Many of you know how much I am looking forward to this Saturday night at Wall Stadium. There are many reasons why, and I will put together a list of those for tomorrow. However, I really thought this latest reason deserved a post of it's own.
Wall Stadium will be honoring a man that has done so much for the sport of autoracing in New Jersey. Don Ling, a man that has seemingly been involved longer than he has been alive, in so many ways. He has been a car owner, a sponsor of so many race cars I bet he even loses count during the season, and most importantly a friend who can be counted on in a time of need.
This man is one of the reasons, a very important one, that Wall Stadium still exists today. He and John Blewett, made sure there was a Turkey Derby in 2010. He was also very instrumental in the deal that currently has the Krause family promoting the speedway every weekend, something no one else wanted to do.
Don Ling will be honored in a number of ways this Saturday night, including a large card that can be signed by drivers, and fans alike. There will also be a surprise for him, that the fans will be able to share in, that you won't want to miss.
So if you were on the fence about whether to attend or not. Let me just say this, wouldn't you like the chance to thank both the Blewett family, and Don Ling for all that they have done, for not only Wall Stadium, but NJ racing in general?
This Saturday is your chance, don't miss it. I know I won't!
