Kids Can Win Big Prizes
in Wall's Turkey Derby Coloring Contest
With the entire family an important part of
all the professional auto racing action at Wall Stadium, it is
only fitting that the third mile paved oval will be directly
including children aged 12 and younger during the upcoming
Turkey Derby weekend. In fact, the kids can win some great
prizes by participating in the first annual “Turkey Derby
Coloring Contest!”
Kids up to age 12 can simply go to the speedway website at
www.wallspeedway.com
and print out a picture of the racing turkey. Kids can then
color the picture and submit it to the speedway office on or
before November 22. Pictures can be dropped at the track office
on any business day or mailed to Wall Stadium, 1803 Highway 34
South, Wall, N.J. 07719 Attn: Coloring Contest. The pictures
will be displayed in the grandstand area during Turkey Derby
weekend and five winners will be announced on Saturday, November
28. Fifth place will win a Turkey Derby shirt, while fourth
place will win an Ace Lane Photo autographed by a driver of the
young fan’s choice. Third place will earn a “Family Four Pack”
of tickets for Opening Night 2010, while the runner-up will ride
off on a new bicycle.
The Grand Prize winner will have a busy summer in 2010 as he or
she will win a Child’s Season Pass for the entire 2010 season.
Further details about the coloring contest can be obtained by
calling the speedway office at 732-681-6400.
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. In addition, the beautifully
restored cars of the Garden State Vintage Stock Car Club will be
on display in the grandstand area and will take laps around the
speedway.
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
entry forms are available by calling 732-681-6400 and at
