Borden declared 410 Attica winner after Thiel disqualification; Schlenk dominates for 3rd Late Model win; Miller gets 3rd 305 victory

By Brian Liskai

ATTICA, Ohio – Scotty Thiel led all 30 laps of the 410 A-main at Attica Raceway Park Friday, April 18. Unfortunately a post-race inspection showed he had a two-inch wicker bill on his top wing which is against the track’s rules. Devon Borden, who had passed Thiel right before a caution flew with two laps to go, negating the lead pass, was declared the winner, his first ever at Attica on Baumann Auto Group/7L Construction/Venture Visionary Partners/Smith Paving Night.

Borden, who started on pole of the Callie’s Performance Products 410 Sprint A-main in his Bryan Grove Racing #45, dropped back to fourth early in the feature. He charged back into third on lap 12 behind Thiel and 12th starter Cap Henry. As Henry and Borden chased down Thiel in lapped traffic with three laps to go, hard contact between Borden and Henry put Borden in second and he charged to Thiel’s outside exciting turn two just before the caution flew with two laps to go.

After Thiel was disqualified at the feature at the scaled, Borden was awarded the win over Henry, 17th starter Kalib Henry, Bryce Lucius and 16th starter Craig Mintz.

Borden, who transplanted to Pennsylvania from the State of Washington a couple of years ago, was ecstatic about his win.

“I don’t care how we won but we will take it. My guys have worked so hard on this thing. I can’t thank Bryan Grove enough for the opportunity. We were pretty good…I had Scotty there before that yellow. I tried to move around on the restart and it hurt us. It feels do good to finally be on the horse track at Attica,” said Borden beside his CEI Crane and Rigging, Starrett Services, DB Power washing backed machine.

It was the opening night of the All Pro Aluminum Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group and with his runner-up finish defending AFCS champion Cap Henry will vault into the early season lead.

McClure, Ohio’s Rusty Schlenk made it three wins in a row to open the season at Attica in the Dirt Nerds Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Models. Todd Brennan led the first lap with JR Gentry taking over the top spot a lap later. Third starting Schlenk took the lead on lap six and only a couple of back-to-back cautions on laps seven and eight kept the field close.

The race went the final 17 laps caution-free and Schlenk, a three time national UMP champion, built up a nearly five second lead late in the race and cruised to his 46th career win at Attica over defending track champion Kyle Moore, Gentry, Devin Shiels and Brennan.

“To be honest the car didn’t feel that good. I was searching all over the track for speed. But, you tell me I had a five second lead….we must have been fast. I can’t wait until it feels faster,” said Schlenk beside his Buckeye Concrete Coatings, Terry Henricks Auto Group, Velocita USA, Dominator Race Products, Tom Finch Auto, Domination Race Cars, All Star Performance backed #91.

Kasey Ziebold led the first five laps of the Fremont Fence 305 Sprints A-main before Tyler Shullick took over. Sixth starter Jamie Miller, the defending track champion, drove under Shullick for the top spot on lap 10.

Shullick stayed close to Miller but Miller’s car was just too good in lapped traffic as he took his third straight feature win at Attica, the 48th of his career at the track. A wild battle for second on the last lap had Shullick get by Blayne Keckler with 15th starter Matt Foos and Dustin Stroup rounding out the top five.

“The car basically drove itself. I just sat back and let it go where it wanted to,” said Miller beside his Boca Construction, JLH General Contractors, Kenny Kolb Farms, Tuck Pointing America, Queen of Clean, Smitty’s Pizza, Roberts & Sons Contracting, Pizza Wheel, Crown Battery, Pub 400., Reedtown Tavern, Fostoria Mod Shop, Sandy’s Dad, Gressman Powersports, Phil Rister, Slade Shock Technology backed #26.

The win puts Miller atop the Real Geese Decoys/Real Capz AFCS 305 standings as he looks to win his second straight series title.
