A four division show of stock car racing is set on the one-third-mile, banked clay track for Saturday, August 25th starting at 7:30 p.m. Featured will be the Modifieds, Sportsman, Late Models and the excitement of the Blast from the Past Vintage racers. There will be no increase in the price of admission with adults paying just $15 and youngsters under 12 admitted free. By the way there is free parking on the speedway grounds.
Fans will be able to meet modified racer Doug Manmiller along with sportsman racers Mark Kemmerer and Kenny Bock in the Low Down and Dirty Meet & Greet that takes place near the main entrance at 5 p.m.
Mike Gular continues to lead the standings in the T.P.Trailers Modified division as he has done most of the season.

KRACHUN MARCHES BACK INTO NEW EGYPT SPEEDWAY'S VICTORY LANE
New Egypt, NJ (August 19, 2018) - At Eastern AutoParts Warehouse's Jeep
Night, Ryan Krachun marched back into New Egypt Speedway's victory lane by
winning the Modified feature. The Hammer Sportsman main event was won by Bob
Lineman Jr. Karl Freyer was triumphant in the Larry's Hot Rods & Harley's
Northeast Wingless Sprint Car feature.
As the 30-lap Modified feature got underway, PJ Oliver grabbed the lead.
Sixth place starting Ryan Krachun was quickly on the move as he traveled
into the runner-up spot with three laps in the books. After the yellow
lights illuminated on the third circuit, Oliver was still on top with
Krachun in second and Billy Pauch Jr., who started the contest in eleventh,
motoring into third. Krachun was beginning to reel in Oliver just before two
appearances of the yellow flag on the seventh revolution. Once racing
resumed, Krachun raced past Oliver to gain first place with Pauch Jr.
slipping into second and Oliver, Steve Davis and Jimmy Horton next in line.
Following an additional caution period, Krachun was still setting the pace
at the halfway point with Pauch Jr., Davis, Oliver and TJ Lilly completing
the top five. One tour later, Horton would work his way past Lilly to regain
fifth. With ten laps to go, Krachun had a three-car advantage over Pauch.
Jr. On lap twenty one, David VanHorn, who was the point leader entering the
race, stopped in the fourth corner to bring out the final yellow flag of the
contest. When the green flag waved, Krachun repelled another challenge by
Pauch Jr. to maintain his lead with Oliver, Davis, and Horton rounding out
the top five. With only five to go, Krachun and Pauch Jr. had pulled away
from the field with Krachun having a two-car length advantage. Over the
final tours, Krachun continued his strong pace to record his third career
checkered flag and his first since 2015. With Pauch Jr. finishing in second,
Oliver netted third. Davis came home in fourth and Horton captured fifth.
The Modified heat races were claimed by PJ Oliver, Steve Davis, and Billy
Pauch Jr. Brandon Grosso was the victor in the consolation contest.
In the non-stop feature for the Hammer Sportsman, Bob Lineman Jr. led from
start to finish to win the 20-lap race. The victory was the second of the
year for Lineman Jr. and the eighteenth of his career at New Egypt Speedway.
Tenth place starting Cale Ross took the runner-up spot after a good battle
with Will Dupree. With Dupree finishing third, David Burns was fourth. Ryan
Heim, the 2018 Rookie Champion, completed the contest in fifth. David Burns
and Bob Lineman Jr. won the qualifying events for the Hammer Sportsman.
After gaining the lead from Duane Nixon on the sixth circuit, Karl Freyer
paced the field for the remaining distance to take the 20-lap feature for
the Larry's Hot Rods & Harley's Northeast Wingless Sprint Cars. The victory
was Freyer's third of the season as he continues to sit on top of the point
standings. Rich Mellor followed Freyer across the finish line. Third went to
Lee Nardelli. Jordan Lawrence and Dan Malley filled out the top five. The
heat races in the Larry's Hot Rods & Harley's Northeast Wingless Sprint Cars
division were taken by Brian Spencer and Duane Nixon.
On Saturday, August 25 at New Egypt Speedway, the Hammer Companies will be
presenting Fan Appreciation Night. Plenty of giveaways will be doled out

ANDREW KRAUSE WINS CLIFF KRAUSE MEMORIAL AT WALL SATURDAY
WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J. ~ In what could have been easily written as a Hollywood script, Andrew Krause of Holmdel overcame adversity to win the first ever Cliff Krause Memorial race at Wall Stadium Speedway Saturday night. Offering $7,127 to the 127-lap race winner, the Krause Memorial offers the richest payout on the 2018 All American Auto Group racing Series regular season for the Pete and Elda's Bar/Carmen's Pizzeria Modified stock cars.
Cliff Krause, who rescued the paved oval nearly a decade ago when he took over as the promoter along with his wife Diane, passed away of natural causes in January. His family continues to operate the facility.
Andrew Krause's effort started on a high note when he posted the fastest lap of 28 entries in time trials at 96.615 mph for a trip around the third mile oval. His first setback then came when a fan picked a 14 car inverted line up for the start of the race which relegated him to a fourteenth starting spot. Krause then started his march to the front, but that lasted just 10 laps before a broken power steering line sent him to the pit area for repairs. Krause returned to the the pack of the pack to attempt to get to the front.
Meanwhile a battle for the lead seemed to rage almost constantly as Lavallette's Adam LaCicero and Danny Bohn of Mooresville, N.C. took turns in the top spot in the early going. When Bohn left the race with shifter problems Steven Reed of Jackson took command and eventually wrestled side-by-side for several laps with Shaun Carrig of Little Falls before Carrig took the lead with an outside lane pass. With Carrig deciding not to bolt on a new tire when several others had or did, he slipped back a few spots after a lap 94 restart and Krause took the lead.
Krause then fought through a handful of late race caution flags and fought off the challenges of first Zack Alspach of Willingboro and later Derek Hopkinson of Toms River for the emotional win. Howell's Jimmy Blewett, who fought through his own share of on track troubles, crossed the line third, with Reed and Carrig wrapping up the top five.
“This one is for you Dad,” Krause said after the victory. “We had that power steering problem early and I thought that was it, but my crew made the repairs. They never give up and that won us this race tonight. I'm just so glad that I can share this with my mom and my sister. But I am so sad that my father isn't here for this win.”
Kenny Green of Farmingdale won the companion 27-lap feature race for the O'Shea's Auto Repair Factory Stocks. Bryan O'Shea of Wall was the early leader until a slowing car blocked his path with just six laps remaining. John Bowers of Pt. Pleasant then slipped into the lead before lapped car woes spoiled his effort with two laps remaining. Green was then able to motor into the lead and battled Elliot Wohl of Beachwood to the checker flag. O'Shea, point leader Mike Montano of Freeport, N.Y. and Manchester's Scott Riggleman completed the top five.
Neil Rutt III of Jackson won his first ever main event in the 27-lapper for the Surfside Collision 4 Cylinder Stocks. Jeffrey Loesch of Neptune City was second, with Howell's Brian Osborn, Darianne McLaren of Edison and Hazlet's Chris Silvestri third through fifth.
Alex McCollum of Phillipsburg was also a first time winner in the Green Flag Driving Experience Legend Cars 27-lap main event. Vinny Troia of Browns Mills, Nick Van Wickle of Edgewater Park, Rob Hyer and James Van Wickle completed the first five.
The All American Auto Group Racing Series continues this Saturday evening (Aug. 25) on “Pack the Track Night,” which offers a discounted $10 adult admission, a $5 ticket for youngsters 6 to 16 and free admission for kids five and under. The Center State Sportsman cars will race in a 50-lapper, while the Factory Stocks, 4 Cylinder Stocks, Legend Cars and the TQ Midgets are all slated for regular distance main event action. Once racing is complete a Demolition Derby will be presented. Grandstands open at 5:00 p.m., with qualifying set for 5:45 p.m. and feature race action set for 7:00 p.m.
Saturday night racing action continues through early October with schedule details at wallspeedwayracing.com.
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. The speedway hotline number is 732-681-6400 and email address is ckmotorsports@aol.com.
