Late Models Headline Turkey Derby Friday Nov. 27
After proving to be very popular during
their 100-lap championship event here earlier this season, Wall
Stadium promoter Jim Morton has announced that the Late Model
Stock cars will headline day one action during the annual Turkey
Derby at the shore speedway. The Late Models are set to race in
a 50-lap main event on Friday, November 27, during the paved
track’s first day of the two-day Turkey Derby festivities.
When the Late Models first appeared at Wall back on June 27, New
Jersey favorite Jim Wismer took down a popular 100-lap victory
over Mike Coll, Dave Macomber, Kevin Metzger and Mike Sweeney.
“Ever since we featured the Late Models back in June we have
been getting requests to bring them back,” Morton said. “Since
the Turkey Derby is in late November and no other track is
operating then, it makes for the perfect opportunity. Judging by
conversations that we’ve had with Late Model competitors, it
looks like we could draw a pretty big field of Late Models on
November 27.”
The annual Turkey Derby is a two-day speedfest featuring tour
type Modified, Red Bank Sleep Shoppe Modified, Calabreeze Pools
Sportsman, Street Stock, INEX Legend Car, Flanagan Retail
Development Factory Stock and now Late Model cars in racing
action. The traditional northeast season closing event is always
held during the daylight hours on Friday and Saturday of
Thanksgiving weekend.
Wall Stadium 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 office is open from 10:00
a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Information and
Modified entry forms are available by calling 732-681-6400 and
