STREET STOCKS HEADLINE JULY 4 AUTO RACING WITH

“BT MEMORIAL 50” LAPPER AT WALL STADIUM

WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J. ~ The fireworks will be on the speedway at Wall Stadium this Saturday night, July 4, as five divisions of stock cars battle in Able Ford Subaru Racing Series action. Heading the card will be the always thrilling Street Stock racers in the 50-lap “BT Memorial” championship race. Also on the Saturday night agenda will be the Red Bank Sleep Shoppe Modifieds, the Calabreeze Pools Sportsman cars, the INEX Legend Cars and the Flanagan Retail Development Factory Stocks.

Main event action is slated for 7:30 p.m. sharp, with qualifying action set for 6:00 p.m.

The “BT Memorial 50” event is run in the honor of long-time Wall Stadium supporter Bobby Thomas who passed away last year. Thomas served on the pit crews of many Wall Stadium race teams, was instrumental in the famous International Race of Champions and, most importantly, was there to help anyone who needed it in the pit area. Thomas family members are expected to be at the track Saturday for the race and Bobby’s son, Carl Thomas, will be in the field for the 50-lap grind.

Almost every driver on the Street Stock roster has made it clear that this is a race that he or she wants to win. 2009 feature winners Carl Thomas, Bill Vanderveen of Beachwood, Howie Conk of Jackson and Jerry Stanzione of Keansburg will be favorites for the win, as will standouts Dave Jennings of Howell, Elliott Wohl of Freehold, Nick Gargiulo of Howell and Ralph Gargiulo of Brick. Time trials will set the field for the 50-lapper.

The Modified stock cars are slated for a 40-lap main event, while the Sportsman cars and the Legend Cars are each scheduled to go 25-laps in their feature race. The Factory Stocks are set for a 20-lapper. Heat races are planned for the four divisions.

Plans call for the competitor pit area to open at noon on Saturday (July 4), with a paid practice session running from 1:00 until 3:00 p.m. Regular practice will start shortly after 3:00 p.m., while spectator seating opens at 4:00 p.m. Qualifying is set for 6:00 p.m. and the first main event will get the green flag at 7:30 p.m. sharp.
