New Jersey race fans were treated to great weather, and perhaps even better racing action, on the first of the two days following Thanksgiving that make up the Turkey Derby at Wall Stadium. Five feature events, and time trials for the Wall/SK Modifieds were run under sunny skies, and mild temperatures.
The Sportsman feature event saw veteran driver Kevin Eyres hold off the young and talented Alspach brothers, Zach and Trevor, who finished second and third respectively. Robert Sutphin and Andrew Krause rounded out the top five.
Canada's Stewart Friesen captured the dirt car event over John McClelland, Joey Payne, Steve Folk, and Dominick Buffalino.
James Hayes took the Late Model feature, while the Factory Stocks event was captured by Wall Stadium regular Shannon Mongeau. Mike Alcaro was the winner of the Legends feature.
The time trials for the Wall/SK Modifieds saw two expected names at the top, and one surprise a close third. Matt Hirschman, fresh off his North-South Shootout win, posted the fastest time, followed closely by Jimmy Blewett. Wall Stadium young gun, Roger Coss, was impressive in posting the third quickest time. Another Wall regular Chris Hamilton was fourth fastest followed by NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour competitor Doug Coby, who had the fifth best lap.
Saturday should see even more of the great weather, and even better racing, as the "Tour Modifieds" will compete in a 150-lap event.
Wall is where you will want to be, this Saturday, if you are a true NJ race fan.
