1992, that was John Blewett III running the 76, right? I was there but only 5 yrs old. My old man had my brothers and I always pulling for the Blewetts
Oh now I see what you mean. In the video, "NASCAR type modifieds" refers to the practically unlimited modifieds that raced at Wall Stadium up until that time. After that race the modifieds moved to Flemington and Wall Stadium switched over to what became known as the MAD (modified affordable division) modifieds. MAD had a lot of rules that were intended to make modified racing more affordable. It seemed to work pretty well because we had fields of 30 cars. There was a consolation race just about every week and a few guys didn't make the feature. The current wall modifieds are kind of a hybrid mix of MAD and the old unlimited modifieds. They have rules but they're not as restrictive as the MAD rules were. Current weekly car count varies from about 12 to 18 modifieds most of the time.
Ruggerio Did run some races at war but normally just Turkey Derby and some other special events. He did drive the Dick Barney 14 at Flemington for at least a season. That was a really good time. We had Siscone, Pauch, Ruggerio, John Blewett III and Kenny woolley.
In the first crash I think I see the Teddy bear poold car involved. I think that is Reggie Ruggerio. I'm pretty sure I have a still picture of that car in the pits at this race that I took myself.

Yes it is…
I thought JBIII was in the #5 and JB Jr. was in #76.
That was JBIII'S first Modified race. JB, Jr. Is in the No. 76, III in the 5. @@jonathanmaylott6273

I'm not sure but in this race it might have been Jimmy in the 5. Not sure when I'll talk to him again but if I remember, I'll ask...
Wait, im slightly confused, dont the nascar modifieds still occasionally race at wall? Like im pretty sure i went to a nascar modified event there
Yes there have been some nascar tour races at wall and they have nascar modifies at the Turkey Derby, along with the wall modifieds

The thumbnail picture doesn't look like Wall. Was that at New Egypt? 659 is Eddie Bohn, right?
Actually, now I think it's Flemington
The thumbnail was the new cavalier that was the backup car for the 1992 season. That was most likely flemington in the background
It says 1992 but didn't Nascar go to double nurf bars much earlier like 89 or 90.🤔
Wall rules didn't allow double nerf bars until much later (95ish).
Was the 44 Reggie Reg or a local Wall car?
at end it said rick fuller reg was full time at riverside we loved to hate him he won so often miss it
The maroon 44 was Wall regular Joe Merlino

Reggie was in the white 44
