Hard Work In The Shop Pays Off For Gressman at Attica; Henry From 17th To Another Late Model Win; Dussel Gets 305 Victory; Dible Tames Trucks

By Brian Liskai: (Attica, OH) About a month ago, the crew of the #53 410 sprint car buckled down, rolled up their sleeves and rededicated themselves to showing their late car owner Dee Genzman had built a strong team. That hard work paid off Friday at Attica Raceway Park ’s Mid-Season Championship presented by Burns Electric, as driver Phil Gressman held off several challenges from Greg Wilson to score his sixth career victory.

With double points up for grabs in the chase for the Attica Raceway Park track title, it was also an important night in the battle for the Kistler Racing Products FAST (Fremont Attica Sprint Title) Championship Series. Bryan Sebetto, who came into the night trailing defending FAST champion Byron Reed, had to win the B-main and charged from 16th starting spot to a 7th place finish while Reed dropped out with mechanical woes. Sebetto now leads the FAST championship standings.

“I could see the top of the track had a pretty good curb on it but it was pretty hard to quit what I was doing on the bottom. I’ve been here in the past where sometimes you get up there and ride around…I felt good on the top but I didn’t dare move from where I was. But, you get a caution with two to go and anything goes with Greg ( Wilson ) and Tim (Shaffer)…they’re going to do what they have to do and take a chance. Everything went well…I had a good car,” said Gressman beside his Ludwig Propane, Kear’s Speed Shop, Level Performance backed machine.

“I have to thank Marilyn Genzman and Andy Genzman and all they’ve been through. A little bit before the (World of) Outlaw show here we backed up so bad I couldn’t get out of the way quick enough. We went to work in the shop and straightened some things out and I feel pretty good…I think things are going in the right direction. Hopefully we can fend them off here,” added Gressman in the Engine Pro Victory Lane .

In the Fultz Fabrications and Speed Shop UMP Late Model Main, Ada, Ohio ’s Jon Henry has competitors and fans scratching their heads. “The Steel Driver” had a mechanical issue in his heat, came from the last row in the B-main to qualify for the feature. From there Henry utilized his familiar bottom groove to move from 17th into the lead on lap 13 and went on to his fifth victory of the season. In fact, Henry has won every feature at Attica but two – a 16th to sixth place run last month and he missed a race two weeks ago.

“We didn’t get the tire tightened in the heat and that caused a lot of problems. A lot of parts are bent still…maybe they helped me. I can’t believe this…I’m not as excited cause I can’t believe I came from the back to the front with Matt Miller and Doug Drown up there. This car was just awesome. I changed a few things. I put it on jack stands and made sure I put the extra time to make sure everything was okay,” said Henry beside his Share the Experience at jonhenryracing.com, Wide Open Graphics, Eibach Springs backed #15.

“One I got around a lot of people on the bottom…the bottom was just so good tonight. The sprint cars left that nice brown groove which I love. There was enough moisture I could just get underneath everyone and drag race them down the straight-away. When I got up to third just 10 laps into it I was like ‘we got a damn good race car,” added Henry.

Bradner, Ohio’s Nate Dussel also utilized the bottom groove to overtake early race leader Steve Rando on lap nine and drove away to his second win of the season in the Fremont Fence 305 Sprints.

“Starting seventh in the heat and leading three laps in running the bottom I thought ‘man it’s going to be tough to beat somebody down there.’ All the times I’ve started in the back here I could pass tons of cars on the bottom but I’ve never been able to win one here on the bottom so this is pretty awesome,” said Dussel beside his Berrier Fabrication, Dussel Welding, Kistler Racing Products backed #1. “This night (double points) can definitely hurt you…its hurt me about every time. But tonight it helped us but it’s only half way through the year so I’m not too worried about points yet.”

In the Computer Man Dirt Truck main, Fostoria , Ohio ’s Bob Dible patiently cruised in the top five until the half-way point. Then he picked it up a notch and drove into third on lap 7 and into the runner-up spot on lap 8. After a two lap battle with Paul Brown Jr. Dible was able to hug the bottom to take the lead on lap 11 and went on to his second victory of the year at Attica .

“During the heat race I burned a wire up so I got my electric fan hooked up so it’s running all the time to keep it cool. Once I got around them I knew that was the faster line. It was just a matter of waiting for them to slide up so I could pass them. Paul (Brown) was running one line up from mine and once I got underneath him I just kept him up there,” said Dible beside his Bob’s Machine Shop, BMS Engines backed #17.

“The track championship is what we’re striving for…here and Fremont ,” added Dible in the Engine Pro Victory Lane.

FAST 410 Sprints – Phil Gressman #53
In the 30-lap main for the O’Reilly Auto Parts 410 Sprints, former track champion Chris Andrews grabbed the early lead over Travis Philo, Gressman, Cole Duncan, Dean Jacobs and Greg Wilson. Andrews got crossed up exiting turn two on lap two, handing the lad to Philo with Gressman, Duncan, Jacobs, Brandon Martin, Greg Wilson and 12th place starter Tim Shaffer in tow. The first of several cautions/reds would fly on lap three for a Brad Haudenschild spin and on the restart, Gressman would drive under Philo to take the lead.

Duncan’s good run would end on lap six as he brought out the caution with the running order Gressman, Philo, Jacobs, Wilson, Shaffer, Rob Chaney and Martin. A lap later and Sheldon Haudenschild would spin to once again bunch up the field. On the restart Gressman was able to pull away slightly while Philo and Jacobs put on a tremendous battle for second with Wilson and Shaffer doing the same for fourth. Sheldon Haudenschild would tip over on the back stretch on lap 12 to again bring a halt to the action.

On the restart Gressman again pulled away from Philo while Wilson took third with Jacobs and Shaffer applying pressure. Wilson would move into second on lap 19 and a lap later the caution flew for a stalled Byron Reed. Again with a clear track ahead Gressman would pull away on the restart while Wilson would drive into second followed by Philo, Shaffer, Jacobs, Chaney and Martin. With eight laps to go, Wilson was right on Gressman’s rear bumper. Gressman was better in turns one and two while Wilson road the top rim in three and four to keep the pressure on for the lead.

Gressman and Wilson had the crowd on their feet over the next few laps before a Zack Ames flip on lap 28 brought the battle to a halt. On the restart with two laps remaining the running order was Gressman, Wilson, Shaffer, Jacobs, Martin, Philo, Chaney, Kevin Lee, Sebetto (up from 16th starting spot and Andrews completing the top 10. Gressman rocketed off the bottom on the restart and pulled away for his sixth career Attica victory with Wilson, Shaffer, Martin and Jacobs rounding out the top five.

Fultz Late Models – Jon Henry #15
In the 25-lap late model main, following a tangle between Chester Fitch and Matt Irey on the opening green, Ryan Markham would take the initial lead over Doug Drown, John Bores and Matt Miller. Drown would drive around Markham on lap two with Miller moving into second a lap later while 11th starter Justin Chance on the move into fourth on lap three. Henry would move from 17th to eighth in the first four laps.

Drown continued to lead over Miller, Chance, Markham and George Lee with Henry taking sixth spot on lap six. With eight laps in the books, Drown continued to lead over Miller with Henry sliding into third and Markham and Chance rounding out the top five. The caution flew on lap 9 for a stalled Chance with another caution coming out a lap later for a Bores spin. On the restart Henry would drive under Miller into the runner-up spot and would take the lead from Drown on lap 13.

While Henry pulled away, another car on the move was 16th place starter Jeff Babcock who was third by lap 12 and moved into second on lap 16. Henry would encounter lapped traffic with five to go, but Babcock could not close. Henry went on to his sixth career Attica win with Babcock, Lee, Drown and Miller rounding out the top five.

Fremont Fence 305 Sprints – Nate Dussel #1
Steve Rando grabbed the early lead of the 305 sprint feature with Cody Jacobs, Dussel, Paige Polyak and Caleb Griffith in pursuit. Dussel would drive under Jacobs for second on lap three, bringing Polyak into third. Following a caution for a Nate Reeser spin on lap 8, Dussel would drive under Rando on the restart to take the lead, bringing Polyak to second followed by Rando, D.J. Foos, Jacobs and Griffith.

Rando would take the second spot back on lap 13, but Polyak drove back by a lap later. Meanwhile Dussel was pulling away when the red flew for a Paul Weaver flip on lap 15. The running order on the restart was Dussel, Polyak, Rando, Foos, Jacobs, Griffith and Stuart Brubaker. The final caution flew with five laps to go and once again Dussel would pull away on the restart. At the checkered it was Dussel, Polyak, Rando, Foos and Griffith rounding out the top five.

Image
Computer Man Dirt Trucks – Bob Dible #17
Paul Brown Jr. would take the initial lead of the dirt truck feature over Brian Sorg, Todd Keegan and Steve Endicott. Endicott would move into third on lap two, bringing Dwight Waltermeier and Art Ball along. A caution would bunch up the field, and Brown could not shake Sorg on the restart as Endicott, Waltermeier, Dible, Ball and Brian Arnold waged a tremendous battle for third.

The final caution flew on lap seven with the running order Brown, Sorg, Dible, Ball, Waltermeier, Endicott and Arnold. Dible would drive into second on the restart as Ball got around Sorg into third on lap nine. Dible would rive under Brown for the lead on lap 11 with Ball right on their rear bumpers. Dible and Brown raced door to door the next three laps with Ball waiting for a mistake while Sorg raced Arnold and Waltermeier for fourth. As the field took the white flag, Dible was able to put a little distance between himself and Brown. Ball would take second exiting turn two but ran out of time to catch Dible who went on to his 9th career Attica victory. Ball, Brown, Sorg and Arnold would round out the top five.

Attica Raceway Park will be back in action Friday, June 10 on All Pro Cylinder Heads/Croghan Colonial Bank Night. It will be another Kistler Racing Products FAST Championship Series even for the 410 sprints with the 305 sprints and dirt trucks also in action.

Donny Schatz Breaks Into World of Outlaws Win Column With Exciting Attica Win; Babcock Claims UMP Late Model Win

Donny Schatz knew a win with the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series was just around the corner so he was very excited to pull into Attica Raceway Park Friday, May 20 for the Kistler Engines Classic. Schatz, a four-time series champion, was winless coming into the event, but a couple of good runs of late and the fact he was coming to a track he won at in 2008, had him feeling all the confidence in the world.

However, it wasn’t easy for Schatz, who had to survive a restart with three laps remaining and return a slide-job from Craig Dollansky to score his 106th career World of Outlaw victory – moving him just one behind hall-of-famer Doug Wolfgang for fourth on the series’ all-time win list.

“My dad had me race a legends car Wednesday night at Red River Valley Speedway (near his home town of Fargo , N.D.). I beat him, so maybe that helped us get this first one. The STP guys did a great job giving me an awesome car. We needed this one bad and what a great birthday presdent for the boss (car owner Tony Stewart). I think he turned 39 again today.”

Elk River, Minn. driver Craig Dollansky had the capacity crowd on its feet the last three laps. On a restart following a Stevie Smith spin – he was fifth at the time – Schatz opted for the bottom with Dollasky to his outside. “The Crowd Pleaser” executed a perfect slide job in turns three and four to grab the lead only to see Schatz return the favor in turns one and two and regain the lead.

“I gave it my best shot there at the end,” said Dollansky beside his Big Game Treestands, Aggressive Hydraulics, Karavan Trailers backed #7. “I was better than him (Schatz) around the top and if we wouldn’t have gotten that red (with 9 laps to go) I really think I could have caught him. D.J. Lindsey and the guys gave me an awesome race car…we’re building a great team here and I’m excited about the season.”

ImageAnother driver who gave his car owner – Janet Holbrook – a great birthday present was two-time O’Reilly Auto Parts All Star Circuit of Champions titlist Tim Shaffer. The “Steel City Outlaw” drove his Aaron Call/Janet Holbrook owned Kistler Engines backed #83 from 23rd starting sport to a third place finish and was right on the rear bumper of Dollansky and Schatz at the end.

“I just love coming to this place…we always run good here. I knew Brian (Kemenah, crew chief) and the guys would give me a good car for the feature…I just had to be patient and work my way to the front. I got the chance on that last restart and made the most of it,” said Shaffer.

In the Fultz Fabrications and Speed Shop UMP Late Models, Wayne, Ohio ’s Jeff Babcock used the low groove to lead the last 24 laps to score his third career Attica victory.

“I have to be honest…anyone who knows me knows I hate the bottom. But it seemed like the bottom was good so I had to make myself run it,” said Babcock. “I have to thank the Halcombs for the opportunity, Craig Miller Trucking, Potash Corp. AFLAC, KDB Properties, Potash Corporation and Professional Drywall for their support.

World of Outlaws – Donny Schatz #15
The 40-lap, $10,000-to-win sprint car feature had local driver Phil Gressman on the pole thanks to his dash win with 20-time Outlaw champion Steve Kinser along side while Schatz and Dollansky comprised row two. Gressman would lead the first lap, but Schatz quickly passed his TSR teammate Kinser for second. By the time Schatz reached the flagstand again, he was leading.

Schatz built a commanding lead while Gressman, Kinser and Dollansky battled for second. Kinser would take the runner-up spot on lap 10. Schatz would encounter lapped traffic by lap 12, but Kinser couldn’t close while Lucas Wolfe ran third with Gressman and Dollansky giving chase. Wolfe would grab second from a fading Kinser on lap 18 with Dollansky taking third two laps later.

The first caution would fly on lap 23 for Craig Kinser with the running order Schatz, Dollansky, Kinser, Wolfe, Gressman, Jason Meyers, Dale Blaney, Stevie Smith and Sam Hafertepe. Schatz would pull away slightly on the restart as Dollansky’s machine was better on long, green flag runs. With 10 laps to go, Dollansky was quickly closing on Schatz while Kinser had his hands full with Wolfe for third with Meyers, Gressman and Smith battling right behind them.

Jac Haudenschild would tip over in turn two on lap 31 to bring out the red. On the restart Schatz would elect to take the inside lane. This time, however, he would not shake Dollansky as Kinser continued to run third with Hafertepe, Meyers and a closing Shaffer in tow. With three laps remaining, Smith would spin in turn four while battling teammate Meyers along with Hafertepe and Kinser for third.

Again on the restart Schatz would elect to go to the inside. This time, however, Dollansky would drive right on his rear bumper and execute the slide job in turns three and four to take the lead while Shaffer tried to get around both of them in turn one. Schatz would drive back by Dollansky for the lead and would go to the victory. Dollansky, Shaffer, Hafertepe, and Meyers would round out the top five.

ImageIn the 25-lap late model feature, Ryan Markham would take the initial lead from pole-sitter Babcock with Ryan Missler, Wayne Maffett Jr. and Justin Chance giving chase. Babcock would drive under Markham for the lead a lap later and began to pull away. Meanwhile, the battle for second was fantastic between Markham, Missler and Maffett. Ninth place starter Matt Miller would join the fray on by lap six.

As Babcock set a blistering pace, Missler would take second on lap eight with Markham continuing to challenge with Miller in fourth and Maffett to his rear bumper. Babcock would hit lapped traffic by lap 11 with Markham regaining the runner-up spot over Missler, Miller, Maffett and Chance. The battle for second was exciting as Missler would regain the position on lap 12 as Markham and Miller raced beside him, often times three wide. Miller would take third on lap 13 and steal second a lap later.

Fultz Late Models – Jeff Babcock #1
As the laps wound down, Babcock had lapped up to the 10th place car, but Miller would only get to within six car lengths of the leader. Babcock cruised to the victory over Miller, Markham, Maffett and Missler.

Attica Raceway Park will be back in action Friday, June 3 for the Burns Electric Mid-Season Championship for the O’Reilly Auto Parts 410 Sprints, Fultz Fabrications and Speed Shop UMP Late Model, Fremont Fence 305 Sprints, and Computer Man Dirt Trucks battling for double points.
