Lay Becomes Attica’s First Repeat Winner; Krummert Gets Late Model Win; Dussel Scores 6th 305 Sprint Victory; Roepke Dominates Trucks

By Brian Liskai: (Attica, OH) Brian Lay became Attica Raceway Park ’s first repeat 410 sprint winner of 2013 Saturday. Lay passed early race leader Chris Andrews on lap 18 and pulled away for his second career sprint victory on WNWO NBC Channel 24/ Edward Jones of Clyde Night.

In the caution-free 30-lap feature, only nine cars finished on the lead lap as Andrews and Lay set a blistering pace.

“There’s been a lot of monkeys on this back and as long as I can get as many trophies as monkeys that I had we’ll be doing just fine,” said Lay beside his Seagate Blasting/Local 85 Boilermakers/Gary Shumaker Fuel Transport/Black Berry Corners/Wood Court Collision/Kistler Racing Products backed #45.

“I have to thank all my sponsors, my dad, Uncle Kenny, my cousin Rick…all the guys that come with me and help me on a weekly basis. It takes so much time and so much effort to get this thing to go around let alone the money but it’s so sweet when you are standing here,” added Lay in the Engine Pro Victory Lane as his car belched steam. “It was about 250 (degrees) when I crossed the line…I hope she ain’t hurt. But, we’re celebrating tonight.”

Despite having a hiccup in his heat with some mechanical woes, Craig Mintz managed to rally from his 15th starting spot to finish eighth which nearly wraps up his second Kistler Racing Products FAST (Fremont Attica Sprint Title) Championship Series title and it’s $10,000 payday. There’s one FAST night left, that coming next month at Fremont Speedway. Mintz also adds to his Attica Raceway Park point lead as he heads into the championship night next week looking for his second straight track title.

Butler, Pennsylvania’s Garrett Krummert and defending track champion Ryan Missler put on a whale of a show in the Summit Racing Equipment UMP Late Model feature. The two raced side by side nearly the entire race and when Krummert threw a slider on Missler with two laps to go, it nearly took both of them out. But, while Missler went to the pits with a flat tire, Krummert went on to score his third career Attica win.

“I don’t know what it is about this track but I love coming here…wish it was closer, we’d come every Friday night,” said Krummert beside his Krummert Automotive/Alternative Power Sources/East End Powder Coating/Diamond Tanning backed #29. “We’ll finish the year out here. We’ll be back next week and for the Lucas Oil Late Model deal.”

“I almost crapped my pants when I threw that slider. I never even seen him when I came back on the race track. I feel bad that I got into him but I don’t think he even knew I was there,” added Krummert of his winning move. “I have to thank my mom and dad…without them this wouldn’t be possible. And my beautiful fiancée Jo and my best friend Ryan and his wife Amy. I have to thank Mike Spinewebber from TRD Race Cars and Brian from Turbo Start.”

Missler’s misfortune keeps the point race tight for the late model track championship. Cody Scott’s third place run and Matt Irey’s second place finish – after going to the tail early after changing a tire – pulls them close to Missler going into the championship night and it’s double points.

Nate Dussel took the lead from Jordan Ryan by a bumper when the caution flew in the Foster’s Auto Body 305 Sprint feature. On the restart Dussel ran off and was never seriously challenged again as he scored his sixth victory of the season at Attica . It is his 11th career win at Attica , moving him into a tie with John Ivy and Scott Miller for 11th on the track’s all-time win list for the division. The victory is also the 11th of the season for Dussel who also has five wins at Fremont Speedway.

“That was fun racing with Jordan . He races you clean. My guys had this thing hooked up tonight,” said Dussel beside his Berrier Fabrication/Kylynn Manufacturing/Conrad Transport/Kistler Racing Products/Gressman Powersports backed #1. “I want to dedicate this win to Cody and Shanna White’s little boy Nolan who lost his life this past week. We had his sticker on the car and he was definitely riding with me tonight.”

Dussel still can’t breathe easy going into championship night as Dustin Dinan and Jordan Ryan remain within striking distance. Also, John Ivy’s second place run keeps him close to Dussel in the JLH General Contractors FAST Championship point standings with one race remaining.

In the Bob’s Machine Shop Dirt Trucks, Dan Roepke Jr. of Woodville , Ohio , dominated the event, leading all 15 laps for his third win of the season. The win – the sixth of his career at Attica – moves him closer to point leader Dustin Keegan heading into the season championship night.

“The truck was awesome tonight. The guys have been working hard and making changes to it and it paid off,” said Roepke beside his Perkin’s Tree Service/Village of Elmore/Johnny’s Electric/Village Inn/Vision Quest backed #88.

FAST 410 Sprints – Brian Lay #45L
In the 30-lap, $3,000 to win O’Reilly Auto Parts 410 Sprint feature, Andrew Palker, who earned his second straight championship the previous night at the NAPA Wayne County Speedway, and Chris Andrews, who scored his first UNOH All Star win at Attica last month, led the field to the green. Andrews would charge to the lead with Palker, D.J. Foos, Brad Bowman, Lay, Jody Keegan and Randy Hannagan in tow.

Lay would use the bottom groove to move into third by lap four as Andrews hit lapped traffic with a sizeable lead. But, lapped machines racing side by side in front of Andrews allowed Palker and Lay to close. Lay would steal second on lap 11 and quickly closed on Andrews.

With 17 laps in the books, Andrews and Lay were nose to tail and a circuit later Lay slide by for the lead while Palker, Bowman, Foos, Jody Keegan and Travis Philo gave chase. With eight laps to go it was now Lay who encountered heavy lapped traffic but Andrews could not make up any ground. Meanwhile Palker had his hands full with Bowman and Foos.

Lay would slice his way through traffic to take the win with Andrews, Palker, Bowman and Foos rounding out the top five.

Summit Racing Equipment UMP Late Models – Garrett Krummert #29
Cody Scott and Nate Potts paced the field to the green for the 25-lap UMP late model main that was slowed several times in the early going by cautions. Potts lead lap 1 over Scott, Missler, Dave Hornikel, Larry Kingseed and Krummert before the caution flew for a tangle between Matt Irey and Ryan Markham. Irey would go to the pits to change a tire and would rejoin the field at the tail.

A lap and another caution for a Steve Sabo spin. On the restart Scott drove under Potts for the lead with Missler, Hornikel, Kingseed and Krummert in tow. Missler would rocket into the lead on lap four but couldn’t shake Scott as Hornikel and Krummert stayed close. The caution would fly on lap seven for a Josh Haynes spin and on the restart Hornikel would loop his machine in turn two. When the green reappeared Missler lead as Krummert drove into second with Scott third and Ky Harper and Kingseed rounding out the top five.

The caution would fly again on lap nine for a Potts spin with the running order Missler, Krummert, Scott, Harper and Mike Bores. When the green flew the battle for the lead was on as Krummert and Missler ran side by side. But, another caution on lap 13 for a Jamie Reed and John Mayes Jr. tangle would slow the fight.

On the ensuing green, Krummert drove into the lead by a nose to lead lap 14 but Missler regained the top spot a lap later as the two continued to battle back and forth. Behind them Scott was locked in a great race with Bores for third. Missler and Krummert would drive into lapped traffic on the 18th circuit. On lap 23 Krummert would drive into the lead and he and Missler made contact with Missler stopping with a flat tire after the white had flown.

With the green and white waving together, Krummert drove unchallenged the final lap for the win over Irey who stormed from the rear after his early race mishap, Scott, Bores and Tim Sabo.

FAST 305 Sprints – Nate Dussel #1
Dustin Dinan and Jordan Ryan would bring the field to the green for the 25 lap Foster’s Auto Body 305 Sprint main. Ryan would get the upper hand to lead while Dussel drove into second with Dinan, Jamie Miller, John Ivy and Dan Hammond in tow.

With Ryan hugging the bottom Dussel would blast to his outside lap after lap challenging for the lead. Dussel would lead by a bumper on lap eight as the caution flew for debris. On the restart Dussel would pull away from Ryan as Dinan was locked in spirited battle with Ivy and Jamie Miller for third.

With eight laps to go the leaders raced into heavy lapped traffic as Ryan stayed close to Dussel while Dinan and Ivy tried to hold off Paul Weaver, Miller and Bobby Clark. Someone made contact with one of the infield tire barriers, necessitating a caution on lap 19.

With a clear track, Dussel pulled away from Ryan as Ivy took third with Dinan, Miller and Weaver in tow. As the white flag flew Jeremy Duposki would spin in turn four. With the green and white flying on the restart, Dussel had his hands full with charging Ivy. But, the Bradner, Ohio driver was able to hang on for the win as Ivy, Ryan, Dinan and Weaver rounded out the top five.

Bob’s Machine Shop Dirt Trucks – Dan Roepke Jr #88
Defending Attica champion Andy Keegan and Roepke would bring the field to the green for the 15 lap Bob’s Machine Ship Dirt Truck feature. Roepke would get the upper hand over Keegan, Dustin Keegan, Kyle Cline and Ivy before the caution flew for a stalled Shawn Valenti.

Two more laps and a caution for a Brandon Stuckey spin with the running order Roepke, Andy Keegan, Dustin Keegan, Ivy, Cline, Willie Keegan and Art Ball. Roepke would pull away as Andy Keegan ran comfortably in second with Dustin Keegan and Ivy battling for third. Ivy would take the spot on lap 11.

Philo Earns 2nd Career Attica 410 Sprint Win; Schlenk Dominates Late Models; Dinan Gets 3rd 305 Sprint Win; Ivy Takes 3rd Truck Victory

By Brian Liskai: (Attica, OH) Travis Philo scored his first career 410 sprint win at Attica Raceway Park last season. He started on the front row that night…he felt he didn’t really earn that win though he held off a veteran racer on a late race restart.

This Friday the Waterville, Ohio driver charged from his third starting spot to take the lead on lap 16 and then traded sliders with defending track champion Craig Mintz late before driving to the win on Smith Family Foods Night. Philo became the 10th different driver to win in 10 A-mains at Attica Raceway Park in the O”Reilly Auto Parts 410 Sprints this season.

“I was good on the top down here (turns three and four) but Craig showed his nose. He could have taken me out if he wanted to…he’s a class act. The bottom of one and two is where I passed all my cars…I felt real good down there,” said Philo beside his Control Design Solutions/Kistler Racing Products/Banshee Graphics backed machine.

“Last win I started on the front row. Tonight I passed some cars so that was pretty cool. I have to thank my Uncle Dave and Control Design Solutions, Dave and Kyle at Kistler Racing Products, Paul Kistler did a hell of a job. We had to get a motor freshened and he turned it around in a week. I have to thank my Dad and Mom, my grandpa and grandma, Bryan Darling and Gary Bowe,” added Philo.

Mintz would come home second to pad his lead in the $10,000-to-win Kistler Racing Products FAST (Fremont Attica Sprint Title) Championship Series with just a handful of FAST point races remaining at both tracks.

In a caution-free 25-lap late model feature, Rusty Schlenk dominated. At times he had built a five second lead. He had one close call late in the race when a lapped car drove up in front of him and made contact, pushing a bar into his tire. But, the McClure driver nursed his machine home for the fourth win of the season at Attica and the eighth overall of 2013. Schlenk now has 18 career wins at “Ohio’s Finest Racing” speedplant.

“A lapped car changed directions on me in the middle of the straight-away…he went high and I thought he was staying low. I tried missing him but ended up getting into him and it pushed my t-bar down into my tire. I could see it smoking and smell it the whole last part of the race so I backed myself down to make sure I wasn’t pushing it too hard. I’d hate to lose it with a flat tire,” said Schlenk beside his Kercher Engines/Micro-Armor Lubricants/Main and Company/Zeller Automotive/Landrum springs backed #91. “I have to thank all the guys that stuck with me this week…it’s been very busy week with the Hell Tour ending.”

In the Foster Auto Body 305 Sprints, Fremont, Ohio’s Dustin Dinan nipped John Ivy by a bumper to the start-finish line on lap 16 with the caution flying soon after, leaving him in the lead. He then had to fend off Ivy on a restart with just one lap to go to score his third win of the season, also the third of his career at Attica. Dinan now has five wins overall as he has two victories at Fremont this year.

With his second place run Ivy cuts into Nate Dussel’s lead in the JLH General Contractors FAST 305 Championship Series lead with just three races remaining in that point battle.

“I got a little hurt at work the other day but this makes it feel better. I didn’t want to go to the doctor because they’d probably tell me I couldn’t race,” said Dinan beside his Tank’s Meats/Quality Welding/Hillside Pawnshop/Quaintance Farms/Alley Tap Room/Johnson’s Hunting and Fishing/Schiets Tender Touch Car Wash backed #6.

“I knew John would be outside on that restart so I kind of run it up there and block my spot. I have to thank my crew…Dave Foos, Jamie Adams, Aaron Fought, Tom Losher, A.J. Sleek…these guys are awesome. I have to thank Rich Farmer and Shelly Liskai, my girlfriend Rachel and my baby girl Skylar and all my sponsors,” added Dinan.

In the 15-lap Bob’s Machine Shop Dirt Truck feature, John Ivy steadily worked his way to the front after starting 12th, and then blasted from third into the lead on lap 7 and drove away to his third win of the season at Attica in a feature that had only one caution – that for debris. Ivy has 6 truck wins at Fremont in 2013. It was his fourth career truck win at Attica. Prior to the feature, the team was going to replace Ivy with Dan Roepke Jr. who suffered mechanical problems in his heat in his truck as he came into the night leading the track points. But, track rules prohibited the move since there was no B-main for Roepke to race Ivy’s truck in prior to the feature.

“The track kind of made up our minds on that. Charlie and Craig have this thing good. We had to start 12th…I told the guys we’ve done it before we’d be alright,” said Ivy beside his Diversified Machine and Welding/Level Performance/Perkins Tree Service/Sonny’s Machine backed #00. “The guys have been working on this thing real hard and it’s been staying together. I tore it up once or twice and they told me they will have to work on it tomorrow. But this thing has been real, real good.”

FAST 410 Sprints – Travis Philo #5T
Paige Polyak and Caleb Griffith would bring the 410 sprint field to the green for their 30-lap affair but before a lap could be completed Scott Euler would spin. On the restart Polyak would blast into the lead over Griffith, Philo, D.J. Foos, Stuart Brubaker, Craig Mintz and Brian Smith. The caution would fly on lap three for a Jody Keegan spin with Polyak leading Griffith, Philo, a charging Mintz, Foos, Brubaker, Cole Duncan and 13th starting Brian Lay.

With seven laps in Polyak continued to lead as Griffith had his hands full with Philo and Mintz. Just as Griffith was closing on Polyak, she would slip over the cushion in turns three and four on lap 11, handing the lead to Griffith with Philo, Mintz and Foos in pursuit. The leaders would hit heavy lapped traffic on lap 14 but the caution would fly for a Christopher Bell spin just as Griffith, Philo and Mintz were ready to put on a great battle for the lead.

A lap after the restart Phil would drive under Griffith for the lead as Mintz now pressured for second with Foos and Brubaker completing the top five. Mintz would finally steal second on lap 22 as the lead group prepared to encounter heavy lapped traffic again. On lap 24, racing into traffic that was battling side-by-side, Mintz executed a slider in turns three and four to steal the lead, but Philo duplicated the act in turns one and two to regain the top spot.

Phil and Mintz continued to battle with Griffith, Foos and Brubaker in tow. But, Griffith would spin in turn four on lap 28, ending his great run. On the restart with just two laps to go, Philo dove to the bottom of one and two as Mintz tried to race to his outside. Philo would drift up the track exiting turn two to block Mintz’ momentum. Phil would drive to the win over Mintz, Foos, Brubaker and Polyak.

Summit Racing Equipment Late Models – Rusty Schlenk #91
In the non-stop 25-lap Summit Racing Equipment UMP Late Model feature, Rusty Schlenk and Mike Bores would bring the field to the green. Schlenk served notice he was the car to beat as he pulled away while third place starter John Mayes Jr. jumped into second over Bores, Cody Scott, Ky Harper, Matt Irey and Ryan Missler. Scott would take third on lap two with Harper taking the position a lap later.

Schlenk would build up to a five second lead as the action on back was fantastic with Mayes, Harper, Scott and Missler. Harper would move into second on lap eight as the leader raced into traffic. Mayes would surrender third to Scott on lap 10 and closed on Harper. With 10 laps to go, Schlenk was in heavy lapped traffic and his lead began to shrink as Harper and Scott closed with Missler moving into fourth.

Schlenk’s encounter with the lapped car that caused front end damage to his mount occurred on lap 16 as Harper, Scott and Missler chopped three seconds off his lead. But Schlenk was able to clear traffic and set his cruise control back on high as he drove away to the win with Harper, Scott, Missler and Wayne Maffett Jr. rounding out the top five.

FAST 305 Sprints – Dustin Dinan #6
Bobby Clark and T.J. Michael would bring the field to the green in the 305 sprint main, but something happened to Clark as his car came to a stop coming to the start, nearly causing a massive pile-up. That would move Dan Hammond to the point with Michael and when the green flew again, Michael would bolt into the lead over Hammond, John Ivy, Dinan and Ricky Peterson.

Ivy would take second on lap two and would dive under Michael for the lead a circuit later with Dinan moving into third. With five laps in the running order was Ivy, Dinan, Michael. Alvin Roepke, Peterson and Hammond. Ivy would hit lapped traffic by lap nine, with Dinan closing while Michael, Roepke, Jason Keckler, Peterson and Paul Weaver in pursuit.

By lap 11 the leaders were in heavy lapped traffic, with Ivy making some great moves as Dinan stayed close. As they drove to the line on lap 16, Dinan raced under Ivy and held the lead by a nose as the caution would soon fly for a Jeremy Duposki spin. Since the leaders had crossed the line, the split-caution rule applied and the lap counted with Dinan now in the lead over Ivy, Roepke and Keckler.

When the green flew, Ivy drove to Dinan’s outside. But the caution would fly again on lap 18 for a Hammond spin. Again on the restart Ivy would pressure Dinan to his outside, but once he exited turn two, Dinan regained his momentum and pulled away slightly as Michael, Roepke, Keckler, Jordan Ryan and Paul Weaver gave chase. Ryan would move into fourth by lap 23.

After the leaders took the white flag, Tyler Gunn would spin in turn four necessitating a one lap battle to the finish. Dinan was able to hold off Ivy on the restart and take the win. Michael would come home third with Ryan and Weaver rounding out the top five.

Bob’s Machine Shop Dirt Trucks – John IVy #00
Tony Siferd and Eric Devanna brought the field to the green in the 15-lap truck feature, but before a lap could be completed Roger Inks would spin. On the complete restart Siferd jumped into the lead over Brian Melnek, Devanna and Brian Arnold. Seventh place starter Dustin Keegan would blast into third by lap two and would take second on the next circuit. The truck on the move was 12th starter Ivy who was sixth by lap three and moved into the top five a circuit latter.

With six laps in the battle for the lead was intense between Siferd, Keegan, Ivy and Melnek. Ivy drove around Keegan and Siferd into the lea don lap seven. The only caution would fly on lap eight after one of the infield tractor tires was pushed into the racing groove. The running order was Ivy, Siferd, Keegan, Melnek, Kent Brewer and Kyle Cline.

On the restart Keegan would grab second, but Ivy was starting to stretch his lead. Ivy would drive away to the win over Keegan, Siferd, Brewer and Melnek.
