Also on that agenda will be the Sportsman racers, Street Stocks, Legend Cars and the Factory Stocks. On April 3, spectator seating will open at 4:00 p.m., while qualifying will start at 5:15 p.m. and main events will start at 6:30 p.m.
In addition to auto racing events during the 2010 season, Promoter Jim Morton is currently working with various promoters in an effort to bring other “family friendly” shows and events to the Wall Township stadium this season. More details will be announced soon.
Wall Stadium is located on Route 34 in Wall Township, N.J., just one mile north of Garden State Parkway exit 98 and Interstate 195 exit 35B.
