Racing fans were excited Saturday for the first races of the season at Wall Stadium Speedway.

Those in the stands are being required to wear masks and keep a social distance from others.

News 12’s Kristie Keleshian spoke with longtime announcer Earl Krause about the reopening.

“The overall mood is terrific. Everybody is so enthusiastic,” he said. “You can just see it in the pit area, you can see it with the fans standing outside waiting to get in.”

Tickets can be found at the raceway's website. Season tickets are not being offered this year.
