Cale Thomas holds off Cap Henry for 2nd 410 Attica win; Kyle Moore wins thrilling late model affair; Jamie Miller dominates for 3rd 305 victory

By Brian Liskai

ATTICA, Ohio – Things are really falling into place for Cale Thomas. The Fairland, Indiana driver of the Jay Kiser Racing sprint car drove to his second straight 410 feature win at Attica Raceway Park Friday, May 31 on Burns Electric/Metal Master Fabrications/Vermeer Sales and Service Mid-Season Championship night.

Thomas’ four career victory at Attica pads his lead in the Callie’s Performance Products 410 Sprints Attica point standings and the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series Presented by the Baumann Auto Group. It wasn’t easy for Thomas though as defending AFCS and Attica track champion Cap Henry grabbed the early lead of the non-stop, seven minute A-Main before Thomas drove by on lap three. Henry raced inside of Thomas lap after lap before heavy lapped traffic came into play at the half-way point. Thomas was able to slice through the lapped cars and pulled away for the victory in his Spanky’s Pizza, Shelluke’s Bar, Automatic Fire Protection, Ohio Refrigeration, Engler Machine, BH 41, Ohio Heating, TMH Holdings, Berryman Racing Shocks, Keizer Wheels backed #23.

“The track was really wide. You could go wherever you wanted. Being in the lead…I didn’t know where Cap was. I kept watching for him….I knew he was running the bottom and was hoping he wouldn’t go to the top. I saw him after the checkers so he was right there with me. Obvious this car was really good. You kind of base yourself….Cap’s been having a little bit of trouble so you get Cap with open air and to be able to pass him in open air just says a lot about me and this car right now and the confidence we have,” said Thomas.

Henry, Trey Jacobs, Zeth Sabo and DJ Foos would round out the top five.

The Whistle Stop Presents the Dirt Nerds Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Model feature was one of the most entertaining events of the year so far at Attica Raceway Park. JR Gentry jumped into the lead of the 25 lap feature before surrendering it to Kyle Moore on lap 12. Three-time feature winner this year at Attica Rusty Schlenk powered into the lead a lap later and the dual with Moore was on.

The event’s only caution flew just past the half-way point and from then out, Moore and Schlenk swapped the lead several times each lap. Moore, from Mansfield, Ohio, was able to edge Schlenk the final six laps to score his first career Attica win. Moore had finished second to Schlenk the past two consecutive weeks. Gregg Haskell, Dan Wallace and Gentry rounded out the top five.

“This is the longest it’s ever took me to win a race at a place. Usually we go to a place a couple of times and we knock a win off. I’ve done everything here but win. I’ve been kicked out, flipped, wrecked, blown motors…we finally got out here on the horse track. That’s what sucks being the leader in traffic…you just don’t know where to go. When you are in second or third you’ve got nothing to lose. I was out there searching. I love racing with Rusty. There’s very few people who race like him,” said Moore beside his Kepling Flooring, Tye Tworg Longhorn, Joyride Transportation, Smitley Towing, Short Stop, Malcuit Race Engines, Wilson Realty Agent Robin Jakubick, RL Bond Septic, Hepthorn Golf Cart Sales, House of Spud, K&B Septic Service, Coffman Composites, Team Midwest Paint, Platinum Design backed #1*

Fremont, Ohio’s Jamie Miller used a restart on lap 10 of the Fremont Fence 305 Sprint feature to drive into the lead around Brenden Torok and then ran away from the rest of the field, cruising to a half of a track advantage for his third win of the year at Attica. Torok, Dustin Stroup, Seth Schneider and Logan Riehl – who stormed from the rear of the field after being involved in an opening lap tangle – rounded out the top five.

Miller’s 42nd career Attica win pads his lead in the track points and the NAPA of Bryan Attica Fremont Championship Series Presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales.

“I was so worried if I ran the top too hard…I hooked one of those holes on the second lap and I thought I was going to flip this thing. I just kind of tip-toed around waiting for someone to pass me. I just kept moving around and figured it out not to bounce around on the track and we ended up here,” 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, Reedtown Tavern, Fostoria Mod Shop, Sandy’s Dad, Gressman Powersports, Phil Rister, Slade Shock Technology backed #26.

Attica Raceway Park will kick off the 42nd Annual Ohio Sprint Speedweek – nine straight nights of racing across Ohio – on Friday, June 7 for the Bert and Brigitte Emick Classic featuring the Ti22 FAST on Dirt sprints going for $6,000 to win. The UMP late models will also be in action vying for $2,000 to win.
