Jimmy Blewett Returns to Wall Stadium in Race Honoring his Brother

  When the Wall Modifieds take to the track this Saturday night at the Jersey Shore speedway there will be a driver not seen there in awhile, yet very well-known to all in attendance. This driver will come to win, like he always does, only this time he will have a little more motivation. His name is Jimmy Blewett, and the race he is returning to compete in is held in tribute to his brother, the John Blewett III Memorial Race.
  Jimmy Blewett has not competed at Wall Stadium, all year, choosing to take up the new challenge of driving a dirt car at nearby New Egypt Speedway. The Howell, NJ driver has run a few NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour races in 2011, but for the most part has spent most Saturdays at New Egypt. However, with New Egypt not running the Big-Block Modifieds he competes in, and Wall running this race on the same weekend, he almost seemed destined to compete.
  This will certainly not be an easy race for Blewett to win, as he has done here so many times in the past. Not just because of the competition he will face from drivers like Anthony Sesely, Chas Okerson, or Tim Arre. He will also have to face returning to a place his brother, John, and he, literally grew up at. Perhaps hardest of all, though, may be running down the backstretch of the high-banked oval, passing over the III painted there in honor of his brother 76 times, as he tries to win for not just himself, but the entire Blewett family.
  "Showtime" as Jimmy Blewett is known to many, is a driver much like Sprint Cup competitor Kyle Busch. It seems you either love his aggressive driving style or you hate it. However, one thing is certain should Jimmy Blewett be all over the bumper of the leader with five laps to go, everyone in the place will be rooting for him, whether they admit it or not. And should he actually manage to win, there may not be a dry eye in the place.
  If you are truly a New Jersey race fan then you know how much the Blewett family has given to this sport. Money, excitement, driver opportunities, and most of all a grandson, son, brother, and father, John III. He was loved by many, missed by more, and he always had a love for Wall Stadium. He has been gone for four years, yet it seems so much longer.
  With no disrespect to the other racetracks running this Saturday night, and whether you have vowed for one reason or another to not return to Wall Stadium, if you knew John III, then you know this is where he would want us to all be. Where many of us saw our first race, and grew to know many here better than we know our own family. And get to see a great race in his honor while we are there.
