The fans of Attica Raceway Park have spoken and voted the duel between Brian Arnold & Art Ball on May 6th, which saw Arnold victorious as their favorite Dirt Truck moment of the 2011 race season!

That night saw Arnold drive to the lead at the drop of the green from his outside front row starting spot with fourth place starter Art Ball and Dwight Waltermeier in tow. Just as Arnold hit lapped traffic on lap four, the caution would fly for a multi-truck pile-up. On the restart, Ball would drive to Arnold ’s inside and the the pair would raced side-by-side for nearly the remainder of the race. Ultimately Arnold would out duel Ball for his only feature win of the season.

he fans of Attica Raceway Park have spoken and voted Caleb Griffith’s checkers and wreckers feature win on August 5th as their favorite 305 Sprint Car moment of the 2011 race season with nearly 70% of the votes collected.

When Paige Polyak and Caleb Griffith hit turn three for the final time, Griffith blasted to the inside and slid up beside Polyak, who drifted down. The pair banged wheels as they exited turn four and both tried to hold on and race to the checkers. Both went spinning across the start-finish line with Griffith winning by a nose. The exciting finish brought the fans at Attica Racewya Park to their feet that night and made for a rememberable first-career feature win for Griffith at “Ohio’s Finest Racing” speed plant.
