Jedrzejek steals his 1st 410 sprint win on last corner last lap at Attica; Cap Henry claims 3rd track title
By Brian Liskai
ATTICA, Ohio – A caution flag with just one lap to go in the 410 sprint feature on the last race of the 2024 season at Attica Raceway Park set up a shoot-out. Rookie Kasey Jedrzejek, 19, drove under Cap Henry on the last corner of the last lap to steal his first career division win on Kistler Racing Products/Custom Chrome Plating/Great Lakes Trucks Center/All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads Presents the Mark Keegan Classic Championship Night.
Jedrzejek, who has five 360 sprint wins in 2024, started fifth in the field and trailed early race leader Stuart Brubaker, Leyton Wagner, Chris Andrews, Cap Henry and Trey Jacobs early as only two cautions fell during the 30-lap feature for the Callie’s Performance Products 410 Sprints. Henry took second on lap 10 and drove into the lead at the halfway point and appeared headed to victory. Then the caution flew after the white flag had fallen setting up the shoot-out.
On the restart Henry went to the bottom and Jedrzejek took to the cushion and got a tremendous run exiting turn two setting up the move in turn four to get the win over Henry, 11th starter Cale Thomas, Brubaker and 13th starter Kalib Henry.
“I ran the top the whole race….ran it hard and lost brakes about half way. That caution helped me get them back…I had used them up. My helmet shield was flying up every time I entered the corner so I was just praying I didn’t go off the edge. That yellow came out and I really wasn’t sure if I was second or third and I saw I was second on the board and I thought I had a shot. I felt good running the top so I got a good run off of two. I thought Cap would go to the bottom but he went to the middle and I just stuck it in there. I have to thank Ed Neumeister for giving me the opportunity, and Kent, John and Jason have been working hard all year and struggled first half of the year and we’ve turned it around the second half of the year,” said Jedrzejek beside his : Mr. Heater, Heat Star, Cherry’s Outdoor World, Cherry’s Propane, Team Line’m Up, Heitmeyer Concrete, Chalkstix, Elite Wings, Fisher Custom Printing, Ronda Jedrzejek Howard Hanna, DiBaggio Family, Perfection Fabricators, Simpson Race Products, FK Rod End, Sips-N-Such, BEI Supply & Rental, Nagy Coatings, Southgate Lanes backed #11N.
Henry earned his third Attica 410 track championship to go with his 2024 Attica Fremont Championship Series title.
“My guys did a great job all year. We came from behind and it takes a team to make up for that and I’ve got a great one. Zack and Jeff and Chris and Chad and Gary really did a good job all year long,” said Henry who missed the opening night of the season and came back strong for the 2024 title.
After Rusty Schlenk lead the first 10 laps of the 25-lap the Whistle Stop Presents the Dirt Nerds Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Model feature, Ashland, Ohio’s Ryan Markham drove under him to take the top spot and drove to his second win of the year in the non-stop affair. Schlenk, Casey Noonan, Mike Bores and Kyle Moore rounded out the top five. It’s Markham’s 25th career late model win at Attica.
“Rusty and Kyle have pretty much won everything here this year except for Mikey (Bores) and me getting just one. So to beat them is an accomplishment. The car was just really good…it’s been good since I made a bunch of changes to it about two months ago,” said Markham beside his B&B Drain Service, Beer Barrel Drive Thru, After Burner Performance, Chuys Tacos & Margaritas, Monster Motors, Last Mango Soap Company, Backin the Barn Boutique, Ocala Restaurant Supply, Mar Trucking, Schaeffers Racing Oil by Kevin Hill, TGR Performance backed #5M.
Moore earned his first ever Attica late model track title to go with his 2024 Wayne County Speedway championship as well.
“We got 20 wins this year and two track championships. It’s just a great year,” said Moore.
Jimmy McGrath lead the opening three laps of the Fremont Fence 305 sprint feature before Seth Schneider took over. Schneider lead until just five laps to go when 10th starter Dustin Stroup used lap cars to drive into the lead. Jamie Miller closed quickly on Stroup when the caution flew just after the white flag appeared, setting up another one lap shoot-out. Stroup hit his marks perfectly and drove to his third division win of the year at Attica, the eighth of his career at the track and the sixth overall feature win of 2024. Miller, Dustin Dinan, Schneider and Brendan Torok rounded out the top five.
“I was hot when that caution came out. But, I’ve been in that situation before. You just have to keep calm, keep a cool head and don’t over think it. The lines I was running coming up through the field…if I could hit my marks I’ll be fine coming off of turn two. We’ve had an awesome year. I can’t thank everyone enough for all they do….Jamie and Renee, mom and dad, Katie…everybody that’s on this car,” said Stroup beside his Sulfur Town Pub, BSE Welding, Meru Safety, Velocity Print, The Pizza House, Sunrise Designs, Momma Dukes from Shelluke’s Bar and Grill, GCE LLC, Handy Grafix, Mitten Painting, Myers Racing Engines, Rohr Total Lawn Care, Eye Candy Custom Cycles, DJ Johnson & Family, GWH, Advance Auto Parts, BRS, J&J Auto backed #12x.
Miller earned his fifth 305 sprint division Attica title to go with his Attica Fremont Championship Series title for 2024.
“There’s been a lot of guys that have come and gone and I’ve raced with a lot of good guys and learned a lot watching them race and incorporated it into what I do and tried to make myself better. Hopefully we can get the Fremont title tomorrow too,” said Miller.
Attica Raceway Park Promoter John Bores and Director of Operations Justin Liskai thanked all the great fans, race teams, track employees, push truck and wrecker operators and marketing partners for a great 2024 racing season at “Ohio’s Finest Racing” speed facility. Attica will be back in action in March 2025.
