SOMERSET, KENTUCKY (April 19, 2025)—The Valvoline American Late Model Iron-Man Series & Attica Raceway Park are honored to announce that the Friday May 2 visit to the track will now be dubbed the “Stephen Wagner Memorial” and pay $5,049-to-win and $549-to-start the 22-car field. The inaugural event honors longtime race fan and supporter Stephen Wagner.
Stephen Wagner, 75, of Fremont, Ohio passed away April 3, 2025 and was an avid race fan plus did excavation work including the new resurfacing projects for Attica Raceway and Fremont Speedway last year. Mr. Wagner owned the car that made the 1992 World 100 with driver Larry Scott of Grand Rapids, Ohio. Mr. Wagner owned Scott’s car that also won back-to-back Johnny Appleseed Classic features in 1986 & 1987 at Mansfield (OH) Raceway. The family of Mr. Wagner has added to each monetary position in the feature that will end in $49 which followed Wagner’s race car number for cars which he owned. Each non-qualifier will receive an additional $49 on top of the standard $75 tow money courtesy of the family and sponsors.
Additionally, with the help of sponsors and Wagner’s family including his son Noah, there will also be an “Australian Pursuit” in honor of Larry Scott that will take place after the feature event for the fastest six qualifiers (from earlier in the evening) that will pay $1,049 to the winner and $249 for second place in the six-lap event. The Longest tow award for the night will be worth $200 courtesy of Jamie Miller Trucking.
The family of Mr. Wagner would like to thank the sponsors and supporters who helped make these bonuses possible including Borer Window & Glass, Buckeye Concrete Coatings, Gonya Farms, Fremont Speedway, M&L Excavating, Great Lakes Garage Doors, Gressman Powersports, Westend Tire, Keegan Racing, Ron McComas, Mark Hoffman, Fremont Fence, Berryman Racing Shocks, Black Swamp Heating & Cooling & Jamie Miller Trucking.
