Shaffer Earns 3rd Straight All Star Win To Close Attica Season; Marcoullier Nabs Late Model Win; Ivy Claims Truck Win

By Brian Liskai: (Attica, OH) Tim Shaffer dominated the 40-lap feature Saturday at Attica Raceway Park, leading all 40 laps to claim his third straight All Star Circuit of Champions victory to increase his lead in the series’ national and Ohio Region points standing.

Shaffer has now won nine All Star events in 2011. His victory in the Baumann Auto Group Attica Ambush brings his career total to 44 with the All Stars and moves him into a tie for sixth on the all-time win list with former champion Kevin Huntley and Dave Blaney. The Steel City Outlaw needs 9 more All Star feature wins to catch four-time series champion Frankie Kerr for fifth.

The cautions flew perfect for Shaffer throughout the 40-lap affair…just as he was getting into heavy lapped traffic. Shaffer would use the clear track and clean air to pull away each time.

“It’s amazing…it really is. It’s a lot of fun. When you have a great team and great people behind you…Paul Kistler with the engines and J&J Chassis…every body,” said Shaffer in the Engine Pro Victory Lane beside his Aaron Call/Janet Holbrook owned machine.

“It all goes back to a great team from the owners to the people working on it…just everything,” added Shaffer of his Kistler Racing Products/Kistler Engines backed #83.

Shaffer and Phil Gressman would lead the field to the green with Shaffer grabbing the lead while fast qualifier Danny Holtgraver and Cole Duncan would get around Gressman with Todd Kane and David Gravel giving chase. The first caution would fly on the third circuit for a Greg Wilson spin.

Following two more green flag laps the caution would fly for Cap Henry who suffered a broken wheel. On the restart Shaffer would pull away from the great battle for second between Holtgraver, Duncan and Gressman while sixth starter Gravel would vault into fifth. The car on the move was Bryan Sebetto, who had won the last two features at Attica , as he blasted from his 15th starting spot to eighth by the eighth lap.

Shaffer would catch the rear of the field by the 12th lap, but Holtgraver and Duncan could not close. The caution would fly for Wilson again on lap 13, giving Shaffer a clear track. The running order was Shaffer, Holtgraver, Duncan , Gressman, Gravel, Kane, Byron Reed and Sebetto. On the restart Sebetto would drive into sixth and was pressuring Gravel for fifth. Disaster would strike on lap 19 when fourth running Gressman appeared to have something break on his machine, sending him upside down in turn three and Sebetto made heavy contact with the crashing car, ending his night.

The red came just as Shaffer was getting into lapped traffic once again. With a clear track, Shaffer would pull away on the restart while Holtgraver, Duncan , Gravel and 13th place starter Dean Jacobs waged a great battle. Holtgraver would slip over the cushion exiting turn two on lap 25, following to fifth as Duncan, Gravel and Jacobs got by.

Shaffer would hit lapped traffic on lap 27, but Duncan and Gravel could not close. With eight laps to go, Shaffer was in heavy traffic with Gravel taking second from Duncan as Jacobs and Reed closed. Jacobs would slide off turns three and four on lap 33, doing a 360 spin to bring out the caution. Shaffer now had two lapped machines between himself and Gravel.

Shaffer would pull away on the restart while Gravel worked his way around the lapped machines. Meanwhile Holtgraver had rallied to take third on lap 34 with Reed moving into fifth.

Shaffer would take the checkered by two car lengths over Gravel, Holtgraver, Reed and 16th place starter Randy Hannagan.

For Gravel, who has been staying at Shaffer’s crew chief Brian Kemenah’s home, it was his third straight runner-up finish to Shaffer.

“He’s freaking killing me…I gave him one last night (at Lernerville). I wish this was 50 laps…usually I get tired in 40 lap races but we were coming at the end. It’s crazy, we finish one, two every night and we sleep in the same house,” said Gravel beside his P&M Transportation/JRC Transportation/DDR Motorsports #89.

Holtgraver was excited about his third place showing.

“We ran second the whole race. That cushion is mean…it bit me. But we were able to battle back and we’re standing here on the front stretch so I’m pretty happy,” said Holtgraver beside his Buckeye Steering Products/Spinnwebbers Auto Sales backed machine. “You never quit…no matter what happens never give up…just keep digging and digging.”

Fultz Late Models – Dona Marcoullier #6M
In the Fultz Fabrications UMP Late Models, Houghton Lake, Michigan’s Dona Marcoullier passed 2011 Attica champion Ryan Missler with seven laps to go and went on to score his first career Attica victory. He hadn’t planned on competing at Attica , but when another track rained out earlier, he made the tow worth his effort.

“About 5:30 we pulled into Oakshade and they cancelled so we busted our butts to get here,” said Marcoullier beside his Gene’s Auto Parts and Salvage backed #6m.

“I knew if I just held in there I had the right tires on and the car has been great. We haven’t been doing a lot of racing because of this financial stuff but when we run we are good. I have to thank my engine builder Dowker Engines, my sponsor Jimmy’s Collision…he came all the way down here from Houghton Lake to help us with tires and my dad….I wouldn’t be here without him,” added Marcoullier.

In the Computerman Dirt Trucks, former 410 and 305 sprint Attica champion John Ivy battled with 2011 track champion Bob Dible throughout the 15-lap affair before claiming his first career dirt truck victory.

“I hope Charlie lets me drive this some more. I’m having a ball…this is fun,” said Ivy. “I’ve won in nearly everything here now except a late model and I’m willing to give that a try. I have to thank Charlie and Craig…they give me a good piece.”

Following an opening lap caution for Donnie Marcoullier, Ernie Haynes would grab the lead in the late model feature with Dona Marcoullier, Jeremy Canada and Ryan Missler giving chase. While everyone seemed to want to run the bottom, Missler would get up to the cushion and rocket into third on the second lap. Haynes, Marcoullier and Missler would then battle for the lead with Missler driving into the top spot on lap four.

Marcoullier would take second from Haynes on lap 10 and started to close on Missler. With nine laps to go, Marcoullier and Missler would race side-by-side with Marcoullier able to drive under Missler for the lead on lap 18. Marcoullier would hit the back of the field by the 21st lap, but Missler could not close while Haynes, Keith Berner, Canada , Chris Ross and Ryan Markham waged a great battle for third.

Marcoullier would take the win over Missler, Berner, Haynes and Canada.

Computer Man Dirt Trucks – John Ivy #00
In the 15-lap dirt truck main, recently crowned 2011 Attica champion Bob Dible would take the lead at the drop of the green with Dwight Waltermeier, Chuck Roelle and Ivy in tow. Following a lap 2 caution, Ivy would drive into third and then take second from Waltermeier a lap later. With Dible clinging to the bottom groove, Ivy would move to the middle of the track as he and Dible raced side-by-side for the lead. Ivy was able to take the point on lap nine as Dible continued to race to his inside.

Ivy was able to pull away slightly the last five laps for the win with Dible, Art Ball, Dan Hennig and Waltermeier rounding out the top five.

2011 Labor Day Weekend Preview

By Brian Liskai – All Star Circuit of Champions Public Relations: (Camargo, IL) The points battles have been exciting all season for the All Star Circuit of Champions and the outcome from a busy Labor Day weekend could have a big impact on who is crowned the series’ National and Ohio region champion.

Two time and defending All Star champion Tim Shaffer is coming off his 7th series’ victory – winning August 27 at Mercer Raceway Park – to extend his lead in the national standings over three time All Star champion Dale Blaney. However, Blaney, who also has scored seven series’ wins in 2011 and sits second on the all-time win list with 83 career victories, leads the $20,000-to-win Ohio Region points. However, Shaffer, who won the series’ Great Plains Region recently, is right behind, looking to pounce as the All Stars compete in three events over the holiday weekend. Shaffer has 42 career All Star victories and sits tied for 9th on the all-time win list with Kelly Kinser.

The All Stars will take on the tough Western Pennsylvania competitors Friday, September 2 at Lernerville Speedway. On Saturday, the All Stars will help Attica Raceway Park close out its 2011 season with the traditional Baumann Auto Group Attica Ambush. Then it’s off to Butler Speedway in Quincy, Michigan on Sunday, September 4, for a make-up event that was originally scheduled for August 20 but was postponed due to rain.

Shaffer, a former Lernerville track champion, took the Second Annual Duel in the Dirt at the speedway last season. It was his 17th overall feature win of the year in 2010 and his 12th All Star win. As it has been most of this season, Blaney was second while milti-time Lernerville champion Ed Lynch Jr. came home third.

Besides Shaffer and Blaney, David Gravel continues to show he has what it takes to claim an All Star championship. He sits third in the National and Ohio region point standings. Throw in defending Lernerville champion Danny Holtgraver, who sits fourth in the All Stars’ Ohio Region points, and 2011 Lernerville champion Carl Bower and track regulars Rod George, Brandon Matus, Brian Ellenberger, Kevin Schaeffer, Brent Matus, Brian Steinman and Andy McKisson – who won a feature August 26 – and it has the recipe for a “barn-burner.”

On Saturday at Attica Raceway Park, the All Stars will battle another group of tough weekly competitors. Bryan Sebetto is coming off back-to-back wins while six-time track champion Byron Reed, 2011 track champion Dean Jacobs, two-time feature winner Brandon Martin, and early season winner Danny Smith will be tough. Through in possible competitors like Sam Hafertepe Jr. and Phil Gressman who each scored a win at Attica.

The All Stars have visited Attica twice in 2011 with Blaney and Shaffer each scoring victories.

Also, the Baumann Auto Group will present their Baumann Bonus Bucks at Attica giving some lucky fan the chance of taking home $500!

Finally it’s off to the only All Star event in the State of Michigan on Sunday, September 4. Former All Star rookie of the year Chad Blonde has four victories at Butler in 2011. Other winners include Ryan Ruhl, Ken Mackey.

8.27.11 Results KISTLER RACING PRODUCTS/ ALL PRO HEADS NIGHT

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.
