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.
Wall Stadium presents professional motorsports events on Saturdays through early October with special post-season races in late November. The speedway 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, while CKMotorsports@aol.com is the track’s email address. Updated information is always available at www.wallspeedwayracing.com.

KOFOID OVERCOMES AN EARLY CAUTION TO DOMINATE AT JACKSONVILLE
Jacksonville, IL. (08/23/2020) Perfection was the word of the night on Sunday for the Penngrove, CA. native- Michael "Buddy" Kofoid aboard the Keith Kunz Motorsports No. 67 at the famous Jacksonville Speedway in Jacksonville, IL.
After a rough heat race run and putting himself in the semi Feature, Michael "Buddy" Kofoid squeaks his way into the 30-lap main event. Charging from the 19th position to capture his seventh win on the 2020 race season with the POWRi Lucas Oil National Midget League.
Joined alongside Clinton Boyles of Greenwood, Missouri. Jerry Coons Jr. of Tucson, AZ made up the front row. As they both lead the field the green flag, Kofoid starting in the 19position was involved in the caution that came out on the first lap. Due to a complete restart, Kofoid regains his 19th starting position.
Boyles came back to life on the restart and pulled away while the attention turned to the battle brewing for second as Coons followed in second. As Thomas Meseraull had his hands full battling with Emerson Axsom. Hitting the halfway mark, Boyles still in the lead and Kofoid had made his way up to the sixth position.
A caution for a stopped car on lap 24 brought fans to the edge of their seat, with only six laps to go. Buddy Kofoid was sitting in the third position right before the caution. Going back to green, Boyles remained in control with Kofoid in second after passing Emerson Axsom. Kofoid set his sight on Boyles and does just that, he takes the lead on lap 27 and Axsom followed to claim second.
Crossing the stripe and completing a perfect night on the amazing Jacksonville, IL surface, Michael "Buddy" Kofoid parked his No. 67 in victory lane for the seventh time this year and climbed atop the cage victoriously in front of a full Jacksonville crowd.
Finishing in second after capping a late charge, Emerson Axsom of Franklin, IN. brought his No. 15 home with the runner-up honors. Rounding out the podium in third-place, Clinton Boyles with it being his best career finish with the POWRi Lucas Oil National Midget League. Fourth place was brought home by No. 85 Jerry Coons Jr. Rounding out your top five, the Muskogee, OK. native- Kaylee Bryson.
"Just kind of got unlucky in the heat race and had an issue with the right rear, but to get my seventh win with these KKM guys and a 1st, 2nd, and a 1st this weekend is pretty huge." Stated Buddy Kofoid
"Definitely need more seat time, Buddy he is really good right now in midgets." Emerson Axsom brings home the second-place finish.
"I got to do my job a little better, still kind of new to this and what it takes to be good there throughout the 30- laps." Clinton Boyles bringing home third.

Buffalino Best After Blewett Breaks In New Egypt Koczon Classic Thriller
NEW EGYPT, NJ - Morganville, NJ’s Dominick Buffalino scored one of the richest wins in his Dirt Modified career on Saturday night at the New Egypt Speedway in the inaugural Ron John Koczon Classic. The 77-lap Modified event held in memory of the former NES Modified campaigner who lost his battle with cancer in April was worth $7,700 to Buffalino. It was Buffalino’s second win of the 2020 season at New Egypt Speedway.
“I raced with Ron John, way back at East Windsor and everywhere, he was one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. He was a good guy to race with. There are some people you like to race with and there are some you don’t. He was definitely one of the guys you liked to race,” said Buffalino post race.
Sam Martz led the 26-car Modified field to the green flag and jumped out to lead the first five circuits of the 77-lap affair. After winning his heat race earlier in the night Jimmy Blewett would take the lead from Martz and set sail insearch of the Koczon Classic victory with Dominick Buffalino in tow, both utilizing Big Block power plants under the hood. Throughout the first stretch of the event it looked like Blewett and Buffalino were the class of the field with Mike Butler utilizing his spec-358 motor in the event entering the top three on lap 21.
Blewett would continue to lead the way through the first 23 laps when the first caution flew of the race for Lee Taylor Jr. who stopped the Moran No. 61m on the frontstretch.
On the restart, Blewett would continue to lead the way with Buffalino and Butler trying to chase him down and Ryan Krachun and Dakota Kessler entering the top five.
At lap 40 the second and final caution flew of the event for a fuel stop so that the teams utilizing Methanol had a chance to complete the duration of the event.
When the race restarted Blewett continued his dominance over Buffalino, Butler and Krachun with Davey Sammons now entering the top five as the race went on.
Over the last 20 laps, Blewett and Buffalino put on a show for the ages, battling it out for the lead lap after lap side by side all while weaving their way in and out of lapped traffic.
Unfortunately, disaster would strike for Blewett as he would break a fuel pump belt while leading with just three laps remaining, handing the lead and the win over to Buffalino. Mike Butler continued his stellar 2020 season at NES with a second place finish with Ryan Krachun, Davey Sammons and New York invader Mike Mahaney completing the top five.
“We knew we had something good. He (Blewett) had me, I don't know what broke. I was trying to stay with him. I think it was a little too close because when he broke, he got hit when he checked up. I feel bad for Jimmy, He was pretty good tonight. I hate to see him break but $7,700 is pretty good. I couldn’t do this without Todd (Neiheiser), he’s been in Florida since last September. I just wanna thank him for everything he does for me.” said Buffalino after the event. Buffalino ran his car so hard trying to catch Blewett it had started to overheat to the point he had to leave it running during Victory Lane ceremonies.
The Ice Less LLC Crate Modifieds were also on the program in a 27-lap main event paying $1,000 to the winner. Johnny Bangs took the lead from race long leader Justin Grosso on the last lap to score the victory. Grosso would have his best run to date in a Crate Modified finishing second with Ryan Simmons, Dan Fleming and Ryan Heim rounding out the top five.
Mike Fox won the 17-lap 4-Cylinder event that paid $500 to win.
The night was kicked off with a very special ceremony honoring “The New Egypt Nice Guy” Ron John Koczon, every driver in the pit area came out to the frontstretch to meet with members of the Koczon family including Ron John’s dad, Ron Koczon.
New Egypt Speedway is back in action this coming Saturday night August 2nd with the 2nd Annual Double Dip for the Vahlco Wheels Modifieds. The Modifieds will compete in Twin-20 lap feature events. The Larrys Hot Rods & Harley’s Northeast Wingless Sprint Cars presented by the Meat Shoppe, Sportsman, 4-Cylinders and Lyons Construction/Metal Fab Rookie Sportsman will complete the racing card. Adult (16+) admission will be $23, Seniors (65+) are $20 with Teens (12-15) & Military w/ID being $13 to get in with Kids 11 & Under being FREE!
