By Brian Liskai: (Attica, OH) All looked lost for Byron Reed when he slid off the track while leading late in the race. But redemption was just around the corner for the Monclova , Ohio driver when leader Tim Shaffer ran out of fuel with five laps remaining, handing Reed the lead. He would go on to take the opening night of Ohio Sprint Speedweek at Attica Raceway Park Friday, his second O’Reilly Auto Parts All Star Circuit of Champions win at the track this season.
Reed was given the lead on lap 22 as he pressured Stevie Smith in lapped traffic and Smith spun in turn two. Reed pulled away on the restart, but a caution for Smith on lap 26 bunched up the field. Again Reed pulled away from All Star point leader Shaffer with Bryan Sebetto and Dale Blaney waging a tremendous battle for third. Disaster struck for Reed on lap 32 as he slipped off the high side of turn two, allowing Shaffer to drive under him for the lead.

Byron Reed – All Star Sprints
A caution on lap 35 for a Brandon Martin spin in turn four was almost trouble for leader Shaffer, as he narrowly missed hitting him, squeezing between Martin and the front stretch guard rail. Sebetto’s great run would end on the next lap as he drove off turn three. During the caution, Shaffer and Blaney would stop after running out of fuel, necessitating a fuel stop and sending them to the tail.
All Star officials said the rule is 40 laps or one hour from the time the first car pushes off. They indicated 14 minutes were still remaining before a fuel stop would be necessary and since Shaffer and Blaney stopped they would go to the tail.
That handed the lead back to Reed and he would drive away for his third Attica win of the season on Legends Sports Pub & Grille Night. Last week’s winner Mark Keegan, who drove into the rear of Reed’s car as the field stopped for the red flag fuel stop, damaging the front wing of his car, would come home second while 16th place starter Dean Jacobs would race into another third place finish.
Reed, a five-time Attica champion, now has 25 career victories at “ Ohio ’s Finest Racing” speedplant, good for second on the track’s all-time win list. It was his ninth career All Star victory as well.
“I made a mistake and thought it was over. I must have had a pretty good lead…when I came back on the track I was still in second. I knew Tim (Shaffer) was having fuel issues..I know I was close but I think I would have made it. This JEI chassis and Kistler engine is running great,” said Reed beside his Reebar Diecasting, Weld Wheels backed #5. “Isn’t this great…the two locals running first and second.”
For Keegan, the second place run means he’ll go to night #2 of the nine-night Ohio Sprint Speedweek at KC Raceway.
Image“I was looking up to see how many more laps were left and Byron stopped for the red and I hit him. I thought I was done, but they pushed me around and the crew said other than front wing it was okay. We nursed it home second. This is awesome for the local guys to beat a field like this,” said Keegan beside his Midwest Transportation, Jon Wright Custom Chrome Plating #X.
Jacobs has been a consistent top three finisher this season and is happy with the progress of his young team.
“I just keep getting a great race car…it’s been a blast to drive. We will get wins,” said Jacobs beside his Northwest Ohio Towing and Recovery, NAPA Truck and Auto Center backed #97. “These guys need to put bigger fuel tanks on. It’s their own fault they ran out of fuel. We put a 33-gallon tank on and had plenty of fuel. They know the rule and it bit them.”
After an opening lap red for a crash involving Brian Lay, Cole Duncan and David Gravel, Smith, the 2009 Ohio Speedweek champion bolted into the lead with Reed, Shaffer, Blaney and Sebetto in tow. Another red flag for a Cap Henry tip over which collected Brandon Wimmer after one lap was scored wiped out Smith’s lead. On the ensuing restart Smith began stretching out his lead with Reed and Shaffer comfortably in second and third while Blaney and Sebetto raced side by side for fourth.
Jody Keegan would drive off turn three on lap six while running sixth, to bring out a caution. Once again Smith pulled away with the lead on the restart with Reed, Shaffer, Blaney and Sebetto in tow. Sebetto would take fourth from Blaney on lap 11 and that’s the way the remained until a caution on lap 11 for Kevin Lee. Every time Smith would build a lead, the caution would fly as it did on lap 15 for Lee Jacobs who stopped on the track.
Smith set a torrid pace on the restart, catching the rear of the field just seven laps later, allowing Reed to close on his rear bumper. As the pair raced nose to tail into turns one and two trying to pick their way through traffic, Smith would spin, bringing out the caution and sending him to the tail. Now Reed led over Shaffer, Sebetto, Blaney and Keegan. The running order would remain that way until lap 26 when Smith would stop on the track for another caution. Reed pulled away on the restart while Shaffer ran comfortably in second with Sebetto and Blaney still racing hard for third.
On lap 32, Reed missed his marks in turn two, driving off the high side of the track, handing the lead to Shaffer, as Reed reentered the track in second. Then began the bizarre events on lap 35 when the caution flew for Brandon Martin, as Shaffer narrowly missed hitting him. On the restart Sebetto would drive off turn three and another caution would see the fuel issue come into play.

Doug Drown – UMP Late Models
In the 25-lap Fultz Fabrications and Speeds Shop UMP Late Model feature, Wooster, Ohio’s Doug Drown put on a dominating performance, opening up over a half track lead. Only two cautions on lap 16 and 17 would slow his march to victory lane. He would power to his second Attica win of 2010.
“We wasn’t even going to come here tonight, but we knew the World of Outlaws are coming here at the end of July and we wanted to try some things and boy did they work,” said Drown beside his Wooster Glace, D.J. Directional Services, Lazer Chassis backed #12.
Wayne Maffett Jr. would drive from his 11th starting spot to second with Ken Hahn, Jeff Babcock and Ryan Missler rounding out the top five.
Attica Raceway Park will be back in action Friday, July 2 as Kear’s Speed Shop Presents Fan Appreciation Night. For just $10 admission, fans will see the 410 sprints, late models, 305 sprints and dirt trucks.

By Brian Liskai: (Carmargo, IL) Ohio Sprint Speedweek has become a tradition unlike any others. Fans plan their vacations around the event and race teams spend months preparing for it. The 28th Annual Ohio Sprint Speedweek featuring the O’Reilly Auto Parts All Star Circuit of Champion Sprint Cars will feature nine straight nights of racing across the Buckeye State , paying out over $241,000 in prize money along the way.
Twenty-seven years ago, former Eldora Speedway owner Earl Baltes sat down with then All Star president Bert Emick to discuss the idea of a week-long series of races to highlight the great tracks and race teams who call Ohio home. Thus came about Ohio Sprint Speedweek. Now, other states and sanctioning bodies have copied the idea, but Ohio ’s version remains one of the most anticipated events of the summer with average car counts in the 40s.
The first eight nights of Ohio Sprint Speedweek will pay the All Star sprint feature winner $5,000 with the final night at Fremont Speedway offering up a big $10,000 to win payday.
It all kicks off Friday, June 18 at Attica Raceway Park on Legend’s Sports Pub and Grille Night as the O’Reilly Auto Parts All Stars battle the tough weekly regulars at “Ohio’s Finest Racing” speed plant for the $5,000 top prize. The UMP late models will also be in action. Gates open at 4 p.m. with racing underway at 7:45 p.m. General admission tickets are $22 for adults; $20 for senior citizens; $10 for teens ages 11-15; with kids 10 and under admitted free. Pit passes will be $30. For more information go to www.atticaracewaypark.com Saturday finds the All Stars returning to the high banks of KC Raceway near Chillicothe, Ohio, on Roosters/Miller Lite Night. It’s been several years since Ohio Sprint Speedweek has competed at the 3/8th mile oval. Joining the All Star sprints will be the NRA 360 Sprints, Advance Modifieds and hobby stocks. General admission tickets are $20 with kids ages 6-12 entering for $20. Pit passes will be $30. Gates will open at 3:30 p.m. with racing underway at 7:30 p.m. For more information go to www.kc-raceway.com.
Sunday, June 20 brings the All Stars back to the half-mile of Millstream Speedway near Findlay , Ohio . The track roared back to life in 2008 after having sat idle for nearly nine years. The Speedweek show will be the first of 2010 for the track. Last year’s Ohio Sprint Speedweek show at Millstream drew the highest car count as over 60 sprints jammed the pits. Joining the All Star sprints will be the UMP modifieds. Gates will open at 3 p.m. with racing underway at 7 p.m… Tickets are $20 for adults; $15 for senior citizens; $10 for kids ages 11-16 with kids 10 and under free. Pit passes will be $30. For more information go to www.millstreamspeedway.com.
On Monday, the rabid fans of Wayne County Speedway will pack the stands for night #4 of Ohio Sprint Speedway. A part of Speedweek since its inception, the three-eighths mile oval located near Orrville, also draws a pretty good contingent of Pennsylvania drivers. The modifieds will also be in action. Gates will open at 3 p.m. with racing underway at 7 p.m. For more information go to www.waynecountyspeedway.com
Tuesday finds the All Star sprints at Hilltop Speedway near Millersburg , Ohio . The one-third mile high banks offer plenty of racing room “on the hill.” The modifieds will also be in action. Gates open at 4 p.m. with racing underway around 7 p.m… For more information go to www.hilltopspeedway.org.
From one bullring to another, as the night #6 of Ohio Sprint Speedweek heads to Waynesfield Motorsports Park near Waynesfield , Ohio on Wednesday, June 23. The high-banked third-mile has produced some of the closest finishes in Speedweek history. Joining the All Star sprints will be the compacts and four-cylinder Tough Trucks. Pit gates open at 4 p.m. with grandstand gates opening at 5 p.m. Racing will get underway at 7 p.m. Tickets are $22 for adults; $6 for kids ages 11-15 with kids 10 and under free. Pit passes are $30. For directions and more information go to www.waynesfieldmotorsportspark.com
On Thursday, June 24, the All Stars had to Sharon Speedway. It’s been several years since the All Star competed at three-eighths mile high banked clay oval located near Hartford , Ohio . Several Pennsylvania teams will no-doubt head to Sharon to battle the All Stars. The limited sprints will also be in competition. Gates will open at 4 p.m. with racing underway at 7 p.m. Tickets are $18 for adults; $5 for kids ages 9-13. Pit passes are $25. For more information log onto www.sharonspeedway.com
Night #8 finds the all stars at the high banks of Limaland Motorsports Park on Elwer Fence Night. Again, the nature of the track – a quarter mile, wide, high-banked dirt oval – guarantees tight, close racing action. The UMP modifieds will also be in action. The pit gates will open at 3 p.m. with grandstands gates opening at 4 p.m.
Speedweek wraps up at the historic Fremont Speedway with a big $10,000 to win event on Budweiser Night. The nonwing 305 sprints will also be in action. It will be the 92nd appearance of the All Stars in the 59-year history of “The Track That Action Built.” The tough weekly competitor will give the All Star travelers all they can handle. In fact, the last All Star appearance, young local racer Bryan Sebetto held off defending All Star champ Tim Shaffer to score the win. Gates will open at 4 p.m. with racing underway at 7 p.m. Tickets are $25 for adults; $20 for senior citizens; $15 for kids 11-15 with kids 10 and under free. Pit passes will be $30.

Another interesting twist to the Ohio Sprint Speedweek is the Kistler Racing Products Fremont Attica Sprint Title (FAST) Championship Series is offering a $1,000 cash bonus to any FAST series driver who can take the Speedweek title. A $500 bonus is being offered to the highest finishing FAST driver in the week’s final point standings. FAST is an 22-race series -11 shows at Fremont Speedway and 11 at Attica Raceway Park – that awards a separate point fund from that of the two weekly tracks.
Fremont Speedway Promoter Rich Farmer and Attica Raceway Park Promoter John Bores are putting up the cash for the bonus as a reward for the support these teams have shown their tracks this season. This will, of course, help insure bigger car counts at the other tracks participating in Ohio Sprint Speedweek.
“I think the FAST series has been great for our local drivers and we want to see these teams support Ohio Speedweek and compete with the drivers from other areas around Ohio as well as give the All Stars a run for the money each night,” said Farmer. “Ohio Speedweek has always been one of the biggest weeks of sprint car racing in the State of Ohio and we would like to see these guys take it seriously and go compete each night and show the fans across the state what we get to see each weekend at Attica and Fremont.”
Drivers eligible for the cash bonus include Byron Reed, who beat the All Stars earlier this year at Attica; Brock Mayes, Mark Keegan, Phil Gressman, Craig mintz, Kevin Lee, Chris Andrews, Jody Keegan, Bryan Sebetto, Brandon Martin, David Harrison, Todd Heller, Mike Linder, Brian Smith, Shawn Valenti and Duane Zablocki.
The roster of drivers expected to compete during Ohio Sprint Speedweek will include defending and current All Star point leader Tim Shaffer; two-time All Star champion Greg Wilson; 2009 speedweek champion Stevie Smith; four-time Ohio Sprint Speedweek champion Dale Blaney; Pennsylvania Posse members Lance Dewease, Fred Rahmer and possibly Brian Leppo, Brian Monteith, Greg Hodnett and others; and young guns like Cap Henry, Jared Ridge, David Gravel, Jessica Zemken and more. When they come up against some of the strongest weekly 410 sprint drivers in the nation, just making the A-main will be a challenge.
Last year nearly 100 different drivers competed during Ohio Sprint Speedweek.
“Besides the purse money, we’re paying nearly $28,000 in appearance money this week which should contribute to very strong car counts. Ohio Sprint Speedweek is an event unlike any other. Ohio is among the elite 410 sprint states in the country, producing some of the best drivers and teams you’ll find any where,” said Guy Webb, President of the O’Reilly Auto Parts All Stars. “Speedweek will test the drivers and crews and will have a lot to say about who win the All Star title and the $50,000 at the end of the year.”
“We are excited about having K-C Raceway, Millstream and Sharon Speedway back on the Ohio Speedweek schedule, joining traditional stops like Attica, Wayne County , Limaland and Fremont . And, Speedweek is building a great tradition at Hilltop and Waynesfield. The bullrings that comprise Speedweek are guaranteed to produce close, exciting racing,” added Webb.

(Maumee, OH) For the second year in a row, the organizers of the Fremont/Attica Sprint Title in cooperation with the promoters of Attica Raceway Park and Fremont Speedway are offering a $1000 cash bonus to any FAST Series driver who can win the Ohio Sprint Speedweek points title. If one of the F.A.S.T. regulars cannot take the top spot, a $500 Bonus will be paid to the highest finishing F.A.S.T. regular for the week. If a F.A.S.T. driver does win the Speedweek title and the $1000 bonus, the $500 will be awarded to the second highest F.A.S.T. driver in the week’s standings. Points will be based on the All Star’s Ohio Speedweek points system which awards 100 points to the winner of each event and is reduced by 1 point per position through the entire field (including B-main and C-main). No show up points are calculated for determining Ohio Speedweek points.
Fremont promoter Rich Farmer and Attica promoter John Bores both stepped up to the plate in 2010 to put up the cash for this bonus as a reward for the support these teams have shown their tracks this season. “I think the FAST Series has been great for our local drivers and we want to see these teams support Ohio Speedweek and compete with the drivers from other areas around Ohio as well as give the All Stars a run for the money each night,” said Farmer. “Ohio Speedweek has always been one of the biggest weeks of sprint car racing in the State of Ohio and we would like to see these guys take it seriously and go compete each night and show the fans across the state what we get to see each weekend at Attica and Fremont.”
Drivers who are eligible for the cash bonus are:
Byron Reed, Brock Mayes, Mark Keegan, Phil Gressman, Craig Mintz, Kevin Lee, Chris Andrews, Jody Keegan, Bryan Sebetto, Brandon Martin, David Harrison, Todd Heller, Mike Linder, Brian Smith, Shawn Valenti, and Duane Zablocki.
There have been a couple of rules set forth for eligibility to receive the bonus money:
1. Driver must have competed in all F.A.S.T. Series points events through June 12, 2010.
2. Driver must have Kistler Racing Products F.A.S.T. Series decal on both side panels of the top wing for each event throughout the week. (See a F.A.S.T. Series rep for decals if needed.)
Ohio Sprint Speedweek is 9 days of sanctioned All Star Circuit of Champions events starting this Friday (June 18th) at Attica Raceway Park paying $5,000 to win and ending a week from saturday (June 26th) at Fremont Speedway for the $10,000 to win finale.
