Jimmy
Blewett of Howell won both the Tour Modified and
Freehold Ford Modified main events during the 44th
running of the Turkey Derby at Wall Stadium Speedway
while Holmdel's Andrew Krause took to honors in a
50-lap race for Dirt Modified stock cars. The Turkey
derby was run on Friday, Saturday and Sunday of
Thanksgiving weekend and hosted one of the largest
fields of competitors and grandstand crowds in
recent memory.
In the Tour Modified 150-lapper Blewett posted top
time in qualifying and rocketed to the lead at the
outset. Blewett wrestled with Matt Hirschman of
Northampton, Pa. early in the race before Krause
took over the runner-up spot and chased Blewett to
the finish. Brick's Ron Frees was in contention the
entire way before finishing third with Ryan Preece
and Kyle Elwood wrapping up the top five.
Blewett also set fast time in Freehold Ford Modified
qualifying and again rocketed to the lead at the
outset. Blewett did wrestle with Jackson's Steven
Reed late in the race as the duo charged to the
front after mid race pit stops. Toms River's Derek
Hopkinson led this one for 20-laps when Blewett and
a host of others stopped for a two tire change.
Blewett finally returned to the lead for good late
in the race as Howell's Eric Mauriello charged into
second. Reed, Hirschman and Timmy Solomito wrapped
up the top five.
These wins took a lot of preparation, Blewett
said. I've got the best crew in racing. They put a
lot of time in at the shop. The Tour Modified win is
real special because I used a car that was my
brother's. When he passed away we sold this car and
a lot of good drivers have raced it. We got the car
back recently and the crew worked hard to rebuild
it.
Krause won the 50-lap Dirt Modified main after a
race-long battle with early leader Ed Dachenhausen.
The duo sliced through lapped traffic almost the
entire distance and a quick move by Krause in lapped
traffic late in the race earned him the win. Jeff
Richardson, Danny Bouc and Roger Labreche completed
the top five.
These dirt cars are a lot of fun but also a lot of
work, Krause said. I had some brake problems and
had to pump the pedal in every turn just to slow the
car down.
Turkey Derby offered 14 feature races plus
qualifying as well as a Demolition Derby. The
feature race results are listed in the box score
