ATTICA, Ohio – Byron Reed opened his 30th year of sprint car racing in convincing fashion Friday, April 12 at Attica Raceway Park. The Monclova, Ohio driver led all 30 laps of the 410 sprint feature to record his 40th career win at “Ohio’s Finest Racing” speed plant on True 
Alpha Wealth Management/Fisher Performance Night.
Bellevue, Ohio’s Mike Bores battled Travis Stemler side by side the last six laps of the late model A-main before claiming his fifth career Attica win by half a car length.
Fremont, Ohio’s John Ivy found something in the middle of the track and cruised to his 16th career 305 sprint feature win at Attica.
Reed, an eight time Attica champion, also claimed the first victory for the newly created Kistler Racing Products/All Pro Aluminum Heads Attica Fremont Championship Series (AFCS) Presented by the Baumann Auto Group. Ivy’s win was also the first in the new KS Sales & Service AFCS Presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales. The AFCS has a hefty point fund for both the 410s and 305 sprints separate from both Attica Raceway Park and Fremont Speedway.
Reed’s victory aboard the Crown Battery backed machine didn’t come easy as young up-and-comer Buddy Kofoid from Penngrove, California charged from deep in the pack (10th) for the second week in a row to challenge for the win.
