CONE RACES FOR STOCK CARS AT WALL SATURDAY (AUG. 29)

WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J. ~ All of the fans who attend this Saturday (Aug. 29) evening’s stock car racing events at Wall Stadium Speedway will be rewarded with high-speed action from five racing divisions in “Cone Races” on the high-banked third mile paved oval. Modified, Sportsman, Factory Stock, 4 Cylinder Stock and Limited Late Model racers will all be in the spotlight.

Grandstand seating will open Saturday at 4:30 p.m., qualifying is set for 5:30 p.m. and main event racing will follow at 7:00 p.m.

The Modified 40-lap “Cone Race” main event on the night is important in the race for the season-long driving title. Two-time winner Blake Barney of Jackson has looked strong in early season action as have former champ Steven Reed of Jackson, Jimmy Blewett of Howell, Andrew Krause of Holmdel and Toms River's Derek Hopkinson, to name a few.

Also on the card will be 25-lap “Cone Races” for the 4 Cylinder Stocks, Sportsman cars, Limited Late Models and the Factory Stocks.

In a “Cone Race” a traffic cone is placed on the backstretch at the one-to-go sign for a restart. Any driver can choose to go inside the cone or outside the cone. If the first four drivers choose the inside, for example, the fifth place driver can choose the outside and move up to the front row. Does a driver take the preferred inside groove and restart further back on the inside, or does he or she choose the shorter line of cars on the outside and hope he or she can make it stick? That’s the issue each driver will face on each restart.

Pit gates will open at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday; with practice starting at 3:00 p.m. Grandstands will open at 4:30 p.m., qualifying is then set for 5:30 p.m. with main events for all divisions to follow.
