3:50

YELLOW FLAG (Lap 27): Joe Cocca spun off of turn two to bring the caution flag out once again.

3:49

3:32

Hot laps are completed for the Sportsman Modifieds. We are just a few moments from going green for the first feature race of the day.

3:31

Summer weekly shows do pretty well for car counts, but this is a special event so it draws cars from all over the Northeast.

3:31

Comment From Kevin Shaw

Wow! These are huge car counts! Was always aware of the Turkey Derby, but never knew it attracted such large numbers of race cars, particularly being so cold during late November in New Jersey. Do the summer weekly shows draw comparable numbers?

3:28

We will have that answer tomorrow morning after the driver’s meeting. Today’s driver’s meeting only addressed qualifying procedures for cars that are racing today.

3:28

Comment From Cold in CT

What is the qualifying procedure for the mods tomorrow? How many out of time and how many from the consi?

Comment From Guest

DO U HAVE ANY SPORTSMEN SPEEDS FROM PRACTICE

12:07

This race track is so unique. It is a 1/3-mile oval with 30 degrees of banking. The best way to describe it for those that have never been is that it’s almost like a miniature Dover International Speedway (DE). Wall Stadium Speedway may have steeper banking than Dover, but the way the cars rise up out of the banking off the corners and dive down into the banking going into the turn is very similar to Dover.

The track is situated in a bowl. The upper level of the grandstands is actually ground level with the track located below it.

It’s a beautiful, unique racing facility that provides fantastic racing each and every Saturday night throughout the summer.

12:04

Comment From Jeff

Tour Modified practice has come to an end. Danny Bohn was fastest in that session.

11:40

We don’t have live timing and scoring, but when Mayfield was running near Preece and Matt Hirschman he was able to hang right with them. He’s in cars prepared by Dave Brigati from Long Island, and his cars are usually pretty quick.

11:40

Comment From Bud

How is Mayfield, competitive, ?

11:39

It appears that Ryan Preece has jumped up to second on the scoring pylon, but Danny Bohn still is fastest.

11:31

Danny Bohn appears to be leading this session so far. Jimmy Blewett and Eric Mauriello follow on the board.

11:25

11:24

Blewett is running the famed 7ny for Tommy Baldwin Racing in the Tour Modified feature this weekend. He’s a teammate to Ryan Preece, just as he was last year.

11:24

Timmy Solomito, Matt Hirschman, Jeremy Mayfield, Pitkat, and Jimmy Blewett are now on track.
