OKERSON GRABS WALL MODIFIED WIN SATURDAY
WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J. ~ All American Auto Group Racing Series stock car driver Chas Okerson got a second chance at Wall Stadium Speedway. One week earlier while dominating the 40-lap Pete and Elda's Bar/Carmen's Pizzeria 40-lap feature race, the Freehold speedster suffered the failure of a small ignition part which not only stole away the victory but also knocked him out of the race. On Saturday night the four time Modified champion found himself in the same position as the week before, dominating the main event, and this time raced on to the victory.
While Okerson was romping out front, the big battle of the event was for second and Jackson's Jason Treat fought off the advances of Holmdel's Andrew Krause for nearly 30 laps to take the runner-up spot. Howell's Jimmy Blewett and Kenny Van Wickle of Manasquan wrapped up the top five.
“As I was leading the race I was thinking about that part and how many things can go against your in a race,” Okerson said. “My family and crew go over every nut and bolt before every race and that is all you can. I thought about another part failure tonight, but I also thought about how good my crew is.”
Mike Montano of Freeport, N.Y. And Richie Byrne of Howell, later joined by Elliot Wohl of Bayville, wrestled furiously for the lead of the 25-lapper for the O'Shea's Auto Repair Factory Stocks before point leader Montano edged ahead for his third win of the year. Montano, Byrne and Wohl were followed in the top five by Wall's Bob Haberstick and Manchester's Scott Riggleman.
Jarret DiGiantomasso of Jackson won his second Center State Engineering Sportsman 25-lapper with Howell's Kevin Davison and his brother, Carsten DiGiantomasso, close behind. Louie Keraitis of Toms River and Michael Rising of red Bank were fourth and fifth.
Manchester's Shanon Mongeau grabbed the win in the Mike's Performance Center Limited Late Model 25-lapper over his uncle, Joe Mongeau of Brick. Long island's Ken Matlach, Carteret's Harry Scheaffer and Holmdel's Dom Casola wrapped up the top five.
Nick Van Wickle of Edgewater Park won his second straight main event for the Green Flag Driving Experience Legend Cars. Joe McGrath of of Middletown, Little Silver's Peter Bruno, Rob Silver of Howell and James Van Wickle were second through fifth.
Cole Mullen of Brick won his first ever main event with the touring ATQMRA TQ Midgets at the track he grew up at on Saturday night. His father, veteran Wall driver Ronnie Mullen who was also in the race, joined him for an emotional victory lane celebration.
The All American Auto Group Racing Series continues this Saturday evening (July 14) with the Modifieds racing in a 125-lap main event. The Factory Stocks, Legend Cars and the Surfside Collision 4 Cylinder Stocks are also on the agenda. 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.

GROSSO SPARKLES AT NEW EGYPT SPEEDWAY'S FIRECRACKER 40
New Egypt, NJ (July 8, 2018) - At New Egypt Speedway's Firecracker 40
presented by Pakenham Motorsports, Brandon Grosso scored the win in the
Modified feature. Eddie Strada took the checkered flag in the USAC East
Coast Wingless Sprint Car main event. The Crate Modified feature was won by
Connor King. Joe Garey, Jr. scored the victory in the 4-Cylinder race.
After two cautions, the Firecracker 40 for the Modifieds got underway with
Rich Rutski in front and Ryan Godown next in line. On lap three, the yellow
lights illuminated for PJ Oliver. When the green flag waved, Godown raced
past Rutski to gain the lead with TJ Lilly riding in third. Following a
fourth tour caution period for Billy Pauch, Jr., Godown remained in command
as Lilly edged into the runner-up position. At the quarter mark of the
event, Godown was pulling away from the field with Brandon Grosso motoring
into second place from his eleventh place starting spot. David VanHorn, who
started in twelfth, continued his march forward by advancing into third with
twelve laps completed. On the thirteenth circuit, Godown's comfortable edge
evaporated as the yellow flag waved for Kevin Vaclavicek. Following two
restarts that misfired, action resumed with Godown holding off Grosso and
VanHorn to maintain his lead. Grosso methodically reeled in Godown and the
two began to duel for the lead as the contest reached the halfway point.
After a good battle for first place, Grosso slipped by Godown to take over
the front running spot on lap twenty-two. One tour later, a slowing Davey
Sammons stopped the action on the track. At this point, a fuel stop took
place due to the amount of total laps run under green and yellow flag
conditions. Following the brief break in the action, Grosso repelled a
challenge by Godown to keep his lead with VanHorn, Ryan Krachun and John
McClelland in tow. Grosso began to pull away from his rivals. With ten laps
to go, Grosso had built up a large margin over Godown. Through the final
tours, Grosso kept his advantage to register his first win of the year and
his second career victory in the Modified ranks at New Egypt Speedway. With
Godown crossing the line in second, VanHorn completed the race in third.
Krachun held off McClelland to finish fourth. Rich Rutski, Ryan Godown and
Danny Bouc won the Modified heat races.
Winner Eddie Strada (Wheels Of Speed Photo)
Eddie Strada survived a last lap restart to win the 30-lap main event for
the East Coast Wingless Sprint Cars. Trevor Kobylarz paced the pack for the
opening three tours. On the fourth lap, Steve Drevicki took over. Strada,
who started the race in fifth, moved into second with five laps completed.
After a good battle for the lead, Strada sped past Drevicki on lap eleven to
gain the lead. Over the final third of the event, Strada would fend off the
challenges of Drevicki including a final circuit restart to gain the
victory. Behind Drevicki, Chandler Leiby was third. After an early race
caution, Ryan Godown roared back through the field to finish in fourth.
Fifth place was taken by Joey Biasi. The USAC East Coast Wingless qualifying
races went to Eddie Strada, Steve Drevicki and Ryan Godown.
In the 20-lap Crate Modified feature, Connor King collected his third
checkered flag of the season. Steve Desmelyk led the first two circuits
before Ryan Simmons grabbed the lead. The thirteenth place starting King
progressed to the front of the field on lap five and remained on top until
the completion of the race. Simmons held on for second place with Kyle Kania
finishing third. John Aumick and Jeremy Martino completed the top five.
Connor King and John Aumick were the victors in the Crate Modified heat
races.
Following a caution on the third circuit of the 15-lap 4-Cylinder race, Joe
Garey, Jr. passed his father and kept ahead of the pack to win his second
race of the season. Joe Garey, Sr. was second with third going to Robby
Dunn. Newcomer JC Duvall came home in fourth and fifth went to Tom Stavola.

DANNY SNYDER WINS THIRD FIRECRACKER 40 LATE MODEL RACE, VONDOHREN WINS SECOND MOD FEATURE OF 2018 AND ARNOLD IS TOPS IN SPORTSMAN AT GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY
BECHTELSVILLE, PA. July 8, 2018 . . . Craig Von Dohren collected his second T.P. Trailers 30-lap NASCAR Modified feature victory of the season by holding off the hard-charging run of Mike Gular, the current Mod point leader, who was closing in during the final stages through the aid of the lapped cars. The Saturday night win didn’t come easy for Von Dohren, the ten-time and defending champion since twice he went through the middle of lapped traffic. He commented in victory lane that he knew they were racing for positions on the track that was getting slick for them as well as the others in the final event of the night. Von Dohren also thanked his crew and many sponsors who he realizes he wouldn’t be where he is without them.
Danny Snyder won his third Firecracker 40-lap Late Model NASCAR feature with defending point champion Chuck Schutz right behind. Snyder, the current point leader won the event back-to-back in 2012 and 2013.
In the 25-lap NASCAR Sportsman feature Brad Arnold, who was a spectator last week when mechanical problems sidelined him from the feature, finally had Lady Luck on his side and claimed his second feature victory of the year.
Events were broadcast by RCN-TV, Allentown and providing feature winners met the necessary requirements, they received monetary awards from T.P. Trailers and also product certificates from VP Fuels. They also were the Dan’s Deli ½-way hoagie award winners.
Modified action saw Eric Biehn overtake Chris Gambler for the lead on the second lap to become the new pacesetter.
While Biehn showed the way around the 1/3-mile oval, Gambler and Ryan Grim put on quite a dual for second with Jared Umbenhauer, Ray Swinehart and Von Dohren in pursuit.
Once Grim moved into second and erased the margin Biehn built up, he ran the bottom lane in an attempt to pass Biehn, who chose the high lane to keep the lead.
Ron Kline stopped in the second turn to bring out the only race caution on the ninth lap. It was still Biehn first on the restart, but by this time, 12th-place starter Von Dohren was in the challenging position.
The 13th lap was a lucky one for Von Dohren when he motored his self-owned, Nick Gatto powered No. 1C into the number one spot.
Umbenhauer advanced to second on the 16th circuit and took chase after Von Dohren who had somewhat of a slight margin built up.
By the 20th lap, the front runners that consisted of Von Dohren, Umbenhauer, Gular, Biehn and Duane Howard encountered lapped traffic that were also racing for positions, but it hampered the progression of the frontrunners also.
Two times Von Dohren had some narrow misses with the slower traffic when he went through the middle, but managed to get through.
With five laps to go Gular cleared Umbenhauer and was off after Von Dohren hoping to grab the lead.
Von Dohren never gave up and went on to score his 104th career Saturday night career win trailed by Gular, Umbenhauer, Howard and Jeff Strunk, who both came on strong in the end.
Brett Gilmore, Ray Swinehart and Timmy Buckwalter were the heat winners.
Invader Sean Merkel, winner of the Late Model Firecracker 40 in 2015, wasted no time taking the early lead away from polesitter and opening night winner Snyder at the start of the event.
Merkel ran the high line and Snyder made several efforts to dive underneath him, but each attempt failed.
The lead changed the eighth time around when Snyder put the KAM Fuels No. 44 into first.
Behind Snyder the battle for positions was hot and heavy between Merkel, Schutz, Brian Shuey, making a rare appearance and Wayne Pfeil.
Merkel and Schutz diced for second many laps until Schutz got by and set sail after Snyder.
Mechanical problems continued to hinder Bryon Sipe who battled with Kyle Merkel for the sixth spot many laps until a broken axle and flat tire slowed his pace bringing out the yellow with 23 laps completed. Snyder was still first when action resumed with Schutz challenging, but Snyder kept him behind.
It seemed Schutz would gain ground on Snyder, but that quick he lost it.
Snyder kept all the competition behind him and went on to claim his 10th Grandview career win followed by Schutz, Pfeil, Merkel and Shuey.
Arnold, who chalked up his first 25-lap NASCAR Sportsman of the season May 5, 2018, finally had a change of luck when he pulled into the winner’s circle for the second time by a comfortable margin over runner-up Louden Reimert.
Kurt Bettler was the early leader after two tries to complete a lap, but the second time around Arnold put the No. 830 into tat the head of the pack.
Within no time Arnold had a sizeable lead while Kenny Bock, Bettler, Kyle Lilick and Reimert jockeyed for the remaining spots. Trying to break into the top five was Brad Brightbill.
Cale Ross spun in the fourth turn to regroup the pack on the 15th lap. Arnold maintained his pace on the restart, but four laps later Reimert put his bids in for first.
Nothing hampered Arnold for a change and he kept everyone behind him to chalk up his fourth career win. Chasing Arnold across the line were Reimert, Brightbill, Lilick and Mike Lisowski.
Heats were won by Andrew Kreis, Nathan Mohr and Arnold.
Coming up on Saturday, July 14th, 7:30 p.m. another exciting evening of NASCAR stock car racing on the high banks. Included in the Whelen Engineering sponsored tripleheader show will be the T.P.Trailers NASCAR 358 Modifieds, Sportsman and Late Models. Spectator gates open at 5 p.m.

FIRECRACKER 40 FOR NASCAR LATE MODELS HEADLINES TRIPLEHEADER RACING ACTION AT GRANDVIEW SPEEDWAY ON SATURDAY
BECHTELSVILLE, PA July 6, 2018 . . . The biggest event of the season is here for the NASCAR Late Model stock cars at Grandview Speedway on Saturday when the annual Firecracker 40 takes place.

However if the car count is 24 or more then there will be qualifying through eight lap heat races with 24 cars starting the Firecracker 40.
Veteran Danny Snyder is leading the points going into this event. Multi-time champion Chuck Schutz has been having a tough season but is expected to challenge for the win. Kyle Merkel, Lou Egrie, Wayne Pfeil and others will be looking to take home the pot of gold.
Joining the Late Models as part of the Firecracker tripleheader will be the very popular T.P. Trailers NASCAR 358 Modifieds along with the exciting Sportsman racers.

Close behind is ten time track titleholder Jeff Strunk who sent fans home after the Tuesday night Thunder Modified race talking to themselves about his 23rd to 1st run in the 30-lap main event. He goes for his third Saturday night win of the season.
