WALL TOWNSHIP SPEEDWAY UP FOR NORTHEAST FOCUS CARS; OSWEGO FEATURES TO
SMITH, ABOLD

INDIANAPOLIS – USAC Northeast Ford Focus Midget Car Series drivers head to
New Jersey for the first time in series history Saturday with a race at Wall
Township Speedway in Belmar.

Only 11 points separate series leader Sean Carman, Ryan Smith and Jeff Abold
heading into the event at the central New Jersey track, a battle that has
seen four different point leaders already this season.

Smith overtook Abold in the standings following the first race Saturday at
Oswego Speedway in New York, leading the final 22 laps of the 25-lap
feature. Trailing Smith were early season point leader Nick Wean, Aaron
Wall, Carman and Jesse State. The race was a rescheduled event from May 13.

But Carman’s third-place finish in the second feature gave him the lead by
five points over Smith. Abold won the race, ahead of early race leader Shawn
Gosselin, Carman, Ginny Quinones and Wall. Smith finished eighth.
