By Brian Liskai Attica, Ohio – It’s often said in dirt track racing it takes a lot of things falling your way to end up in victory lane. Such was the case for Gibsonburg’s Craig Mintz on Friday at Attica Raceway Park on Edward Jones of Clyde/Mike Neill Financial Advisor Night.

The two time track champion benefitted from a good pill draw to start on the pole of the O’Reilly Auto Parts 410 Sprint feature, and then the caution flags fell at opportune times as he led all 30 laps for his first win of the season at Attica. It was win #13 in Mintz’ career and times him for eighth on the track’s all time win list with Tim Shaffer and Frankie Kerr.

The win also puts him in position for a top three finish in the Kistler Racing Products Fremont Attica Sprint Title (FAST) Championship Series Presented by KS Sales and Service. With his fourth place finish, coupled with problems for Cap Henry, Byron Reed is set to earn an unprecedented third Kistler Cup and its $10,000 pay day.

Also, with his second place finish, former track champion Dean Jacobs gained more valuable points in his quest for the $10,000 Attica track title with only two point races left.

“I wish my wife and my baby girl were here. But work is first…wife had to work. My crew…if it wasn’t for them it would take a long time for us to be here. Stuart Williams gave us a trailer to use. My dad, Kevin, Hoagie, Sam and Rich….they do all the work, I just drive the race car,” said Mintz of his Real Geese Decoys, Design Graphics Group, Sennebogen backed #09.

“I saw someone coming out of four on the last lap. I was struggling…I was bleeding bad. The shorter runs helped. The bleeders came in and knocked some air out of the tires. I was good for about two laps and after that I was just trying to get a good run and not miss the top. I knew Dean (Jacobs) was coming…he’s probably the best driver I’ve seen on the bottom. Things fell right for us tonight,” added Mintz, thanking other sponsors, KS Sales and Service, Linder’s Speed Equipment, GF1 Chassis, Dave Story Equipment Repair, Erie Shore Propane, and Kistler Engines.

Doug Drown continued his awesome season, taking the lead from Rocky Owens with an outside move on a restart with two laps to go and driving to his sixth win of the season at Attica in the Summit Racing Equipment UMP Late Models. Coupled with his six wins at Wayne County Speedway, he not only sits atop the Attica point standings but Wayne County and the Attica Raceway Park/Wayne County Speedway Late Model Series Championship points. Drown now has 12 career wins at Attica and sits third on the track’s all time win list.

“He (Owens) was leaving just enough room…man it was getting hairy…it was great tight racing. I know the fans had to enjoy that. I was sweating up a storm. I was wiping sweat out of my eyes and on that caution with two to go and said it’s time to get up on the wheel and cowboy it up,” said Drown of his Halls Auto Sales, Malcuit Racing Engines, Nationwide Vehicle Protection, Wooster Glass, Kar Konnections backed #240.

“Leroy Hall gave me a great opportunity and with all my family support…we had the whole family here to night and that makes it fun,” added Drown.

Bobby Clark inherited the lead when Jamie Miller jumped the cushion and flipped on lap six, and then survived a late race charge by Kyle Capodice to claim his third straight win in the Foster’s Auto Body 305 Sprints. The victory is the ninth overall of the season for Clark and essentially wraps up the JLH General Contractor 305 FAST Championship presented by Engine Pro. Clark now has 19 career 305 sprint wins at Attica and is fourth on the track’s all-time win list

“I knew once I caught traffic…everyone was right on the bottom. I figured who ever was behind me was there. Our hope coming into here tonight was to wrap up the FAST championship with a win,” said Clark beside his Fremont Fence, Kear’s Speed Shop, Kistler Engines, Nagy Equipment, Big D’s Pizza, Schiets Motorsports, Miller Rigging, Shelluke’s Bar, Willey’s Towing, B&L Plumbing, backed #8.

In the Fremont Fence Dirt Trucks, Fremont’s Matt Foos would take the lead when Dustin Keegan had mechanical woes on lap four, and would cruise to his second straight win and the fourth of the season at Attica. It was his sixth overall victory of 2015. Foos now has six career victories at Attica.

“It’s pretty cool I get to have my son in victory lane. The last time he was here we blew up leading. We thought we had an engine problem earlier in the week, but a lot of hard work, sweat and blood and here we are. It was actually the flex plate bolts backed out…that was a relief,” said Foos of his Fremont Fence, Level Performance, Pitstop Carryout, Automatic Fire Protection, D&R Transmissions, M&L Excavating backed #2.

Mintz and Jimmy Colvin brought the field to green for the 30 lap 410 sprint feature with Mintz gaining the advantage as third starter Jacobs jumped into second. Chris Andrews would bolt into third on lap three and took second a lap later.

The action would grind to a halt on lap four when Tyler Gunn flipped, ending his night. On the restart Mintz pulled away slightly from Andrews with Jacobs, Stuart Brubaker, Byron Reed and Rob Chaney in tow. The top three of Mintz, Andrews and Jacobs put some distance between themselves and a tremendous battle for fourth between Brubaker, Reed, and Chaney with Caleb Griffith and T.J. Michael staying close.

With 10 laps scored, Andrews was gaining on Mintz but the caution would fall for DJ Foos. Mintz got a great restart to hold the lead over Andrews, Jacobs, Brubaker, Reed and Chaney. At the halfway point the running order was Mintz, Andrews, Jacobs, Brubaker, Chaney, Reed, Michael and Cap Henry.

Just as Mintz was set to hit heavy lapped traffic on lap 18, the caution came out for Bryan Nuckles. Again when the green flew Mintz got a tremendous restart as Andrews and Jacobs battled for second. Fourth place running Brubaker would experience mechanical woes on lap 20 and would retire to the pits.

Mintz could not escape Jacobs and Andrews with Chaney, Reed and Michael locked in a fun battle for fourth. As the laps ticked off, Jacobs utilized the bottom groove to edge closer to Mintz. As the white flew Jacobs was racing to the leader’s inside as fifth place Chaney went pit side with issues. As they raced out of turn four to the checkers, Jacobs was beside Mintz, but Mintz kept up his momentum and drove to the win. Jacobs, Andrews, Reed and Michael would round out the top five.

Chris Keller and Rocky Owens paced the field for the 25 lap late model feature with Owens gaining the advantage over Keller, Ryan Markham, Rusty Schlenk, Drown and Ryan Missler. As Owens pulled away slightly, the battle for second was outstanding involving Schlenk, Keller, Markham and Drown.

After a lap two caution for Josh Haynes and Nate Potts, Owens would again pull away while Keller, Markham, Drown and Missler battled for second as Schlenk slid off the track, losing several positions. Owens drove into lapped traffic by the eighth circuit as Markham battled with Keller, Drown and Mike Bores. Keller would take second on lap nine with Drown edging out Markham for third.

Ben Mott would spin on lap 13 with the running order Owens, Keller, Drown, Markham, Bores, Missler and Larry Kingseed. When the green flew Owens again maintained his advantage as Keller, Markham and Drown continued the battle for second. With 10 laps to go the running order was Owens, Keller, Markham, Bores, Drown, Kingseed and Missler.

Drown would utilize the high line to take third on lap 19 just before the caution flew again for Mott. When the green flew Keller and Drown challenged Owens with Kingseed taking fourth. Kent Brewer would bring out the final caution on lap 23 setting up a two lap shoot out.

When the green flew Owens went to the bottom of turns one and two and Drown blasted away at the cushion and rocked into the lead. Owens would drive away to the win over Owens, Keller, Markham and Kingseed.

In the 25 lap 305 sprint feature, Capodice and Clark brought the field to green, with Clark taking the lead. The car on the move was Jamie Miller who used the high line to grab second on lap three and then blasted around Clark for the lead on lap five. But, that cushion would bite Miller a lap later as he jumped the ledge and flipped.

Clark would pull away on the restart over Capodice, Jordan Ryan, Dustin Rall, Ricky Peterson, Alex Paden, Steve Rando and a charging Dustin Dinan. Dan Hennig would stop with suspension damage on lap eight with the restart order Clark, Capodice, Ryan, Rall, Peterson, Rando and Dinan. The race would go caution free the remaining laps.

With 10 laps to go the car on the move was Peterson who took fourth and a lap later drove around Ryan for third as the leaders raced into lapped traffic. Capodice began eating way at Clark’s lead with Peterson and Ryan locked in a good battle for third.

With three laps to go Capodice was beside Clark but as they flew into turn one, Capodice bobbled, doing a 360 spin and losing several spots. Clark would hold off Peterson for the win with Rando, Ryan and Capodice rounding out the top five.

In the 15 lap dirt truck feature, Foos and Dustin Keegan would bring the field to green and the pair would race side by side the first four laps with Keegan holding the slight advantage. But, Keegan would stop on the track with four laps recorded, ending his night.

The only thing to slow Foos down the remainder of the race was a caution on lap 8 for second place running Brad Keckler. When the green flew, Foos did as well and drove to the win over Eric Devanna, Keith Sorg, Curt Inks and Len Benyak.

Attica Raceway Park will not be racing on Friday, Aug. 14 due to the Attica Fair. Racing will resume Friday, Aug. 21st on WNWO Channel 24 NBC Night with the 410 sprints running for $3,000 to win along with another Attica/Wayne County Late Model Series point event with the 305 sprints and dirt trucks also in action.

By Brian Liskai ATTICA, Ohio – Cap Henry is making things exciting in the drive to the Kistler Racing Products Fremont Attica Sprint Title (FAST) Championship Series Presented by KS Sales and Service title. The Bellevue, Ohio driver led all 30 laps at Attica Raceway Park Friday to garner his second win of the season at the track and tighten the point battle for the $10,000 Kistler Cup.

Henry came into the night second in the FAST standings, only 40 points behind two times series champion Byron Reed. He would gain very valuable points as Reed would finish fourth. With Attica’s points for the O’Reilly Auto Parts 410 Sprints also paying $10,000 this year, former track champion Dean Jacobs padded his point lead with a solid second place run as well on Culy Contracting/Smith Family Foods Night.

“I was trying to pace myself and not catch those guys (lapped cars) too soon and ran the top in one and two one lap to open up the bottom to see if someone was down there and I saw Dean and I was like ‘better get back to blocking’ because it’s one go with him,” said Henry beside his Genzman Racing, Ludwig Propane, Level Performance, Kear’s Speed Shop, Handy Grafix, J&J Auto Racing backed #53.

“This whole team…Guy, Marilyn, Ralph, Jamie and David…they’ve been working really hard. It’s actually been a lot of fun. We put this car away for a little while and got it back out and I think we made the right decision,” added Henry of his fourth career Attica win.

A couple of weeks ago Rocky Owens lost a feature on the last lap by a bumper. This Friday Owens patiently waited until five laps to go and started to pressure race-long leader Ryan Missler and took the lead with four laps to go. Owens, from Mansfield, Ohio, would drive to his second career win at Attica against the Sunoco American Late Model Series stars.

“This car has been fantastic the last three weeks here. I’ve got a great group of people helping me this year and it’s starting to show now. Doug Heath is the owner and he’s keeping us going. My dad and Rod Lucas and Steve Day and Shawn…we all put what all we have into this and Doug keeps us going. I have to thank him for everything,” said Owens beside his sponsorless #29.

“I had to bide my time. I kept peaking over at the laps and I was waiting until about five to go and really start pushing it,” added Owens.

Fremont’s Bobby Clark would battle Dustin Stroup for several laps before taking the lead with 10 to go in Foster’s Auto Body 305 Sprint feature and driving away to his second straight victory at Attica. It is his 18th career 305 sprint win at the track and moves him into a tie with Phil Gressman for fourth on the track’s all-time win list. Clark has 7 victories thus far in 2015 including four at Fremont and one at Millstream to go with his two at Attica.

“I kind of looked at the scoreboard and saw Weaver (Paul) had stuck up there and so I thought I better move it. Hopefully we can keep picking up a few more. My crew is phenomenal and has these cars working well. We have three cars and all of them work good,” said Clark beside his Fremont Fence, Nagy Equipment, Big D’s Pizza, Kear’s Speed Shop, B&L Plumbing and Heating, Miller Rigging, Shelluke’s Bar, Willey’s Towing, Kistler Engines, Schiets Motorsports backed machine.

In the Fremont Fence Dirt Trucks, Matt Foos would rub fenders with Dan Roepke Jr. coming to the checkers to score a close victory. It was his third win of the season at Attica and the fifth of his career at the track.

“I tried to pinch him (Roepke) as cleanly as possible without tearing both of these things up. He was pretty respectful of me and I am of him and it worked out,” said Foos beside his Fremont Fence, Level Performance, Automatic Fire Protection, M&L Excavating, Pit Stop Convenience Stores, CA Kustoms, D&R Transmissions backed #2.

“What are the chances that a wrench falls down and busts my car owner in the lip. I put the radiator in at five o’clock today but we made it. So appreciative of all the guys who help me…what a year. We deserve this after the rough two weeks we had,” added Foos.

The 30 lap feature for the 410 sprints would see Henry and Nate Dussel in the front row with Henry gaining the advantage when the green flew. Henry would lead Dussel, DJ Foos, Dean Jacobs, Craig Mintz, Broc Martin and Byron Reed when the only caution would fly on lap five for Gary Taylor.

On the restart Henry would pull away slightly from Dussel while Foos and Jacobs battled for third. Jacobs would take the position on lap 10 and moved into second on lap 12 when Dussel bobbled. As the leaders raced into lapped traffic on lap 14 Jacobs was driving under Henry to challenge with Foos, Dussel, Mintz, Martin, Reed, Tyler Gunn and Caleb Griffith in pursuit.

Henry would patiently pick his way through traffic with Jacobs staying within striking distance. With seven laps to go the battle on the track was for third between Foos, Dussel and Reed. Dussel would take the third spot on lap 24 with Reed moving into fourth on lap 26, bringing Mintz to fifth.

With two laps to go Henry and Jacobs were in heavy lapped traffic which allowed Dussel to close. Henry would pick his way through and drove to the win over Jacobs, Dussel, Reed and Mintz.

Ryan Missler and Steve Casebolt brought the field to green for the 30 lap ALMS feature with Missler gaining the upper hand over Casebolt, Matt Westfall, Owens and Ky Harper. The caution would fly on lap two for a Josh Haynes spin with the restart order Missler, Westfall, Casebolt, Owens, Harper, Ryan Unzicker, Ryan Markham, Rich Bell and Doug Drown.

Missler was able to pull away slightly with Westfall, Casebolt and Owens locked in a tremendous battle that would continue to the halfway point. Ben Mott would spin in turn four right in front of the lead cars to bring out the only other caution of the feature.

On the restart Missler led Owens, Westfall and Casebolt as the later trio continued a great battle for second. By lap 17, Owens was showing he was better than Missler on the bottom of turns three and four while Missler was better in the middle of turns one and two.

With five laps to go Owens was racing side by side with Missler in turns three and four with Westfall, a charging Unzicker, Drown and Casebolt in pursuit. Owens would lead by a bumper on lap 26 as Missler raced to his outside over the next four laps.

As Owens took the white flag he had pulled away to a two car length lead over Missler. Owens drove to the win over Missler, Westfall, Unzicker and Drown.

Steve Rando and Dustin Stroup brought the field to green for the 25 lap 305 sprint feature but before a lap could be scored Landon LaLonde would tip over in turn three. On the restart Rando would grab the lead over Stroup with Kyle Capodice, Clark, Trey Jacobs, Luke Griffith, Brandon Moore, Alex Hill and Paul Weaver giving chase.

Stroup would pressure Rando for the lead while Capodice and Clark battled for third. The caution would fly on lap eight with the running order Rando, Stroup, Clark, Capodice, Jacobs, Griffith and Weaver. Rando would get a great restart and continue to lead Stroup, Clark, Capodice and a closing Weaver.

Stroup would drive under Rando for the lead on lap 12 with Clark also working to the inside as he took second on lap 13 and quickly closed on Stroup. Stroup and Clark battled side by side over the next couple of laps before Clark took the lead on lap 15.

The leaders raced into traffic on lap 18 with Clark leading Stroup, Rando and Weaver. A caution for debris on lap 19 helped Rando who had drive off the high side of turn two and lost several spots. He was able to restart third with six laps to go.

When the green flew Clark did as well, driving away from Stroup with Weaver, taking third from Rando. Weaver would challenge Stroup for second the last hand full of laps but couldn’t get the pass completed. Clark drove to the victory over Stroup, Weaver, Rando and Jacobs.

Eric Devanna and Foos brought the field to green for the 15 lap dirt truck feature. But, before a lap could be completed Brandon Stuckey would spin. On the next green Foos would grave the lead but Devanna kept pressure with Roepke, Dustin Keegan and Brian Arnold staying close. Foos would have a slight lead over Devanna who was getting pressure from Roepke.

The caution would fly on lap five for Randy Ryan with the running order Foos, Roepke, Devanna, Keegan, Arnold, Keith Sorg, Dana Fry and Brandon Leighton. When the green flew the battle between Foos and Roepke began as the pair raced side by side for the next eight laps until a Curt Inks spin with just two laps to go.

On the restart Foos protected the bottom line with Roepke racing to his outside while Devanna and Fry were locked in a good battle for third. As they hit turns three and four the final lap Roepke drove to Foos’ outside. Foos let his truck drift upward and the two made contact as they drove to the checkers.
