May 26th 2023 Results

Philo earns last lap, last corner 410 Attica win; Shiels gets 1st late model victory; Miller dominates 305 sprints

By Brian Liskai

ATTICA, Ohio – While everyone else was running around the bottom, Travis Philo pulled his wing back and blasted away at Attica Raceway Park’s cushion Friday, May 26. The move and adjustments his crew made paid off as the Waterville, Ohio driver blasted around race-long leader Jordan Ryan on the last corner of the last lap to earn his the 410 sprint victory on Steinle Chevrolet Buick of Clyde/Norwalk Concrete Night.

Philo’s margin of victory was .236 seconds and it was his ninth career win at Attica.

Jordan Ryan led the first 29.75 laps. He was challenged the first half of the race by Stuart Brubaker. With just eight laps to go, Ryan had pulled away from the field while Philo got around Brubaker for second. By lap 25, Philo had found the top side of the track and closed quickly on Ryan, setting him up for the last lap excitement.

“I was kicking myself the last five times I tried to run the bottom in three and four. I would get huge runs off of four but it was so hard to get slowed down and hit that bottom right. I knew the top was working…that’s where I passed all my cars coming off of four and getting into one. We tried a little bit different stuff tonight and I have to thank my dad and AJ Havens, Kayden Havens and their entire family. My dad busts his ass for us to be able to do this and I’m extremely appreciative,” said Philo beside his Control Design Solutions, Tire Slick, Banshee Graphics, Columbus Equipment, Bohmer Rentals, Kistler Engines, Berryman Racing Shocks, Classic Ink USA, Maxim Chassis backed #5T.

Devin Shiels, who has won the last three consecutive Dirt Nerds Podcast/Propane.com UMP Late Model track championships at Attica, began the season with a new car and the results were not something the Britton, Michigan driver was used to. Shiels and his team overcame the gremlins Friday at Attica, snatching the lead with just three laps to go to earn his 16th career victory at “Ohio’s Finest Racing” venue.

Canadian Gregg Haskell looked as though he was going to earn his first Attica win, leading the first 21 laps. But, Shiels found something on the top side of turns three and four and took the lead just before a caution with 22 laps complete. Shiels drove away for the win.

“We’ve had some gremlins with this car. We had a right front shut-off for the brake that was sticking on causing me to push and we were trying to chase it with the set-up and didn’t find the brake until last week. We’ve been trying some stuff here and there and the new car seems to be almost like the old car was….maybe a little better,” said Shiels of his Magic Fountain Auto Wash, Rally’s Hamburgers, Dundee Products, Banshee Graphics, Salenbein Trucking & Excavating, Dirt Nerds Podcast, Banshee Graphics backed #51.

Three time Fremont Fence 305 sprint champion Jamie Miller also blasted away at Attica’s high line, charging from his eighth starting spot to the lead by just lap six. The Fremont, Ohio driver earned his second Attica win of 2023 in dominating fashion, taking the checkers by nearly seven seconds for his 37th career victory at the track.

“I don’t know what was going on behind me…all I know is this went to the front pretty fast. This thing was locked down fast. We have a new motor in the car and it’s a real ripper,” said Miller of his Boca Construction, Kenny Kalb Farms, Roberts & Sons Contracting, JLH General Contractor, Tuck Pointing America, Pizza Wheel, Smitty’s Pizza, Queen of Clean, Rohr Total Lawn Care, Crown Battery, Reedtown Tavern, Fostoria Mod Shop, Slade Shock Technology, CA Kustoms, Jamie Miller Trucking, Reliable Spray Foam Insulators, Gill Sawmill backed sprint car.

Attica Raceway Park will be back in action Friday, June 2 for Mid Season Championship Night with double points on the line. It will be an All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group night paying the Callie’s Performance 410 Sprint feature winner $4,000. The Dirt Nerds/Propane.com UMP Late Models will fight for $2,000 to win while the Napa of Bryan AFCS presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales 305 Sprints will battle for $1,200 to win.
