Legend Cars 40-Lapper Headlines Wall Stadium This Saturday (8/28)

Although five stock car divisions will be racing at Wall Stadium this Saturday night (August 28), the popular INEX Legend Cars will be in the spotlight in an extra-distance 40-lap main event. In addition, the Modifieds will also compete in a 40-laps of main event action, while the Sportsman cars and Street Stocks race in 25-lap feature events and the Factory Stocks race in a 20-lapper. Spectator seating will open at 4:00 p.m., with qualifying set for 6:30 p.m. and main event racing scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

Among the drivers to watch in this championship race for the Legend Cars will be 8-time winner and current point leader Trevor Alspach of Willingboro. Alspach will see plenty of competition as front-runners Brian Spencer of Edison, Ron Poley of Egg Harbor Township, Mark Tischler of Martinsville and Eatontown’s Malcolm Campbell will be among the racers in action.

Although defending Supreme Manufacturing Modified champion Chas Okerson of Freehold, who is also a multi-time Pro Stock champion at the stadium, is currently at the top of his game, he will have plenty of competition in his quest for Modified glory and a second straight crown. Neptune’s Tommy Farrell, Shaun Carrig of Little Falls, Roger Coss of Lafayette, David Reinhardt of Neptune City and Tim Arre of Toms River are just a few of the area’s standout Modified drivers expected to go for the win and the season-long driving title.

The speedway’s Sportsman division is also creating a lot of interest. While 2009 champion Kevin Eyres of Colts Neck will lead the field in Saturday’s 25-lapper, standouts Robert Sutphin of Brick, Charlie Kremer III of Toms River, Kevin Davison of Howell and 2009 “Rookie of the Year” Andrew Krause of Holmdel will be among those offering plenty of competition.

The current schedule for the August 28 card will see the competitor pit area open at 1:00 p.m., with a paid testing session for competitors then running from 1:30 until 3:30 p.m. The regular afternoon practice session will then begin at 3:30 p.m., while spectator seating will open at 4:00 p.m. Qualifying will start at 6:30 p.m. before main events roll out onto the track at 7:30 p.m. sharp.

While the Sunday Series will have this weekend off, the speedway will be open as it hosts the annual Car Show all day on Sunday, August 29.
