By Brian Liskai ATTICA, Ohio – Cap Henry is making things exciting in the drive to the Kistler Racing Products Fremont Attica Sprint Title (FAST) Championship Series Presented by KS Sales and Service title. The Bellevue, Ohio driver led all 30 laps at Attica Raceway Park Friday to garner his second win of the season at the track and tighten the point battle for the $10,000 Kistler Cup.

Henry came into the night second in the FAST standings, only 40 points behind two times series champion Byron Reed. He would gain very valuable points as Reed would finish fourth. With Attica’s points for the O’Reilly Auto Parts 410 Sprints also paying $10,000 this year, former track champion Dean Jacobs padded his point lead with a solid second place run as well on Culy Contracting/Smith Family Foods Night.

“I was trying to pace myself and not catch those guys (lapped cars) too soon and ran the top in one and two one lap to open up the bottom to see if someone was down there and I saw Dean and I was like ‘better get back to blocking’ because it’s one go with him,” said Henry beside his Genzman Racing, Ludwig Propane, Level Performance, Kear’s Speed Shop, Handy Grafix, J&J Auto Racing backed #53.

“This whole team…Guy, Marilyn, Ralph, Jamie and David…they’ve been working really hard. It’s actually been a lot of fun. We put this car away for a little while and got it back out and I think we made the right decision,” added Henry of his fourth career Attica win.

A couple of weeks ago Rocky Owens lost a feature on the last lap by a bumper. This Friday Owens patiently waited until five laps to go and started to pressure race-long leader Ryan Missler and took the lead with four laps to go. Owens, from Mansfield, Ohio, would drive to his second career win at Attica against the Sunoco American Late Model Series stars.

“This car has been fantastic the last three weeks here. I’ve got a great group of people helping me this year and it’s starting to show now. Doug Heath is the owner and he’s keeping us going. My dad and Rod Lucas and Steve Day and Shawn…we all put what all we have into this and Doug keeps us going. I have to thank him for everything,” said Owens beside his sponsorless #29.

“I had to bide my time. I kept peaking over at the laps and I was waiting until about five to go and really start pushing it,” added Owens.

Fremont’s Bobby Clark would battle Dustin Stroup for several laps before taking the lead with 10 to go in Foster’s Auto Body 305 Sprint feature and driving away to his second straight victory at Attica. It is his 18th career 305 sprint win at the track and moves him into a tie with Phil Gressman for fourth on the track’s all-time win list. Clark has 7 victories thus far in 2015 including four at Fremont and one at Millstream to go with his two at Attica.

“I kind of looked at the scoreboard and saw Weaver (Paul) had stuck up there and so I thought I better move it. Hopefully we can keep picking up a few more. My crew is phenomenal and has these cars working well. We have three cars and all of them work good,” said Clark beside his Fremont Fence, Nagy Equipment, Big D’s Pizza, Kear’s Speed Shop, B&L Plumbing and Heating, Miller Rigging, Shelluke’s Bar, Willey’s Towing, Kistler Engines, Schiets Motorsports backed machine.

In the Fremont Fence Dirt Trucks, Matt Foos would rub fenders with Dan Roepke Jr. coming to the checkers to score a close victory. It was his third win of the season at Attica and the fifth of his career at the track.

“I tried to pinch him (Roepke) as cleanly as possible without tearing both of these things up. He was pretty respectful of me and I am of him and it worked out,” said Foos beside his Fremont Fence, Level Performance, Automatic Fire Protection, M&L Excavating, Pit Stop Convenience Stores, CA Kustoms, D&R Transmissions backed #2.

“What are the chances that a wrench falls down and busts my car owner in the lip. I put the radiator in at five o’clock today but we made it. So appreciative of all the guys who help me…what a year. We deserve this after the rough two weeks we had,” added Foos.

The 30 lap feature for the 410 sprints would see Henry and Nate Dussel in the front row with Henry gaining the advantage when the green flew. Henry would lead Dussel, DJ Foos, Dean Jacobs, Craig Mintz, Broc Martin and Byron Reed when the only caution would fly on lap five for Gary Taylor.

On the restart Henry would pull away slightly from Dussel while Foos and Jacobs battled for third. Jacobs would take the position on lap 10 and moved into second on lap 12 when Dussel bobbled. As the leaders raced into lapped traffic on lap 14 Jacobs was driving under Henry to challenge with Foos, Dussel, Mintz, Martin, Reed, Tyler Gunn and Caleb Griffith in pursuit.

Henry would patiently pick his way through traffic with Jacobs staying within striking distance. With seven laps to go the battle on the track was for third between Foos, Dussel and Reed. Dussel would take the third spot on lap 24 with Reed moving into fourth on lap 26, bringing Mintz to fifth.

With two laps to go Henry and Jacobs were in heavy lapped traffic which allowed Dussel to close. Henry would pick his way through and drove to the win over Jacobs, Dussel, Reed and Mintz.

Ryan Missler and Steve Casebolt brought the field to green for the 30 lap ALMS feature with Missler gaining the upper hand over Casebolt, Matt Westfall, Owens and Ky Harper. The caution would fly on lap two for a Josh Haynes spin with the restart order Missler, Westfall, Casebolt, Owens, Harper, Ryan Unzicker, Ryan Markham, Rich Bell and Doug Drown.

Missler was able to pull away slightly with Westfall, Casebolt and Owens locked in a tremendous battle that would continue to the halfway point. Ben Mott would spin in turn four right in front of the lead cars to bring out the only other caution of the feature.

On the restart Missler led Owens, Westfall and Casebolt as the later trio continued a great battle for second. By lap 17, Owens was showing he was better than Missler on the bottom of turns three and four while Missler was better in the middle of turns one and two.

With five laps to go Owens was racing side by side with Missler in turns three and four with Westfall, a charging Unzicker, Drown and Casebolt in pursuit. Owens would lead by a bumper on lap 26 as Missler raced to his outside over the next four laps.

As Owens took the white flag he had pulled away to a two car length lead over Missler. Owens drove to the win over Missler, Westfall, Unzicker and Drown.

Steve Rando and Dustin Stroup brought the field to green for the 25 lap 305 sprint feature but before a lap could be scored Landon LaLonde would tip over in turn three. On the restart Rando would grab the lead over Stroup with Kyle Capodice, Clark, Trey Jacobs, Luke Griffith, Brandon Moore, Alex Hill and Paul Weaver giving chase.

Stroup would pressure Rando for the lead while Capodice and Clark battled for third. The caution would fly on lap eight with the running order Rando, Stroup, Clark, Capodice, Jacobs, Griffith and Weaver. Rando would get a great restart and continue to lead Stroup, Clark, Capodice and a closing Weaver.

Stroup would drive under Rando for the lead on lap 12 with Clark also working to the inside as he took second on lap 13 and quickly closed on Stroup. Stroup and Clark battled side by side over the next couple of laps before Clark took the lead on lap 15.

The leaders raced into traffic on lap 18 with Clark leading Stroup, Rando and Weaver. A caution for debris on lap 19 helped Rando who had drive off the high side of turn two and lost several spots. He was able to restart third with six laps to go.

When the green flew Clark did as well, driving away from Stroup with Weaver, taking third from Rando. Weaver would challenge Stroup for second the last hand full of laps but couldn’t get the pass completed. Clark drove to the victory over Stroup, Weaver, Rando and Jacobs.

Eric Devanna and Foos brought the field to green for the 15 lap dirt truck feature. But, before a lap could be completed Brandon Stuckey would spin. On the next green Foos would grave the lead but Devanna kept pressure with Roepke, Dustin Keegan and Brian Arnold staying close. Foos would have a slight lead over Devanna who was getting pressure from Roepke.

The caution would fly on lap five for Randy Ryan with the running order Foos, Roepke, Devanna, Keegan, Arnold, Keith Sorg, Dana Fry and Brandon Leighton. When the green flew the battle between Foos and Roepke began as the pair raced side by side for the next eight laps until a Curt Inks spin with just two laps to go.

On the restart Foos protected the bottom line with Roepke racing to his outside while Devanna and Fry were locked in a good battle for third. As they hit turns three and four the final lap Roepke drove to Foos’ outside. Foos let his truck drift upward and the two made contact as they drove to the checkers.

Foos would get the narrow win over Roepke, Devanna, Fry, and Sorg.

ATTICA, Ohio – Usually when a driver joins a new team it takes awhile for all the elements to gel. Not so for Stuart Brubaker.

The Gibsonburg, Ohio driver took the lead from Dean Jacobs at the half-way point and went on to score his third straight win at Attica Raceway Park in the O’Reilly Auto Parts 410 Sprints on Columbus Equipment/Comfort Keepers Night.

Brubaker, a former 305 sprint track champion, joined the Burmeister Racing Team over the winter after having fielded his own 410 sprint team the past couple of years. And this combination is proving to be a force to be reckoned with. Not only has Brubaker won three straight, but he is in contention to win the $10,000 Attica point championship as he came into the night third in the standings only 16 points behind Jacobs.

And, he gained more valuable points in the hunt for the $10,000 Kistler Racing Products Fremont Attica Sprint Title (FAST) Championship Series Presented by KS Sales and Service. At the beginning of the night he was fifth in the FAST Standings.

“This is awesome. When Byron (Reed) got past me I was like ‘MAN this ain’t good…he’s pretty fast.’ I stuck the wing back there on that yellow and this thing just stuck and I kept driving the wheels off it,” said Brubaker of his Schiets Tender Touch Car Wash, Dave Story Equipment; Stephen P. Mapus Productive Tools, Randy Beeker Excavating, Adkins Fence and Sanitation, Huffman Tools, Kistler Racing Products, Kistler Engines backed machine.
“I got through traffic well. I cleared one down in one and two around the top and I figured someone was going to get me…I spun the wheels in all the dust up there. Thanks to all my team….Burmeister Racing is amazing,” continued Brubaker of his Meggit Sandblasting, Advantage Ford, Schiets Motorsports, Burmeister Plowing backed #16.

Wooster, Ohio’s “Hammer Down” Doug Drown was going to quit racing a year ago. He was struggling and wasn’t having fun. Then a phone call from Leroy Hall to drive his late model along with the regular driver Charlie Duncan agreeing to step aside, turned his career around. He led all 25 laps to record his fifth win of the season in the Summit Racing Equipment UMP Late Models at Attica.

“The car has been awesome. I can’t complain. The guys are doing a great job. I was a little nervous…everyone thinks it’s easy but it’s not. We’re still guessing like everybody else. I just picked the center of the race track because it was the brownest since the sprints were either below it or above it,” said Drown beside his Hall’s Auto Sales, Malcuit Racing Engines, Nationwide Vehicle Protection, Wooster Glass, Kar Konnections backed #240.

“This is the best season of my career. It’s crazy to think I was going to quit. Leroy Hall and Charlie Duncan gave me this opportunity and it’s definitely more fun. I know winning is fun but this is a great group too. I have the right people around me and when you have good people around you good things happen,” added Drown.

Fremont’s Bobby Clark came into the night with four wins on the season – all coming at Fremont Speedway in the 305 sprint division. He was winless at Attica. But that turned around Friday in the Foster’s Auto Body 305 Sprints as he took the lead from Ricky Peterson on lap 11 and then held off Jordan Ryan for the victory, the 17th of his career in the division at Attica.

For Clark, the win keeps him atop the JLH General Contractor 305 FAST Championship Series Presented by Engine Pro points. He also closed the gap in the Attica point standings as he came into the night in third behind Ryan and Jamie Miller.

“Last year was just the opposite…we’d win here and not at Fremont. This is actually the car we won here last year with. We made a car swap again and it turned out good. I saw Jordan (Ryan) got second and I knew I had to protect the bottom. Hat’s off to my crew. We weren’t so good in the heat and they just kept tweaking on it,” said Clark of his Fremont Fence, Schiets Motorsports, Kistler Engines, Kear’s Speed Shop, B&L Plumbing, Nagy Equipment Sales, Miller Rigging, Shelluke’s Bar, Willey’s Towing, Big D’s Pizza, Fremont Auto Parts backed #8.

Woodville’s Daniel Roepke Jr. hasn’t raced a whole lot this year, but he looked in midseason form in the Fremont Fence Dirt Trucks. He used a lap truck to hold back leader Brian Arnold and drove around on the last lap for his 9th career Attica win.

“Most of the time you just have to be patient and see what happens at the end. This time it worked out for us. I was behind Matt (Foos, early race leader) and saw lots of smoke coming and I was waiting for that to let go. And then I saw that lapped truck down there and new he would get caught up with Arnold so I went to the outside and it worked out,” said Roepke.

The 30-lap 410 sprint feature got off to a rocky start. While working to get lined up for the race, defending track champion Caleb Griffith got into the turn three cushion and flipped. He was okay but done for the night.

Rob Chaney and Dean Jacobs would bring the field to green but before a lap could be scored Tyler Gunn would spin. On the ensuing green, Jacobs – who has a pair of wins at Attica this season – grabbed the lead over Chaney, Craig Mintz, Cap Henry, Bryan Lay, Brubaker, Byron Reed and Jordan Ryan.

A yellow on lap two for Brock Martin kept the field close to Jacobs. When the green flew so did Jacobs, opening up a six car length lead while Chaney bobbled on the cushion in turn four, moving Mintz and Henry to second and third.
Meanwhile, Brubaker, who was originally scheduled to start 10th but rolled off eighth because a scratch and the early crash, was on the move, taking fourth from Chaney on lap five. Jacobs rocketed into lapped traffic by the seventh circuit as he led Mintz, Henry, Brubaker, Chaney, Reed, Lay, Ryan and Chris Andrews.

Henry would spin in turn two on lap eight as he was battling Mintz. On the ensuing restart Brubaker would drive around Mintz into second with Reed rolling into fourth. Reed would drive around Mintz for third on lap 11 and closed on Jacobs and Brubaker.

At the half-way point, Brubaker drove low in turns three and four and rocketed into the lead. Two laps later as the leaders raced into heavy lapped traffic, Reed would take second from Jacobs.

With 10 laps to go Brubaker was picking his way through the lapped cars with Reed, Jacobs, Mintz, Lay, Chaney and a resurgent Gunn giving chase. Every time Reed would cut into Brubaker’s advantage the leader would clear traffic and pull away. A very good battle for third was underway between Jacobs and Mintz.

Brubaker hit his marks perfectly and drove to the win over Reed, Jacobs, Mintz and Lay.

In the 25-lap late model feature, Markham and Drown would bring the field to green with Drown gaining the upper hand over Markham, Matt Irey, Josh Haynes, Mike Bores, Chris Keller and Larry Kingseed. Drown would pull away slightly as a tremendous battle ensued for second involving Markham, Haynes and Irey.

As Drown’s lead grew to six car lengths, Haynes would take second on lap four only to see Markham retake the spot a lap later. Action ground to a half on lap five when John Bores flipped over the banking in turn one. He was not injured.

When the green flew Drown pulled away again with Markham, Haynes, Irey, Mike Bores, a closing Rocky Owens, Keller, Devin Shiels and Kingseed in tow. Irey would take third on lap nine just before the caution flew for a Mike Bores spin.
When the green would reappear Drown could not shake Markham and Irey as Owens moved into fourth. Once Drown got his momentum back he would pull away as Markham now had his hands full with Irey and Owens while Haynes battled with Shiels and Keller.

The final caution would fly on lap 17 for a Nate Potts spin with the restart order Drown, Markham, Irey, Owens, Haynes, Keller, Shiels and a closing Rusty Schlenk. Irey would grab second on lap 18 and started to close on Drown. Markham would rally to challenge Irey with three laps to go.

Drown would drive the middle of the track to perfection to take the win over Irey, Markham, Owens and Keller.
In the 25 lap 305 sprint feature, Jason Keckler and Ricky Peterson paced the field with Peterson taking the lead. Fourth starter Clark would jump into second on lap three, bringing Jordan Ryan to third. Jamie Miller – who had won the last two features at Attica – would climb into fourth on lap four. The car on the move was Paul Weaver who drove into sixth from his 10th starting spot in just six laps.

The caution would fly on lap eight for a Kelsey Ivy spin with the running order Peterson, Clark, Ryan, Miller, Weaver, Seth Schneider, Keckler, Dan McCarron, Kyle Capodice and Dustin Stroup.

On the restart both Clark and Ryan pressured Peterson and Clark would drive to the outside of turn four on lap 11 to take the lead with the caution soon flying for a Frank Neill spin. On the restart Ryan would drive into second and closed on Clark. A lap later and Weaver drove around Peterson into third and closed quickly on Ryan.

Steve Rando would spin on lap 17 for the feature’s final caution. On the restart it was a three car battle with Clark, Ryan and Weaver pulling away from Peterson, Stroup, Schneider and Dustin Dinan. Once the laps started to tick off, Clark would pull away with Ryan edging away from Weaver.

Clark would drive to the win over Ryan, Weaver, Stroup and Peterson.

In a non-stop 15 lap dirt truck feature, Dana Fry and Brandon Leighton brought the field to green. Leighton would grab the slim lead over Matt Foos, Frey, Brian Arnold and Roepke. The top five would put on a whale of a show with Foos taking the lead by a bumper on lap four.

With six laps in the running order was Foos, Leighton, a closing Arnold, Roepke, Frey and Eric Devanna. Arnold would take second on lap seven and immediately closed on Foos.

By lap 9 it was a three truck battle involving Foos, Arnold and Roepke. That battle would continue until Foos’ motor went up in flames with three laps to go and he ducked into the pits. Not the leader was Arnold over Roepke, Leighton, Frey and Devanna.

After taking the white flag, Arnold, who was on the bottom of the track, would run up on a lapped truck and Roepke used the opportunity pounce and drove to the outside to take the lead.

Roepke would edge Arnold for the win with Leighton, Frey and Devanna rounding out the top five.
