WALL TOWNSHIP, NJ - Tyler Wagner earned his first career ATQMRA feature victory at Wall Stadium Speedway this weekend, and second overall of his career.

Tyler Wagner, who came into the night second in season points at Wall Stadium, had the dominant car of the evening. Although Wagner started in 6th, he sliced through the field and was challenging for the lead by lap three.

Don Zrinski held the early lead with Josh Patterson a close second but a couple laps later Wagner passed them both on the same lap to take the lead and was never contested again.

Behind Wagner the battles for position were animated. On lap five Buddy Sload took second from Zrinski and stayed close to Wagner.

A caution near halfway for a multicar incident between Mark Yoder and Steve Craig bunched the field back together, giving Sload another shot at the lead. On the restart, Sload battled on the outside of Wagner, but Wagner won the drag race and kept the lead.

At this point Tyler Ferris began challenging Sload for second. As they came to the checkered flag Wagner took a comfortable win with Sload second and Tyler Ferris in third.

LEHIGHTON, PA - Josh Patterson, of East Greenville, PA earned his first career Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic ATQMRA fueled by VP Racing Fuels, feature win this weekend at Mahoning Valley Speedway.

Patterson (#02 Bob Hilbert Sportswear, BELFOR Property Restoration, United Rental) jumped to the lead early, methodically working his way around front row starters Mark Yoder (#75 Ames Construction and Steve Craig (#55 Craig Bulk Carriers).

As Patterson earned the early race lead, championship points leader Buddy Sload (#36 Spitfire Chassis) made an inside charge to second. Early race contact with Kyle Taraska (#22 Boyd Speed Shop) and Craig made for a tense and exciting three-wide moment on the opening lap.

As the dust settled, it was a Patterson-Sload 1-2 with Matt Janisch (#51J Yuhas Chassis) of Nazareth, PA, making a hard charge forward from 6th to 3rd in the running order.

As Patterson maintained a commanding lead, the racing remained tight, for second between Sload and Janisch.

After losing ground early, Taraska made a late race charge on those ahead battling for the podium. Although Taraska ran out of laps to enter the battle, Janisch was able to snooker Sload, entering turn 1 in the closing stages to take over second.

Patterson, ultimately went on to earn the victory, the first of his career with the ATQMRA. Matt Janisch finished 2nd, making it a Yuhas Chassis, 1-2 finish.

Buddy Sload, held on for third, with Kyle Taraska finishing fourth and Tyler Wagner rounding out the top five.

Avery Stoehr, Steve Craig and Mark Yoder, rounded out the field.

In a career that began in 2007, in quarter midgets, Patterson has continued to pursue his dreams and ambitions of a race car driver, moving up the ranks into TQ Midget racing, in 2022. Already a champion in the wingless division, Patterson has earned a commanding lead in 2024 ATQMRA Rookie of the Year honors this weekend. The JX3 BELFOR Property Restoration, Bob Hilbert Sportswear Racing Team, is led by Jeff Horvath and Josh’s grandfather, Jeff (Pappy). Patterson has a strong support system from the remainder of his family and friends as well.

Patterson, is the 8th unique winning driver, in 10 ATQMRA features this year. Furthermore, Patterson is the 3rd first time winner this season!

In an evening with a 80% chance of rain, the ATQMRA extends their appreciation to the Carlino Family and the staff at Mahoning Valley Speedway for their commitment to completing a racing program. Furthermore, series officials extends their appreciation to those who took the gamble to compete at Mahoning Valley Speedway, under a dismal forecast. The show went on, and those in attendance witnessed another exciting ATQMRA event.

Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic ATQMRA fueled by VP Racing Fuels feature winner, Josh Patterson, championship points leader Buddy Sload, and the remainder of the strong list of competitors, will return to Wall Stadium Speedway, this Saturday September 14th for the 7th event of the Hamer Heating and Cooling Hometrack Shootout and 11th feature event of the 2024 season.

WALL TOWNSHIP, NJ- For the second consecutive feature event, Ryan Tidman of Southampton, PA is your Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic ATQMRA fueled by VP Racing Fuels feature at Wall Stadium Speedway.

The ATQMRA was honored to be invited, to the annual Cliff Krause Memorial this season, as teams competed in a special 27-lap feature.

Steve Craig had a strong showing throughout the early portion, leading the opening laps before Ryan Tidman (#99 Martha Baker D.M.D, CheckerWon Manufacturing, Fidge Factor Website Design) grabbed the top spot on lap 7. Tidman charged through the field from the 5th starting position, as Buddy Sload (#36 Spitfire Chassis) followed the #99 car to the front, jumping from 7th to 2nd.

Major championship implications took place just past the halfway mark on lap-14, as a mechanical issue plagued Tyler Wagner’s (#51 Lindblad Badger), causing the team to finish shotgun on the field. The single car incident brought out the only caution of the evening.

On the single file restart, Tidman maintained control of the field, as Buddy Sload was able to remain within proximity of Tidman from 2nd. Steve Craig continued to fight hard for a podium spot, as he and Kyle Taraska battled hard for position. Taraska would eventually overtake the position but neither Taraska’s or Sload’s, efforts were not enough to chase down Tidman.

Kyle Taraska (#22 Boyd Speed Shop) and Tyler Ferris (#7 Hamer Heating and Cooling) won their respective heat race events, to start the evening of racing. Per the handicap qualifying system, Mark Yoder (#75 Ames Construction) earned the pole position for the 25-lap feature.

Yoder’s lead was short lived, as Ryan Tidman (#99 CheckerWon Manufacturing, Martha Baker D.M.D, Fidge Factor Website Design) stormed to the lead entering the third turn, on the second lap. Champion points leader Buddy Sload (#36 Spitfire Racing) would soon follow suit, in second.

A near major incident took place on lap three as Kyle Taraska got loose entering the third corner from fifth. Taraska slid through the grass but kept his car straight. The field of cars took evasive action, especially Kyle Herve (#24 CARS Auto Body, Brunswick West Land Surveyors) to avoid further incident.

The race stayed and continued green, until a caution for debris flew with five laps remaining in the event. A cone signifying the ATQMRA restart zone was kicked up onto the racing surface.

The restart gave the field one last shot at Five-Time Champion, Tidman, who held on to earn his second victory of 2024!

Buddy Sload, extended his championship points lead, in both overall standings and the Hamer Heating and Cooling Hometrack Shootout standings, with a second-place finish. Sload was the evening’s biggest mover of the race, charging up through the field from seventh.

Tyler Ferris earned his second consecutive ATQMRA podium finish, with another third this past weekend. The Hamer Motorsports Group continues to put consistent runs together, as they continue to knock on the door of their first feature victory. Ferris also finished third in one of the duel modified features later Saturday evening.

Mark Yoder raced amongst the top five competitors all evening, earning a strong fourth place. Tyler Wagner (#51 Lindblad Badger) started sixth and finished fifth. Although Wagner lost small ground on championship leader Sload, the #51 team remains in striking distance with five races remaining on the points schedule.

Billy Cole and Don Zrinski rounded out the field of a dozen TQ Midgets to take the green.

Ryan Tidman, continues an impressive string of dominance for Paul Dodorico Racing, dating back to-late 2022. Although Tidman is the first driver to win multiple features (both with PDR) this season, Saturday’s victory was the third victory of the season for Paul Dodorico Racing as Jeff Kot won the opener for the #99 in April.

The Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic ATQMRA fueled by VP Racing Fuels, in conjunction with The Hamer Heating and Cooling Hometrack Shootout returns to Wall Stadium Speedway on Saturday, August 24th for the 27-lap Cliff Krause Memorial.

WALL TOWNSHIP, NJ - Buddy Sload returned to victory lane this weekend, at Wall Stadium Speedway, winning the prestigious, JJ Lane Memorial for the third time in his career!

The Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic ATQMRA fueled by VP Racing Fuels, in conjunction with the Hamer Heating and Cooling Hometrack Shootout, returned to Wall Stadium Speedway this past weekend for the 5th Annual JJ Lane Memorial. A special night, with a special qualifying format, capped off with a popular pre-race autograph session, makes this a continued can’t-miss event for ATQMRA fans and competitors.

To the delight of the fans in attendance, an invert of 8 was drawn by pole sitter Tidman, ensuring an exciting feature. By the pick of a pill, Tidman moved back four rows at the start and Josh Patterson (#02 Bob Hilbert Sportswear, Belfor Property restoration) inherited the pole for the 30-lap feature.

Matt Janisch (#51J Yuhas Chassis) made his first start of the year at Wall Stadium Speedway, and third overall on the tour, this weekend. Janisch made the most of his effort in the early going, jumping to the lead over Patterson. By the second lap, Sload (#36 Spitfire Chassis), methodically wrestled his way from fifth to second, while Tyler Ferris (#7 Hamer Heating and Cooling) settled into third.

The first and only caution of the evening occurred on lap five, when Mark Yoder (#75 Ames Construction) got together with Josh Patterson for eighth. Yoder unfortunately experienced a brake issue, ending his race early. Yoder earned a $100 bonus courtesy of Motor Cars International, as the Hard Luck award of the race recipient. Patterson continued to race, restarting at the tail end of the field.

Sload wasted no time on the restart, pulling the crossover on Janisch for the lead. As Sload earned the top position, pole sitter and pre-race favorite Ryan Tidman, entered the picture for the lead as well. Tidman worked Ferris on the outside, and Janisch on the inside, as he soon had his eyes set on Sload for the lead.

It was a tight battle to the end, as lapped traffic became a factor in the 17-car field. Relatively speaking, you could have nearly thrown a blanket over the top-5, who all ran their fastest times of the race within less than a tenth of a second of each other.

It was ultimately Buddy Sload, who was able to hang on, scoring the victory in the JJ Lane Memorial! Sload earned a cool $600 to win, which was an increased winner's share, thanks to AC’s Lawn Service LLC.

Ryan Tidman put on a fantastic drive from eighth to second, earning the $100 Hard Charger Award Bonus courtesy of Motor Cars International.

Tyler Ferris earned a strong podium finish for the Hamer Motorsports Group, finishing in third. This was Ferris’ second top-5 finish in consecutive ATQMRA events.

Wagner, who entered the race as the series points leader, now finds himself eight points behind Sload in overall touring standings after Saturday’s event. Furthermore, for the second occurrence this year, Sload and Wagner enter the next race tied in Hamer Heating and Cooling Hometrack Shootout standings.

Kyle Taraska (#22 Boyd Speed Shop), finished in fifth. Taraska was also the recipient of the $100 bonus for being scored fifth on lap-28, honoring the-late Wall Stadium Sportsman Bill Brice Jr. The award was sponsored by NAPA Auto Parts - Brice Auto Supply.

As a note, a private donor sponsored bonus awards to the top-5 finishers as well.

After leading early, Matt Janisch settled into a sixth-place finish. Jeff Kot (#95 Behrents Performance Warehouse) made his return to the ATQMRA this weekend, and back in his own Badger 750cc TQ. Kot gave his freshened build a strong season debut in seventh.
