Three-Day Schedule
Announced for Turkey Derby
Wall Stadium promoter Jim Morton has
finalized the schedule for the 36th annual running of the
“Turkey Derby.” As has been the case since the outset, Turkey
Derby competition is always held during the daylight hours and
is presented on Friday and Saturday (Nov. 27 and 28) of
Thanksgiving weekend. This year, Sunday afternoon action has
been added featuring Enduro style racing.
Friday will be a busy first day of Turkey Derby with practice
being offered for all eight divisions that will see competition
on the weekend. Late Model stock cars will headline Friday’s
racing activities as they compete in a 75-lap feature event. The
INEX Legend Cars will compete in a 25-lapper and the Flanagan
Retail Development Factory Stocks will wrap up main event action
on Turkey Derby Day 1 in a 20-lap feature. Friday will also
feature qualifying for all three divisions plus qualifying for
the Calabreeze Pools Sportsman cars, the Street Stocks and the
Red Bank Sleep Shoppe Modifieds.
Saturday, November 28, will feature double Modified stock car
action with 100-lap main events for both the tour type Modified
stock cars and the Red Bank Sleep Shoppe Modified stock cars. In
addition, the Sportsman cars and the Street Stocks will each
compete in 25-lap main events while the A.T.Q.M.R.A. Three
Quarter Midgets will wrap up their season and crown a 2009
driving champion in a 25-lap feature race. In addition to the
main event action and practice for all divisions, both the tour
type Modifieds and the T.Q. Midgets will compete in qualifying
events on Saturday.
For the first time ever, late-November racing action will be
carried over to Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend as the shore
speedway presents another of it’s popular “$5 Family fun Days.”
Heading the Sunday card will be the popular NEETS Enduro Series
and that will be joined by the INEX Legend Cars and the 4C
SuperModifieds.
Morton also announced that the track will be open for paid
practice sessions on Saturdays November 14 and 21. The paid
practice sessions, which are being offered in preparation for
the Turkey Derby, will begin at 11:00 a.m. and run until 4:00
p.m. both days.
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 Turkey Derby
