WALL STADIUM AUTO RACERS AND FANS READY FOR SATURDAY’S (JULY 25) 2020 SEASON OPENER
WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J. ~ All six Wall Stadium Speedway stock car racing divisions will be in action when the third mile high banked paved oval opens the long awaited 2020 stock car racing season this Saturday night (July 25). Ticket sales and grandstand seating will open at 4:30 p.m. with qualifying slated for 5:30 p.m. and the first main event planned for 7:00 p.m. Pit gates will open at 1:00 p.m. on opening day with on track testing starting at 3:00 p.m.
Grandstand seating capacity will be limited due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and tickets will be sold on a first come/first serve basis starting at 4:30 p.m. Although season tickets are not being offered for the 2020 season, season ticket holders from 2019 will have a guaranteed opportunity to purchase opening night tickets. Ticket prices have not changed since last season.
The Modified division will lead the way in a 40-lap season-opening feature race, while the Sportsman cars, Limited Late Models, Factory Stocks, 4 Cylinder Stocks and the Legend Cars are all slated for 25-lap main events. Refreshment stands will be open during the evening and Dollar Dog Night will be celebrated.
Defending Modified champion Steven Reed of Jackson will be looking to get an early win in the 2020 campaign and was fast during a Saturday (July 18) practice session. Also among the large turnout of Modifieds turning laps at the practice session were Holmdel's Andrew Krause, Derek Hopkinson of Toms River, Jackson's Jason Treat and Marc Rogers and Dom Fattaruso, both of Brick. Farmingdale's Tommy Martino, Lanoka Harbor's Ron Frees, Kevin Davison of Howell and Ricky Collins of Willow Grove, Pa. were also among the Modified drivers turning fast laps around the third mile paved high banked oval Saturday.
In addition to Reed, Hazlet's Chris Silvestri (Limited Late Model), Elliott Wohl of Beachwood (Factory Stock) and Jackson's Kyle Scisco (Sportsman) plan on defending their titles. Last year's 4 Cylinder Stock title winner Neil Rutt III of Edison plans on concentrating on the Sportsman division this season.
