Final Turkey Derby
Practice Set for this Saturday, Nov. 19
WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J. ~ Stock car racing
teams planning to compete in Turkey Derby XXXVIII at Wall
Stadium on Thanksgiving weekend have one final practice session
this Saturday (Nov. 19) from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. Although
it will be a paid session for competitors, the grandstands will
be open so that fans can witness the session free of charge.

indication, a large field of cars should be on hand to practice
on Saturday and to race in the season-ending classic on Friday
and Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend. Last Saturday, over 50
cars were on hand for the first Turkey Derby practice led by
former race winners Rowan Pennink of Huntington Valley, Pa. and
Jimmy Blewett of Howell.
