WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J. ~ Kyle Scisco of Jackson avoided an early race accident, raced to the lead on lap nine and powered on to win the 40 Modified stock car feature race at Wall Stadium Speedway Saturday night. It was the third victory of the 2022 season for the Scisco Kid.
The event started off on a rough note when Eddie McCarthy of Brick and Jackson’s Steven Reed tangled in turns three and four and slammed the guard rail. Both competitors were able to limp their race cars to the pit area before tempers flared between the two race teams. When the dust settled both cars were listed as disqualified on the official rundown.
Once back to action Howell’s Eric Lane was the leader of the test as Scisco soon advanced to second. Scisco was then able to drive in the outside lane to take the lead as Farmingdale’s Tommy Martino, Jr. dove to the inside of Eric Lane to take second. Martino then chased Scisco to the half way mark when a mechanical failure slowed his effort and caused the final caution of the test. At the checker flag is was Scisco, Blake Barney of Jackson, Pine Hill’s Joey Merlino, Tyler Truex of Egg Harbor Township and Holmdel’s Andrew Krause the top five.
“I just have to thank this team every week for giving me a great car,” Scisco said. “When we unloaded the car wasn’t all that good. But (car owner) Steve Ferarra just kept working until we got the car great! He just never gives up!”
Howell’s Kevin Davison raced to victory in the extra distance 50 lapper for the Sportsman cars, fighting off the competition from start to finish. Truex was constantly in Davison’s shadow in this one before finishing second, while Michael Carr of Pt. Pleasant, Jackson’s Jarret DiGiantomasso and Bryan O’Shea of Neptune City completed the top five.
Alonzo Morales of Burlington and Wall’s Sean Vuksanic were winners in twin 25-lap races for the Fast 4 division. Vuksanic, Neptune City’s Ryan Maher, Nicole Razzano of Cookstown and Mike Lavery of Orangeburg, N.Y. completed the top five in the first race. Lavery, Morales, Maher and Ryan Bilello of Neptune wrapped up the top five in the second race.
Tanner Jones of Glen Gardner took the lead near half way and raced to the win in the 20-lapper for the Legend Cars. Brick’s Brian Gardella, Peter Bruno of Little Silver, Waldwick’s Quinn Trimmer and Cody Critelli Howell were second through fifth.
Brick’s Brianna Page became a first time winner in the 25 lapper for the touring TQ Midgets.
