RUTT WINS WALL STADIUM SPORTSMAN RACE SATURDAY
WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J. ~ Third generation stock car driver Neil Rutt III of Edison raced through the pack to win the 25-lap Sportsman stock can feature race Saturday night at Wall Stadium Speedway. It was the first win of the 2020 season for last season's 4 Cylinder Stock Driving Champion.
After a third turn scramble on the initial start, Rob Anderton of Howell jumped to the early lead over former champ Kevin Eyres of Colts Neck and Rutt. A handful of cautions for minor incidents slowed the early going before Eyres took the lead near lap ten as Rutt followed him through for second. Rutt then shadowed Eyres until the 14th lap when Eyres drifted high in turn two and Rutt dove low to take the lead. Carsten DiGiantomasso of Jackson then took over second and haunted Rutt to the finish line. Eyres held on for third, with Jake Nelke of Manahawkin and Jackson's Jarret DiGiantomasso fourth and fifth.
“We have had a couple of tough races this season, but when you see how hard your car owner and crew members work you just keep digging,” Rutt said in the winner's circle. “You just never give up!”
Rutt also expressed get well wishes to fellow competitor Micheal Rising, who was injured in a non-racing accident in July.
Bryan O'Shea of Neptune City won his fourth main event of the year in the companion 25-lapper for the Factory Stock cars. Robert Stack of Manahawkin held his ground early in the test except for a few laps when Howell's Johnny Carpenter took the lead before Stack regained command.
O'Shea then took the lead near lap 20 and raced on to the win over the challenges of Mike Montano of Freeport, N.Y.. Billy Both of Rahway, Tom Rajkowski of Fords and Brick's Kevin Flores completed the top five.
Sal Liguori of Hazlet tracked down early leader and eventual runner-up Ian Ashford of Farmingdale to win the 4 Cylinder Stocks 25-lap feature race. Sean Vuksanic of Wall, Farmingdale's Doug Ashford and Ryan Maher of Neptune City were third through fifth.
Peter Bruno of Little Silver raced to his second straight win in the 25-lapper for the Legend Cars over early leader Mike Fulton of Raritan. Brick's Bryan Gardella, Eric Green of Red Bank and Joe Przybylinski of Fairfield wrapped up the top five.
Former champion Mike Tillett of Bayville grabbed the lead on lap four and drove home with his first win of the year in the Limited Late Model 25-lapper. Asbury Park's Buddy Miller, defending champ Chris Silvestri of Hazlet, Ricky Giannino of Patchogue, N.Y. and Stephen Puglisi of Toms River completed the top five.

COSS WINS WILD WALL STADIUM MODIFIED RACE SATURDAY
WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J. ~ Modified stock car racer Roger Coss admitted that, after the first lap of the 40-lap race Saturday night at Wall Stadium Speedway, if you told him he would end up the Modified feature winner he would not have believed you. The Lafayette based driver, who races here only as time allows, was making his first appearance of the season. Mechanical problems burdened his No. 17 during early evening practice and more problems developed during qualifying forcing him to start last in the 22-car field. Things then only got worse for Coss as he was involved in a first lap accident. Fortunately, he was able to continue.
After battling with Matawan's Anthony Sesely at the outset, Holmdel's Andrew Krause was the early leader until a fluid leak forced him to the pit area for the night. Kevin Davison of Howell, Brick's Eddie McCarthy and Ron Frees of Lanoka Harbor then wrestled for the lead through several cautions as Coss picked his way to the front..
A big turning point came on a lap 19 restart when McCarthy and Frees, who were fighting for the lead, tangled exiting turn four. The ensuing restart saw Davison and Coss fight for first before Coss was able to slip into the lead and then race on to the win. Davison was the runner-up, while Jackson's Jason Treat, Ricky Collins of Willow Grove, Pa. and Jason Hearne of New Egypt completed the top five.
“First off, I want to dedicate this win to my father,” Coss said in the winner's circle. “He has been with my racing since the start, but we lost him during the off season. I don't get to race as often as I'd like to now because I an a one man show in the race shop. The way things were going earlier this evening I never thought I could win tonight. You just have to keep pushing.”
When the first 18 laps of the Sportsman 25-lapper went off without a hitch, everyone thought a clean race was on the slate. But once the first caution flag waved many more followed. Robert Sutphin of Brick and Manahawkin's Jake Nelke were the top two in a big pack in the final laps before a big scramble ensued before Nelke crossed the finish line first.
The official order of finish then changed, however, when officials announced that, in their opinion, Nelke contributed to the race ending scramble and awarded the win to Sutphin. Neil Rutt III of Edison, Freehold's Tomas Stainionis, Jarret DiGiantomasso of Jackson and Howell's Eric Lane were second through fifth.
Wall's T.J. Graves took the lead just before the halfway point and raced on to win the 4 Cylinder Stock 25 lapper. Sal Liguori of Hazlet crossed the finish line second, while point leader Ryan Maher of Neptune City, William Cross of Hazlet and Sean Vuksanic of Wall wrapped up the top five.
Peter Bruno of Little Silver grabbed his first win of the year in the Legend Cars 25-lapper. Quinn Trimmer of Waldwick, Red Bank's Eric Green, Brick's Bryan Gardella and Joe Przybylinski of Fairfield completed the top five.
Jeff Kott took the win in the 25-lap race for the visiting Three Quarter Midgets over Geo Sutton, Ryan Tidman, Joey Bailey and Tim Proctor.
The 2020 Saturday night regular season continues this Saturday (Sept. 12) evening with the Sportsman cars, Factory Stocks, 4 Cylinder Stocks, Legend Cars and Limited Late Models all seeing action in “Carnival Night” main events.

KEVIN HIRTHLER WINS MODIFIED FEATURE, TOM MILLER TOPS IN SPORTSMAN AND RYAN LILICK TAKES FIRST PLACE IN MODIFIED HARD CHARGER CHALLENGE.
BECHTELSVILLE, PA. September 6, 2020 . . . Kevin Hirthler tallied up his third 30-lap T.P. Trailers Modified NASCAR Advance Auto Parts feature win of the season on Saturday night at Grandview Speedway when he passed his father-in-law Ray Swinehart on the 21st lap and was able to hold off ten time track champion Jeff Strunk and then runner-up Dillon Steuer for the win. Even though Hirthler has won features this year he has struggled with mechanical and other issues and he assured the fans in victory lane that he has not been “sandbagging” or wrecking just to get a better starting spot.
Tom Miller has been close on numerous occasions to win a 25-lap T.P. Truck Equipment NASCAR Sportsman feature, but was never able to find his way to the winner’s circle for one reason or another. He finally turned the tables around and held off the challenges of Kyle Smith for the last ten laps of the event for his first win of the year.
The 22-lap Hard Charger Challenge feature, a special event for racers who had not won a Modified feature race at Grandview before or were not in the top 15 spots in the Modified point standings was won by Ryan Lilick earning the young racer $1,022. The event was put together by former car owner and driver Joe “Geezer” Fanelli. In addition to the Joey Adams custom created check Lilick was given the opportunity to start the 30-lap Modified feature in last or to try for a better spot in a heat race. Lilick, a Sportsman regular, chose to run in a qualifying heat and won giving him a better feature starting spot.
Feature winners that met the necessary requirements received monetary awards from T.P. Trailers and a certificate from VP Fuels for product awards. The Dan’s Deli ½-way hoagie award recipients were Swinehart and Scott Kohler. Kyle Smith received an extra bonus from the track for being the highest finisher with a Sportsman crate engine. Several cash and product awards went to competitors in the Challenge event courtesy of a variety of sponsors.
Ray Swinehart was the early leader in the Modified feature with grandson and already a feature winner this year Dylan Swinehart, Mike Lisowski, Kyle Weiss and Hirthler in pursuit.
The red had to be thrown on the fourth lap after Doug Manmiller tooked a violent flip along the homestretch coming to a rest on the catch fence. He was uninjured, however, the car was destroyed. Also eliminated since they were left with nowhere to go were Richie Hitzler and back-to-back feature winner Brett Kressley. When action resumed Swinehart was still first with Weiss, Hirthler, D. Swinehart and Steuer completing the order.
Rich Laubach slowed on the 15th lap with a flat to bring out the caution. D. Swinehart and Weiss, running second, dropped out with mechanical issues. The pacesetter continued to be Swinehart on the restart.
The lead changed for the second time on the 18th lap when Hirthler put the Dave George powered Bicknell mount, Green Lane/W Penn No. 117 at the front of the pack. Swinehart didn’t surrender easily and stayed right with Hirthler running the inside trek while Hirthler ran high.
Swinehart’s chances of winning diminished when he hit the second turn infield tire and spun on the 22nd lap. Now behind Hirthler on the restart were Steuer, current point leader Craig Von Dohren, Craig Whitmoyer, who along with the crew really had their work cut out for the night after he hit the wall with heavy impact in warmups but he returned and in a challenging spot and Duane Howard.
Louden Reimert and Carroll Hine III created the last yellow on the 23rd lap after a third turn spin. At the same time Howard relinquished fifth with a flat, but returned and finished tenth.
Hirthler continued his momentum and went on to win his 15th career feature. Steuer was second for his best finish trailed by Strunk, Von Dohren and Whitmoyer. Sixth through tenth were Mike Gular, Justin Grim, Jared Umbenhauer, Ryan Grim and Duane Howard.
Ryan Lilick, R. Swinehart, Strunk and Von Dohren won the heats. Consies were won by Ron Haring Jr. and Bobby Trapper Jr.
Scott Kohler was the early leader of the Sportsman feature in search of his second win.
Jockeying for positions were Miller, Cole Stangle, Dakota Kohler and Kyle Smith.
Just as Miller closed in on S. Kohler, D. Kohler hit the second turn equipment tire and spun on the 14th lap bunching the field together. Miller overtook S. Kohler who started to lose positions as K. Smith, Nate Brinker, Stangle and Brad Arnold got by.
The red was thrown when Mike Laise, who returned to action after an absence, hit the third turn wall with heavy impact. He was uninjured, but the car was badly damaged. Miller was still in the number one position when action went green again.
Miller kept the competition behind him and went on to post his second career victory in which he thanked his sons for all their help and commented he was going to go relax and enjoy finish. Following him across the line were K. Smith, Stangle, Brinker and Arnold. Kyle Lilick, Brian Hirthler, Ryan Beltz, Mark Kemmerer and Nathan Mohr rounded out the top ten.
Stangle, S. Kohler and Jimmy Leiby won the heats and Jesse Leiby won the consi.
In the Hard Charger Challenge Richie Hitzler set the early pace with Bobby Gunther Walsh challenging. Joe Funk III had mechanical problems and came to a stop on the homestretch bringing out the caution. On the restart Lilick jumped in front of the pack and set the pace for the balance of the 22-lap event. Hitzler held on for second followed by Dan Waisempacher, Eric Biehn and Bobby Gunther Walsh.
Saturday, September 12 will have the final NASCAR Track championship event pf the season being presented. Currently at the top of the leader board in the Modified division is ten-time champion Craig Von Dohren while former Sportsman champion Brian Hirthler leads the way in that class. The Hope Mortgage Team, which sponsors Sportsman drivers B.J. Joly and Lex Shive will present an extra $1,000 to the Modified and Sportsman feature winners.
