WALL, N.J. — Kyle Scisco jumped to the lead early and often stretched an impressive advantage before winning the 40-lap Modified stock car main event at Wall Stadium Speedway Saturday.
It was the first win of the year for the Jackson resident who is participating in select races this season.
Scisco jumped to the lead at the outset of the test while Ron Frees ran second. Carsten DiGiantomasso advanced to third before a lap 16 caution and then raced into second with an outside lane restart following the restart.
DiGiantomasso then chased Scisco until a series of late race cautions closed the top runners. Scisco then held off DiGiantomasso through late race restarts to take the win. Frees, title chase leader Derek Hopkinson and Eddie McCarthy wrapped up the top five.
“Fast time in qualifying and starting up front added up to a good night,” Scisco said in the winner’s circle. “We haven’t raced as much as we’d like this year because (car-owner) Steve’s wife Donna Ferrara has been pretty sick. I’m happy to say she is doing much better so here we are. This win is for her!”
Bryan O’Shea charged to the front early and took the lead just before halfway to win the companion 25-lapper for the Factory Stocks.
After working long hours to repair damage from a qualifying wreck the week before, Kevin Davison returned to win the 40-lapper for the Sportsman cars.
Nate Divone and Ryan Kuhlthau served up a spirited battle before Divone won the Legend Cars 25 lapper.
