Reed breaks into Attica victory lane.
ATTICA, Ohio - Byron Reed inched closer to his fourth straight Attica
Raceway Park track championship with his first 410 sprint win of the season
at "Ohio's Finest Racing" speedplant on Friday, July 4 in front of a big
crowd on Quality Welding Presents Fan Appreciation Night.
Fremont's Bobby Clark led all 25 laps for his fourth win of the year in the
305 sprints.
Mansfield's Wayne Maffett Jr. tied his father, the late Wayne Maffett Sr.
with his 30th win in the Service Drive Solutions UMP Attica Late Models.
Tiffin's Brian Arnold led all 15 laps for his first win of the season in the
dirt trucks.
Reed assumed the lead on the ninth lap when Jamie Miller made contact with a
lapped machine, giving him a flat tire. The Monclova, Ohio driver withstood
a last lap challenge from Craig Mintz for his 22nd career Attica victory.
"I'm not a very good leader. I made some mistakes in lapped traffic, but
Curt, Ramey and my dad had the car so good, I could overcome those," said
Reed beside his Reebar Die-casting, ProShocks, JEI Chassis backed sprinter.
Clark held off several late race challenges - including a restart with two
laps remaining - from Duane Zablocki to score his 7th career 305 sprint
feature.
"Hats off to my crew, this thing was easy to drive. I had to run through the
mud on the bottom to cool my tires...I spun them pretty good and go them
hot," said Clark beside his Fremont Fence, Al Davis Carpeting, Crown Battery
backed sprint car. "I wasn't good in turns one and two and just had to hit
my marks."
Maffett took the lead from Mike Marteney on the fourth lap and survived a
late race altercation with a lapped machine while racing hard with Ryan
Missler for the late model win.
"I got down in the mud and pushed up into the lapped car and he hit
Missler...didn't mean for that to happen, but we were racing hard for the
win," said Maffett beside his Wright Choice Auto Sales, Fultz Fabrications
Estes Racing Engines backed late model. "This is a something I dreamed about
my whole life. It took dad just five years to get 30 wins and it took me
20."
Arnold held off several challenges from Dave Brewer to score his fifth
career dirt truck win at Attica Raceway Park.
"I just had to stay on the bottom and concentrate on driving my truck and
not worry about anyone else," said Arnold beside his Make-A-Wish Foundation,
Burns Electric, Air Cooled Engines backed truck.
At the drop of the green of the 30-lap 410 sprint feature, pole-sitter Jamie
Miller bolted into a big lead with Caleb Griffith, Reed and Mintz in tow.
Miller set a blistering pace and was into lapped traffic by the 7th circuit.
Disaster struck Miller on the ninth lap. As he raced into heavy lapped
traffic into turn one, he made contact with a car, flattening a tire and
sending pitside.
Reed pulled away on the restart while Griffith and Mintz battled for the
runner-up position. Mintz would take the second spot on lap 12 and ran the
cushion in Reed's tire tracks. The action would grind to a halt for a hard
Mark Keegan flip on lap 13. Keegan was okay but the car was done for the
night.
Reed could not shake Mintz on the restart as they pulled away from Griffith.
The yellow flew on lap 16 for a staled Brock Mayes who had moved from ninth
to fourth. The running order was Reed, Mintz, Griffith, Lee Jacobs and David
Harrison.
Reed would hit lapped traffic with just six laps remaining, allowing Mintz
to close as both Jacobs and Harrison got around Griffith. At the checkered,
Reed had just a two car length advantage over Mintz, with Jacobs, a
rebounding Griffith and Harrison rounding out the top five.
In the 25-lap 305 sprint feature, Clark grabbed the early lead from his
outside front row starting spot with Stuart Brubaker, Brad Haudenschild and
Duane Zablocki in tow. The first yellow would fly on lap five with Clark
leading over Brubaker, Zablocki, Haudenschild and Brad Keckler. During every
yellow, Clark would dive to the bottom to cool his tires.
The racing resumed with Clark leading Brubaker who was trying to hold off a
fast Zablocki when the caution would fly for fifth place running D.J. Foos
on lap 14, also collecting Keckler. Clark now had Zablocki on his rear
bumper.
Clark would fend off several challenges by Zablocki when the final caution
flew on lap 23 for Foos. Clark got a great restart to take the win with
Zablocki, Brubaker, Coty Runion and 16th starter Todd Heuerman rounding out
the top five.
In the 20-lap late model main, Mike Marteney grabbed the initial lead with
Maffett, Missler and Mike Stiltner in tow. Marteney would utilize the high
line while Maffett ran the bottom Maffett would driver under Marteney for
the lead on the fourth lap with the caution flying soon after.
On the restart Maffett was able to take advantage of the great battle for
second between Marteney, Ryan Missler, Stiltner and Ken Hahn, to pull away
slightly. Missler would move into second on the sixth lap and would race
side by side with Maffett the next 13 laps. Disaster would strike Missler
when Maffett went under a lapped machine, forcing it to move up exiting turn
two right into the side of Missler, ending his run.
Maffett would hold off Hahn the final two circuits for the win, with
Stiltner, Curtis Deisenroth and 16th starter Jeremy Canada rounding out the
top five.
In the 15-lap dirt truck main, outside front row starter Arnold grabbed the
initial lead with Dave Gibbs, Dave Brewer, Todd Keegan and Cory Ward in tow.
Brewer would move into second a lap later and began to race to the outside
of Arnold in a battle for the top spot. They would run that way all the way
to the checkered, with Arnold taking the win, Brewer, Steve Endicott, Bob
Dible and Art Ball rounding out the top five.
Attica Raceway Park will be back in action Friday, July 11, for Underground
Utilities Inc. Night. The $10 general admission gets fans in to see the
wheel-hiking action of the Service Drive Solutions UMP Attica Late Models
