DOWNS FORD RETURNS AS WALL STADIUM MODIFIED SERIES SPONSOR FOR 2015
WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J. ~ Downs Ford will return as the Modified stock car division’s series sponsor at Wall Stadium Speedway for the 2015 season. Located on Route 37 in nearby Toms River, N.J. the dealership not only offers new Ford trucks and cars and quality pre-owned vehicles but is also New Jersey’s largest Ford Motorsports distributor.
“Frank Delia and Brian Worth have become very familiar faces here at the speedway,” office administrator Diane Krause said. “They have been very hands on with their sponsorship of the Modifieds and a real pleasure to deal with. They added a lot of excitement here last year and they have some exciting plans for the new season.”
Delia mentioned a few plans.
“We will be involved right here at the track often like we were last season,” Delia said. “The racing people at Wall are great and that makes this entire deal work. We have some plans which include a Proud to be American night on May 20 when we plan to invite some firefighters to be honored and have a fun night at the track.”
Downs Ford also sponsors the No. 14 Modified of Eric Mauriello and the No. 11 Sportsman car of Kenny Van Wickle.
Although additional division sponsorships will be announced soon sponsorships for some divisional series are available.
The 2015 weekly Saturday night campaign gets the green flag on April 25 but racers in all divisions will have the opportunity to test out their new and rebuilt equipment on the two Saturdays (April 11 and 18) leading up to the opener from 11:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. both days.
