WALL TWP., NJ-Confirming rumors of the facility’s demise, the current owners of the Wall Township Speedway say they have closed the facility, ending nearly 60 years of auto racing at the site. What has not been revealed is what will become of the 55-acre Monmouth County site along Route 34 here.

“Without getting into all of the whys and wherefores, please know that we, as a partnership group holding four equal 25% shares, did everything in our power these past six years to provide top-quality short-track racing and keep the doors open,” says Timothy Shinn, managing member of the group. The other partners are Fred Archer, Joseph Sanzari and the Creamer family.

“We have made numerous attempts to create a scenario which would enable us to continue with the Speedway operation, all to no avail,” Shinn says. “We did everything in our power to continue to heritage which was always associated with Wall Stadium. My partners and I are left with no alternative than to close.”
