WALL TWP., NJ -- Saturday,
September 29th was a night of firsts at Wall Township Speedway. Veteran Whelen
All-American Series Modified driver Tim Arre won his main event for the 23rd
time in his career and first of 2007 in what has been a rough year on the
Toms River chauffeur. Former Sportsman standout Rob Williams won his first
RMP Modified Affordable Division feature. Dave Green achieved his initial
Sportsman Feature win. Long time Wall driver and owner Ted Walters won the
first feature of his career in the Value Towing Factory Stocks, after post
race inspections disqualified original winner Joe Constandi and 2 others.
Defending champion Bill Vanderveen took his 2nd win of the season in the
Street Stocks. Mike Stull won his 2nd for the year in the INEX Legends Division,
but that was not enough to keep Mike Fulton from claiming the 2007 Wall Township
Speedway INEX Legends Track Championship in their double point event. The
Modifieds, Street Stocks, Sportsman, RMP Modified Affordable Division, and
Value Towing Factory Stocks are racing for double-points this week in the
Scott Motor Coach Sales Season Finale - Scout Night with Turkey Derby Qualifier
features. The INEX Legends will be racing for their Turkey Derby guaranteed
spot as well. Any Scouts dressed in their full uniform will be admitted to
the grandstands for $1 dollar! Gates open at 4pm with qualifying starting
at 6:30pm, Saturday.
In the NASCAR Whelen
All-American Series Modified division, Kevin Flockhart, of Jackson, and Steve
Reed, of Howell, have helped set the stage for their October 6th championship
points season finale by finishing second and third in their modified main
last Saturday night. While Tim Arre, of Toms River, won his first NASCAR
Whelen All- American Series mod main of the year, 2004 track champ Flockhart
cut into Reed's points lead by finishing 2nd. Reed was right behind in 3rd,
with Tommy Farrell III and Rich Lovelace completing the top 5.
Mike Stull, of Hamilton,
won the double-points INEX Legends feature Saturday but could not keep
Bridgewater's Mike Fulton from finishing fifth - and taking that division's
title. Fulton has the opportunity to represent WTS in 600 Racing's Asphalt
Nationals at Las Vegas Motor Speedway Oct. 10-12. Although track management
advanced the double points a week for the nationals, Saturday's non-points
Legends race still counts as their Nov. 23-24 Turkey Derby qualifier. Title
rivals Ron Poley and Dan Roslin, both of Little Egg Harbor Twp., finished
eighth and 10th among 15 runners. INEX dealer John Hugate, of Ewing, Don
Neuls, of Hamilton, and Mike Alcaro won their heats but ended up among the
seven nonfinishers.
Vern McLaughlin III, of
Whitehouse Station, has a chance to win the Value Towing Factory Stock crown
but still has to battle his teammate Richard Petey, Danny Collamer, and Nick
Shaw for that honor. McLaughlin dropped out four laps short of the VTFS 20-lap
feature and was placed 19th after post race inspections DQ'd 3 of the cars
that originally finished ahead of him.
David Green finally won
his career first sportsman main, holding off current points leader Kevin
Eyres, of Colts Neck, by .156 sec. after 25 laps. Green won his first career
sportsman main by .173 sec. over Eyres. Eyres, of Colts Neck, has seven
divisional victories and the points lead over six-time defending titlist
Chas Okerson, of Freehold, who came home 3rd. Charlie Kremer III, of Toms
River, who saw Green spin ahead of him to take the win in September 22nd's
feature, finished 4th, with Elliott Wohl 5th.
Rob Williams also held
off Eyres to win the RMP Modified Affordable Division main. Williams edged
Eyres by .156 sec. after 25 laps. Steve Voorhees took 3rd, Robert Sutphin
was 4th. Fifth place finisher Danny Bohn is the defending series champ. Eyres'
car owner Carl Thomas was the first of five DNF's.
Bill Vanderveen, of Beachwood,
won his second 2007 Street Stock 25 lap feature. Defending class champ Vanderveen
splits heats with Ray Minieri and beat Minieri by .571 sec. Ron Frees was
3rd, with multiple titlist Rich Mongeau, of Howell, 4th, and Dave Jennings
5th.
