1.
Carrig got the drop on
polesitter Jason Treat and eventual runner-up Mike Carpenter by. .407 sec.
to in his first Wall NASCAR Whelen All- American Series modified main of
the year. The Troyer-Chevrolet No. 91 pilot and former INEX Legends Cars
star ran second to Nelson Heating & Plumbing teammate Michael Bohn here
Aug. 4. Current WAAS points leader Kevin Flockhart took third over Bohn while
two accidents put out rival Steve Reed by lap 13. Scott Motor Coach Sales,
of Lakewood, N.J., supported the WTS Saturday program for the second time
this season. The Shining Star Shriners, of Westhampton, also paid their second
annual fundraising appearance. WTS Manager Jim Morton meanwhile reduced Saturday
admission prices to $14 per adult,children 13-17 and senior citizens 65 plus
to $10, children six-12 and active military I.D. holders to $6 for Aug. 18
and 25 plus Sept. 1. Two adults may qualify for the family package whereby
a child age 6-12 enters free.
Petey finally won his
first WTS Value Towing Factory Stock feature on the banked, paved one-third-mile
oval and at the technical inspection shed. The McLaughlin Motorsports/Absolute
Auto No. 6 Chevy Monte Carlo split the eight lap heats with Tom Fratesi and
came from 12th starting place to oust early leader Bob McIntyre. The enduro
legend was denied his first class triumph Aug. 4 after post-race scrutineers
found recapped racing treads on his otherwise stock tires.
VALUE TOWING Factory Stock
graduate Tischler won his first career Legends feature by leading all 25
laps over Daniel Roslin and Dennis J. Macri. Tischler bought an ex- Stull
Racing 600 Racing-Yamaha No. 0 three weeks ago.
Hallgring called the RMP
Modified Affordable Division feature for his second divisional career win
and first of the year. The BNR Woody's Roadside Tavern/Tymbalart.com No.
0 Troyer-Chevy pilot ousted Robert Geibel Jr. on a lap 22 restart and held
him off by.738 sec. the last three laps. Hallgring had dedicated the victory
beforehand to the late Kelly Shea; the daughter of Garden State Vintage Stock
Car Club officers Ray and Nancy Shea had suffered a fatal aneurysm earlier
in the week.
"Radiant Ray" Minieri
copped his first street stock feature of the year by taking the point from
Howie Conk, Jr. on lap three and repelling Ron Frees the remaining 22.
Eyres won his sixth sportsman
main of the season and, with his RMP MAD win, his seventh overall by 1.306
sec. over divisional king Chas Okerson. The Avis/Top Cuts Lawn Care Rondeau-Chevy
No. 21 driver received some controversy when he had tapped poleman Dave Green
into fifth place on lap 21. Jim Morton announced that the sportsman division
will return in 2008. The number of dates are to be determined, however, by
how many cars show.
