If you count yourself among those who have grown bored with the type of racing currently being seen in NASCAR Sprint Cup, and yearn for those days when race cars actually rubbed on one another, and got sideways, you should head out to Wall Stadium this Saturday night. The Jersey Shore track will play host to a race that will certainly see plenty of door-slamming, and wheel-banging, a 50-lap Street Stock feature.
Believe it or not, either for those too young to remember, or those old enough that their memory is fading, Sprint Cup cars actually used to have contact with each other. They didn't used to just put in laps, with a safe stopping distance between each other, waiting to actually only race with 10 laps to go. Drivers used to fight for position, on every lap, as if it was the last lap. They didn't wave a guy by because he was faster, they tried harder to keep him behind if they were faster.
The Street Stocks at Wall Stadium race much like the NASCAR stars of the past used to. They aren't afraid to rub on each other, in fact they enjoy it. They aren't afraid of trying to make a hole on the track where there isn't one. Put simply, they are exciting to watch. Now put them in a 50-lap race, double their normal distance, and you have got more action in one race than NASCAR may see all year.
Also on the schedule at Wall Stadium, this Saturday, are the Modifieds, in a 40-lap event. These open-wheel machines were the originators of the bump-and-run move, and you will probably see it more than once during the evening.
Factory Stocks and INEX Legend Cars will also compete in 25-lap races, so you are certain to get plenty of great racing action down the shore this Saturday.
Spectator gates open at 5pm, with racing starting at 7pm. For more information check out the track's website at http://www.wallspeedway.com/.
