PREECE AND
BLEWETT ARE
WALL TURKEY DERBY MOD CHAMPS |
During
a weekend that offered as many slow speed track
drying laps by safety vehicles and a jet dryer as it
did high speed laps by powerful racecars Ryan Preece
of Berlin, Ct. and Jimmy Blewett of Howell were
crowned Modified champions during the 42nd Turkey
Derby stock car classic at Wall Stadium. Despite the
fact that the third mile paved oval had to be dried
on Friday morning, Saturday morning, late Saturday
afternoon and Sunday morning all racing events were
completed.
In Saturday’s Tour Type Modified 150-lapper Matt
Hirschman of Northampton, Pa. led early until
slipping into the pit area for tires. Holmdel’s
Andrew Krause was then the leader before Dave
Sapienza of Riverhead, N.Y. took over the top spot.
On lap 112 late on Saturday afternoon the rain
started falling and it was over two hours before the
track could be dried. Sapienza was still the leader
when the race restarted but his tires were wearing
which allowed Preece to take the lead late in the
contest. Matt Hirschman came back from his pit stop
for second with Doug Coby of Milford, Ct., Matawan’s
Anthony Sesely and Ronnie Silk of Norwalk, Ct.
wrapping up the top five.
The Wall/SK Modified 100-lapper was pushed back to
Sunday after a late Saturday evening rain shower
dampened the track. In the Wall/SK race track
champion Steven Reed of Jackson was in control
through lap 80 when worn tires forced him to spin.
Derek Hopkinson of Toms River then moved to the
front before Blewett, now an eight-time Turkey Derby
winner, took over the lead in the final ten laps.
Blewett then powered to the win with Hirschman
posting his second runner-up finish of the weekend.
Howell’s Eric Mauriello, Trevor Alspach of
Willingboro and Brick’s Shawna Ingraham wrapped up
the top five. Reed recovered from a late race pit
stop for sixth.
Dirt Modifieds raced in a 50-lapper that saw
numerous battles and passes for position. Blewett
won this Saturday evening event over Joey Payne,
Andrew Krause, Dakota Kessler and Rich Coons.
On Friday afternoon Shannon Mongeau of Manchester
won the 50-lapper for the Sportsman cars over Kenny
Van Wickle of Manasquan, Andrew Krause, Howell’s
Jason Caruso and Holmdel’s Dominic Casola. Mongeau
then made it two in a row winning the 40-lap main
event for the Factory Stocks. Union’s Joey Helberg,
Joe Mongeau of Brick, Rob McCormick and Scott
Riggleman wrapped up the top five.
Mike Alcaro of Milford won Friday’s 30-lapper for
the Legend Cars over Brad VanHouten, Devin
O’Connell, Kyle Ellwood and Joe Ryan Osborne. Also
on Friday Brick’s Robert Sutphin won a 40-lap 4
Cylinder Stock race with Howell’s Darren Burdge,
Brian Osborne of Brick, Mike Wahl and Christian
LaCicero wrapping up the top five.
In a 50-lap Limited Late Model race that was pushed
to Sunday by wet weather Shanon Mongeau took his
third win of the weekend after a tooth and nail
battle with former champion Brian Doyle. Brick’s
Marc Rogers, Ray Minieri, John Kopf and Dave Hunt
were second through fifth at the finish line.
Also on Sunday Joe Mongeau of Brick won the 50-lap
Factory Stock main event over Joey Helberg, Shanon
Mongeau, Marty Van Druten and Lee Allen. Brick’s
Robert Sutphin won Sunday’s 70-lap 4 Cylinder Stock
feature over Darren Burdge, Ronnie Mullen, Chris
Thomas and Todd Dige. Sunday’s 20-lapper for the
Legend Cars was won by Kyle Ellwood with Kevin
Nowak, Brian Kelly, Joe Ryan Osborne and Brendon
Bock wrapping up the top five.
Eric Rudolph won the main event for the Three
Quarter Midgets.
