ATTICA, Ohio – St. Helena, California’s Rico Abreu and
Clute, Texas driver Aaron Reutzel put on a thrilling battle for the
$10,000 top prize Saturday, Sept. 5 at Attica Raceway Park. The last 15
laps of the 40 lap Ollie’s Bargain Outlet All Star Circuit of Champions
feature saw the pair trade sliders inches apart from catastrophe lap
after lap. When the checkers flew Abreu took his first ever Attica win
on All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Core & Main Night. It was his ninth
career All Star victory
and came on the 128th appearance of the All Stars at Attica Raceway
Park.
“That was so tricky…that’s as slick as it gets for Ohio
right there. You know you catch lapped cars and you judge your pace off
of theirs. Kemenah was gaining on me on the bottom in front of me and
the 11 car was driving away from me on the top. I was just trying to
move around. I knew Reutzel or someone was pressuring me… you know you
can kind off just sense that. I moved around and I was just way to free
on the bottom and I could keep my car really propped up on the top and
keep my wing speed up. That gets intense…40 laps and you have to really
be patient and know your car will keep coming to you. I kept moving my
wing back and it got really cleaned off on the top and I could keep my
pace up,” said Abreu beside Curb Records/Whistle Stop Bar and Grill/Selfmade
racing/Lucas Oil/ShopRico.com backed #24.
Reutzel, the current All Star point leader, threw
everything he could at Abreu but had to settle for a close second.
Though it was a huge boost from Friday night when he struggled to a 16th
place finish.
“That was all I had. I didn’t realize it was about to
end. I don’t know what more I could have done. I got to where I was
running the top really hard and he started getting tight. I was kind of
playing with the bottom and I was trying to show him I was down there
and make him move down and he did for a little bit but I didn’t
capitalize and get a good enough run at the time. Our car was really
good at the end. I felt like we were getting better and better. It was
just hard to get runs to slide him. There were lapped cars there all the
time. I had one good opportunity to slide him where I felt like I had a
good run on him. We had the 11 on inside of us and he raced me off in
the corner and I couldn’t get all the way to the bottom to slide him.
All in all it was a great race. I just needed to
capitalize sooner. I wish I wouldn’t have tried that slider on the last
lap. I wish I would have just bombed it in there and try to get a run
down the back stretch. It was a lot better run than last night. I
thought the track was phenomenal tonight,” said Reutzel beside his
Fischer Body Shop/Folkens Brothers Trucking/XXX Chassis/Nattress
Construction backed #87.
Attica point leader Cap Henry made a late race charge to
finish third.
“I hung the wing in the truck and just went for it. We
struggled there really early and we struggled last night. Zack and Brett
and Connor and everyone keeps working really hard on it. It’s been a
really fun season,” said Henry of his Dragon’s Milk White/Beer Barrel
Bourbon/Pro Auto Wraps/FK Rod Ends backed #4.
Fremont, Ohio’s Paul Weaver took the lead from Larry
Kingseed Jr. on lap eight and survived a late race caution to claim his
sixth 305 sprint feature win of the season at Attica. It was his third
straight victory at the track and the 55th of his career to lead the
all-time win list for the division. It was his 10th overall victory of
2020.
It wasn’t easy for Weaver as his arm restraint got hooked
on a piece of equipment in the cockpit and he had to drive one handed
for awhile.
“It took a lap and a half or so to get it unhooked….I
couldn’t move my arms. This is the most features in a season since my
second or third year racing when I had 14 or 15 wins. I’m happy to still
be able to do this,” said Weaver beside his B&B Drain Service/Hampshire
Racing Engines/M&L Excavating backed #1W.
Trey Jacobs and Abreu brought the field to green for the
All Star 40-lap feature with Jacobs gaining the early advantage over
Abreu, Cale Thomas, Reutzel and Tim Shaffer. After a lapped was scored a
multi-car incident in turn one brought out the yellow. When the green
flew again Jacobs and Abreu battled side by side with Shaffer and
Reutzel in pursuit.
Abreu was able to take the lead on lap five and began to
pull away slightly from Jacobs and Shaffer closed in. Jacobs didn’t
throw in the towel and steadily gained ground on Abreu and retook the
lead on lap 12 just as the caution flew. On the restart Abreu jumped to
the high side of the track and battled with Jacobs again, reclaiming the
lead on lap 14 as Shaffer and Reutzel went side by side for third.
Abreu built his lead to over two seconds by lap 22 as
Jacobs was locked in a battle for Reutzel with Ian Madsen, Shaffer and
Cap Henry trying to close. Reutzel was finally able to wrestle second
from Jacobs on lap 25 as Abreu encountered heavy lapped traffic. That
allowed Reutzel to close on Abreu and with 10 laps to go the battle was
on for the win.
Abreu was able to pull away slightly with seven laps to
go but Reutzel hung around as Jacobs was locked in a battle with Madsen
and Henry for third. After taking the white flag, Reutzel threw a slider
on Abreu as the pair nearly touched but Abreu kept his car on the ragged
edge of the narrow cushion to maintain the lead and drove to the win
over Reutzel, Henry, Madsen and Jacobs.
At the drop of the green for the 25 lap Fremont Fence 305
feature Larry Kingseed Jr. bolted into the lead over Weaver, Steve Rando,
Kyle Peters, Matt Lucius, Matt Foos and Jamie Miller. Kingseed built up
a commanding lead before the caution flew on lap five. On the restart
Weaver applied all kinds of pressure to the youngster and drove into the
lead on lap eight.
Weaver was able to pull away from Kingseed who now had
his hands full with Rando and Foos. Rando took the second spot with
seven laps to go and a caution with five circuits remaining put him
right on Weaver’s rear bumper. Weaver got an excellent restart and drove
away for the win as Kingseed rebounded to regain second. Kyle Peters
came on strong at the end to garner third with Rando and Foos rounding
out the top five.
Attica Raceway Park will wrap up the 2020 season with

Yarbrough
Takes Late Model Stock Win In Florence Reopening
TIMMONSVILLE, SC (September 4) – Shallotte, NC's Sam Yarbrough took the lead
with 56 laps to go and was never headed, taking the "Prelude To The Southern
500" 100-lap Late Model Stock car race Friday night at the newly re-opened
Florence Motor Speedway.
Ryan Glenski started
on the pole after running a fast lap of 17.881 seconds to claim the $100 NGI
Graphics pole award ti lead the field of Late Model Stocks to green in their
first start at Florence in over a decade. Glenski and
Jason York would trade the lead back-and-forth over of the opening laps
before Glenski finally assumed control on lap 7. The
first caution of the race waved on lap 13 when JJ June spun in turn three.
On the restart, York
would get the advantage over Glenski to move into the lead.
York led until lap 44 when Yarbrough took the top spot as the leaders
exited turn two. York soon retired from the race due
mechanical problems. Mechanical gremlins would continue
to affect the leaders with Glenski going off track in turn three eventually
ending his night. Then, new second-place runner Raj Caruth would fall by the
wayside with 17 laps to go as smoke trailed from his car.
Yarbrough went
unchallenged in the 2nd half of the race taking the win over Casey Kelley,
Perry Patino, Jamie Weatherford, and Gracie Trotter.
Cody Kelly led
flag-to-flag to win the Butler Roofing Company SuperTruck race, collecting
an additional $200 for the pole and $200 for leading at halfway.
Rounding out the top five were Adam McCumbee, Lucas Williams, Ben
Watford, and Jim Krakeel.
Former Florence
Motor Speedway track champion, Averitt Lucas, continued his winning ways at
the 4/10-mile track to score the Charger division win.
The best race of the night was for fourth between Corey Weatherford and Dale
Driggers, with the two trading paint on several occasions.
It finally came to a head with five laps to go when contact from
Driggers sent Weatherford spinning in turn two, ending both their nights.
Following Lucas at the checkered flag were Talon Gallimore, Archie
Adams, Archie Adams, Jr, and Chris Grainger.
Fans were treated to
a barnburner in the Carolina Mini Stock Challenge as Shane Canipe rallied to
take the win. Canipe relinquished second place on a lap
15 caution due to an oil leak. Canipe's team fixed the
issue but he would have to restart at the rear of the field.
Back under green, AJ Sanders would take the lead away from the fast
qualifier, Robert Strimska. Strimska the retook the lead
on lap 24, but three laps later, Sanders came charging back into the top
spot. All the while, Canipe had made his way back to
third and was closing in on the leaders. Coming to the white flag, Sanders
and Strimska touched in turn four, allowing Canipe to streak by for the win.
Sanders finished second in front of Strimska, Matt Briggs, and
Brandon Johnson.
The Vintage Cars
were also in action with Ricky Locklair, Jr. taking the Modified win, Allen
Kelly was the winner in Vintage Cup, and Clint Coker took the win for
6-Cylinders.
The next
scheduled event at Florence Motor Speedway will be on Saturday night,
October 17th and will be followed by the South Carolina 400 weekends on
November 13-14 and 20-21. Be sure to “Like” Florence

Zack Brown inherits first Carteret County Speedway victory after Brenton
Irving disqualified
PELETIER, NC – U.S. Legends Cars and INEX International has
released its findings after conducting field tests on tires from the
top-three finishers of the August 22, 2020 Legends feature at Bobby Watson’s
Carteret County Speedway and, after inspection, Zack Brown has inherited the
victory in the race.
Tires were taken from Brenton Irving, Zack Brown and Aaron Crumpler and sent
to U.S. Legend Cars and INEX International for further inspection. The tire
belonging to Irving failed inspection, being found in violation of the tread
depth rule. As a result, Irving has been disqualified from the August 22nd
race. The tires belonging to Brown and Crumpler passed the field tests, and
those two drivers move to first and second on the official results for the
August 22nd race respectively.
The win is Brown’s first at Carteret County Speedway. He is the third
consecutive first time Carteret Legends winner and the third different
winner in three races in 2020 – joining Jaiden Reyna and Chase Singletary as
race winners this season.
The Legends division will be back in action on Sunday, September 6th as a
part of the Bobby Watson Memorial Celebration.

Brenton Irving – DQ
Duff Makes The First One Count
By BZ
(Macon, IL) Jaret Duff has not been racing at Macon Speedway
for very long but his support group collectively has been for quite some
time. His family, the Huffmans, Butch Garner, all have helped steer him in
the right direction. Saturday night, Duff steered himself into the winner's
circle at Macon Speedway for the first time.
Nick Macklin was the first pole sitter for the 15-lap
Archer's Alley Street Stock feature but was pushed off the track with
troubles and the favorite to win was off the track at the beginning. By the
next restart, Zach Clark and Matthew Yaden, both who scored their first
checkered flags in their respective heat races, got the front row starting
assignment with Guy Taylor and Duff in the second row. The green flag flew
and Clark got the early lead. Charging strong off the inside was Rudy
Zaragoza as he battled his way to the front of the order. Zaragoza would
take the lead away from Clark at the halfway point and rode the bottom while
Duff started to hook up strongly at the top of the 1/5th mile dirt oval.
Duff stuck to his top groove and would take the lead away
from Zaragoza with three laps remaining. A caution flag came out with the
green flag in the air as the two-to-go signal was flying and the race was
halted. As the restart came, Duff powered his way ahead and finished ahead
of the group for his first feature win of his career.
The BillingsleyRewards.com Modifieds witnessed another
first-time winner as B.J. Deal got into victory lane. Deal started on the
pole position but didn't blast away for the win. He had to battle for the
20-lap victory. As he stayed true to the bottom groove, Brian Diveley gave
it all he had on the top of the track, even taking the lead as the
side-by-side racing circled around the track. As the race continued during
the green flag conditions, the bottom continued to work solidly for Deal who
would grace victory lane for the first time this season.
In the Pro Modifieds class, Billy Knebel scored his fifth win
of the year as he went into a side-by-side tilt with Kyle Helmick. The
action carried and continued for many laps and as the checkered flag came
into the air, Knebel was scored across the line first while Helmick had a
slip up in the fourth turn that led to cars slowing down and getting
crunched into each other.
The USAC/IMRA Midgets came to Macon Speedway for the first
time this season and Brownsburg, Indiana driver Bryan Stanfill found his way
to the checkered flag. The action was much like expected when the midgets
are racing, it was all over the place. The start of the race saw James
Picardi flip on the backstretch. The Mapleton racer would not get to be
scored a lap and his night finished on the back of the tow truck. Cody
Gerdes was the early race leader and Stanfill made his pass for the lead
quickly during the race's early stages.
Jake Little scored his fourth feature win in the Pro Late
Models Saturday night. Little got ahead of Chuck Mitchell at the beginning
and then was off to the lead and the win just 20 laps later.
Brady Reed did it again. Started last and won in the Hornets.
His fifth checkered flag, and third in a row, has helped stretch his points
lead with just a month remaining in the 2020 season.
Macon Speedway thanks Skeff Distributing for their
sponsorship of the night's racing action. The action continues next Saturday
with a full night of seventh divisions and a CEFCU Kids Club event. The Pro
Late Models, BillingsleyRewards.com Modifieds, Sportsman, Archer's Alley
Street Stocks, Pro Modifieds, Micro Sprints Presented by Bailey Chassis and
Hornets are all scheduled to race during the Labor Day weekend.

By Brian Liskai
ATTICA, Ohio – It had been since February 2019 since Tim
Shaffer stood in victory lane with the Ollie’s Bargain Outlet All Star
Circuit of Champions Presented by Mobil 1. The Aliquippa, Pa. driver – a
four time series champion – ended that drought Friday, Sept. 4 at Attica
Raceway Park, opening the Attica Ambush with his 67th career All Star win,
leading all 40 laps.
The victory was the second on the season at Attica for
Shaffer and the 19th of his career at “Ohio’s Finest Racing” speed plant on
Murphy Tractor and Equipment/Stillwater Metals/Core & Main Presented by
Kistler Racing Products/Kistler Engines Night. Shaffer’s victory aboard the
Brian Grove Racing #28 came on the 127th appearance of the All Stars at
Attica Raceway Park.
“It’s been awhile…I haven’t run with them (All Stars) steady.
But, we’re building a team. We can only run a limited schedule and boy we
have to make it worthwhile when we do. Hats off to my guys, Rider Engines,
RPM Chassis, Momentum Shocks…just everybody stepped up and here we are,”
said Shaffer beside his Canton Erectors/Rudzik Excavating backed machine.
Shaffer, who pays very close attention to the shock packages
on the sprint car he drives, said that is the key to winning.
“You have to pay attention to the shocks. These kids are
getting harder and harder to beat so we have to get our car really nice.
Actually I have one of Keith (Berner) shocks on the right front and the
other three are Momentum. They are just all working together. I got some
stuff from Keith for my late model too. It’s all about enjoying yourself and
this is about making a living and the late model is for playing,” Shaffer
added.
Shaffer had to survive a restart with five laps to go and
made a change in his racing line, moving to the high side.
“You have to move around. This is Attica and if you don’t
move around you’re going to get your ass handed to you. It definitely
changes throughout the night and I just hoped I was doing the right things,”
the winner added.
Bixby, Oklahoma’s Shane Stewart gave Shaffer all he could
handle late in the race but settled for second in the Indy Race Parts #71.
“We haven’t raced that much together Bernie and I but every
time we do this car is fast. I started to fade a little the last 10 laps, I
think we were running out of fuel. Hopefully we can make some adjustments
and contend again tomorrow,” said Stewart of his Jonestown KOA/Capital
Renegade/Indy Race Parts backed machine.
Fairland, Indiana’s Cale Thomas made a late race charge to
round out the podium in the Pete Grove Racing #70.
“I feel back to about 10th at the beginning and I just had to
remember this is the Attica I grew up learning to race on from about five or
six years ago. I moved the wing back and was able to race the middle of the
track,” said Thomas of his Lumber and Things/River City Wood/Lutes Custom
Cabinetry, Premier Pallet backed sprint car.
Bellevue, Ohio’s Mike Bores took the lead on lap 18 of the
Dirt Nerds Podcast/Propane.com Late Model A-main and withstood a caution
with just six laps to go to win his first feature of the season and taking
home the $3,000 payday. It was Bores sixth career win at Attica.
“I was nervous when I saw that 79 car (Doug Drown) up to
third on that last restart. I was counting the laps down and thought ‘hear
comes hammer down Doug Drown.’ I want to thank my wife and little boy, my
crew, Noah, Frank, Nick, Brent, Burns Electric, Underground Utilities,
Accuforce, Clements Racing Engines and Roeder Racing,”
said Bores in victory lane.
Cale Conley and Jac Haudenschild brought the field to green
for the 40-lap All Star feature but the initial start was called back and
Conley was moved back a row for jumping. When the green flew again Shaffer
bolted into the lead with Haudenschild, Conley, Trey Jacobs, eighth starter
Shane Stewart and Cory Eliason giving chase. While Haudenschild hounded
Shaffer, Conley and Stewart battled side by side over several laps for
third.
A caution with 11 laps in kept Shaffer out of lapped traffic
and he again pulled away when the green reappeared while Haudenschild and
Stewart battled for second. Stewart took the runner-up spot on lap 18 just
before a caution flew at the half-way point.
On the ensuing restart Stewart drove to Shaffer’s outside to
challenge but Shaffer hit his marks and began to pull away again, building
his lead to nearly a second and half with 14 laps to go. With 10 circuits
remaining heavy lapped traffic faced Shaffer with Stewart, Haudenschild,
Conley, Eliason and Thomas staying close. At one point Conley, Eliason and
Thomas were three wide battling for fourth.
The final caution flew with five laps to go when Conley and
Eliason made contact battling for fifth with Eliason stopping with heavy
front end damage. When the green flew Shaffer moved his restart marks to the
high side of one and two and it paid off as he drove away for the win over
Stewart, Thomas, Conley, Paul McMahan and the night’s hard charger Rico
Abreu who charged from 23rd to sixth. Haudenschild, Ian Madsen, Cole Duncan
and TJ Michael, who came from last, rounded out the top 10.
Defending Attica late model champion Doug Drown and Jerry
Bowersock led the field to green for the 30 lap late feature with Drown
grabbing a commanding lead over Rob Anderzack, Bowersock, Dave Hornikel,
Devin Shiels and Matt Irey.
Irey worked his way up to second on lap 11 and was closing on
Drown when the leader got tangled up with a lapped car and spun. Irey now
led Anderzack, Bores, Hornikel and Ryan Missler. Just as Irey was pulling
away something broke and he went to the pits, handing the lead to Bores who
took second just a half lap earlier.
Bores pulled away on the restart as Anderzack had to deal
with Bowersock and Hornikel with Missler, Shiels and Markham in pursuit.
With eight laps to go the car on the move was Drown who had worked his way
from the tail up to fourth.
A final caution with six laps to go put Anderzack, Bowersock,
Drown and Missler right on Bores’ rear bumper. Bores got an excellent
restart while Drown blasted into second and started to close on the leader.
Bores made no mistakes the final hand full of laps to score the win over
Drown, Markham, Anderzack and Bowersock.
Attica Raceway Park will be back in action Saturday, Sept. 5
on Core & Main/All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads Presented by Kistler Racing
Products/Kistler Engines Night. The All Stars will be gunning for $10,000
while the Fremont Fence 305 Sprints will battle for a $1,000 pay day.

ATTICA, Ohio – Travis Philo blasted from
sixth to third on the opening lap of the 410 A-main Saturday, Aug. 29 at
Attica Raceway Park, then hounded Cale Conley for several laps before
driving into the lead on lap 18 and drove away to his sixth career
victory at “Ohio’s Finest Racing” speedplant.
“This whole year has kind of been crazy.
I want to thank John Bores and Rex LeJeune and everyone at Attica and
all the fans…it’s been a difficult year for all of us but we appreciate
you for coming out here and supporting us so we can keep doing what we
love,” said Philo beside his Control Design Solutions, Tire Slick,
Integrity Auto Sales, Banshee Graphics, Shop Supply Services, Columbus
Equipment, Bohmer Rentals, Classic Ink USA, Berryman Racing Shocks,
Sprint Fun Photos, Smith Titanium, Kistler Engines, Kistler Racing
Products backed 5T.
“Tonight was the only night I was pissed
drawing a six for the redraw. I knew we were going to be good where ever
we started. I knew we would come right through there…it came sooner than
I thought. I can’t thank my guys enough…my dad, Jim Robey, Josh
LaCombe..we have a really good car rolling now so hopefully this is good
momentum for next week with the All Stars,” he added.
Fremont, Ohio’s Paul Weaver took the
lead on lap 8 and only a late race caution kept him from dominating the
Fremont Fence 305 Sprints A-main. That yellow flag with just two laps to
go didn’t phase the three time Attica track champion as he took his
fifth win of the year at Attica and the 54th of his career in the
division.
“It’s an ’09 car…it’s been around
awhile. The tubes are different in the back. When I get it right this
thing just drives forward. I have to thank Bob Hampshire…we have to have
a motor to pull this thing and this is the third different motor this
season…I’ve won with three different motors,” said Weaver beside his B&B
Drain Services, Hampshire Racing Engines, M&L Excavating, Seagate
Sandblasting, Weaver Performance backed #1W.
After a lengthy delay following an
opening lap crash that resulted in a driver being taken to the hospital
complaining of neck pain, Shawn Valenti held off a late race charge from
Jamie Miller to claim his second dirt truck feature win in a row. It was
Valenti’s 20th career truck win at Attica.
“I looked up at the board and saw the 4M
(Miller) was behind me and I wasn’t quite sure what to do on the restart
and Jamie stuck his nose under me and made a race of it and made me get
back on it. I want to thank A Plus Auto Center for putting up some extra
cash, Roelle Fabrication, Scott’s Property Management, Craig Miller
Trucking, Best Performance Motorsports, KS Sales & Service, Gressman
Powersports, Dave Story Equipment and Speedways Bar and Grill for all
their support,” said Valenti.
Cole Macedo and John Ivy brought the
field to green for the 30-lap Callie’s Performance Products 410 Sprint
feature with Ivy gaining the advantage over Cale Conley, Philo and
Macedo. After a lap was complete the steering broke on Macedo’s machine
as he spun in turn three with Max Stambaugh also spinning.
On the restart Conley drove around Ivy
for the lead as Philo also pressured Ivy for second, taking the
runner-up spot on lap three. Conley and Philo raced side by side for
several laps. When the leaders hit lapped traffic on lap 13 Conley got
hung up and Philo raced to his inside and took the lead a hand full of
laps later.
Philo began to pull away from Conley as
Nate Dussel moved into third with Ivy and Stuart Brubaker giving chase.
The second and final caution flew on lap 23 but Philo raced to a
fantastic restart and pulled away the final seven circuits for the win
over Conley, Dussel, Ivy and DJ Foos.
Larry Kingseed Jr. jumped into a
commanding lead at the drop of the green for the 25 lap Fremont Fence
305 A-main over Matt Foos, Weaver, Kasey Ziebold, Kody Brewer, Jamie
Miller and Justin Lusk. Weaver moved into second on lap three and began
to close the gap on Kingseed.
Weaver drove under Kingseed to take the
lead on lap 11 as they raced into heavy lapped traffic with Foos and
Miller battling for third and Ziebold and Brewer battling for fifth.
Kingseed brought out the caution on lap 13 but Weaver was just too
strong on the restart and once again pulled away over Foos, Miller,
Ziebold and Brewer.
The final caution with just two laps to
go gave the field one last shot at Weaver but again he raced away on an
excellent restart to take the win over Foos, Miller, a charging Mike
Keegan and Ziebold.
Following a multi-truck crash at the
beginning of the dirt truck A-main, Jamie Miller jumped into the early
lead over Jeff Babcock, Valenti, Brandon Stuckey, Brad Stuckey, Keith
Sorg and Dan Hennig. Miller, Babcock and Valenti pulled away and waged a
terrific battle for the lead with Valenti taking the top spot on lap
three.
Valenti pulled away as Miller, Babcock
and Steve Sabo raced hard for the runner-up spot. A caution with five
laps to go put Miller right on Valenti’s rear bumper and when the green
flew Miller charged to Valenti’s inside. Another caution a lap later and
Valenti moved to the bottom of the track on the restart and was able to
pull away from Miller with Sabo, Babcock and Brad Stuckey rounding out
the top five.
