Weaver takes the loot in 305 Engine Builders Challenge at Attica; Drown gets 2nd late model victory; Roepke back in truck win column

By Brian Liskai Attica, Ohio – Paul Weaver didn’t like how his season started. So, the Fremont, Ohio veteran put together a different 305 sprint car and it paid off as he led all 30 laps for the $1,200 pay day at Attica Raceway Park Friday in the Engine Builders’ Challenge presented by Level Performance and Gressman Powersports.

“I just knew I wasn’t getting off the bottom. I learned my lesson last year racing with Jordan (Ryan). This feels great especially after struggling all summer long. I bought a car this winter that I had run a couple of years ago but no luck and put this one back together and it looks like we’ll keep this one going,” said Weaver beside his Schiets Motorsports/Tender Touch Car Wash/Weaver Performance/Hampshire Racing Engines/Fostoria Mod Shop/M&L Excavating/Buckeye Mobile Coating backed machine.

It was Weaver’s 33rd career 305 sprint win at Attica as he sits atop the all-time win list at the track.

Last week Doug Drown was involved in an on-track altercation with another driver and ended his night in the pits with a broken race car. To make matters worse, the Wooster, Ohio driver was sick all week. But, he was able to leave put all that behind him as he held off a charging Rusty Schlenk to record his second win of the season in the Summit Racing Equipment UMP Late Models. It is his eighth career win at Attica and opens the Attica/Wayne County Speedway Late Model Challenge Series.

“Last week was an idiot move on my part last week. I definitely shouldn’t have been like that. I apologize to my fans and even the ones who aren’t my fans. That’s no way to act. My temper got the best of me. But this definitely makes up for it. Getting the win last week at Wayne County and now this,” said Drown beside his Halls Auto Sales/Kar Konnections/Malcuit Racing Engines/Nationwide Vehicle Protection/Wooster Glass backed machine.

“I’ve been sick all week. I haven’t even seen the race car until today. Dave Miller came over Thursday and got everything ready. My brother, Dan, Steve with the tires, and obviously Leroy for providing everything for us to be able to do what we do. Just very fortunate. I have to thank my wife for taking care of me all week and finally getting me to the hospital,” added Drown.

“The track was great. I didn’t know where to go and when I saw Rusty (Schlenk) in second…he’s so experienced here. He can find grip where most people can’t. That’s why I went to the top. I figured if he goes to the bottom at least I could see him coming. Instead of getting caught by surprise on the outside,” concluded Drown.

Dan Roepke Sr. came out of retirement to grab the win in the Fremont Fence Dirt Truck feature. It was his second career win at Attica. He took over the truck that his son had drive in the past

“He had a wedding to go to tonight…he’s out doing other things. I’m glad he’s not here to night…I’ll take it,” said Roepke. “I have to thank my wife…she puts up with this.”

Weaver and John Ivy would bring the field to green for the 30-lap 305 sprint feature but Bobby Clark would spin before a lap could be completed. When the green flew Weaver took the lead over Ivy, T.J. Michael, Seth Schneider, Alvin Roepke, Jordan Ryan and Luke Griffith.

Michael would get by Ivy for second on the fourth lap with Roepke moving into fourth. Roepke would take third on lap six when the caution flew for a Steve Rando spin. Several cars were working their way to the front including Rick Peterson who drove from 18th to 10th and Kyle Capodice who was up to 12th from 22nd.

Weaver would pull away when the green came back out with Michael staying close while Roepke and Ivy locked up in a good battle for third. With 10 laps in another car on the move was Nate Dussel who started ninth and was up to fourth. Dussel would drive around Roepke for third on the next lap and immediately challenged Michael for second.

Weaver would catch the back of the field on lap 17 and that allowed Michael, Dussel and Roepke to close with Schneider, Ryan, Capodice and Ivy in tow. With 7 laps to go Dussel drove into second and closed to within a car length of Weaver.

Weaver picked the right places on the track to dispose of lapped cars and drove away the final four laps. He would take the checkers over Dussel, Michael, Roepke and Ryan.

Drown and Dave Hornikel paced the field in the 25-lap late model feature that would see only one caution flag, that for debris on lap 12.

Hornikel would get the jump on Drown to lead the first lap with Chris Keller, Schlenk, Ryan Markham and Greg Haskell in pursuit. Drown drove around Hornikel for the lead on lap 2 but Hornikel continued to race hard to his inside with Keller joining the fray on lap three.

Keller took second on lap four, but would slide off the track a lap later, moving Hornikel back to the runner-up spot with Schlenk, Larry Kingseed, Markham and Matt Irey staying close. Schlenk would pressure Hornikel for second and would take the spot on lap eight.

Meanwhile Drown had built a sizeable lead and the action for fourth was exciting involving Markham, Irey, Kingseed and Mike Bores. Drown drove into heavy lapped traffic by lap 11 with Schlenk and Hornikel closing.

The debris caution came out on lap 12, giving Drown a clear track. When the green flew he could not shake Schlenk who stayed glued to the leader’s rear bumper. Hornikel would continue to run third with Irey finally winning the battle for fourth with Markham, Bores and Rocky Owens in tow.

With just three laps to go the leaders were once again in heavy traffic and Drown was locked in a great battle with Schlenk with Hornikel, Irey, Markham and Bores reeling in the top two. Drown would pick his way through the lapped cars and would drive to the win over Schlenk, Hornikel, Irey and Markham.

Kyle Cline and Steve Endicott brought the field to green for the 15 lap dirt truck feature but Brian Arnold would stop on the speedway to necessitate another start. When the green flew it was Cline with the advantage over Matt Foos, Endicott, Dana Fry, Roepke, Keith Sorg and Brandon Leighton.

Foos would challenge Cline for the lead on lap two with Roepke bolting into third. With just five laps scored it was a three truck battle for the lead between Cline, Foos and Roepke. Roepke would drive under and around Foos and Cline to take the lead on lap six.

As Roepke pulled away Foos and Cline battled for second with Fry, Endicott and Leighton staying close. Roepke would drive to the win over Foos, Fry, Endicott and Sorg.

Attica and Wayne County Late Model Challenge Returns For Second Year

After a successful first year that saw 60 drivers compete in the seven race series, one rainout, track promoters John Bores of Attica Raceway Park along with Jason and Kristin Flory of Wayne County Speedway have announced the dates of the second annual Super Late Model Series for the two tracks.

All the races will be double week-end events as ARP will kick the series off on Friday, May 8th and then move down to WCS on Saturday May 9th. The Series will return to action on the week-end of July 17th (ARP) and 18th (WCS) and then again two weeks later on Friday, August 7th (ARP) and Saturday, August 8th (WCS). The final week-end of the Super Late Model Series will happen on Friday, August 21st at Attica Raceway Park and then end up at Wayne County Speedway on Saturday, August 22nd. There will be a $10 entry fee for each race.

The purse will be the same as last year with the feature winner collecting $1,500 and it will pay $200 to start the features. The Series Champion will pocket $1,500 with the runner-up getting $750 as third place will receive $550 and $450 to fourth as fifth place will collect $400. All of the top 10 in points will receive a $100 gift card from Summit Racing and the driver who scores the most heat wins will get a $250 credit on a wrap from Innovative Graphics. Additional awards are still being worked on for this season.

Attica Raceway Park is using the UMP rules and each car must use a Hoosier LM 20, 30 or 40 on all fours. Wayne County Speedway will go with the same Hoosier Tire rule but will also allow American Racer 44 or harder tires. Hoosier Tire will give a new tire to the highest finisher at each track.

Ashland’s Ryan Markham was the Series champion last year followed by Mike Bores, Shane McLoughlin, Larry Kingseed and Keith Berner.

Dean Jacobs rockets to 2nd Attica win Ryan Markham gets wild late model victory; Jordan Ryan earns 4th straight 305 sprint win

By Brian Liskai

ATTICA, Ohio – Dean Jacobs has been very close to winning the $10,000 Kistler Racing Products Fremont Attica Sprint Title (FAST) Championship Series and it has made him even more determined to hoist one of those Kistler Cups.

The Wooster, Ohio driver is off to a FAST start toward that goal as he drove to his second series win of the season in the O’Reilly Auto Parts 410 Sprints at Attica Raceway Park Friday on Sutton Bank night. The victory aboard the Joe and Diane Seeling owned #97 was his 12 career victory at “Ohio’s Finest Racing” venue.

“Actually I didn’t want to see any cautions at all. With the lapped traffic…I could run the top if I had to. The car was better on the bottom but if I needed to go up there I could and pass cars. Floyd (Green) and Ronnie (Landin)…they are working very hard to give me a good race car and it shows. We’ve won two races out of four. I can run the car anywhere I want as hard as I want to,” said Jacobs beside his Northwest Ohio Towing 7 Recovery/NAPA Truck and Auto Center/Beaverdam Fleet Services/Sugar Street Bar and Grill backed machine.

“We’re going to give it a hell of a try this year to win the FAST title and both Attica and Fremont’s championships…that would be a $25,000 payday,” said Jacobs with a big grin.

In a crash-filled Summit Racing Equipment UMP Late Model feature, Ashland, Ohio’s Ryan Markham would hold off Rusty Schlenk’s last lap charge to claim his first win of 2015. It was his fifth career Attica victory.

“We’ve had a fast car here all year…we’ve just not had any luck. I just tried to be patient out there. This track is fast and right now everyone is just hammer down. I want to thank all the fans for coming, my wife, Lora, my daughter Emma and Logan and all my sponsors. I’m glad to get this first win,” said Markham of his Cool It Thermo Tech/H&T Demolition/Lias Tire by Tye Twarog, Accu-Force backed #5m.

“I knew he (Ryan Missler) had been running the middle and his car was a little too tight to rotate on the bottom. We’ve been fighting that same problem all year and we’ve been making adjustments to try and free the car up so it would rotate on the bottom,” added Markham.

After a tremendous early race battle involving Jordan Ryan, Steve Rando and Jamie Miller, Ryan would pull away the last five laps of the Foster’s Auto Body 305 Sprint feature to record his fourth win in a row. It is the defending track champion’s 9th career win at Attica.

“My dad’s got the car perfect. It’s just sitting on the left rear just like I like it so I can drive the bottom. It’s hard for me to mess up when he’s got the car like that. He has it perfect every week,” said Ryan of his Frosty Frog/Sandwisch Hay and Straw/Village Pizza house/KDB Rentals/Burns Electric/Kistler Racing Products/Griff’s Engines/Big D’s Lawncare/Walton’s Cutting Crew/Precision Body and Frame backed machine.

Rookie Nate Dussel and Jimmy Light would bring the field to green for the 30 lap 410 feature with Dussel gaining the advantage as Jacobs drove into second bring Craig Mintz to third. Light would spin in turn four and Broc Martin in turn two after a lap was completed.

On the ensuing restart Jacobs would drive around Dussel to take the lead with Mintz, Cap Henry, Duane Zablocki, Byron Reed and Jody Keegan in tow. Mintz grabbed second on lap four as Dussel, Henry, Keegan, Reed, D.J. Foos and Zablocki gave chase.

The leaders would hit lapped traffic by the ninth circuit with Jacobs leading Mintz, Dussel, Keegan, Reed, Henry and Foos. Zablocki would bring out the caution on lap 13 with the running order Jacobs, Mintz, Dussel, Keegan, Reed, Henry and Foos.

When the green flew so did Jacobs, pulling away slightly from Mintz as Dussel and Keegan battled for third. Keegan would take the third position at the half-way point. Jacobs and Mintz drove away from the pack as Keegan, Dussel, Foos, Henry, Caleb Griffith and Chris Andrews gave chase.

With 18 laps scored Jacobs and Mintz had comfortable advantages but the battle for third was fun to watch between Keegan, Dussel and Foos. Foos would take the third spot on lap 19 as the leaders began to race into lapped traffic.

The caution would fly with four laps to go when Henry spin in turn four. On the restart Gary Taylor would spin in turn two. When the green flew for the third time Jacobs could not shake Mintz with Foos, Reed, Dussel, Keegan, Griffith and a closing Stuart Brubaker in tow.

Jacobs and Mintz ran nose to tail the last four laps with Jacobs rocketing to the win. Mintz, Foos, Reed and Dussel would round out the top five.

Devin Shiels and Rick Bond brought the field of late models to green for their 25 lap affair. Shiels would gain the upper hand over Bond, Kyle Moore, Ryan Missler, Chris Keller, Matt Irey, Markham and Schlenk. The first caution would fly after a lap was scored when Josh Haynes spun.

On the restart Missler would rocket to the high side and drive into the lead, as Shiels suffered mechanical issues as did Bond as both retired to the pits. Missler would lead Moore and Keller when the yellow fell again for a Ken Hahn spin with only two laps in.

On the restart Missler pulled away from Moore with Irey, Keller, Markham, Schlenk and Dave Hornikel in pursuit. Irey would grab second on lap four as a tremendous battle ensued for third between Moore, Markham and Keller.

The third caution of the feature would fly on lap six for a Ben Mott spin. On the restart Missler again pulled away as Irey had his hands full with Moore, Markham and Keller. Markham would take third on lap seven with Moore, Schlenk, Keller, Hornikel and Doug Drown staying close. The caution would fly for another Mott spin on lap eight. On the ensuing restart Irey would nearly spin and stopped.

While lining back up Moore and Drown got into an on track altercation. As Drown tried to get to the infield Moore would drive around the track, searched Drown out and blasted into his race car. Moore would be disqualified from the feature.

On the ensuing restart Freddie Carpenter would fly off the banking in turn one for yet another caution. When the green fly once more Missler would be challenged by Markham with Schlenk and Keller in tow.

Markham would drive under Missler for the lead on lap 10 with Schlenk, Keller, Hornikel, Mike Bores, Cody Scott and Larry Kingseed in pursuit. By lap 13 Markham was pulling away from Missler with Schlenk, Keller and Hornikel locked up in a great battle for third.

With seven laps to go Keller would retire to the pits as Markham held a comfortable lead over Missler, Schlenk, Hornikel, Mores and Scott. Bores and Scott would tangle on lap 22 with Jim Gingery spinning to avoid the stopped cars.

On the restart Markham could not shake Missler who had his hands full with Schlenk with Hornikel and Irey staying close. After taking the white flag, Schlenk would blast away at the high groove to take second and closed quickly on Markham. Markham would drive the middle of the track to perfection and held off Schlenk for the win with Missler, Irey and Hornikel rounding out the top five.

In the 25-lap 305 feature it was rookie Alex Hill and Jamie Miller leading the field to green but a bad start necessitated a caution during which Jeremy Duposki would flip. He was uninjured.

On the second start Miller would gain the advantage over Steve Rando, Hill, Ryan, Seth Schneider, Trey Jacobs, Tyler Street and Bobby Clark. Ryan would move into third a lap later and the battle for the lead between Miller, Rando and Ryan was on. Dylan Kingan would spin on lap four. When the green flew the three cars battle resumed. Ryan would take second on lap seven held a narrow lead over Miller on the next lap.

The leaders raced into traffic by the 10th lap with Ryan still clinging to a small lead over Miller with Rando, Schneider, Clark, Jacobs, Ricky Peterson, Hill and Kyle Capodice in pursuit.

Ryan would begin to pull away until the caution flew on lap 15. Ryan bolted away on the restart as Miller, Rando, Clark, Schneider, Peterson, Jacobs, Paul Weaver, Hill and Capodice gave chase. Street would stop on lap 17 for the final caution.

When the green flew so did Ryan as he pulled away from Miller. Rando had his hands full with Clark as Schneider and Peterson tried to close. With five laps to go Ryan was unchallenged while Miller and Clark battled for second and Schneider and Rando traded third back and forth.

Ryan would drive to the victory over Miller, Clark, Schneider and Rando.

Attica Raceway Park will play host to the 305 Engine Builders Challenge paying the feature winner $1,200 on Friday, May 8. It is also the first leg of the Attica Raceway Park/Wayne County Speedway Late Model Challenge with the dirt trucks also in action.
