Conley earns 1st ever Attica 410 win; Drown gets late race passs for late model victory; Peters finally scores 305 win

By Brian Liskai

ATTICA, Ohio – Apparently getting married in the key to getting your first win at Attica Raceway Park. Vienna, West Virginia’s Cale Conley and Shelby, Ohio’s Kyle Peters both got married since last fall and both scored their first career wins at “Ohio’s Finest Racing” speed plant on Saturday, April 6. Conley scored the victory in the 410 sprints while Peters earned his first ever sprint car win in the 305 division. Wooster, Ohio’s Doug Drown, though married for awhile, got a late race pass for his 25th career win at Attica in the late model feature on Murphy Tractor & Equipment/UBS Financial Services/Construction Equipment & Supply/Advanced Drainage Systems Night.

All three features came down to the final hand full of laps in front of a huge crowd for the 2019 lid-lifter at Attica. Conley, aboard the Dave Jessup owned Merchant Services Ltd., Brookville Auto Parts backed machine, took the lead of the Callie’s Performance Products 410 Sprint A-main on lap two, lost it to two time Attica champion Chris Andrews on lap eight and then drove back into the lead on lap 17. The 26-year-old driver nearly gave up the victory with two laps to go when he caught a rut and nearly spun. He was able to hang on for his first Attica victory.

“Right at the start I thought it felt pretty good. That was a wild first few laps and then he (Andrews) passed it and I thought well we aren’t doing something right. But I stayed right there with him so I thought I’ll just stay with this and he’ll hit that rut and make a mistake and he did. This is like a bucket list win. Attica is unreal. I’ve raced a lot of different types of cars and different people and have been very fortunate but this is one of the toughest by far. And to do it with Dave and Brian (Kemenah) and everybody that’s helped and I have my wife and little baby here so this is the most special win I’ve had,” Conley said.
