Sebetto, Henry, Weaver, Keegan Take Attica Wins; Jacobs, Missler, Dussel, Dible Earn Championships

By Brian Liskai: (Attica, OH) Bryan Sebetto did everything he could to take the Attica Raceway Park track championship for the O’Reilly Auto Parts 410 Sprints….but came up eight points short.

Sebetto came into Saturday’s Kistler Racing Products/All Pro Cylinder Head Mark Keegan Classic Championship Night third in the points, just a few behind Dean Jacobs. With five laps to go, Sebetto was in second and Jacobs was in eighth and if Sebetto could win and Jacobs would not have advanced any positions, Sebetto would have claimed the track title. When Sebetto passed six time Attica champ Byron Reed for the lead with three laps to go, it looked like that might happen. But, Jacobs got up on the wheel of his Seeling owned machine and finished fifth to earn his Attica championship.

“I didn’t have a very good car. We have a problem right now and we don’t know what it is. We’re blistering a right rear tire and we haven’t done that all year. Something is bound up or something…hopefully we will get it figured out and not let this FAST deal get away from us,” said Jacobs beside his Northwest Ohio Towing & Recovery/NAPA Truck and Auto Center backed #97.

“This is pretty cool, but we’re after the big prize and we have to quit doing this,” added Jacobs who became only the seventh driver to claim a 410 sprint title at Attica since the track opened in 1988.

With the $3,000 victory on a Kistler Racing Products Fremont Attica Sprint Title Championship points race night, Sebetto no leads the quest for the Kistler Cup and its $10,000 pay day with just one more FAST event remaining, that coming at Fremont Speedway on Sept. 10. Sebetto leads Jacobs by just 15 points.

Bellevue, Ohio’s Ryan Missler suffered mechanical woes while leading the Fultz Fabrications and Speed Shop UMP Late Model feature and dropped out. But, his consistent top 10 finishes all year was good enough to earn him his third straight Attica track championship.

Ada, Ohio’s Jon Henry passed five time Attica champion Larry Kingseed with three laps to go to claim his eight Attica late model win of the year. Henry has 14 overall victories in 2011.

“We had this one…we’ve been battling ignition problems the past couple of weeks. The car has been great…Dennis Level builds a hell of a motor…it’s fine, it’s an ignition problem. We had them covered tonight…the car was perfect. I just wish we could have been the only car on the horse track tonight,” said Missler of his track title run.

“I have to thank Taze DJ Service, Quality Welding, Terry McConnell Excavating, Bellevue Beverage Center , J&H Concrete, Twin Lakes Golf Course, York Fabrication and all the supporters,” added Missler.

In the Fremont Fence 305 Sprint feature, Fremont , Ohio ’s Paul Weaver held off Paige Polyak to claim his second straight victory and fourth win of the season. It was his 28th career victory to lead all drivers in the division.

With his fourth place finish, Bradner , Ohio ’s Nate Dussel would wrap up his first career track championship in the 305 sprints.

“This is huge. I owe it all to these guys,” said Dussel pointing to his crew. “When they were pushing out the 410 feature we found out the front end was messed up so we had to rip the whole front end out of it and that’s because of all the hard work we put in this winter…to make sure we had spares.”

“I couldn’t have done this without Scott Gressman, Dave Deyo, Bill…this is only partially me,” added Dussel beside his Berrier Fabrication/Dussel Welding backed machine.

In the Computer Man Dirt Trucks, Willie Keegan held off Cory Ward for his second straight feature win. With his fourth place finish, Fostoria ’s Bob Dible claimed his first ever track championship.

“It’s been a long 10 years coming but I knew something good would happen. I just needed a year when I could keep everything together and stay out of trouble and Attica seemed the place to do that this year,” said Dible beside his Bob’s Machine Shop/BMS Engines backed #17. “Coming over hear I always feel I can be one of the guys to beat and I have a lot of fun racing here.”

FAST 410 Sprints – Bryan Sebetto #16
In the 30 lap 410 sprint feature, Todd Kane would grab the early lead with Reed, Caleb Helms, Kody Kinser, Craig Mintz and Sebetto in tow. Following a Chris Andrews crash, Mintz would drive into third on the restart. With four laps in, Sebetto would vault into the fourth position. Reed would drive under Kane for the lead on lap 12 with Mintz and Sebetto dicing it out for third. Both would drive by Kane on lap 17 as Reed caught the back of the pack.

Reed would continue to lead as Sebetto got around Mintz for second on lap 19. Helms would spin on lap 21 to bring out the caution with the running order Reed, Sebetto, Mintz, 11th starter Sam Hafertepe Jr., Phil Gressman and Kane. Hafertepe would dispose of Mintz for third on lap 23 while Sebetto began to slowly reel in Reed. The final caution would fly for another Helms spin on lap 25. On the ensuing restart, Sebetto and Hafertepe pressured Reed and on lap 27, Sebetto would drive to the high side exiting turn two to grab the top spot. Sebetto would go on to the victory while Hafertepe passed Reed on the last lap for second. Mintz and Dean Jacobs would round out the top five.

“If I couldn’t win the track championship I’m glad Dean won it…he’s one of my good buddies. We ended up second in the points here and took the lead in the FAST points…definitely needed that…that’s the one that pays the big money,” said Sebetto beside his JLH General Contractors/Steven Mapus Tools/Wendy’s Restaurant/Adkins Fence backed #16. “It’s going to be interesting that last FAST race at Fremont . Especially the way I’ve been qualifying…I’ll probably be starting back of the pack.”

“I had to race any where I could go tonight. I was dive bombing people in three and four. There was probably about a six inch strip of moisture at the top of one and two and I could catch that and it would keep the car straight. On that last caution I yanked the wing all the way back and told myself I’m giving it all she’s got,” added Sebetto of his Burmeister owned machine. “I have to thank the Burmeister family for believing in me and keeping me in the race car even when I tear it up and my whole crew who work their tails off.”

Fultz UMP Late Models – Jon Henry #15
Larry Kingseed to take the lead in the late model feature with Missler, Ernie Haynes, Kyle Perry and Ken Hahn giving chase. Missler would drive around Kingseed into the lead on lap five and looked headed to his first win of the season. But when the caution flew on lap 11 when Brandon Perkins and Mike Hudson tangled, Missler would exit the track with mechanical problems, handing the lead back to Kingseed.

Kingseed would be hounded by 12th place starter Justin Chance as they ran nose to tail on the bottom groove while Haynes was fighting with Hahn and Henry for third. Following a caution on lap 19 for Michael Stiltner II, the running order was Kingseed, Chance, Henry, Hahn and Haynes. A lap and another caution for a Steve Sabo, John Bores tangle. On the restart Henry would drive around Chance into second. The caution would fly again on lap 21 for a Ky Harper spin.

With Kingseed and Chance running his traditional bottom groove, Henry moved up to the middle and passed Kingseed for the lead on lap 23. He would go on to take the win with Kingseed, Hahn, Chance and Rocky Owens rounding out the top five.

“Just give me four wheels and I’ll do what ever I can to get to the front. I have to thank the people who support me…the JLH Company, Fultz Fabrications…I’ll tell you what, we bent that clip last week and Steve is putting that back together and this is my back-up car we got out tonight,” said Henry beside his www.jonhenryracing.com, Share the experience backed #15. “It doesn’t really matter what car I’m in just get me in a car and we’ll go out and to the best I can.”

Fremont Fence 305 Sprints – Paul Weaver #1W
Weaver would grab the lead at the drop of the green in the 305 sprint feature with Dussel, Polyak, Seth Schneider, Jason Keckler and D.J. Foos in tow. Foos would move into fourth on lap four and following a caution for a Junior Felver spin on lap five, it became a tremendous four car battle for the lead. The red would fly on lap six when Josh Harrison and Jim Peterman tangled, sending Peterman tumbling. On the restart Polyak would drive around Dussel into the runner-up spot and set her sights on Weaver.

When Weaver hit lapped traffic on lap 12, Polyak closed quickly while Dussel and Foos battled for third. With seven laps to go Polyak raced under Weaver as they continued to battle for the lead. Dussel would sloe close with four laps to go. Meanwhile Caleb Griffith had charged from his 14th starting spot into fourth on lap 21 and around Dussel into third as the white flag flew. Once clear of traffic, Weaver would pull away for the win with Polyak, Griffith, Dussel and Stuart Brubaker rounding out the top five.

“The whole clean air deal was the biggest thing. We got up to lapped traffic and she reeled me in and caught me off guard and I had to run a little harder. That caution with three to go gave me a clear track…that was big,” said Weaver beside his Hampshire Engines/M&L Excavating/Spanky’s Pizza backed #1w.

Computer Man Dirt Trucks – Willie Keegan #P51
Willie Keegan would grab the lead in the dirt truck feature with Greg Summit, Art Ball, Chuck Roelle and Dan Hennig in pursuit. After a lap was completed, the caution would fly for Art Ball and Greg Summit spins. That would put Roelle on the rear bumper of Keegan with Hennig, Cory Ward and Curt Inks in tow. Following a Brian Arnold spin on lap three, Keegan and Roelle would battle for the lead with Hennig and Ward right on their bumpers.

Ward would grab second on lap seven with Roelle trying to fight back. Ward would race inside Keegan for the lead with five laps to go. The pair would race side by side until the caution flew after the white flag had been displayed. In the one lap shoot-out, Keegan was able to hold off Ward for the win while Roelle, Dible and Ball would round out the top five.

“This is a fast buggy…told you last week it was fast. I’m just now starting to get used to it. When we were racing to the checkered I could see Cory and just said go baby go,” said Keegan beside his Schiets Motorsports/Chaney Roofing/Computer Loft backed #P51.

Attica Raceway Park will wrap up the 2011 season with the Baumann Auto Group Attica Ambush featuring the All Star Circuit of Champion Sprint Cars on Saturday, Sept. 3.

Sebetto Closes Gap In FAST Title Hunt With Attica Win; King Earns Late Model Victory; Weaver Adds Another 305 Win; Keegan Tames Trucks

By Brian Liskai: (Attica, OH) Bryan Sebetto drove under race-long leader Brandon Martin with four laps to go to claim his first win of 2011 at Attica Raceway Park Saturday. The win, coupled with Dean Jacobs third place finish, has Sebetto just five points behind Jacobs in the battle for the 2011 Kistler Racing Products Fremont Attica Sprint Title (FAST) championship and its $10,000 payday with just two point’s races remaining.

In the Fultz Fabrications and Speedshop UMP Late Models, Bristolville, Ohio’s Russ King did something few have been able to accomplish in 2011 – beat Jon Henry. King battled with Henry and Garrett Krummert throughout the last 17 laps before driving around Henry exiting turn two on lap 22 to take the lead. He would go on to record his first career victory at Attica on WNWO Channel 24/Aarons Sales and Lease Night.

When Stuart Brubaker tangled with a lapped car with just 9 circuits to go, Paul Weaver was there to take advantage in the Fremont Fence 305 Sprint feature. Weaver would cruise to his third victory of the season at Attica and his 27th career win to lead the division’s all-time win list.

Two time Attica winner Bob Dible and veteran Willie Keegan would trade paint throughout the 15 laps of the Computer Man Dirt Truck feature. Keegan would get a last lap pass of Dible to take the win, his first ever at Attica .

In the O’Reilly Auto Parts 410 Sprint feature, Sebetto would patiently follow two-time Attica winner Martin throughout the 30-lap affair. With seven laps to go, Sebetto, who had been searching for the right groove the entire race, would start to slowly reel in the rim-riding Martin. With five laps to go Sebetto would race to Martin’s inside and drove under him into the lead on lap 26. Sebetto would drive his Burmeister Racing #16 away for his second career victory at “ Ohio ’s Finest Racing” speedplant.

“I just started to run it in deeper and deeper and deeper in turns three and four. It helps to be in second place coming down to the end of the race. Brandon was faster than me earlier in that race…I was just searching around in one and two and trying different lines and that’s what won me the race. I was a little better than him on the bottom down there,” said Sebetto beside his JLH General Contractors/Steven Mapus Tools/Burns Petroleum/ Schiets Motorsports/Adkins Fence backed #16.

“I hate points racing…I really don’t want that old man (Dean Jacobs) taking that $10,000…I’d rather take it, I’d have more fun with it. I like to win races and not worry about points…that’s when you start messing up. We come out here to win races. A monkey could have driven this thing tonight…this thing was bad fast all night. I have to thank Mikey and Tommy and Rollie and Jay and Mango and everyone who helps out on this,” added Sebetto in the Engine Pro Victory Lane .

Jon Henry has been nearly unstoppable at Attica in the late models in 2011 with seven victories. It looked like he was headed to eight, driving his familiar bottom groove. But, first Garrett Krummert and then Russ King had other ideas, using the middle of the track to pressure and get by Henry. Then, with five laps to go, King’s Essrock Cement, King Brothers Ready Mix Rocket Chassis #56 really came alive ad he drove around Henry exiting turn two and went on to his first career Attica win.

“Johnny H is pretty good here. We were here the first race of the season and me and John had a pretty good race. It’s funny, John started on the pole and I started ninth and we had a race and he won and tonight he started on the pole and I started ninth and we had a race and I won. It was fun with racing with him and Krummert…I wish we could race here more often,” said King.

“I got to third and got to fooling around…I just had to get up on the wheel and attack real hard…you can attack the corners real hard here. I just had to get up on the wheel and I’m pumped about it…I moved a couple of infield tires for you to boot. You have a really nice race track here and I hope everyone appreciates it,” added King.

Paul Weaver and Stuart Brubaker battled hard the first six laps of the 305 sprint main before Brubaker drove under Weaver exiting turn four for the lead on lap 7. Brubaker couldn’t shake Weaver though, and with nine laps to go, as Brubaker was exiting turn two, Cody Runion spun right in front of him, collecting him and handing the lead to Weaver. Weaver would pull away the remaining laps for the victory.

“Definitely the bottom was faster and I’m not going to go down there. Luck was just on my side. This is actually the first race I got to run with this (new Schnee chassis) car. Two weeks ago I lost my brakes and all I could do was drive around,” said Weaver beside his Hampshire Engines/Spanky’s Pizza/M&L Excavating backed #1w. “I have to thank Bob Hampshire, Dave Rice, Jim Taddeo, my wife, Brian Schnee.”

Bob Dible, Willie Keegan and Cory Ward battled hard throughout the 15-lap dirt truck main with Dible taking the lead on lap two only to see Keegan race to his outside lap after lap and take the top spot with five circuits to go. Dible would drive back by to lead laps 12-14, but Keegan’s persistence paid off with a last lap pass for the win.

“He (Dible) was running real good..we were running real tight and he kind of got in my way a couple of times so I had to matters into my own hands…he did it back to me,” said Keegan beside his Chaney Roofing/Schiets Motorsports backed #P51. “I’m really happy for my cousin Pete…if it weren’t for him I wouldn’t be able to do it. He’s got one fast buggy for a truck.”

Keegan who has been racing for nearly 40 years, including many in sprint cars, said the race was as much fun “as I’ve ever had.” “A checkered flag is a checkered flag,” he added.

FAST 410 Sprints – Bryan Sebetto #16
In the 30 lap 410 sprint feature, Duane Zablocki and Brandon Martin would lead the field to the green only to see Jody Keegan slide off of turn two to necessitate a complete restart. When the green flew again, Martin would sail into the lead with Zablocki, Sebetto, Jac Haudenschild and Dean Jacobs in tow. Sebetto would take second on lap two as Martin pulled away. The caution would fly for a Chris Bell and Caleb Helms tangle. A lap and another caution for a Aaron Middaugh spin. A lap and another Middaugh spin would prevent Martin from pulling away.

On the restart Martin would jump to the cushion with Sebetto trying to stay close while Haudenschild and Jacobs waged a tremendous battle for third as Zablocki slipped to fifth ahead of a ninth place starter Byron Reed. Haudenschild’s great run would end on lap seven when he lost a wheel, moving Jacobs to third.

On the restart again Martin would pull away as Sebetto patiently stalked in second with Jacobs comfortably in third while Zablocki, Reed and Andrew Palker diced backed and forth for fourth. Just as Martin was to catch the rear of the field on lap 17, the caution would fly for Travis Philo, handing the leader a clear track.

Again Martin would pull away slightly as Sebetto began to search around for a better groove while Jacobs continued to cruise in third followed by Zablocki, Palker, Reed and 16th place starter Phil Gressman. With seven laps remaining, the fans could sense Sebetto was slowly eating away at Martin’s lead. Sebetto would duck low in turn four on lap 26 to steal the lead.

Martin would clip Zablocki while battling for fourth with three laps to go, with Zablocki spinning on the front stretch as Sebetto and Martin raced side-by-side for the lead. On the ensuing restart Sebetto was able to hold off Martin with Jacobs, Reed and Gressman in tow. Disaster nearly struck for Martin who drove off the high side of turn two, allowing four cars to get by, but the caution would fly when Jody Keegan and Philo temporarily got together in turns one and two, giving Martin a second chance.

However, Sebetto got a tremendous restart advantage and pulled away the remaining three laps for the win. Martin, Jacobs, Gressman and Reed would round out the top five.

Fultz UMP Late Models – Russ King #56
In the 25-lap late model main, Henry and Krummert would lead the field to the green with Henry getting the advantage. A caution for a Mike Bores and Michael Stiltner dust-up after one lap was complete would set up a tremendous battle for the lead between Henry and Krummert as Matt Irey, Larry Kingseed, Ryan Missler, Rockey Owens and 9th place starter King in tow. As Henry and Krummert ran side-by-side up front, King would pick off a car a lap to set third by the seventh lap.

Henry would continue to run the bottom and lead while Krummert had his hands full with King while Kingseed and Irey battled for fourth. The Henry-Krummert-King battle would continue until the caution flew for a Stiltner spin with 10 laps remaining, just as Krummert took the lead.

On the restart Krummert would lead as Henry flashed under him with King right on their rear bumpers. Henry would use the bottom to retake the top spot on lap 18 while Krummert and King continue to apply the pressure. King would take second with five laps to go and raced to Henry’s outside for the lead, taking it exiting turn two on lap 22. Henry would fight back on the bottom, but King’s momentum was too much as he took the checkered. Henry, Krummert, Kingseed and 17th starter Justin Chance would round out the top five.

Fremont Fence 305 Sprints – Paul Weaver #1W
Weaver and Jason Keckler would lead the field to the green in the 25-lap 305 sprint main with Weaver grabbing the lead while third place starter Brubaker slid into second. Dustin Dinan would grab third on the second lap as Weaver and Brubaker pulled away. Weaver would blast around the high side while Brubaker cruised on the bottom. Brubaker would take the lead exiting turn four on lap 7, but could not shake Weaver as Dinan, Keckler, D.J. Foos, Jimmy Colvin, John Ivy and Paige Polyak were in pursuit.

Just as the leaders were ready to hit lapped traffic on the 10th circuit, Polyak would slow on the back stretch to bring out the caution. Brubaker and Weaver would pull away on the restart as Dinan, Keckler, Colvin and Foos battled for third. As Brubaker and Weaver raced side-by-side into turns one and two on lap 16, Cody Runion spun in turn two right in front of Brubaker who had no where to go and tagged the lapped machine, ending his run up front.

With a clear track Weaver would blast away from the field as Dinan had his hands full with Colvin and Nate Dussel. Weaver would take the checkered ahead of Dinan, Colvin, Foos and Keckler as point’s leader Dussel suffered mechanical problems the last lap.

Computer Man Dirt Trucks – Willie Keegan #P51
Andy Keegan and Cory Ward would lead the dirt truck feature to the green with Ward grabbing the lead over third place starter Dible, Keegan and sixth place starter Willie Keegan. Dible would use his familiar bottom line to take the lead on the second lap as Ward tried to battle back while Willie Keegan drove the high line into third. Willie would take second on lap three and immediately raced to Dible’s outside for the top spot. Willie and Dible would race side-by-side for the lead with Ward right on their rear bumper until the caution flew for a Dan Hennig spin on lap six.

On the restart Dible would continue to lead with Keegan racing to his outside while Ward hounded in third with Steve Endicott, Andy Keegan, Art Ball and Brian Arnold in pursuit.

Willie Keegan would take the lead on lap 10 as he and Dible rubbed fenders. Ward would make it a three truck battle for the top spot on lap 11, with Dible driving back into the lead on lap 12. Willie would not give up and raced to Dible’s outside lap after lap. Dible held a bumper advantage as they took the white flag. Willie Keegan and Dible ran side by side down the back stretch on the final lap with Willie using the middle groove to his advantage to edge Dible for the win. Ward, Ball and Endicott would round out the top five.
