PREECE AND BLEWETT ARE WALL TURKEY DERBY MOD CHAMPS

WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J. ~ During a weekend that offered as many slow speed track drying laps by safety vehicles and a jet dryer as it did high speed laps by powerful racecars Ryan Preece of Berlin, Ct. and Jimmy Blewett of Howell were crowned Modified champions during the 42nd Turkey Derby stock car classic at Wall Stadium. Despite the fact that the third mile paved oval had to be dried on Friday morning, Saturday morning, late Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning all racing events were completed.

In Saturday’s Tour Type Modified 150-lapper Matt Hirschman of Northampton, Pa. led early until slipping into the pit area for tires. Holmdel’s Andrew Krause was then the leader before Dave Sapienza of Riverhead, N.Y. took over the top spot.

On lap 112 late on Saturday afternoon the rain started falling and it was over two hours before the track could be dried. Sapienza was still the leader when the race restarted but his tires were wearing which allowed Preece to take the lead late in the contest. Matt Hirschman came back from his pit stop for second with Doug Coby of Milford, Ct., Matawan’s Anthony Sesely and Ronnie Silk of Norwalk, Ct. wrapping up the top five.

The Wall/SK Modified 100-lapper was pushed back to Sunday after a late Saturday evening rain shower dampened the track. In the Wall/SK race track champion Steven Reed of Jackson was in control through lap 80 when worn tires forced him to spin. Derek Hopkinson of Toms River then moved to the front before Blewett, now an eight-time Turkey Derby winner, took over the lead in the final ten laps.

Blewett then powered to the win with Hirschman posting his second runner-up finish of the weekend. Howell’s Eric Mauriello, Trevor Alspach of Willingboro and Brick’s Shawna Ingraham wrapped up the top five. Reed recovered from a late race pit stop for sixth.

Dirt Modifieds raced in a 50-lapper that saw numerous battles and passes for position. Blewett won this Saturday evening event over Joey Payne, Andrew Krause, Dakota Kessler and Rich Coons.

On Friday afternoon Shannon Mongeau of Manchester won the 50-lapper for the Sportsman cars over Kenny Van Wickle of Manasquan, Andrew Krause, Howell’s Jason Caruso and Holmdel’s Dominic Casola. Mongeau then made it two in a row winning the 40-lap main event for the Factory Stocks. Union’s Joey Helberg, Joe Mongeau of Brick, Rob McCormick and Scott Riggleman wrapped up the top five.

Mike Alcaro of Milford won Friday’s 30-lapper for the Legend Cars over Brad VanHouten, Devin O’Connell, Kyle Ellwood and Joe Ryan Osborne. Also on Friday Brick’s Robert Sutphin won a 40-lap 4 Cylinder Stock race with Howell’s Darren Burdge, Brian Osborne of Brick, Mike Wahl and Christian LaCicero wrapping up the top five.

In a 50-lap Limited Late Model race that was pushed to Sunday by wet weather Shanon Mongeau took his third win of the weekend after a tooth and nail battle with former champion Brian Doyle. Brick’s Marc Rogers, Ray Minieri, John Kopf and Dave Hunt were second through fifth at the finish line.

Also on Sunday Joe Mongeau of Brick won the 50-lap Factory Stock main event over Joey Helberg, Shanon Mongeau, Marty Van Druten and Lee Allen. Brick’s Robert Sutphin won Sunday’s 70-lap 4 Cylinder Stock feature over Darren Burdge, Ronnie Mullen, Chris Thomas and Todd Dige. Sunday’s 20-lapper for the Legend Cars was won by Kyle Ellwood with Kevin Nowak, Brian Kelly, Joe Ryan Osborne and Brendon Bock wrapping up the top five.

Erick Rudolph won the main event for the Three Quarter Midgets.
