Chaney dominates at Fremont.
By Brian Liskai
FREMONT, Ohio (Saturday, May 12, 2007) - Rob Chaney's resume speaks for
itself. Yet the Millersburg, Ohio driver seems to have had problems finding
a sprint car ride of late. However, it appears he has found a comfortable
seat in the Randy and Lisa Hammer car in 2007 as he dominated Saturday's 410
sprint feature at Fremont Speedway.
"Randy and Lisa Hammer spend a bunch of money to give me an opportunity to
race. Rob Hunter owns the truck and trailer and motor. We have a bunch of
guys working on this that just love racing," said Chaney beside his Hammer
Pallets sponsored #24h in the Engine Pro Victory Lane.
"Aaron (Hammer, crew chief) wasn't here tonight, but we've been on the phone
with him all night and he got us pointed in the right direction. I put the
wing all the way back on the start and it
stuck," said Chaney of his eighth career Fremont victory.
It was double features on Legendz Sports Bar & Grill Night for the Fremont
Fence Dirt Trucks. Sandusky's Cory Ward took the lead for good on lap 16 of
the 20-lap affair to grab his first win of the year in the make-up Kistler
Engines Night feature from April 28. It was his second career Fremont
victory.
"I'm dedicating this year to my Grandpa...we lost him this winter and he was
a special part of our team," said Ward beside his Excuses Lounge, Budweiser
sponsored #18w in the Engine Pro Victory Lane.
In the Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint feature, Bettsville, Ohio's
Craig Kayes held off Andy Shammo to score his first career feature victory.
"The yellow flags at the end gave me a clear track, but I saw that 48 car on
my bumper. I knew I had to just hit my marks on the high side and I'd be
alright," said Kayes beside his Jenny's Copper Penny, Michael Snell
Construction, Roberts Sandblasting sponsored #9k.
In the Legendz Sports Bar & Grill Night A-main for the dirt trucks,
Risingson's Shawn Valenti held off challenges by Brian Arnold to win his
second career Fremont feature.
"After I watched the sprint features I saw there wasn't much on the bottom,
so I went to the top groove...I had to be careful not to slip up over the
lip," said Valenti beside his Kern Tool, Dymond Motorsports sponsored #28.
The Fort Ball Pizza 410 Sprints saw Bobby Clark lead the first lap from his
pole starting spot. Chaney then utilized the extreme high groove to sling
shot around Clark exiting turn 4 to complete the second lap and never looked
back. The racing behind Chaney was tight with Clark, David Harrison, Lee
Jacobs, Mike Linder and Byron Reed.
Harrison would move into second on lap 8 and that is where he would finish.
Jacobs, fast-qualifier Byron Reed and 13th starter John Ivy would round out
the top five in the non-stop affair.
Pole-sitter Scott Mominee would grab the lead in the 25-lap Fremont Federal
Credit Union 305 Sprints feature, with Kayes and Cap Henry in tow. Henry
would move under Kayes on lap four, with Chad Gullett putting the pressure
on for third.
Mominee, Henry and Kayes would run nose to tail until lap 14 when Kayes
suddenly found the speed to overtake them on the high side for the lead.
Gullett would move into second on lap 15 and hounded Kayes. Meanwhile 12th
start Andy Shammo - who won both the make-up and regular features the
previous week at Fremont, steadily picked his way through the pack and would
take second on lap 17. The first caution would fly on lap 17 with the
running order Kayes, Shammo, Gullett, Henry and Mominee.
Shammo would take a couple of peaks under Kayes the next three laps until
another yellow waved on lap 20. Kayes began to pull away on the restart and
went on the Engine Pro Victory Lane over Shammo, Henry, Stuart Brubaker and
Gullett.
In the make-up feature for the dirt trucks, Steve Sabo would take the
initial lead with Dwight Waltermeier, Art Ball, Valenty and Ward racing hard
on his bumper. By lap four Sabo would lead over Ward and Waltermeier as they
raced each other hard. They would remain the top three until Ward moved
around Sabo for the lead on lap 14. With just two laps remaining
Waltermeier's engine expired.
At the checkered it was Ward over Sabo, 11th-starter Art Howey Jr., Brian
Arnold and 10th-starter Steve Endicott.
In the regular truck A-main, Charley Gingrich would grab the initial lead,
but Valenti would power around him on the second lap. Meanwhile Arnold would
move into second on lap five and would pressure Valenti the remaining 15
laps. Gingrich would hold onto third at the checkered, with 10th-starter Bob
Dible fourth and Eric DeVanna rounding out the top five.
Fremont Speedway will be back in action Saturday, May 19 for Roots Poultry
Night featuring the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprints, Fremont Federal
Credit Union 305 Sprints and the Fremont Fence and Guardrail Dirt Trucks. It
will be double-features for the 410 sprints who will make up the April 28
rained out main.
