8.18.07 Results WORLD AUTO PARTS OF HURON and CLEVELAND NIGHT

Keegan Claims 55th Win at Attica; Sebetto Takes 7th 305 Victory; Missler Scores 3rd In Late Models; Arnold Takes 2nd Truck Main

By Brian Liskai: (Attica, OH) On a night when Attica Raceway Park honored the track champions from the past 19 years, it was 12-time titlist Mark Keegan who scored his 55th career victory on World Auto Parts of Huron & Cleveland Night.

Bryan Sebetto scored his 7th win of the season in the 305 sprints, while Ryan Missler tightened up the points battle in the Fultz Fabrications & Speed Shop Attica Late Models by taking his third victory of 2007. Brian Arnold used a last lap pass to pick up his second victory of the year in the dirt trucks.

Keegan benefited from cautions just as he was entering heavy lapped traffic, giving him a clear track to hold off point-leader Byron Reed for his first win of the season at “Ohio’s Finest Racing” venue in the World Auto Parts of Huron & Cleveland 410 Sprints.

“I want to dedicate this win to Eric Phillips…this place was his dream 20 years ago and we (Mark and his brother Larry) to be a part of opening Attica Raceway Park back up,” said Keegan of the former ARP promoter who passed away earlier in the week.

“Those cautions came at the right time. There were lapped cars racing pretty hard ahead of me and I didn’t know what I was going to do. This car was so good tonight…I knew I would have to strew it up pretty good not to have a shot at winning,” said Keegan beside his Midwest Transportation and Auto Sales, Jon Wright Custom Chrome Plating backed #X car.

ImageFremont’s Bryan Sebetto used his patented high line in turns 3 and 4 to drive around early leader Stuart Brubaker and take the victory to move to within 37 points of Andy Shammo for the track title in the 305 sprints.

“I have to thank Josh Meggitt for understanding the situation I’m in. Rich Farmer allows me to drive his 410 sprint on Saturdays and Josh kept me in his car for the 305s here so I could have a shot at the points title,” said Sebetto beside his Frosty’s Put-In-Bay Bar, Gressman Powersports, Hot Shots Painting, Sandblasting and Powder-coating backed #01.

Bellevue’s Ryan Missler drove to the high side of early leader Clint Coffman and went on to score his third win of the year in the Fultz Fabrications & Speed Shop late models.

“To have a shot at the track championship I knew I had to win…that’s all I can do. I want to thank my fiancee Amber, my dad and his business Missler Industries and Machine Shop, Taze DJ and Karaoke, McElwain Construction and all my sponsors,” said Missler

Tiffin’s Brian Arnold used a lapped machine as a pick to drive around race-long leader Bob Dible with just a lap left to score the dirt truck victory.

“I have to give all the credit to my crew…we changed everything on this thing tonight. I want to thank Bobby Davis for helping us get this thing hooked up,” said Arnold beside his Burns Electric, Burns Iron & Metal, Make-A-Wish Foundation backed #33.

Keegan shot into the lead from his third starting spot at the start of the 30-lap 410 sprint feature with Tony Beaber, Lee Jacobs, Paul Weaver and Troy Vaccaro in tow. The first yellow would fall on lap 6 just as Keegan was set to hit lapped traffic.

Keegan would pull away on the restart, with the battle for second a good one between Beaber, Jacobs, Weaber and 7th starter Byron Reed. Jacobs would move into second on lap 9, with Reed moving into third a lap later. Keegan hit traffic again by lap 12, allowing Jacobs and Reed to close. Reed would move into second on lap 16 and began to pressure Keegan just as the yellow would fly on lap 19.

On the restart Reed pulled under Keegan in turns 3 and 4, but Keegan kept his momentum up running high with the yellow once again flying each of the next two laps. Once racing resumed, Keegan pulled away from Reed who now had his hands full with Jacobs.

The final yellow would fly on lap 26, saving Reed who had driven off the high side of turn 2. Keegan would lead the final four laps with Reed, Jacobs, Weaver and rookie Chris Andrews rounding out the top five.

Stuart Brubaker would grab the early lead of the 25-lap 305 sprint feature with Brad Bowman, Duane Zablocki, Sebetto and Mark Whaley in tow. Whaley would bring out the first caution on lap 3 with the running order Brubaker, Bowman, Sebetto, Zablocki and Kevin Lee. Sebetto would move into second on lap 6 and would drive to the high side of Brubaker for the lead on lap 8. Cautions on lap 10 and lap 15 and 16 would slow the action, giving Sebetto a clean track.

Sebetto would fly to the checkers with Brubaker, Zablocki, Bowman and Lee rounding out the top five.

Ashland’s Clint Coffman would grab the early lead in the 20-lap late model main with John Bores, Jim Fleming, Chuck Hummer and Ernie Haynes following. Fleming would move into the runner-up spot on lap 4 with back-to-back yellows slowing the action. Back under green, Coffman continued to hug the bottom groove for the lead with Fleming putting pressure on the high side.

Following a lap 9 caution, Fleming would drive off the high side of turn 2 to surrender second to Missler with point-leader Ken Hahn up to third from his 9th starting spot. Missler would drive around Coffman on lap 11 and would lead the remaining caution-free laps for the win with Hahn, Wayne Maffett Jr., Coffman and Fleming rounding out the top five.

Fostoria’s Bob Dible would grab the lead at the drop of the green for the 15-lap truck feature with rookie Alex Weichman, Arnold, Cory Ward and Loren Schwochow in tow. Arnold would move into second on lap 7 and would use lapped traffic to make his winning move on lap 13. Dible, Art Ball, point-leader Ward and Endicott would round out the top five.

8.3.07 Results LEGENDZ SPORTS and BAR NIGHT

Reed, Shammo Record 4th Attica Wins; Valenti, Missler Net 2nd Victories

By Brian Liskai: (Attica, OH) The point leaders in the 410 sprints and 305 sprints protected their turf on Legendz Sports Bar & Grill Night at Attica Raceway Park Friday, while the feature winners in the late models and trucks helped tighten those point battles.

Monclova’s Byron Reed, the 2003, 2005 and 2006 Attica champion, dominated the second half of the 30-lap feature to pad his lead in the point standings for the World Auto Parts of Huron & Cleveland 410 Sprints. It was Reed’s fourth win of 2007 at “Ohio’s Finest Racing” speedplant.

Defending co-champion in the 305 sprints, Andy Shammo of Millbury, Ohio, also increased his point lead – ever so slightly – by claiming his fourth victory of 2007 at ARP during the non-stop 25-lap feature. Second place point man Bryan Sebetto finished second. Shammo and Sebetto have won all but one 305 sprint feature at ARP in 2007.

ImageBellevue’s Ryan Missler, who entered the night third in the Fultz Fabrications & Speed Shop Attica Late Model point standings, led all 20 laps of the feature to claim his second victory of 2007, tightening the point battle as he closed on leader Ken Han and second place point man Larry Kingseed.

Risingson’s Shawn Valenti entered the night’s racing fourth in the dirt truck point standings. He too closed the gap with his second victory, edging third place point man Bob Dible by a fender with a last lap, last corner pass. Point leader Art Ball dropped out while running second.

“This win goes to the crew. They had this car so perfect…it was easy to drive. Hats off to the track crew too…this racetrack was awesome. You could run anywhere you wanted. I have to thank Barry Jackson and JEI Chassis…they have us on a roll right now,” said Reed beside his Reebar Die Casting/ Schoenfeld Mufflers, Weld Wheels backed #5.

Image”The car rolled around the bottom well and when I needed to get up on the cushion to get around lapped traffic it was good up there too,” said Shammo beside his Advanced Speciality Contractor/Herman-Kinn Funeral Home backed #48s. “I have to thank our great sponsors and Level Performance for such a great motor.”

“Those yellow flags late in the race hurt. The car went from 190 degrees to 250 degrees there at the end. It helps to start up front. We came here tonight determined to get back into the point battle,” said Missler beside his McElwain Construction, Taze DJ & Karaoke, MIssler Industries Machine Shop backed late model.

“I apologize for getting into Bob (Dible) down the backstretch…but hey, that was for the win. I watched the sprint cars and they were fast going high in 3 and 4 and low in 1 and 2 and that’s what I did,” said Valenti beside his Kern Tool, Dymond Motorsports & Fabrication backed dirt truck.

In the 410 sprint feature, there were two misques at the start that sent Scott Curran, Caleb Griffith, Ed Neumeister and Mike Linder to the rear due to spins. Once the race got underway, Craig Mintz bolted into the lead from his third starting spot. While Mintz built a sizeable lead, John Ivy, Chris Andrews, Brock Mayes, Lee Jacobs and Byron Reed battled back and forth behind.

Mintz hit lapped traffic by lap 9, allowing Ivy and Mayes to close. Mayes would move into second on lap 10 and would use a lapped machine as a pick to drive around Mintz for the top spot a lap later. Ivy, Reed and Andrews would swap positions each corner before Reed would execute a low move in turns 1 and 2 to go from fourth to second in one lap. Reed drove around Mayes exiting turn 4 on lap 14 to grab the lead.

ImageWhile Reed sliced his way through traffic like a surgeon, Mayes, Ivy, Mintz, Andrews and now Brandon Martin would stage a torrid battle behind. Action would halt on lap 21 for a stalled Lee Jacobs, with the running order Reed, Mayes, Ivy, Martin and Andrews as Mintz began to fade.

Reed would pull away on the restart and would take his 21st career Attica victory to move into second on the all-time win list behind Mark Keegan’s 54 triumphs. Mayes, Ivy, 11th-starter Greg Wilson and 12th-starter Martin would round out the top five.

Coty Runion would grab the early lead in the non-stop 25-lap 305 sprint feature with Dustin Dinan, Bryan Sebetto, Shammo and Scott Kraylek in tow. Shammo would move under Sebetto on lap 3 and past Dinan into second a lap later. Runion and Shammo would race side by side the next five laps before Shammo gained the top spot on lap 9. Sebetto would move into second a lap later, but couldn’t reel in Shammo.

While Shammo picked his way through traffic, Runion fought back to reclaim second on lap 15. Runion would bobble three laps later, allowing Sebetto to move back into the runner-up spot and close briefly on Shammo. The car on the move was Stuart Brubaker, who climbed from his 7th-starting position to fourth by lap 14 and would move into third by lap 19.

Shammo would take the checkered over Sebetto, Brubaker, Runion and Benny Bowman.

ImageIn the 20-lap late model feature, Missler grabbed the early lead with Devin Shiels, John Mayes Jr., Curtis Diesenroth and Hans Gross in tow. Missler would continue to lead when the first yellow flew on lap 10. The car on the move was Randy Scott, who had worked his way up to third from his 11th-starting position behind Missler and Mayes.

While Missler continued to lead, Mayes and Scott would battle back and forth for second with Scott taking the position on lap 14 as the yellow flew again. Missler would build a big lead once again, only to see it vanish as he took the white flag which was replaced by yellow for a spinning Ernie Haynes. As the white and green came out together on the restart, Missler stayed out front for the win, with Scott, new point leader Ken Hahn, Mayes and Gross rounding out the top five.

ImageDible, who had won the last two features at Attica, grabbed the lead at the drop of the green in the 15-lap dirt truck feature. Chuck Roelle wouldn’t let him get away though, staying right on his bumper. Art Ball, who was recovering from a brief hospital stay for surgery to remove his gall bladder earlier in the week, utilized the bottom groove to move from fifth to second by lap five. Dible and Ball raced door to door the next eight laps until Ball left with what appeared to be mechanical woes as the final yellow would fly. Dible continued to lead over Roelle, 9th-starter Valenti and 10th-starter Cory Ward. Valenti would dispose of Roelle as they took the white flag. He and Dible would touch exiting turn two as they raced hard down the back stretch. Dible would change his high land to the bottom in 3 and 4, trying to stop Valenti’s assault, but Valenti drove to the outside as they raced side by side to the checkered flag.

Valenti edged Dible by a half-funder for the win, with Roelle, Steve Endicott and Ward rounding out the top five.

Attica Raceway Park will not be in action Friday, Aug. 10 as the Attica Independent Fair is held. Racing for the remainder of the season takes place on Saturdays, Aug. 18, 25 and Sept. 1.
