Roslin, Hopkinson Repeat Wall Legends Winners
by Walter Elliott

WALL TWP., N.J. -- Daniel Roslin, of Little Egg Harbor Twp., and Derek Hopkinson, of Toms River, were respective Saturday and Sunday Wall Township Speedway Legends Cars winners.

Roslin added another WTS INEX Legends Cars feature victory to his total during Scott Motor Coach Sales Fan Appreciation Night. The Calabreeze Pools No. 03 driver came from 15th place among 24 starters to win the 25 lap divisional headliner. Roslin began advancing while local Legends Cars/Bandolero dealer John Hugate took initial control. Hugate, who owns and operates RTS Performance from Ewing, held off Francis Cottrell despite Bruce Roslin, Steve Stull and Mike Alcaro having problems by lap five.

Cottrell took command from Hugate, who would fade to 12th place at the finish, by lap 10. Whitey Kowalczyk and Value Towing Factory Stock vet Dan Collamer - in for Robert Geibel - challenged before they either spun or encountered mechanical woes.

Daniel Roslin ousted Cottrell on a lap 13 single file restart and went on to a .364 sec. victory. Mike Stull held off former White Lake (N.Y.) Speedway regular Todd McCollum for third. Former class champion Bryan Gardella and Mark Tischler rounded out the top six of 18 finishers.

Former Value Towing Factory Stock winner Tischler was driving his ex-Stull Racing blue No. 0 to sixth; Matt Marring, who usually drives the No. 02, was driving the Alcaro-owned green No. 0. Tischler started driving the green 0 before obtaining the blue 0 which he recently won a feature with. WTS officials are asking one or the other team to change numbers before Sept. 22's USG Sheetrock Night.

Alcaro and Robert Geibel split the 10-lap heats -- but had their night turn for the worst. Alcaro, who had a running order disagreement with track officials on lap 19, was sent to the pits and was placed 21st. Geibel's Kickin Motorsports team then called in Collamer to be substitute driver in the No. 15 -- who finished 17th. Calabreeze Pools team patriarch Bruce Roslin, one of six non-finishers, was placed 24th and last. Results printouts had the race run all 25 laps although the scoring tower counted 24 when the checkered and yellow flags were shown.

Hopkinson meanwhile picked up his second straight Wall Sunday Series Calabreeze Pools Legends victory Sunday afternoon. The N&P Racing No. 17 600 Racing-Yamaha driver came from sixth starting spot to chase down polewoman Danielle Ostrander within their feature's first two laps. Hopkinson passed Ostrander on lap four and would not be headed the remaining 16 laps on the one-fifth-mile inner oval. He had to endure eight restarts and pressure from Ryan Truex, Jr., however, before he could clinch the victory. Karl Hiesler and Joe Mattis rounded out the top five of eight finishers. Ostrander, who won the 10-lap heat, salvaged sixth. Jason Forrester and WSS Debutant John Gloor IV were the two non-finishers. Tyler Papps, in his second start, was black flagged on the 19th lap after six spins and was placed seventh.

The INEX Legends cars return to the banked paved one-third-mile oval Saturday; The WSS resumes Noon Sept. 30.
