Chaney Powers To Attica FAST Win; Ross Earns First Late Model Victory; Weaver Back In Victory Lane

By Brian Liskai: (Attica, OH) Rob Chaney knows a good race car when he sits in it. He teamed up with mechanic Daniel Smith Friday on Bud Light, Yuengling Beer, Edward Jones Financial Services Night at Attica Raceway Park Friday and dominated the 30-lap 410 sprint feature.

Chaney led all 30 laps of the O’Reilly Auto Parts 410 Sprint feature for his 9th career Attica win, and even avoided a run-in with a lapped car with two laps to go to dominate the event which was a Kistler Racing Products FAST (Fremont Attica Sprint Title) Championship Series event.

“Well, when you have Byron Reed behind you it might as well be Donny Schatz (four time World of Outlaws champion). There was no chance I was letting up. I don’t care…I would have crashed before I lost that race. When you see that five on the board you know you have to get it on,” said Chaney beside his Hoy’s Bar, Level Performance, Kear’s Speed Shop backed machine.

“It’s the fourth time I’ve run this car. I have to thank Rich Farmer and Daniel Smith. Daniel and I ran 360 car together several years back and won a lot of races and I’ve been looking for an opportunity to get back with him for a long time and I’m real happy to be back racing with him right now,” added Chaney of his third win of 2012, the other two coming at another race track in another car.

“I was just trying to keep up with the car. I haven’t raced that much this year and the track was pretty demanding. I’m not young any more but I tried to pretend I was out there. This car has been fast every time it has hit the track. Shane Stewart ran it some (won an All Star race) and I’ve run it some. It’s a great opportunity for me,” concluded Chaney. “I have to thank, all the fans. You know Attica and Fremont….you go race a lot of places and coming back here…this is one of the best places in the country to race. I hope all the fans realize how lucky they are to have these tracks and the cars that come run at these tracks on a weekly basis.”

In the Summit Racing Equipment UMP Late Models, it looked like Rusty Schlenk was headed to his fourth win of the season at Attica. But, a flat tire handed the lead back to Charing Cross, Ontario, Canada’s Chris Ross, who had led early and then stayed close to Schlenk. Ross then held off Ken Hahn the last five laps for his first career Attica victory.

“He left me in his dust and I thought I was running for second. But then he just started to slow down after that one caution and I thought well maybe we’ll get a little luck our way and get one back. I love coming here. I wish I could come here every Friday, but being three and half hours away and working every day…it’s kind of hard,” said Ross beside his Field Electric, Great Canadian Oil Change, Lube Tech, Autotech, backed #18r.

“I did a lot better than the last time I was here. I almost hit the flagman,” added Ross, who crashed into the front stretch fence, tearing down a big section. “I want to thank my wife, Shelley of course, and Scott Gressman who built me an awesome motor.”

In the Fremont Fence 305 Sprints, Paul Weaver came back after missing six weeks following surgery, and passed defending track champion Nate Dussel on a restart with five laps to go, and went on to his 29th career victory. Weaver first victory of the season keeps him atop the track’s all-time win list for the division.

“Thank God for cautions. The top just looked so much faster I was afraid to go down there. If you wanted to settle for third or fourth you might as well stayed there but I didn’t want to settle,” said Weaver beside his M&L Excavating, Weaver Performance, Buckeye Mobile Coating, Hampshire Engines, Schiets Motorsports backed #1w. “After missing six weeks, if I can wake up and move in the morning I might think about racing tomorrow night. Hopefully none of those other guys can catch me. I have to keep racing and keep adding to my win total.”

F.A.S.T. 410 Sprints – Rob Chaney #29
In the 30-lap O’Reilly Auto Parts 410 Sprint feature, Chaney and Reed would bring the field to the green with Chaney taking a big lead over Reed, Chris Bell, Brian Lay, Craig Mintz and Caleb Helms. After two laps were scored, Travis Philo would spin to wipe out Chaney’s big lead. But when the green reappeared, Chaney again blasted to a quick 8 car length lead while Reed had his hands full with Bell.

While battling for third, Helms would spin on lap four to bring out the yellow. Again on the restart, Chaney drove to a commanding lead over Reed, Bell, Mintz, Brandon Martin and Bryan Sebetto. On lap six, Mintz, the Attica point leader, would drive into third.

Chaney would catch the back of the field on lap nine and encountered heavy lapped traffic on by the 11th circuit, allowing Reed to close with Mintz, Martin, Sebetto and Bell in pursuit. But, once clear of the traffic, Chaney again pulled away until the caution flew on lap 20 for Jody Keegan. With 10 laps to go, Chaney had put nearly half the field a lap down, with only 12 cars on the lead lap.

With a clear track, Chaney would again open up a commanding lead when the green came back out with Reed pulling away from Mintz, Martin, Sebetto, Bell, Duane Zablocki and Dean Jacobs. With just three laps remaining, Chaney was again racing into heavy lapped traffic, but Reed and Mintz could not close.

With two circuits to go, Chaney avoided disaster. He made contact with Caleb Helms in turn four as he attempted to put him a lap down. Chaney was able to continue on as he drove away for the win. Reed, Mintz, Martin and Sebetto would round out the top five.

Mintz was able to cut into Sebetto’s lead for the $10,000-to-win Kistler Racing Products FAST Championship Series title while also padding his Attica point lead.

Summit UMP Late Models – Chris Ross #18R
Matt Irey and Ross would bring the field to the green in the 25-lap late model feature, with Ross taking the lead over Irey, Ky Harper, Dan Wallace, Ken Hahn, Rusty Schlenk and Ryan Missler. Ross was able to pull away slightly as Irey and Harper were locked in a great battle for second with Hahn, Schlenk and Wallace also battling for fourth.

The first caution would fly on lap five for a Mike Bores Spin which also saw Harper slide off the track and stop. On the restart, Ross would lead as Schlenk drove into second with Irey, Hahn, Wallace, Chris Keller and Cody Scott in pursuit. Ryan Missler would stop on lap seven with a flat tire to bring out the caution. Ross had his hands full with Schlenk on the restart as Hahn, Irey, Wallace and Keller waged a terrific battle for third.

But, Troy Catterene would spin on lap eight for another caution. Again on the restart, Ross and Schlenk would race side by side for the lead with Hahn, Irey, Wallace, Keller and Scott battling for third while 19th starter Larry Kingseed closed. On lap 12, Schlenk would execute a slider in turns three and four to take the lead. A lap later, and John Bores would spin to bring out another caution.

On the restart, Schlenk was able to pull away from Ross with Hahn and Irey continuing their battle for third. After his early race problems, Harper was also on the move, moving into eighth by lap 14. Scott and Brandon Perkins would spin in separate incidents to bring out the caution with eight laps remaining.

On the restart, Schlenk slipped off the top side of turn two, allowing Ross to close with Hahn and Irey also making up ground. With five laps to go, Schlenk began to slow as Ross drove to his inside with Hahn, Irey and Harper also closing. Ross would grab the lead on lap 21 as Schlenk stopped with a flat right rear tire.

On the restart, Ross would have to hold off a charging Hahn while Irey was locked in a fantastic battle with Harper for third. However, with three laps remaining, Harper would smack into the front stretch wall, ending his great run and bringing out the caution.

Ross was able to drive away from Hahn, Irey, Kingseed and Wallace on the restart. As he came out of turn four to the checkers, Ross nearly drove off the cushion into the front stretch wall, but gathered it back up to score the win over Hahn, Irey, Kingseed and Wallace as only 10 cars finished the event.

F.A.S.T. 305 Sprints – Paul Weaver #1W
Dustin Stroup and Dussel would pace the field to the green in the 25 lap Fremont Fence 305 Sprint feature. Dussel would drive into the lead over Stroup, Weaver, D.J. Foos, Dustin Dinan and Ross Moore. While Dussel pulled away, Foos would take third on lap two, but Weaver would continue to race to his outside.

The first caution would fly on lap seven for a Moore spin. A front torsion bar would fall out of Foos’ mount either just before or during the caution as Weaver had retaken third. With a clear track, Dussel would again pull away from Stroup as Weaver, Foos, Dinan, Jimmy Colvin, Paige Polyak, John Ivy and Steve Rando gave chase.

Zack Kramer would spin on lap 12 with the restart running order Dussel, Stroup, Weaver, Foos, Dinan, Polyak, Colvin, Rando, Ivy, Jordan Ryan and Jamie Miller. Dussel would build up a substantial lead until Tyler Gunn would spin on lap 16, collecting Junior Felver. However, the caution would actually benefit Dussel as it gave him a clear track and kept him out of heavy lapped traffic.

Dussel would drive off when the green reappeared as Stroup now had his hands full with Weaver. Weaver would drive into the runner-up spot on lap 18, and when the caution flew on lap 20 for another Moore spin, it put him right on Dussel’s rear bumper with Stroup, Foos, Dinan, Polyak, Rando and Ryan in pursuit. On the restart, Weaver executed a perfect slider in turns one and two to take the lead.

The caution would fly a lap later for Jamie Miller who made contact with Colvin and spun, collecting Felver. Weaver would then drove away from Dussel the remaining four laps to score the in with Foos holding on to third while Dinan, Stroup and Polyak rounded out the top five.

There will be no racing at Attica next week as the Attica Independent Fair takes place. Ohio’s Finest Racing speed plant will wrap up the 2012 season with three Saturday nights of racing beginning with WNWO NBC Channel 24/Ohio Logistics Night on Aug. 18 with the 410 and 305 sprints, UMP late models and dirt trucks in action.

Sebetto Holds Off Gressman For FAST Attica Win; Schlenk and Rando Get Birthday Wins

By Brian Liskai: (Attica, OH) Bryan Sebetto held off a late race charge by Philo Gressman to take the 410 win and pad his point lead in the Kistler Racing Products FAST (Fremont Attica Sprint Title) Championship Series at Attica Raceway Park Friday. And it was Christmas come early for Rusty Schenk and Steve Rando, as the pair celebrated their birthdays with wins in the late model and 305 sprints respectively.

Sebetto, the defending FAST champion, led all 30 laps of the O’Reilly Auto Parts 410 Sprints feature, but it wasn’t easy, as Gressman made it very interesting the last three laps. But, Sebetto would drive to his third win of the year at Attica on Smith Family Foods/Quality Welding Night.

“It took me forever to find out how to enter tune one right and I only hit it right about five times at the end of the race. And then I got to them lapped cars and there was one on the top and one on the bottom and the middle was no-man’s land and I knew it. So I knew I just had to follow Matt (Linder) around the top and pray that Phil didn’t get to me. I tried to give it away there at the end,” said Sebetto beside his Crown Battery, Gressman Powersports, Hammer Pallets, JLH General Contractors, Meggit Powder Coating backed machine.

“It was dusty getting into turn one and I couldn’t see my line…I just kind of pointed it and went. I’m glad it stuck and Phil drove a heck of a race and he drove me hard and clean and I appreciate that,” added Sebetto whose car carries backing from R3 Nutrition, Big D’s Pizza and Keizer Wheels.

“This car has been good all year. That just shows how hard Randy and Lisa (Hammer) work to put this car on the race track and Aaron and Guhn and Timmy P. and everyone that helps out and all the great sponsors and stand behind us and keep great equipment on the race track,” continued Sebetto.

McClure, Ohio’s Rusty Schlenk battled with Jeff Babcock through most of the 25-lap Summit Racing Equipment UMP Late Model feature before taking the lead with nine laps to go. Schlenk would then hold off Ryan Missler to earn his third win of the year at Attica to give himself a great 26th birthday present.

“Everyone kept asking me if I was going to win on my birthday…it’s been awhile since I’ve won. This is Ron Zeller’s car and he’s always been #1 so we support the #1 when we’re driving his car. We’ve been lined up for a win about three times in this thing and we just couldn’t get any luck. I’m glad I finally got to put it in victory lane for him,” said Schlenk beside his Lazer Chassis, Kercher Engines, Micro-Armor Lubricants, Main & Company, Zeller Automotive backed machine.

“I’ve been lazy all week too and I didn’t want to have to work this hard tonight…it’s my birthday. I knew where the car was fast but when the leader is out there running the line he needs to run…and he (Babcock) was doing exactly what he needed to do I had to kind of find a line that worked. Once we got in the open the car was awesome. I just needed to find the line that worked to get around him,” added Schlenk. “Ron put this car together for us and it’s awesome.”

In the Fremont Fence 305 Sprints, Steve Rando, who celebrated his 28th birthday just two days ago, would lead all 25 laps and survive a late race restart to claim his first win of the season and third career victory at Attica.

“I had to work all day on my birthday, but I’ll take a win tonight and we’ll go celebrate tonight,” said Rando beside his W.W. Demolitions, Kistler Engines, David Fabricators, Attitudes Hair Salon, Northcoast Seeling backed machine. “This time last year I broke my shoulder in two spots so this is a lot better.”

“I started the year with my old car and then we switched over to this car and it handles so much better and I’m learning a lot about set-ups and tonight the car just felt awesome. In these cars we don’t have mirrors so I didn’t know how far we were ahead,” added Rando. “I have to thank Paul Kistler for building my motor…if it weren’t for him I wouldn’t be here. I have to thank Kistler Racing Products, El Tolendo…my uncle Mike, MMZ, my uncle Butch, Loadmaster Trailers, C&T Muffler, and my parents. Too bad my dad’s not here, he’s having problems with his back…he’ll be upset that he’s not here.”

FAST 410 Sprints – Bryan Sebetto #24H
Sebetto and Mike Linder would bring the field to the green in the 410 sprint feature. Sebetto would rocket away to a big lead while Linder battled with Greg Wilson, Phil Gressman and Dave Blaney. The caution would fly on lap four for Todd Heller who stopped on the back stretch, keeping a flying Sebetto out of lapped traffic.

On the restart, Sebetto would pull away while Linder battled with Gressman for second. A multi-car pile-up in turn two on the next lap, which saw Chris Andrews on his side and involved Blaney, Duane Zablocki, Stuart Brubaker and Matt Linder, would prevent Sebetto from driving away from the pack.

Again on the restart Sebetto would drive away, leaving Linder and Gressman to battle for second with Wilson, Jody Keegan, Dean Jacobs, Brandon Martin an Craig Mintz in pursuit. Another caution on lap eight for Travis Philo would again prevent Sebetto from entering lapped traffic but would also erase another big lead.

On the ensuing restart, Gressman, who had taken second just a lap prior to the yellow, would dive to Sebetto’s inside. But, Sebetto would use the high line to rocket away. Again, just as Sebetto was setting sail, the caution would fly, this time for a Brian Smith spin.

This time on the restart, Sebetto would drive away from Gressman as Linder, Wilson, Jacobs, Keegan, Mintz and Martin gave chase. After a spirited battle over several laps, Wilson would take third on lap 16.

Sebetto’s big lead disappeared on lap 18 when Brad Bowman coasted to a stop. This time on the restart Gressman drove to Sebetto’s inside as the two raced side-by-side for the lead. Gressman would inch into the lead on lap 19 as Sebetto drove to his outside. The duo battled side-by-side the next lap until Sebetto was able to hit his outside marks and drive back into the lead on lap 21.

As Sebetto caught the rear of the field on lap 24, Gressman now had his hands full with Wilson with Linder, Jacobs, Martin and Keegan giving chase. With just two laps to go, Gressman and Wilson had caught Sebetto who was patiently trying to negotiate through lapped traffic. As they took the white flag, Gressman was racing to Sebetto’s inside as the duo battled began trading slide jobs. Gressman would dive under Sebetto in turns one and two and Sebetto would return the favor in the next two corners.

As they raced to the checkered, Sebetto was able to maintain his momentum and take the win by a car length over Gressman with Wilson, Linder and Martin rounding out the top five.

Summit UMP Late Models – Rusty Schlenk #91
In the 25-lap late model feature, John Mayes Jr. and Dusty Moore would lead the field to the green, with Mayes gaining the upper hand as fourth-starter Kyle Perry drove into second and Babock took third. Babcock would grab second on lap two with the caution flying on lap four for Ky Harper.

On the restart, something went amiss with Mayes, as he faded and eventually pulled off, handing the lead to Babcock as Schlenk moved into second. A caution would fly for Brandon Perkins who stopped on lap eight.

Babcock would rocket away on the restart with Schlenk trying to hold off Mike Bores for second while Perry, Justin Chance and Ryan Missler would give chase.

With 10 laps recorded, Schlenk had caught Babock and the duo would wage a tremendous battle over the next six laps before Schlenk would take the lead on lap 16. Babcock would continue to apply pressure before the caution would fly on lap 19 for a B.J. Gregory/Ken Hahn scuffle.

On the restart Schlenk continued to have his hands full with Babock, with Bores racing hard with Missler for third. On lap 23, the caution would appear for debris, and on the restart, Schlenk pulled away as something happened to Babock as he quickly fell back through the pack.

Missler would quickly close on Schlenk, but ran out of time. Chance, Bores and Larry Kingside would round out the top five.

FAST 305 Sprints – Steve Rando #19R
Rando and Dustin Stroup would bring the 305 sprint field to the green with Rando quickly jumping out front with Stroup, John Ivy, Nate Reeser, Jason Keckler and Nate Dussel in pursuit. But before a lap could be completed, Kurt Huber would spin and Jeremy Duposki would tip over.

When the green reappeared, Rando would drive away with Stroup comfortably in second while Ivy, Reeser, Dussel, Paige Polyak and Tyler Gunn gave chase. Jess Stiger would spin on lap seven to bunch up the field, but Rando was simply too strong on the restarts as he pulled away from Stroup, Ivy, Reeser and Keckler.

Rando would race into lapped traffic on lap 14, but Stroup could not close. The final caution would fly on lap 16 for debris, during which time Stroup stopped as his car jumped out of gear. On the restart, Rando was simply too strong as he pulled away from Ivy, Reeser, Dustin Dinan, Dussel, Gunn and Polyak.

Rando would race into lapped traffic with two laps remaining, but he picked his way through sent on to the win over Ivy, Reeser, Dinan and Dussel.
