The unpredictable and thrilling racing action of the North East Enduro Tour Series (N.E.E.T.S.) will take to the high banks of the Wall Township Speedway at least three times during the 2009 racing season, track promoter Jim Morton has announced. All Saturday evenings, the N.E.E.T.S. racers will race on the third mile oval on May 30, July 11 and August 22.

The three dates will feature the N.E.E.T.S. Big Car Division, featuring 8 and 6 cylinder engines, and the Small Car division, showcasing 4 cylinder power. Both divisions will race in their own 100 lap main event. In addition, the N.E.E.T.S. Trux Division will also see action in a scheduled 50-lap contest. If dates can be worked out later in the season, additional N.E.E.T.S. events may be added to the schedule.

"We are very happy to be coming to the famous high banks at Wall in 2009," N.E.E.T.S. promoter Joe Cutri said. "This gives us a great and diverse schedule. We have eight races on the dirt at the Grandview Speedway in Pennsylvania and now these races on the pavement at Wall. Car counts are looking good and this gives racers even more incentive to come out and compete."

"Enduro racing can be a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to seeing it at Wall," speedway promoter Jim Morton said. "I think that this is a great way to go racing in a tough economy. We should be able to present exciting racing at a very affordable price for the fans here at Wall."
