MAUMEE, OH (6-9-13) by Scott Porter - F.A.S.T. Public Relations

The racing action for the Kistler Racing Products Fremont/Attica Sprint Title (F.A.S.T.) Championship Series presented by KS Sales & Service did not disappoint this weekend as numerous UNOH All Star regulars invaded the Northern Ohio speed plants with a rare off-weekend, but it was the tough F.A.S.T. Series regulars who would be triumphant in holding off a pair of past All Star Champions. Current F.A.S.T. Kistler Cup points leader Craig Mintz recorded a pair of sixth place runs and continues to sit atop the points. Not to be out done the JLH General Contractors F.A.S.T. 305 Championship Series put on a tremendous weekend of racing that saw Nate Dussel climb to the top of the points standings thanks to second place finish on Friday and claiming the checkered flag on Saturday.

A stellar field of 31 410 sprint cars signed in Friday night for the chance at the $3,000 winner's share at Attica Raceway Park. A heavy track with a daunting cushion played into the hands of defending F.A.S.T. Series Champion Bryan Sebetto. Sebetto, aboard the Hammer Pallets, Crown Battery, JLH General Contractors backed Hammer Motorsports #24H, rocketed from outside of the front row to set a blistering pace for the feature event. The real battle was for second place as Brian Lay went wheel to wheel with Dale Blaney lap after lap around "Ohio's Finest Racing" speed plant. Lay held off the veteran for 29 laps, but Blaney would outwit Lay on the last lap earning the runner-up spot.  The third place performance by Lay would be a career best performance for the Genoa, Ohio driver in F.A.S.T. competition. Caleb Griffith and Byron Reed would round out the top-five.

In the JLH General Contractors F.A.S.T. 305 Championship Series, it was Dustin Dinan holding off the challenge from Nate Dussel to secure his first career Fremont/Attica Sprint Title feature win and his second win of the year. The two would drive off from the rest of the field leaving Jason Keckler, hard charging Jordan Ryan and Alvin Roepke in their dust to round out the top-five. The second place finish for Dussel would move the Bradner, Ohio native into first place in the season championship hunt for the $1,500 winner's share at season's end.

Attention turned to Fremont Speedway on Saturday and racing action took center stage after the induction ceremony of the fifth class into the speedway's Hall of Fame. An epic battle would brew in the 30-lap feature for the Kistler Racing Products Fremont/Attica Sprint Title as early race leader Caleb Griffith would encounter a challenge from Tim Shaffer as the pair raced in lap traffic. Using a lapped car for a pick move, the former multi-time All Star Champion Shaffer would momentarily take the lead away. Griffith would build his momentum back up on the high side around "The Track That Action Built" to eventually put a slider on Shaffer in turns three and four bringing the crowd to its feet and drive off to his first career 410 sprint car win. Rookie contender D.J. Foos, Byron Reed and Greg Wilson rounded out the top-five.

After taking the point lead one night earlier, Nate Dussel only had one thing on his mind and that was capturing the checkered flag and extending his points lead with just a handful of races left in the 10-race mini series. After putting himself into second place by lap 12, after starting in seventh, Dussel would try to capitalize on a restart to take the lead away from T.J. Michael. Michael would not step down and the duo raced side-by-side for a handful of laps until another yellow flag halted the race yet again. With a clear track in front of him, Dussel would drive off to pick up his second F.A.S.T. 305 victory and his sixth of the season in Northern Ohio.

After the dust had settled, Craig Mintz continues to lead the Kistler Racing Products F.A.S.T. Championship Series after another consistent weekend aboard the Reel-Geese Decoys, KS Sales & Service, GF-1 Chassis backed Mintz Motorsports #09. Caleb Griffith moved into second place and chiseled a bit off of Mintz's lead. Griffith sits just 56 points behind Mintz after a top-5 run at Attica and a win at Fremont continuing a streak of three top-5 finishes aboard the Clark Racing #40DD. Continuing an impressive rookie campaign aboard a 410 sprint car, D.J. Foos moved up into third place now 79-markers out of first. After missing the feature the week before at Attica, Monclova, Ohio's Byron Reed returned to form picking up his fourth and fifth top-5 finish of 2013 moving the 2010 F.A.S.T. Champion into fourth place. A disappointing weekend for the Burmeister Racing #16 dropped Chris Andrews into fifth place, but just three points back of Reed. Brian Smith sits in sixth place after a costly flip at Fremont after rubbing wheels with his Team CHR teammate Cap Henry. Wooster, Ohio's Dean Jacobs aboard the McClure Motorsports #9 sits in seventh ahead of Duane Zablocki, while Brian Lay and Brad Bowman round out the top-ten.

Nate Dussel now sits atop of the JLH General Contractors F.A.S.T. 305 Championship Series by 28 points ahead of John Ivy. A pair of hard Charger performances by young hot shoe Jordan Ryan helped move him into third place ahead of Jason Keckler and Alvin Roepke who are tied for fourth. Mechanical issues at Attica and an early spin at Fremont cost Bobby Clark as he drops into sixth place. Dinan, sits in seventh, suffered engine woes on Saturday at Fremont showing how much luck can swing in motorsports. T.J. Michael had an impressive performance at Fremont rests in 8th, while Paul Weaver and Seth Schneider round out the top-five.

The battle for the $10,000 to win championship for the Kistler Racing Products Fremont/Attica Sprint Title presented by KS Sales & Service continues on next weekend at Attica on Friday, June 13th and Fremont Speedway on Saturday, June 14th. While racing continues for the 305 sprint cars during the next several weeks, the next JLH General Contractors F.A.S.T. 305 Series points event is not until the weekend of July 26th and 27th.

Caleb Griffith Puts Himself In Championship Contention After Earning Feature Win

By Brian Liskai - Fremont Speedway Public Relations

(Fremont, OH) While he is only 25 years old Caleb Griffith of Sandusky has been racing a long time. He would be the first to admit when he was younger and things didn’t go his way, he would lose his cool and it would have an impact on how he finished races. However, on Saturday at Fremont Speedway, he showed his racing maturity, not losing his cool when he was passed for the lead and then stormed back around four time UNOH All Star Champion Tim Shaffer with four laps to go to claim the 410 sprint feature win.
 
Griffith’s first 410 win at Fremont Speedway came on Vision Quest Hall of Fame Night. Prior to the racing, 12 individuals were inducted into the track’s hall of fame.
 
Griffith jumped into the lead early with Shaffer taking over on the second circuit. But then on lap 9 Griffith would blast under Shaffer and execute a slide job in turns three and four to regain the lead. As he raced into lapped traffic, Shaffer would use one of the back markers as a pick to regain the lead on lap 19, but Griffith didn’t give up and executed another slider for the lead on lap 26 and went on to his fourth career Fremont win. It was the first victory for Griffith in the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprints and gives him valuable points as he chases the Kistler Racing Products FAST (Fremont Attica Sprint Title) Championship Series title and its $10,000 reward.
 
“I got a good start…the first lap was decent. I rolled it down in this end and it was way loose and I about blowed it off the end. I was like ‘yeah we’re done.’ So Byron (Reed) gets by me and it takes a little while for me to get calmed down. I have the winged yanked back early and I’m thinking ‘this isn’t good.’ I looked at Tim’s (Shaffer) wing under the caution and he hasn’t even moved it yet. He’s running the bottom and I’m not real good off the one and two end but I just keep waiting and it got to the point where I could slide him and he passed me back. I was like ‘shoot…keep your mo(mentum) up, keep your mo up don’t get flustered.’ I’ve been there before and blew it off the end. I don’t know how close the slider was but I was going for the win,” said Griffith in the Engine Pro Victory Lane beside his Al Davis Carpet/Crown Battery/McDonald’s Restaurant/Young’s Batter Mix/Griff’s Engines backed machine.
 
“I have to thank Al Davis, Vic…they stuck with me last year when I got hurt. They had to take Chris (Bell) down to Little Rock and race a little bit to get their fix. I have to thank all the sponsors. I know everyone says it, but we really couldn’t do this without their help and support,” added Griffith beside the Tackle Box 2/Meggitt Farms/E-Z Shop/B&L Heating/Fremont Roofing/Fremont Athletic Supply/Ross’ Lawn care backed sprinter. “I’ve been waiting for this since 04. For a long time I’ve had a love hate relationship with this place…I just loved to hate it but this makes up for a lot that.”

Griffith and Justin Henderson would bring the field to the green in the 30-lap feature for the Kistler Racing Products F.A.S.T. (Fremont/Attica Sprint Title) Championship Title with Griffith getting the advantage as third starter Tim Shaffer would drive into second. Shaffer would race under Griffith for the lead on the second circuit as Byron Reed moved into third with Henderson, Paige Polyak, Cap Henry and D.J. Foos in pursuit. Chris Andrews would spin on lap 4 to slow the race pace with the running order Shaffer, Reed, Griffith, Henderson, Polyak, Henry, Foos, Brian Smith, Craig Mintz and Greg Wilson. When the green reappeared, Shaffer would stick to his bottom groove as Griffith pulled his top wing back and shot to the outside of Reed for second.
 
On lap seven Smith would tangle with Henry, with Smith flipping in turn one, but exiting his broken machine without injury. On the restart Griffith raced to Shaffer’s outside but couldn’t complete the pass for the lead. But on the next lap Griffith blasted in under Shaffer in turns three and four and slid up in front to take the lead. Griffith could not shake Shaffer as Reed, Foos, Henderson and Wilson gave chase. At the half way point, Griffith continued to lead with Shaffer and Reed within striking distance as Foos was starting to close.
 
Griffith raced into lapped traffic on lap 19 and Shaffer quickly moved in and used a back-marker as a pick to drive into the lead. Shaffer would continue to lead as Griffith calmly worked his way through traffic with Reed, Foos, Wilson, Mintz and Holtgraver trying to stay close. With five laps to go Griffith was right on Shaffer’s rear bumper and again would execute nearly an identical move as he did prior to take the lead in turns three and four. Griffith was able to hold off Shaffer for the win Foos taking third on the last lap while Reed and Wilson rounded out the top five.

Dussel Extends FAST 305 Points Lead After Earning Feature Win

By Brian Liskai - Fremont Speedway Public Relations

(Fremont, OH) The JLH General Contractors Fremont/Attica Sprint Title (F.A.S.T.) 305 Championship Series put on a tremendous show on a JLH General Contractors FAST points night. Jason Keckler led early but rookie T.J. Michael raced him hard the first eight laps before taking over the top spot on lap 9. Michael could not shake Keckler and a closing Nate Dussel and on a restart on lap 13, Dussel would take the lead. Michael would not give up and continually raced under Dussel and would lead lap 15 but the caution would fly. On the restart Dussel shot back into the lead but a caution and another restart would see Michael regain the top spot. Another caution and another restart would find Dussel back into the lead. Once the race got going, Dussel would pull away for his fourth win of the season at Fremont and the 11th of his career at the track.
 
“I could see I needed to get around him (Michael) on top cause I could see the top was starting to go away in just a matter of laps. I got lucky and got around him and got to the bottom. He did a hell of a job for his first year in a sprint car. It took everything I had to get around him,” said Dussel in the Engine Pro Victory Lane beside his Berrier Fabrication/Kylynn Manufacturing/Gressman Powersports/Dussel Welding/Conrad Transport backed #1. “This is the first time my big sponsor, Kylynn and Tommy and Dawn Dussel and my buddy Kevin who says he comes all the time and I don’t win got to see this.”

Keckler and Alvin Roepke would bring the 305 sprint field to the green for their A-main with Keckler gaining the advantage with third starter Michael taking second with Roepke, Dustin Dinan, Paul Weaver, Dussel and Bobby Clark in pursuit. Dinan’s motor would expire on lap three, bringing out the caution. On the restart Michael would race under Keckler as they battled for the lead. The pair raced side by side over the next five laps before Michel took the top spot on lap 9.
 
Meanwhile Dussel had worked his way to third with Roepke, Weaver, Clark and John Ivy giving chase. Michael would pull away slightly as Keckler now had his hands full with Dussel. Dussel would move into second on lap 12 as the caution would fly for a Bobby Clark spin. On the restart Dussel would drive to Michael’s outside to grab the top spot, but Michael would not give up, racing to his inside each of the next three laps. Michael would lead lap 15 by a nose, but the caution would fly for a Matt Merrill incident. A lap and another caution for Seth Schneider. A lap and another yellow for Tyler Gunn.
 
When the green came back out Dussel drove around Michael for the lead and immediately went to the bottom groove. That move would break Michael’s momentum and Dussel drove to the checkers over Michael, Roepke, Keckler and Jordan Ryan.

Sebetto Bolts To First Fremont/Attica Sprint TItle Feature Win of 2013

By Brian Liskai - Attica Raceway Park Public Relations

(Attica, OH) Bryan Sebetto has had a reputation for being inpatient and very daring behind the wheel of a 410 sprint car. But, the 30-year-old Fremont driver showed maturity and patience Friday at Attica Raceway Park, and it took him to victory lane to claim the $3,000 winner's share.
 
Sebetto, who has claimed the last two Kistler Racing Products F.A.S.T. (Fremont/Attica Sprint Title) Championship Titles, lead all 30 laps but it wasn’t easy by any means. On a very fast and heavy track, Sebetto road the cushion and several times escaped with the lead as he got over the ledge. Then, when he got to lapped traffic, he slowed down and carefully picked his line which allowed Brian Lay and Dale Blaney to close quickly. The last five laps had the top three running inches apart but Sebetto would take the FAST points feature event for his first Attica win of 2013 and the eighth of his career at “Ohio’s Finest Racing” speedplant.
 
“You could run it in wide open in one and two and when I had to burp it a little or missed the cushion it would bite and I had to really fight it. The lapped cars were just as fast as us and when I got to Chris (Andrews) and he was running my line, it made it interesting,” said Sebetto beside his Hammer Pallets/Crown Batter/Gressman Powersports/JLH General Contractors/Meggit Powder Coating/All Pro Heads/Butlerbuilt backed #24h.
 
“We have struggled a lot this season but we finally got an All Star win at Fremont a couple of weeks ago and that gave this entire team a lot of confidence. I think we are going to get on a roll now,” added Sebetto.
 
In the 30-lap feature for the Kistler Racing Products F.A.S.T. Championship Series presented by KS Sales & Service, Brad Bowman and Sebetto would bring the field to the green with Sebetto rocketing into the lead. The action would grind to a halt on lap two as Danny Holtgraver got upside down in turn three. He would walk away but his night was done.
 
On the restart Sebetto pulled away from Bowman as Brian Lay, Brian Smith, Blaney, Caleb Griffith, Cap Henry and Brandon Martin gave chase. With Seven laps in Sebetto had built nearly a two second lead as Bowman battled with Lay and Blaney for second. Sebetto’s blistering pace put him in lapped traffic by the 11th circuit as Lay grabbed second and a lap later Blaney took third. D.J. Foos would coast to a stop off the back stretch on lap 14 to bring out the caution just as Lay and Blaney had cut Sebetto lead to less than half a second.
 
With a clear track, once again Sebetto rocketed away as Lay was now being pressured by Blaney with Bowman, Griffith and Smith in pursuit.
 
As the laps ticked off, Byron Reed, who started 15th, and defending track champion and current FAST and Attica point leader Craig Mintz, who started 14th, were charging through the field. With 10 laps to go, Reed had climbed to 7th with Mintz in 8th.
 
As Sebetto inched closer to the rear of the field, Lay and Blaney battled hard for second. When the leader caught lapped traffic with five laps to go, his nearly two second lead had once again evaporated to less than a half a second as Lay and Blaney quickly closed. Sebetto took the white flag with Lay and Blaney right on his rear bumper as lapped cars were holding up the leader. As the lead trio hit turns three and four on the final lap Blaney executed a banzai move and drove under Lay and right beside Sebetto, but the leader kept up his momentum and drove the win with Blaney, Lay, Griffith and Reed rounding out the top five.

Dustin Dinan Hustles To JLH General Contractors FAST 305 Series Win At Attica

By Brian Liskai - Attica Raceway Park Public Relations

(Attica, OH) Fremont’s Dustin Dinan avoided catastrophe late in the Foster’s Auto Body 305 Sprint feature as two cars he was about to lap tangled and flipped inches in front of him. He would then pull away for his second career Attica victory and the second of the season at the track, as he lead all 25 laps to claim the JLH General Contractor FAST 305 Championship points event.
 
“I don’t know how I got through that…I guess it was just luck. I kind of said a few cuss words and said I hope I can make it through,” said Dinan beside his Alley Tap Room/Tanks Meats/Johnson’s Hunting and Fishing/Quality Welding/Schiets Tender Touch Car Wash/Quaintance Farms backed #6.
 
“It was good for me to get that break at the end….that gave me a clear track. I was a little nervous because he (Nate Dussel) was pretty fast. I have to thank my crew, Dave Foos, A. J. Sleek, Jamie and Homeless and Rachel and my baby girl Skylar and Rich Farmer and Shelly Liskai for all their support,” added Dinan.
 
Dinan and Alvin Roepke would lead the field to the green in the 25-lap 305 sprint main with Dinan powering into the lead while fourth starter Bobby Clark drove into second with Roepke, Nate Dussel, Matt Merrill and Dan Hammond in tow. Dinan set a fast pace and pulled to a sizeable lead as Clark ran comfortably in second with Roepke battling Dussel for third.
 
Dinan would encounter lapped traffic by the seventh lap but Clark could not gain ground as Roepke and Dussel continued to battle for third. Dinan escaped several close calls in traffic and would lead comfortably as Dussel got his elbows up and drove into second on lap 14. Dussel began to close as traffic was racing thick in front of the leader. Dinan was held up by two lapped cars racing side by side in front of him with four laps to go as Dussel closed to his rear bumper. The cars of Jimmy Colvin and Jeremy Duposki collided and flipped just feet in front of Dinan and Dussel with Dinan narrowly splitting the two crashing machines.
 
Just before the restart, third place running Clark would go pit side with mechanical woes. When the green reappeared, Dinan would pull away from Dussel as Roepke was not in a battle with Jordan Ryan who had started 11th, and Jason Keckler for the third spot. Keckler would drive into third with two laps to go, but could not catch the top two.
 
Dinan would drive to the win over Dussel, Keckler, Ryan and Roepke.
