Scouts To Be Honored On 5.8.09

(Attica, OH) Super late models, 305 sprint cars & dirt trucks headline the action at Attica Raceway Park this Friday night on R&R Auto Wrecking/ Merrill Lynch/ Scouts Night! All Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and scout leaders in uniform will get in FREE to watch some of the best dirt track racing action that’s offered in Ohio. Also adult general admission is only $10 making it an affordable night of entertainment for the entire family!

The Fultz Fabrications & Speed Shop UMP Late Models have created two looming questions on fan’s mind this season so far. First, who will be pulling into the pits on any given Friday since Attica went to full-blown UMP DIRTcar rules this season? And secondly who will eventually win with such stout competition now competing at “Ohio’s Finest Racing” venue? Only former Eldora Dream winner Matt Miller has picked up two feature wins so far this season, which has given him the early lead in track points.

Shawn Valenti will look to continue the Fremont Fence 305 Sprint Car streak of winning back-to-back features as done previously by feature winners Travis Hoffbauer (3/27 & 4/4) and Paul Weaver (4/11 & 3/17). He will have his hands full as the 305 sprint division is stacked with veteran drivers and a wealth of young talent climbing the racing ladder.

Also on the racing card are the dirt trucks who will be making their second appearance of the season at Attica. The ageless Art Ball picked up the first feature win, but the ultra competitive division has many guessing who will win until the checkered flag is dropped due to two & three-wide racing each time they pull out onto the track.

You don’t want to miss another great night of racing and affordable entertainment at “Ohio’s Finest Racing” venue this Friday night. Gates open at 5 p.m. with racing starting at 7:45 p.m. sharp. Adult general admission is only $10, ages 10 & under are FREE, & pit passes are $25.

Attica Raceway Park To Address Tire Issues

By Brian Liskai: (Attica, OH) To help race teams with tire issues they have experienced over the past couple of weeks, Attica Raceway Park will begin adjusting the track preparation immediately.

“We have been made aware of concerns from the race teams on tire wear issues and we are working to address the situation,” said Attica Promoter John Bores, himself a late model driver.

Also, the track will begin alternating the order of racing events between the Fultz Fabrications and Speed Shop UMP Late Models and Fremont Fence 305 Sprints.

Bores and Operations Manager Rex LeJeune are hoping the changes along with a new spec tire rule for the sprint cars that will begin in June, will help the situation.

“We appreciate all of the support we have received so far this season and will continue to work to make sure we help the race teams put on a great show for the fans,” added LeJeune.
