway (in St. Johns, Pa.)," said Bohn.

The 2007 ROC series has scheduled 15 races among seven Northeastern tracks. Race winners and top five points earners get automatic entries to the 57th Race of Champions 200 Sept. 22nd at Oswego (N.Y.) Speedway.

The Blewett brothers, Bohn, Tommy Farrell, Steve Whitt, Steven Reed and other WTS drivers are to defend home track honors against ROC Modified Pavement Series regulars Pete Brittain, Earl Paules, John Marcovic and Eric Beers.

Brittian, of Oakhurst, NJ won the Richie Evans Memorial 100 at Oswego May 26. The self-proclaimed "Jersey Outlaw" won 16 Whelen All-American Series features and the 1990 Wall track championship before going on to compete with the ROC series. Beers, of Easthampton, Pa., won the June 9th round at Lehighton, Pa.'s Valley Speedway. Paules, of Kunkletown, Pa., is the reigning ROC champ although he did not enter May 26th's event.

Results of Sunday's round at Perry, N.Y.'s Wyoming Conty Int'l. Speedway had Rusty Smith as the most recent ROC Series winner. The June 2nd round at Chemung (N.Y.) Speedrome was postponed by rain.

Former and current WTS stars Frankie Schneider, Jim Delaney, Tony Siscone, John Blewett III, Tony Hirschman, and Lenny Boyd have won the ROC 200. The late Richie Evans and former NASCAR Nextel Cup driver Jimmy Spencer have also won Wall modified mains on their way to ROC 200 glory.

Wall's RMP Modified Affordable Division, INEX Legends Cars, Value Towing Factory Stock and Street Stock divisions are to support the ROC card.

The Whelen All-American Series Modifieds, who are to reappear for the Larsen Brothers Memorial 75-Lap Race Saturday, June 30, and Sportsman, are taking the night off on June 23rd.

Wall Township Speedway hosts the NASCAR Whelen All American Series every Saturday Night from April to October. Gates open at 4PM, with qualifying starting at 6:30 PM.

Wall Township Speedway is located on Rt 34 in Wall Township, NJ. Easily accessible from the Garden State Parkway, or Interstate 195/Rt 138. Visit the track website at www.wallspeedway.com, or call the track office at 732-681-6400 Tuesday through Saturday between 9AM and 5PM for more info.


OKERSON, McCARTHY, LANE WALL LANDMARKERS SATURDAY
Six More Drivers Also Prevail in Features Only Night
By Walter Elliott

WALL TWP., N.J. -- Chas Okerson, of Freehold, Ed McCarthy, of
Brick, and Ronald Lane, of Howell, earned their first landmark mains
at Wall Township Speedway Saturday.
Kevin Flockhart, of Jackson, Robert Geibel, Jr., of Brick, Danny Bohn,
of Freehold, Bill Vanderveen, of Beachwood, Luke Marzano, of
Towaco, and Vern McLaughlin III, of Whitehouse Station, also won
their respective headliners on Features Only Night.
Okerson won his first career Wall NASCAR Whelen All-American Series
Modified main by leading all 40 laps of the makeup main. The McCurdy
Well Drilling No. 99 Troyer-Chevrolet driver went straight to his
ScottKar-Chevy sportsman -- and won that divisional 25 lapper.
The reigning seven-time sportsman champion is in his first full Wall
WAAS Modified season.
McCarthy used his pole position to laed all 25 laps of his first street
stock feature victory. The No. 85 McCarthy Marine Chevy Monte
Carlo driver has been racing for four years.

his career first Value Towing Factory Stock feature. WTS Operations
Manager Jim Morton was among the winners' congratulating family,
crew and competitors in victory lane.

postponed by rain June 9. The six other features ran without heat
races to accommodate the additions.
Flockhart and his Crestwood Jewelers/Boardwick Racing Engines No.

Okerson and most of their 16 colleagues are preparing for Saturday's
Sunoco Race of Champions Asphalt Modified Tour round here.
Reigning street stock titlist Vanderveen won his first feature of the
season before McLaughlin captured the Value Towing Factory Stock
makeup up race.
Geibel waited a full week to complete - and win - the 20-lap RMP
Modified Affordable Division feature. Reigning titlist Bohn won the
scheduled 25-lap edition. Marzano meanwhile won his second
career INEX Legends Cars feature.
The ROC Tour takes to the banked, paved one-third mile oval
6 p.m. Saturday. The RMP MAD, INEX Legends, Value Towing
Factory Stock and street stock divisions are also set while the
WAAS Modified and sportsman calsses take a week's break.

Brothers Memorial Race. The street stocks yield to their
sportsman, RMP MAD, INEX Legends and Value Towing
Factory Stock colleagues.
Thev street stocks return July 7 for the 50-Lap, $10K

and sportsmen complete the bill.

ROSLIN, WOHL AND RAIN WALL SATURDAY VICTORS
Make Up Mains for Four Classes Set for June 16

WALL TWP., N.J. -- Bruse Roslin, of Tuckerton, and Elliott Wohl, of
Freehold, won their respective Wall Township Speedway features
before light rain washed away the remaining Whelen Engineering
Night program Saturday.
Roslin captured his first career INEX Legends Cars feature by holding
back Mike Stull and Don Nuels all 25 laps. The Calabreeze Pools No. 04
600 Racing/Yamaha driver had split the eight-lap heats with Stull
earlier that night.
"It was intense as it looked," said the Roslin Racing team leader. "I've
had some bad luck here in four years of racing. I think this' the first time
each one of a three-car team has won here." (Son Dan and Dennis Macri
had won earlier features.)
Wohl won his first sportsman main of the year by repelling seven-time
class king Chas Okerson by .701 sec. after 25 laps. The Dependabilitees
Wohl-Chevrolet No. 14 driver, Okerson and their 11 colleagues all finished
despite a three-week layoff.
A heavy mist at the start of the RMP Modified Affordable Division feature
became a light rain after a lap two restart, forcing WTS officials to
postpone the remaining program. The MAD, NASCAR Whelen All-American Series
modified, Value Towing Factory Stock and street stock divisions are to run
their features at 6 p.m. June 16 before that scheduled program.
The Wall Sunday Series round is still set for noon tomorrow. The Four

Gardella Wins Wall Legends 40-lap Feature,
Teenage Legends Double Feature June 10

By Walter Elliott

WALL TWP., N.J. -- Bryan Gardella, of Brick, successfully defended his 40-lap INEX Legends Cars
feature race crown at Wall Township Speedway Saturday night while Friday night rain put off the
first points-paying teenage Legends feature to June 10.
Gardella came from third starting spot to catch polesitter Ryan Flores by lap seven. The
ServiceMaster No. 14 NJ 600 racing-Yamaha driver stayed on Flores' rear bumper through two more
cautions until track officials noticed that Flores bumper was working loose on lap 28.
WTS Chief Starter Floyd Goff pointed the black flag at Flores until the leader heded the call and
pitted on lap 33. Gardella was left to fend off Dan Roslin by .155 sec the last seven laps to win his
second straight extra-distance annual.
Gardella, who is driving selected races this season, apologized to Flores over the WTS public address
system for his part in the rear bumper black flag.
"There's less pressure than in running for points and I'm enjoying my racing more," said the 2005
class titlist. "I feel bad about hitting Ryan's rear bumper a couple of times."
Gardella's victory and the feature finish, however, remains unofficial as of presstime. A technical
protest filed against the first finisher has yet to be resolved.
Flores' disqualification spoiled whatb had been a storybook homecoming for the Garden State
Quarter Midget Racing Club graduate. The former Jackson resident, aboard Kevin Yeatts' spare car,
was making his first appearnce since moving to Mooresville, N.C. to work in NASCAR Nextel Cup car
owner Jack Roush's headquarters. Yeatts, who also moved from suburban Richmond, Va. to join
Roush, brought his two cars with him on their weekend assignment at nearby Dover (Del.)
International Speedway.
Flores first topped the 28-car time trial charts with a 14.785 sec. mark on the banked, paved one-
third-mile oval. The renumbered No. X15 pilot set a torrid pace despite two multicar crashes within
the race's first seven laps.
The first mishap involved May 26 feature winner Steve Stull, who pitted for repairs. The defending
divisional titlist mustered three laps before paking in the infield. A second caution was shown on lap
seven after Mike Alcaro, Mike Stull and Dennis Macri collided.
Goff had to display the yellow flag again after an oil from Malcom Campbell, Jr.'s car coated the
driving line on lap 13. Campbell left the track but Bruce Roslin and race rookie Rob DiDorena collided
on the frontstretch. DiDorena, aboard the former Whitey Kowalczyk No. 22, was one of eight
drivers who entered the special event.
Flores and Gardella continued their duel after the lengthly delay.
Yeatts salvaged third place ahead of Value Towing Factory Stock graduate Mark Tischler and former
NASCAR Whelen All-American Series modified driver Don Nuels. Tischler and Nuels won their
respective eight-lap consolation races; the qualifiers set the 14 remaining feature places behind the
fastest 12 cars.
Debutant Roger Coss, of Lafayette, N.J., placed sixth among 19 finishers. WKA national karter Mike
Lester, of Lawrenceville, and ATQMRA track titlist Mike Tidaback, of Little Falls, also debuted. Former
street stocker Eric Gerchak, of Parlin, ran a Roslin team car and RTS Performance chief John Hugate,
of Ewing, ran one of his own cars.
While Saturday's Legends Cars avoided scattered rain showers, a thunderstorm struck the
speedway just after the Junior Champ Kart feature was run Friday night. The rain prompted WTS
officials to add what would have been the first points-paying Legends Cars feature for teenage
drivers to the Wall Sunday Series June 10 program. Derek Hopkinson, of Toms River, and Joe Mattis,
of Flemington, had won their respective 10-lap heats.
The make-up main is to kick off the June 10 program at noon with regularly scheduled heats and a
feature to follow later. Drivers 14-to-17-years-old, thanks to the state Motor Vehicle Commission
lowering the class' minimum age over the winter, are to compete on the remaining 14 Wall Sunday
Series dates.
The Four-Cylinder Supermodifieds are to also make their debut on Wall's one-fifth-mile inner oval
June 10. INEX Bandoleros and seven kart and kart-based classes are to complete the program.
The Saturday Legends drivers return to their eight-lap heat and 25-lap feature format Saturday.

SATURDAY RESULTS:
Time Trial Fastest: Ryan Flores, 14.784 sec.
Consolation Winners (8 laps): Don Neuls, Mark Tischler.
UNOFFICIAL 40-LAP FEATURE (Running unless otherwise noted): BRYAN GARDELLA, BRICK; Dan
Roslin, Kevin Yeatts, Mark Tischler, Don Neuls, Roger Coss, Ron Poley, Bob Baltera, Eric Gerchak,
Franci Cottrell, John Hugate, Mike Fulton, Mike Tidaback, Rudy Rinderer, Mike Lester, Tom
Catanzaro, Mike Kennedy, Luke Marzano (lap 32 - mechanical), Ryan Flores (lap 29 - rear bumper),
Matt Maring, Beth MacFarlane; (DNF) Bruce Roslin and Rob DiDorena (lap 13 - collision), Malcolm
Campbell, Jr. (lap 13 - oil leak), Dennis Macri, Mike Stull and Mike Alcaro (lap 7 - collision), Steve Stull
(lap 3 - mechanical).


Wall Twp. Spdwy: Payne Paces ATQMRA Field
By Walter Elliott

WALL TWP., N.J. -- Joey Payne, of Fair Lawn, N.J., won what he said was the seventh of his last
nine Keenan Motors American Three Quarter Midget Racing Association features here at Wall
Township Speedway Saturday night.
"Joey the Jet" got the drop on second row mate Chris Deritis at the start and went on to lead all
25 laps. The No. 26 Spitfire-Suzuki GSXR pilot held a 1.445 sec. victory margin of Deritis and current
Keenan Motors ATQMRA points leader Bob Watkins, Jr.
Payne thanked car owner Colin Martin and those who prepared the No. 26 while in WTS victory
lane. The sprint, midget and supermodified star, however, addeed that he is not going after the
drivers point championship. Payne entered Wall at 19th place - 88 points to Watkins' 328 - after five
ATQMRA races run so far.
"I'm running for win and not points," said Payne. "With my NorthEast Midget Assn. schedule, I try
to make as many of the ATQMRA races as I can. Colin, the crew and Spitfire prepare this car so well
that all I do is to get in and drive."
Although Payne's Spitfire basked in the spotlight, Deritis drove the No. 35 Dart-GSXR to second
place. Watkins - who kept his distance from a fourth place battle among Ryan Tidman, Matt Janisch
and John Blewett III - also had news from victory lane.
"It's nice to lead the points now, but I want to be leading at season's end," said Watkins after
leaving his No. 91 Lindblad-GSXR to shake Payne and Deritis' hands. "I'm going to win one of these
races soon. I hope so because this is my last full-time season."
Blewett took a Deritis sister No. 66 DART-GSXR from 13th place on the last row to finish sixth. The
defending Wall NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Modified Champion and Modified Tour star said
his other TQ start was in a wintertime Atlantic City indoor Gamblers Classic.
"The No. 66 crew came over and asked if I can drive their car," said Blewett. "It's fun running a
TQ. I'll drive one again if another opportunity comes."
Blewett becomes the 34th different driver in ATQMRA competition so far this season. Robbie
Pecorari, of Aston, Pa., drives the No. 66 whenever hos IRL Indy Pro Series schedule allows.
Neil Blatt had held fourth place before a technical problem encroached on lap 23. He took the
checkered flag in 10th place before his No. 09 stalled on the backstretch. Robin Johnston, who has
his Eric Duchak Engines homebuilt-GSXR No. 13 for sale, dropped out on lap 13.
ATQMRA and Wall officials agreed to run a 25-lap feature instead of two eight-lap heats and a 20-
lap feature Saturday. Defending ATQMRA champion Don Adams was named to Mike Moroney's No.
55 car but the current club treasurer did not take its steering wheel.
The ATQMRA is to return to Wall's banked paved one-third-mile oval July 7. The TQs are to
meanwhile revisit Mountain Speedway, St. Johns, Pa., June 9 and 23.

FEATURE FINISH (25 laps): JOEY PAYNE, FAIR LAWN, N.J.; Chris Deritis, Bob Watkins, Jr., Ryan
Tidman, Matt Janisch, John Blewett III, Bruce Leote, Tim Behmer, Frank Fischer, Neil Blatt, Art
Lawshe, Jr., Howard Boss; (DNF) Robin Johnston; (DNS) Don Adams.

TQ TIDBITS: Robbie Pecorari is riding the roillercoaster that the IRL Indy Pro Series can sometimes
be. Pecorari had to park his Cabo Wabo Tequila Infiniti-Dallara 16 laps into the Milwaukee Mile Road
Runner 100 with handling problems 16 laps into the race. He came from 22nd startng spot to finish
11th in the May 25 Freedom 100 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Pecorari is to try to halt Alex
Lloyd's five race win streak in the June 15-16 Liberty Challenge double features on the IMS USGP F1
road course.


FULLTIME FLOCKHART, PART-TIMERS GARDELLA, PAYNE WTS WINNERS
DiGiantomasso, Sutphin, Constandi Complete Saturday's Victory Lane
By Walter Elliott

WALL TWP., N.J. -- Kevin Flockhart, of Jackson, N.J., outlasted Dave
Cranmer to win his second NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Modified
main this season at Wall Township Speedway Saturday night.
Byran Gardella, of Brick, and Joey Payne, of Fair Lawn, captured their
respective INEX Legends Cars and Keenan Motors American Three
Quarter Midget Racing Association features. Charlie DiGiantomasso,
of Jackson, and Robert Sutphin, of Brick, won their first street stock
and RMP Modified Affordable Division features. Joe Constandi, of
Flemington, won his second Value Towing Factory Stock feature.
Flockhart came from sixth starting spot to catch polesitter Cranmer
within their feature's first 18 laps. The Crestwood Jewelers/
Boardwick Racing Engines No. 12 Sisco-Chevrolet driver ousted
Cranmer nine laps later and put a .930 sec. victory margin on
Jimmy Blewett after 40 laps.
"The long cautions cooled my tires," said Flockhart of his 10th
career Wall WAAS modified victory. "I'm sorry about what
happened with Jason Treat - I thought I had more room."
Flockhart was referring to his lap 17 contact with Treat that
sent the latter spinning to ninth place. Cranmer, still seeking
his first career victory, faded to seventh.
Three accidents sidelined heat winners Michael Bohn and
Tommy Farrell, defending track champion John Blewett III
and three other drivers by lap three. Jimmy Blewett, Steve
Reed, Alan Creveling and Justin Gumley rounded out the top
six of 11 finishers. Ji. Blewett and Gumley won May 26's twin
35-lap features.
Gardella successfully defended his 40-lap Legends Cars race
crown by repelling Dan Roslin by .155 sec. the last seven laps.
The 2005 class champ has been entering his ServiceMaster 600
Racing/Yamaha No. 14NJ in selected races this year.
Gardella, Roslin and 17 other finisher's placings remain unofficial
as of deadline pending a protest. Defending class champ and
May 26 feature winner Steve Stull was the first of eight
nonfinishers.
Gardella apologized for running into poleman Ryan Flores' rear
bumper. Race officials black flagged Flores' No. X15 for the
dangling bumper on lap 29. Flores, who moved from Sea Girt
to work at NASCAR Nextel Cup car owner Jack Roush's
Mooresville, N.C., headquarters, set a 14.784 sec. mark on the
banked, paved one-third-mile oval in time trials.
Payne, whose full midget schedule keeps him from making
all ATQMRA races, won the seventh of his last nine WTS

JOHN BLEWETT III TO RUN ONE OF WALL'S MAY 26 TWIN 35s.
By Walter Elliott

WALL TWP., N.J. -- Wall Township Speedway officials said that
defending NASCAR Whelen All-American Series Modified track
champion John Blewett III will be able to run the second of
two Twin 35-lap features Saturday.
WTS Operations Manager Jim Morton and Pit Steward Mike
Ostrander said Blewett, of Howell, is in the midst of serving
a two-race suspension that is to end after the first Twin 35
has been run. The current NASCAR Wall Modified points
leader was disqualified from the May 12 feature results and
is to also pay a $500 fine as a donation to the Adam and Kyle
Petty Victory Junction Gang Camp.
Blewett's suspension was handed down Tuesday for his
actions during one of that May 12 main's caution periods.
The third-generation driver had turned his car around and
drove it onto the left front wheel of Chas Okerson's car.
The incident broke Okerson's steering.
Blewett, when released, can defend his winning one
35-lap feature. He and 2005 NASCAR WAAS champ Dave
Michel split last year's Memorial Day headliners.
Blewett, Michel, Okerson, May 12 feature winner Mike
Carpenter and Jimmy Blewett are among the Twin 35
entrants. They are to be supported by the RMP

ARE YOU READY FOR THE THUNDER? WHELEN MODIFIED TOUR RETURNS TO NEW JERSEY
WALL TOWNSHIP SPEEDWAY PRESENTS "THE THUNDER AT THE SHORE" WEEKEND
SATURDAY MAY 5TH, AND SUNDAY MAY 6TH


Wall Township Speedway in Wall Township, N.J. is proud to present the first "Thunder At The Shore" weekend, Saturday May 5th, and Sunday May 6th.

Saturday night, May 5th, starting at 6PM will be Wall's regular Whelen All American Series divisions, WTS Modifieds, RMP MAD Division in 2 features, the rained out race from April 28th, and the regular scheduled feature. The Value Towing Factory Stocks in a 40 lap feature, and the WTS Sportsman, and INEX Legend division.

Then, on Sunday, May 6th, Wall Township Speedway proudly welcomes back the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour, and will hosting the first ever NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour "Flash Race". The Whelen All American Series Street Stocks and the ATQMRA TQ Midgets will also be competing.

This will be the first ever "Flash Race" format held, which consists of two 50 lap heat races for the Whelen Modified Tour (WMT) modifieds and a 50 lap feature for the Tour mods. The drivers will draw for their qualifying race starting positions, and then compete for one of the 31 starting spots (26 from heats, 5 provisionals).

We had the chance to speak with Jamie Tomaino, driver this Sunday of the Woody's Tavern 99, who has competed at every WMT event since the series started in 1985, and started his career at Wall in 1974. Also, the most recent WMT winner, Donny Lia, who won Sunday,April 29th at Stafford's "Spring Sizzler", in Connecticut, driving for the legendary Bob Gabarino in the Mystic River Marina 4. Thanks to Jamie and Donny for taking time from their busy schedules to give us a few comments on this weekend's race..

Jamie Tomaino's comments:  Wall Township Speedway: Jamie, you have 28 wins at Wall in tour type mods, what is your most memorable win at Wall?

Jamie Tomaino: "I would have to say winning Turkey Derby, 1981, in Howard Harvey's 09. It was a wild day. I was in the heat when Vinnie Green had his horrific flip on the backstraight. I made a move to avoid Vinnie's 44 car while it was still flipping in the air, and his engine landed on my car! So then I had to run the Consi and just got past Reggie Ruggiero in Mario Fiore's 44 at the finish line to qualify. Then, I started almost last, and got in a skirmish with Mark Engle and Tony Hirschman, and got a lap down. When we restarted I was second in line, a lap down to leader Richie Evans, and John Blewett Jr was in 2nd, but behind me. Richie got a flat, I got my lap back and was able to come back through the whole field and pass John Jr. for the lead with a few laps to go, and win the Turkey Derby."

WTS: What are your hopes for the May 6th race at Wall?

Jamie: "I just hope for a clean race and a top 5, I would love to do well for all the fans at Wall who have supported me for so many years."

WTS: Who will be your main competition for the win?

Jamie: "Who else, the Blewett Brothers, they are awesome at Wall. There are a few others who will be strong, but the Blewett's will be tough to beat."

WTS: What do you think about the new "Flash Race" format?

Jamie: "I think it could be a good thing for the fans, I just wish NASCAR had spoken to the teams more before letting us know that's the direction they were heading."

Donny Lia's comments:

WTS: You have run Wall a few times in the Turkey Derby, whats your best finish?

Donny Lia: "I finished 2nd to John Blewett III in 2004, I like Wall alot, it's a cool track."

WTS: What are your hopes for the May 6th race at Wall?

Donny: "I feel we will unload with a competitive car right off the truck. I think I have a good feel for Wall. Hoosier has a new right rear tire we have been running and I think it will help the lap times and make for more side by side racing at Wall."

WTS: Who will be your main competition for the win?

Donny: " Jimmy and John Blewett"

WTS: What do you think about the new "Flash Race" format?

Donny: " I wish there were more laps of racing, but we'll see how it goes."

Wall Township Speedway's "The Thunder At the Shore" starts Saturday, May 5th. Gates open at 4PM, first race at 6PM.
Sunday May 6th. Pit gates open at 8AM, first race at 11:30 AM. WMT first heat scheduled to start at 1PM.

The top drivers from the Whelen Modified Tour will be competing in 2 - 50 lap heat races, and a 50 lap feature in front of thousands of loyal fans. Drivers will have a blind draw for starting positions in the qualifying races, and then run the same tires in the feature, so tire management will be at a premium.

Come see 9 Time NASCAR® Champ Mike Stefanik, John Blewett III, Jimmy Blewett, Reggie Ruggiero, Jamie Tomaino, Eric Beers, Ed Flemke Jr., Jerry Marquis, and current WMT point leader James Civali, along with many others.

Also running will be the Wall Township Speedway Whelen All American Series Street Stock division and the ATQMRA Three Quarter Midgets.

Wall Township Speedway will also run their regular Saturday night show on May 5th, and will be offering an Adult combination ticket only $35 dollars for both Saturday night and Sunday afternoon events, May 5th and 6th.

We hope you will join us for "The Thunder at The Shore" weekend, May 5th and 6th, and share a moment in history with us!

Gates open 4PM Saturday May 5th with qualifying beginning at 6PM.
Sunday, May 6th, Pits open at 8am, Spectator gates open at 10am, with qualifying starting at 11:30 am.

A full entry list will be posted early next week for the WMT event.

Located on Rt 34 in Wall, N.J. Wall Township Speedway hosts The NASCAR® Whelen All American Series every Saturday night from April to October. "Come Feel The Thunder!"
