News 12\u2019s Down the Shore straps in as the roar of engines continues to draw fans to Wall Stadium, a Jersey Shore tradition now in its 76th year.<\/p>\n
Known as “The Roar at the Shore,” the historic track has spent decades entertaining racing enthusiasts and crowning champion drivers.<\/p>\n
News 12\u2019s Jim Murdoch reports the action is fast and intense, with drivers navigating one of the most unique short tracks in the region.<\/p>\n
“The drivers race differently,” said Wall Stadium announcer Earl Krause. “This is more of a handling, like a finesse track, because things happen so quickly.”<\/p>\n
Over the years, the speed of the track has led to some dramatic crashes, but drivers continue returning to test their skills against the competition.<\/p>\n
Krause says one of the track’s defining features is its steep banking.<\/p>\n
“It’s the high banks,” he said. “Thirty degrees of banking, and that is very rare for a short track.”<\/p>\n
Success at Wall Stadium requires more than just speed.<\/p>\n
“Drivers have to think two, three corners ahead,” Krause said. “It’s a combination of driving fast and also driving with your head, picking out your moves.”<\/p>\n
