WALL TOWNSHIP, NJ- The Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic ATQMRA fueled by VP Racing Fuels will race under a Twin 20 Lap Feature format for this weekend’s Garden State Classic at Wall Stadium Speedway.
For the first time since 2017, the ATQMRA will run two feature events in the same evening. The organization’s previous twin feature event also occurred at Wall Stadium Speedway.
While Hoosier Racing Tire continues to make progress on batch orders dating back to last year’s supply shortages, the ATQMRA has elected to take advantage of a unique opportunity to fairly police and reduce the amount of tires used over the course of multiple racing events.
“The Twin 20 format is an initiative to not only manage our temporary tire shortage, but to reduce travel costs for our teams considering our current state of inflation,” states ATQMRA Vice President and competitor Kyle Taraska.
“This wouldn’t be possible without the great collaboration between our Board of Directors and the Krause Family (Wall Stadium Speedway). We are all excited to see how this format goes and will assess the results in the weeks following.”
Teams will be required to run the same set of tires for both features on Saturday, June 4th. With two features being run on the same day, the ATQMRA’s originally scheduled June 11th weekend at Wall Stadium Speedway has been cancelled.
With no heat races being run this weekend, a pill draw will set the field for eligible drivers (based on owners points) for the first feature. The winner of the first feature will pick a pill from the on-track victory lane announcing the amount of inverted cars for the second feature.
