JIMMY BLEWETT IS TOPS IN SATURDAY’S (MAY 9)

WALL STADIUM TOUR TYPE MODIFIED 100-LAPPER

WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J. ~ Jimmy Blewett of Howell is as hot as a firecracker at Wall Stadium. His most recent streak started last November when he won the tour type Modified stock car portion of the annual Turkey Derby. His good fortune continued on April 18 when he topped the Grand Reopening 100-lap main event for the Modified stock cars. On Saturday night (May 9) Blewett’s good fortune continued as he drew the number one starting spot in a blind draw and went on to win the Race of Champions Qualifier 100 running away.

“I guess there were some people here who wished I would have drawn last,” Blewett said in the winner’s circle. “But still, I’d rather be lucky than unlucky. I’m just glad to see a good crowd here again tonight and I hope you’ll all come back again.”

Blewett jumped right to the front at the first green flag with Tony Ferrante, Jr. of Franklin Square, N.Y. close behind. Ferrante tried the outside of Blewett on several occasions in the early going before settling into second and finishing the race in that spot. The big race for position was for third in the closing laps as Howell’s Ken Woolley, Jr. held off Flemington’s Andy Walko, who finished fourth, and the fifth place finishing Steven Reed of Howell.

In support division action Mark Tischler of Bridgewater held off Hamilton’s Steve Stull to win the 20-lapper for the Legend Cars, while Carl Thomas drove away from Ralph Gargiulo and Howie Conk to win the 25-lapper for the Street Stocks.

Charlie Kremer, III of Toms River fought off a handling problem late in the Calabreeze Pools Sportsman 25-lapper to take the win over Kevin Eyres of Colts Neck and Brick’s Robert Sutphin. Tom Fratesi of Flemington won the 20-lapper lapper for the Flanagan Retail Development Factory Stocks running away.

The next event on the Saturday night schedule is set for May 23 when the Red Bank Sleep Shoppe Modifieds compete in Twin 30-lap main events. Sportsman, Street Stock, Legend Cars, Factory Stock racers will also be on the card.
