WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J. — Three-time Wall Stadium Modified stock car driving champion Steven Reed raced in contention for most of the season opening 40-lap main event to put himself in the right place to take the win in the final few laps of the Saturday night main event.
Saturday night’s race saw Tommy Martino, Jr., Jimmy Blewett, Tyler Truex, Andrew Krause and Reed wrestle in the top five for most of the event. A lap 38 restart saw Blewett and Truex, who made up the front row, tangle and spin exiting turn two while Reed was able to dart past the carnage and then race on to the win.
Martino, Krause, Dom Fattaruso and Eddie McCarthy, wrapped up the top five.
“We had a good top five car tonight and the rest was up to me,” said Reed. “It gave me the chance to be in the spot I was in to take a win. Thanks to Harry and everyone on the car, we were there to take the win.”
