on their products. The NASCAR Whelen All American Series Modifieds, Street
Stocks, Sportsman, RMP Modified Affordable Division, INEX Legends, and Value
Towing Factory Stocks are all scheduled to compete starting at 6:30PM with
qualifying races. Regular prices will be in effect, only $17 dollars for
an adult, $6 dollars for kids ages 6 to 12, and children 5 and under are
always admitted free. Spectator gates open at 4PM.
Kevin Flockhart will be
looking to build more momentum in the Modified division after winning the
50th Annual Garden State Classic 100 last week for a large purse, and taking
home the bulk of $6,000 dollars in lap money, including the lap 66 $1,000
bonus in memory of the late Tom Comerford. Steven Reed, Chas Okerson, Tommy
Farrell III, and the other Mod Drivers will be fighting to keep Flockhart
from trying to win his fifth race of the 2007 season.
In the Street Stock Division,
it looks like Rich Mongeau and Ron Frees, both former division champs, are
trying to separate themselves from the rest of the field and decide the title
between themselves. But, defending champion Bill Vanderveen, John McCormack
and the other teams will not be willing to let them get away with many weeks
left to make up valuable Championship points.
Sportsman point leader
Kevin Eyres already has 5 wins this season, and has shown no signs of letting
up on the competition. Defending Wall Track Champion Chas Okerson, third
generation driver Charlie Kremer III, and Elliott Wohl are going to do their
best to knock him off the top of the heap this Saturday night.
RMP Modified Affordable
Division drivers will be trying to gain some ground on defending champ Danny
Bohn and Kevin Eyres, before they get to far out of reach in the battle for
that title. 4 time 2007 winner Robert Geibel and Kevin Davison are their
closest rivals for the crown.
The INEX Legend cars also
have a tight point battle going on with Mike Fulton and Ron Poley heading
the pack thus far. Danny Roslin, Stephen Stull, and Mark Tischler are their
closest competitors at this time of the season so far for the title of track
champ.
In the popular Value Towing
Factory Stocks, title contender Vern McLaughlin III will be looking for his
third consecutive win, and 5th of the season. Nick Shaw, Danny Collamer,
Richard Petey, and Joe Constandi will be trying their best to stop McLaughlin's
hot streak.
