BLEWETT (MODS), ALCARO AND KORNER (LEGEND CARS) ARE WALL WINNERS SATURDAY
WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J. ~ Current Pete and Elda's Bar/Carmen's Pizzeria Modified stock car point leader Jimmy Blewett used not only speed, but also evasive driving techniques, to win the 40-lap All American Auto Group Racing Series main event at Wall Stadium Speedway Saturday night. It was the Howell resident's ninth win of the campaign.
Manasquan's Kenny Van Wickle looked strong as he jumped to the lead at the outset. Meanwhile, Derek Hopkinson of Toms River, Jackson's Steven Reed, Holmdel's Andrew Krause and Blewett were fighting for second through fifth positions. When this battle finally overheated cars spun and tagged the rail but Blewett was able to avoid the carnage to advance to second. On the restart Blewett powered to the front in the outside lane and raced on to the win. Van Wickle was an impressive second, while Tyler Truex of Mayetta, Howell's Eric Mauriello and Shaun Carrig of Little Falls completed the top five.
“You need to have a perfect car to be able to avoid things like that,” Blewett said. “You have to be able to steer it and it needs to go where you put it. My guys work real hard to give me a perfect car and it shows.”
The Green Flag Driving Experience Legend Cars share top billing with twin 25 lap main events with Mike Alcaro of West Milford and Noah Korner of Canton, Connecticut taking the wins.
The first race saw Korner lead early before Alcaro arrived at the head of the pack and took the lead with three laps to go. Korner nailed down second in this one with his brother Glen Korner finishing third. Alex McCollum of Phillipsburg and James Sylvester of Massapequa, N.Y. wrapped up the top five.
In the Legend Cars nightcap Korner took the lead by lap three and fought off McCollum at the finish. Howell's Rob Silver, Nick Van Wickle of Edgewater Park and Peter Bruno of Little Silver completed the top five.
Howell's Kevin Davison took the top spot from early leader Michael Rising of Red Bank with just four laps remaining to win the Center State Engineering Sportsman 25-lap feature. Kyle Scisco of Jackson was second at the stripe, while Howell's Eric Lane, and brothers Carsten and Jarret DiGiantomasso, both of Jackson, wrapped up the top five.
A.J. Jadacki of West Freehold won his first ever 25-lap main event for the Surfside Collision 4 Cylinder Stocks in impressive fashion. Darianne McLaren of Edison crossed the line in second with Chris Silvestri of Hazlet, Nicole Razzano of Cookstown and Jeff Loesch of Neptune City finishing third through fifth.
The All American Auto Group Racing Series continues this Saturday evening (Aug. 11) on “Beach Luau Night.” Modified, Sportsman, 4 Cylinder Stock and Mike's Performance Center Limited Late Models competitors are all slated for regular distance main event action, while the O'Shea's Auto Repair Factory Stocks will race in a double distance 50 lap feature.

BOUC BAGS HIS SECOND MODIFIED WIN OF THE SEASON AT NEW EGYPT SPEEDWAY
New Egypt, NJ (August 5, 2018) - On National Parts Supply's Scout Night at
New Egypt Speedway, Danny Bouc bagged his second Modified feature of the
season. The Hammer Sportsman feature was captured by Joseph Brown. Rich
Mellor claimed the Larry's Hot Rods & Harley's Northeast Wingless Sprint Car
main event.
As the 30-lap feature for the Modifieds got underway, PJ Oliver grabbed the
lead over Davey Sammons and Bryan Kuhl. By the seventh tour, the top two of
Oliver and Sammons were engaged in a duel for the top spot. On the next
circuit, Sammons had just taken command when the yellow flag appeared as
Oliver appeared to have grazed the inside guardrail in the fourth turn and
spun. After another caution on lap nine for a flat on Matt Stangle's ride,
Sammons was still in control with John McClelland and fourteenth place
starting Billy Pauch Jr. next in line. Following another caution and
restart, Sammons was still setting the pace with Pauch Jr., McClelland,
Danny Bouc and David VanHorn in tow as the contest reached the halfway
point. Just after the midway mark of the race, Bouc, who started the feature
in sixteenth, moved his racecar to the upper groove and the tactical change
quickly helped his efforts to move forward. On lap eighteen, Bouc drove by
Sammons to take over the front running spot just before the yellow lights
illuminated for a multi-car tangle on the track. When the green flag waved
again, Bouc remained in first with Pauch Jr. motoring into the runner-up
spot for one lap until VanHorn ascended into second on the next revolution.
As the event progressed into the final third, the scoreboard showed Bouc in
front with VanHorn in second and Sammons in third. With five to go, Bouc was
pulling away from his rivals as Sammons was using the high line to reel in
VanHorn for second. On lap twenty-six, Sammons swept past VanHorn to retake
the spot. Over the closing laps, Bouc continued to increase his advantage to
take his second win of the season and tenth of his career at New Egypt
Speedway. A strong run by Sammons netted the Modified rookie second place.
With VanHorn finishing third, Brandon Grosso was fourth and McClelland came
home in fifth. The Modified heat races were won by David VanHorn, Davey
Sammons and Billy Pauch Jr.
After taking the lead from Bob Rambone on the second circuit, Joseph Brown
survived several restarts in the first half of the 20-lap Hammer Sportsman
feature to capture his first career checkered flag. Brown, who was a rookie
at New Egypt Speedway in 2017, started the race in third. Pat Wall followed
Brown and finished in second place. Third place was taken by Jimmy Amato.
Will Dupree was fourth and fifth went to Cale Ross. Joseph Brown and Pat
Wall were victors in the qualifying events for the Hammer Sportsman.
In the 20-lap Larry's Hot Rods & Harley's Northeast Wingless Sprint Car
feature, Rich Mellor took the lead with six circuits to go and survived a
late restart to gain his first career victory. Duane Nixon led the field for
the opening nine tours before Jermain Godshall gained the top spot following
a restart. Using an inside maneuver in the fourth corner, the fifth place
starting Mellor hopped to the front of the field on lap fourteen. Mellor
repelled a challenge by Lee Nardelli following a caution period with two
laps left to snare the win. Nardelli was second with Karl Freyer taking
third. Heidi Hedin, the heat race winner, and Brian Spencer completed the
top five.
On Saturday, August 11 at New Egypt Speedway, Eastern Auto Parts Warehouse
Night takes place with six feature events. The Modifieds will be in action
along with two main events for the Mid-Atlantic Sprint Car Series (complete
show plus make-up feature from April 14). The Crate Modifieds, Street Stocks

VON DOHREN, SNYDER AND LISOWSKI ARE NASCAR FEATURE WINNERS AT GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY
BECHTELSVILLE, PA. August 5, 2018 - Craig Von Dohren, the defending NASCAR Modified point champion, won his third 30-lap T.P. Trailers & Truck Equipment NASCAR 358 Modified feature of the season on Saturday night at Grandview Speedway in an event that was marred by four-red flag incidents. Von Dohren was able to steer clear of the accidents and avoid being involved.
The 25-lap NASCAR Late Model feature had its share of mishaps also. With five laps to go, leader Kyle Merkel and Steve Wilson, both feature winners earlier in the season, made contact coming out of turn four. Both cars spun giving the lead to current point leader Danny Snyder. Snyder maintained the top spot and went on to chalk up his third win of the year.
Mike Lisowski claimed his second 25-lap NASCAR Sportsman feature by a comfortable margin over runner-up Jack Butler.
In the activities supported by the Checkered Flag Fan Club, all feature winners received a monetary award from T.P. Trailers and product awards from V.P. Racing Fuel providing they met the necessary requirements. Bob Trapper, Modified; K. Merkel, Late Model and Lisowski, Sportsman received the Dan’s Deli ½-way hoagie award.
Bob Trapper set the pace for two laps before the first red came out for a third turn chain reaction accident that blocked the track and eliminated Brett Kressley and Justin Grim. The restart was void and the second red unfurled when a multi-car homestretch accident saw Duane Howard flip with Frank Cozze, last week’s feature winner Ray Swinehart, Danny Erb and rookie Jordan Henn also involved and out of contention. All drivers walked away. Howard’s car received the most damage. When racing resumed, Trapper was still the leader while his son Bobby Trapper Jr., Doug Manmiller, already a winner a few weeks ago in the Jason Miller-owned mount; Skylar Sheriff and Ryan Grim, who started 20th in pursuit, followed.
The red was thrown with nine laps completed when Clay Butler hopped the wheel of another competitor and flipped along the frontshute. Also eliminated was Kory Fleming, making a rare appearance at Grandview.
The Trappers were still one and two on the restart, but now Grim, Manmiller and Kevin Hirthler, who came from deep in the pack from 23rd, completed the top five.
Lap 13 was an unlucky one for Meme DeSantis when he flipped along the homestretch for the fourth and final red flag. He was slightly shaken, but walked away. It was still the Trappers in the front row, but now Grim was pressuring the younger Trapper for second. Not far behind was Von Dohren, who started 21st after winning the consi for the second week in a row and K. Hirthler.
Lap 18 saw Von Dohren make a daring move when he went between Trapper Jr. and Grim to overtake second and set his sights on Trapper.
Von Dohren drove to the bottom of the track that many drivers felt was heavy due to all the rain during the week and put the Nick Gatto-powered No. 1C into the lead on the 20th lap.
Within no time Von Dohren checked out and increased the distance as the laps wound down.
The field regrouped on the 27th lap caution brought out when Trapper, who was having a solid run, spun into the homestretch infield, but was in a dangerous spot.
That setback didn’t hamper Von Dohren as he was off and running when the race restarted.
Von Dohren remained first until the drop of the checkered for his 105th Saturday night career win. Chasing him across were Grim, who faired better this week after being the first drop out last week; K. Hirthler, current point leader Mike Gular, who came from 23rd after having to run the consi and Jared Umbenhauer, who also ran the consi and started 25th.
Heats were won by Sheriff, Trapper Jr., Bobby Gunther Walsh and Henn. R. Grim and Von Dohren won the consies.
The same drivers, plus a host of others will participate in the Pioneer Pole Buildings Forrest Rogers Memorial 50-lap race with $10,000 going to the winner. Included in the show will be the Late Model and Sportsman classes.
Kyle Merkel wasted no time charging from second and into the lead at the onset of the Late Model feature leaving Lou Egrie, Cory Merkel, Snyder and Wilson in tow.
While in third, C. Merkel spun in the second turn on lap four. The restart was void when Steve Todorow was facing the wrong direction turn two. After two tries, K. Merkel was still the pacesetter trailed by Egrie, Wilson, Chuck Schutz and Drew Weisser.
Egrie, who was running a solid second, spun in the second turn bringing out the caution on lap 16. At the same time Schutz, who was fourth, went pit side and was finished for the night. Merkel held first when action continued, but Wilson was giving him no room to slip-up.
While battling for the lead, Merkel and Wilson touched, both spun in the fourth turn and Snyder, who was at the right spot at the right time, was the new leader with five laps to go.
Snyder never faltered and was in the winner’s circle for the third time and career win 12 followed by C. Merkel, for his season best finish; Todorow, Wilson and Wayne Pfeil.
Sportsman action saw polesitter Andy Clemmer take the early lead.
A multi-car fourth turn caution on the fourth lap eliminated Mark Kemmerer’s chances of making it two in a row as he was towed back to the pits. Clemmer held his position on the restart, but Jesse Landis was making his presence known.
The lead changed on the sixth lap when Landis was able to overtake Clemmer and one lap later Lisowski was second.
Landis’ lead was short-lived since two laps later Lisowski was at the head of the pack.
It didn’t take Lisowski long to open up a comfortable lead while Jack Butler, Joe Funk III, Clemmer and current point leader Louden Reimert diced for the remaining positions.
The red was thrown on the 19th lap after Ryan Higgs, who returned to action a few weeks ago after destroying his car earlier in the season, flipped in turn two. He was uninjured, but once again the car was badly damaged. Lisowski motored away fast on the restart to stay in command.
Once Lisowski had the lead he never looked back and went on to claim his tenth career triumph. Chasing him across the line were Butler, Reimert, 14-yr.old rookie Alex Yankowski in his first appearance at the track for an impressive run and Funk IOII.
Clemmer, Mike Mammana and Andrew Kreis won the heats. Higgs won the consi.
NASCAR stock car racing action returns to Grandview this Saturday, August 11th, with the running of the annual Pioneer Pole Buildings Forrest Rogers Memorial, a 50-lapper for Modifieds, paying $10, 000 to win. The Late Models and Sportsman will be part of the events that start at 7:30 p.m. Adult admission is $25, youngsters 6 thru 11 pay $5 and kids under 6 are admitted FREE.

The 358 NASCAR Modifieds will be competing in a series of qualifying events leading up to the 30 lap, $3,000 to win feature event.

BLEWETT (MODS), WOHL, BYRNE AND BOWERS (FACTORY STOCKS) EARN WALL WINS SATURDAY
WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J. ~ One of the largest crowds of the 2018 All American Auto Group Racing Series witnessed seven feature races at Wall Stadium Speedway Saturday night with Howell's Jimmy Blewett taking his eighth Modified win of the year. With three main events on the schedule for the Factory Stocks Beachwood's Elliot Wohl, Howell's Richie Byrne and John Bowers of Pt. Pleasant were all winners on Snap On Tools Night.
Blewett started deep in the field in the Pete and Elda's Bar/Carmen's Pizzeria Modified 40-lapper and immediately started his run to the front. An early race scramble then claimed Blewett who was forced to duck into the pit area for repairs. Derek Hopkinson of Toms River and Manasquan's Kenny Van Wickle then wrestled for the top spot before Blewett completed his run to the front and took over the top spot on lap eight. Blewett then led the rest of the way but was forced to fight off several attacks from Hopkinson. Howell's Eric Mauriello and Steven Reed and Jason Treat, both of Jackson, wrapped up the top five.
“Tonight was for everyone who says we can't pass on the outside,” Blewett said after the race. “Derek (Hopkinson) has a team on a budget and they do a great job. He gave me a lot of pressure.”
Elliot Wohl came from deep in the field to win the first of three 25-lappers for the O'Shea's Auto Repair Factory Stocks. He finally powered to the top spot for good on lap 21 and was chased across the finish line by point leader Mike Montano of Freeport, N.Y., Howell's Steve West, Byrne and Tom Rajkowski of Fords.
After a season of bad fortunes third generation driver Byrne also passed a lot of cars to grab his victory in the second Factory Stock feature. Byrne took the lead on lap seven and was chased across the line by Manchester's Scott Riggleman, Wohl, Montano and West.
Bowers jumped to the lead early and never looked back to claim his first win on five years in the Factory Stock nightcap. Wohl, Riggleman, Ron Booth of Eatontown and Montano were second through fifth in this one.
Kyle Scisco of Jackson raced to his first victory of the year in the 25-lap Center State Engineering Sportsman feature event. Louie Keraitis of Toms River led early before spinning from the top spot near halfway. Scisco then raced into the lead and on to the win followed by a top five of Jake Nelke of Manahawkin, Farmingdale's John McCormick, Mike Brennan of Morristown and Jackson's Carsten DiGiantomasso.
Shannon Mongeau of Manchester beat his uncle Joe Mongeau of Brick to the finish line after a torrid battle to win the Mike's Performance Center Limited Late Model 25-lap main event. Holmdel's Dom Casola, Mike Tillett of Bayville and Jackson's Greg Gastelu wrapped up the top five.
Nick Van Wickle of Edgewater Park won his third Green Flag Driving Experience Legend Cars 25-lapper Saturday night over Chris Gall of Brick and Peter Bruno of Little Silver.
The All American Auto Group Racing Series continues this Saturday evening (Aug. 4) on “Kids Sports Night” where any child up to 17 years old wearing their youth sports jersey or shirt will be admitted free of charge. Modified, Sportsman and Surfside Collision 4 Cylinder Stocks competitors are all slated for main event action, while the Legend Cars will race in twin features.
