FREMONT, Ohio – The last time Aaron Reutzel stood in victory lane at Fremont Speedway it was after he conquered a heavy rough track in 2019. On Sunday, Reutzel mastered a slick Fremont Speedway to earn his 32nd career win with the Ollie’s Bargain Outlet All Star Circuit of Champions Presented by Mobil 1 for the third night of the Cometic Gasket Ohio Sprint Speedweek to take the speedweek point lead.
Reutzel’s second career Fremont win didn’t come easy as he had to battle with Lee Jacobs the first half of the race. A caution with 12 laps to go wiped out a big lead for Reutzel but he had little problem when the green flew again and drove to the victory over Paul McMahan, Jacobs, Saturday’s winner Buddy Kofoid and Cale Conley.
“After that red I didn’t feel that good…I felt really good before the red. I don’t know if when we put fuel back in it if it upset the balance or what. I think I needed to move the wing back forward. I didn’t want to because I had a tough time getting it back for some reason. It’s pretty cool to win on a race track like this. The last time we were here it was rough and heavy, kind of more my style. This is as slick as it gets right here. Anything we had in our notebook we couldn’t look at. We basically had to do what the non-wing guys have to do because the wing wasn’t working very well. It was pretty cool to win on a track like this. I can’t say enough about this team, we seem to adapt to anything,” said Reutzel beside his Fischer Body Shop/Folkens Brothers Trucking/Dissolvalloy/Nattress Construction backed machine.
“We had a little mishap in the dash last night and tore it up pretty good. We just barely got it back out for the feature. We can’t thank BITCH Slapped and Tony Beaber enough for everything he does for our race team. He delivered a front pan arm bar early this morning….I think he was up to 2 a.m. fixing another car and building some stuff for us to weld in today,” added Reutzel.
Paul Weaver dominated the Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint feature, leading all 25 laps for a $1,750 payday thanks to Madison Motors. It was Weaver’s second win of the year at Fremont and the 53rd of his career at the track, placing him eighth on the all-time win list.
“It helped to start up front but when you see Jamie Miller coming up through there you can’t relax,” said Weaver beside his B&B Drain Services/Hampshire Engines/ M&L Excavating/Seagate Sandblasting backed #1w.
McMahan jumped into the lead at the drop of the green for the 35-lap All Star A-main with Lee Jacobs, Reutzel and Cale Conley in pursuit. Jacobs drove into the lead on lap 2 while McMahan and Reutzel battled for second. Following a caution with just four laps in, Jacobs got an excellent restart and maintained the lead with Reutzel taking second.
Reutzel began to close on Jacobs and the duo raced side by side for the lead by lap 10 and continued that battle over the next hand full of laps as they prepared to race into heavy lapped traffic. Reutzel finally took the lead on lap 16 and began to pull away but a caution on lap 18. Put Jacobs and McMahan right on the leader’s rear bumper. When the green flew so did Reutzel as McMahan drove into second.
A caution on lap 23 turned into a red as the ambulance was needed in the pits. When racing action resumed Reutzel was able to pull away from McMahan with Jacobs, Conley and Kofoid in pursuit. Conley and Kofoid waged an entertaining battle over the next few laps for fourth as Reutzel, McMahan and Jacobs settled into their respective spots.
Reutzel caught the back of the pack with just four laps to go but his patience paid off as he drove to the victory.
For Weaver, there was only one close call in the 305 A when he and a lapped car tangled with the lapper spinning to a stop for the only caution of the race. At times Weaver’s lead was over four seconds. However, the action behind him was fun to watch as Seth Schneider, Alvin Roepke and Jamie Miller battled.
When the checkers flew Weaver held a commanding advantage as Miller got around Roepke late for second, Schneider and Kyle Capodice rounded out the top five.

Macon Speedway Celebrates America & Checkered Flags
By BZ
(Macon, IL) Fireworks lit up the sky in Macon, Illinois on Saturday night and on the ground, mud and dirt were flying as 116 race cars thrilled a packed house at the World's Fastest 1/5th mile dirt oval. On America's birthday, it was hot, humid and full of amazing finishes with its special 40-lap double features for the Pro Late Models and the BillingsleyRewards.com Modifieds as part of the 95Q & Dynagraphics Firecracker 40s.
Jose Parga took the checkered flag in the Pro Late Models 40-lapper. The driver from New Berlin came on strong as the race reached its midpoint as racing teammate Dakota Ewing controlled the race from the beginning. Jake Little battled from the bottom but was unable to wrestle the lead away. With five laps remaining, Parga soared to the top and snatched the lead away and found victory lane. Cody Maguire, who finished fourth, started last after having a broken car during the heat race and charged to the front.
A caution-plagued BillingsleyRewards.com Modified feature saw Kenny Wallace, NASCAR driver and Macon Speedway co-owner, come to victory lane. Trusting the bottom of the track, Wallace took the lead from Guy Taylor midway through the race. With Wallace in the lead, Rick Conoyer gathered momentum and speed at the top of the track and would take the lead from Wallace on lap 33. With the laps closing in to the finish, Wallace rubbed against Conoyer's tire and caused it to flatten and pull him from the race. Wallace finished ahead of the pack and announced an apology to Conoyer for the contact during the winner's circle interview.
Terry Reed got past Bobby Beiler to finish off a checkered flag in the Archer's Alley Street Stock division. Beiler was showing signs of difficulty with the racecar as his front left wheel would not turn normally and it slowed him down and Reed got through with the pass at the end of the race as the white flag was waving.
An exciting and unexpected finish awaited the winner of the Pro Modified class. Kevin Crowder and Billy Knebel started the 20 cars to the green and stayed close through the laps. Contact would often happen between the two cars and it would lead to both not being able to finish the race from the front two spots in the lineup. The lead would be surrendered by both to the third place driver, Ryan Hamilton from Indianapolis, Indiana. But Hamilton would fall victim to a flat tire and need to come off the track. The lead would then go to Kyle Helmick, a second-year driver from Smithton. Helmick, who finished in the top 10 during his freshman year on the circuit, would pull away for his first feature win in a young and promising career.
Macon Speedway welcomed the Midgets to the fun of July 4th. Normally, the Midgets would be at the track while associated with the POWRi Racing Series but on this occasion, they were not part of a sanctioning body and just raced for the sake of racing. And Jake Neuman, a regular to Macon Speedway when the POWRi series does come to town, rushed to the top of the track and led for all 25 laps despite constant challenges from fellow front row starter Mitchell Davis.
The evening and the holiday was capped off with a 10-lap Hornet feature with veteran Joe Reed coming out with the victory. Reed, quick on the track, pulled ahead of Erik VanApeldoorn and Billy Mason for the lead and would enjoy the speed to lead him to victory.
Action was halted after the third feature with three remaining so fans could be delighted with a fireworks display that many have unfortunately missed this summer due to cancellations of summer activities due to COVID-19. With the last two weeks of the season taken away by rain, the second night of Macon Speedway stock car racing was very much a welcome addition to a long lost summer. Macon Speedway continues its schedule next Saturday night with another 40-lap feature event, this time for the Sportsman division, as the Fireman's Ball & First Responders Night will be at the track. Pro Late Models, BillingsleyRewards.com Modifieds, Sportsman, Archer's Alley Street Stocks, Micro Sprints and Hornets will be part of the action.

ATTICA, Ohio – Cap Henry defended home turf Friday at Attica Raceway Park. The Republic, Ohio driver regained the lead on lap 35 and drove to his third win of the season at “Ohio’s Finest Racing” speed plant, defeating the invading Ollie’s Bargain Outlet All Star Circuit of Champions to open the Cometic Gasket Ohio Sprint Speedweek Presented by Hercules Tires.
It was Henry’s eighth career win at Attica and his second All Star victory coming on the 126th appearance of the series at the track on Ohio CAT/Baumann Auto Group/Ohio Laborers Night.
“I was really nervous leading on that restart (on lap 20). Wasn’t really sure what I was doing before hand was right. I knew them guys were real good. Buddy (Kofoid) got by and kind of pulled me a little bit and we kind of kept creeping in and creeping in. Traffic was so hard to pass…you couldn’t find any where to get around them. I had to wait with Buddy and when I got next to him I had to go. I couldn’t give him the opportunity to take my line away,” said Henry beside his Dragon’s Milk White/Beer Barrel Bourbon/Pro Auto Wraps/FK Rod Ends backed machine.
So far this season at Attica, Henry has three wins, a third and a ninth place finish to lead the track points. He picked up an extra $1,000 from the track for defeating the All Stars.
“Brett and Patty Lane gave me a great opportunity here and we continue to make the most of it. Zack (Meyers) came on board last year and this is incredible. I’ve come so close to winning one of these speedweek races here and to finally knock one off is so cool,” said the former All Star rookie of the year.
Defending All Star champion Aaron Reutzel jumped out to the early lead of the 40-lap feature with Buddy Kofoid and fifth starter Henry staying close. Henry took second on lap three and began to close on Reutzel as the leaders raced into heavy lapped traffic by lap 10.
Henry took the lead with a low move on lap 12 with Reutzel now having his hands full with Kofoid while Cale Thomas stayed within striking distance. Kofoid was able to wrestle the runner-up spot away on lap 15 and closed on Henry. The only caution fell on lap 20 when a lapped car spun right in front of the battle for second involving Kofoid, Thomas and Reutzel. Thomas made contact but kept going.
On the restart Kofoid made his move, driving into the lead. The California native began to pull away but with eight laps to go, Henry started to close the gap. Henry was able to sneak the nose of his car under Kofoid on lap 35 to take the lead. Henry was patient with the lapped cars, never pushing the issue the final five laps to score the win over Kofoid, Reutzel, Thomas and Cale Conley.
Britton, Michigan’s Devin Shiels, Attica’s 2017 late model champion, hung around the top five throughout the first 13 laps of the Propane.com/Dirt Nerds Podcast late model feature before making his move to take the lead. A caution with three laps to go and another with just one lap remaining gave Jon Henry a couple of shots at Shiels but he was too strong on the bottom of the track and scored his seventh career Attica win.
“I wish I’d have flipped my nose under that tractor tire and got it off the track sooner to stay green. I want to thank my dad and son and Denny for coming down and helping us every week here. Dirt Nerds Pod Cast, Rally’s Hamburgers, Dundee Products, Magic Fountain Auto Wash and Mini Storage…thanks. And all the guys that help us, Denny, Braden to my dad…everybody,” said Shiels.
Attica Raceway Park will be back in action Friday, July 10 with the late models, 305 sprints and dirt trucks in action.

Lynn, Johnson, Eskew, & Vanapeldoorn Claim Holiday Wins At Lincoln Speedway
(Lincoln, IL) For the fourth night in a row, Lincoln Speedway was back at it for racing action at Logan County Fairgrounds. The July 3rd event featured not only racing but fireworks as well and neither disappointed.
The open competition Midgets were on hand for the first time in 2020. Drivers from six different states were represented, with Emerson Axsom of Franklin, IN leading the first six laps. On lap seven, St. Peters, MO driver Sam Johnson moved into the top spot to pace the field in the 20-lap event. The three car battle at the front of the field also included Central Illinois driver, Jake Neuman. The last ten laps of the race went without a caution flag and Johnson raced to the victory. Axsom, Neuman, Mitchell Davis, and Kyle Simon completed the top five.
The show of the night arguably came in the 20-lap DIRTcar Modified feature event. 22 drivers lined up for the start, as another stellar field was on hand. Brian Diveley, former Big Ten Super Late Model champion, raced into the lead at the start but action was hot and heavy on his heels. By the end of lap two, Ray Bollinger, who had won the previous two features, took over the top spot. Bollinger was followed by Donovan Lodge and Diveley through the early stages of the race before Austin Lynn started his trek to the front. Lynn moved into third shortly before halfway and took over second right at the halfway mark. From that point on, it was a side-by-side battle for the holiday trophy. Bollinger ran the top, while Lynn ran the bottom for the final ten laps of the race, with Bollinger’s momentum keeping him slightly ahead. That is, until the final corner of the final lap when Lynn was able to clear him and come across the stripe as the winner. Following the Mason City, IL driver were Bollinger, Lodge, Brian Lynn, and Diveley.
The Pro Late Model race was another thriller, as 25 were pitside to start the night. 20 cars made it to the feature event with some of the best in DIRTcar Pro Late competition on hand. Dakota Ewing took the early lead, while Brandon Eskew took over on lap two. Eskew led until lap seven when Ewing took the top spot back. Ewing looked to be on his way to victory until a lap 17 caution bunched the field up for a final shootout. Ewing led lap 18 before Eskew got by on the bottomside. Ewing jumped the turn two cushion moments later, ending his chances as Eskew was followed by Jose Parga, Jake Little, Ewing, and Blaze Burwell at the line.
One of the largest DIRTcar Hornet fields in recent memory was on hand as 28 cars were in the pits. The field was narrowed down to 20 after the heats and b-main. A three car breakaway ensued with Erik Vanapeldoorn, Brady Reed, and Dallas Strauch out front. Vanapeldoorn led the points coming into the night but hadn’t claimed a feature victory. That changed, however, as the Clinton, IL driver raced to the checkered just ahead of his two challengers. Reed and Strauch were followed by David Lauritson and Nick Johnson.
The highly exciting race program was followed by an impressive firework display, lighting the night sky.
Racing will continue on Friday night, July 10 at Lincoln Speedway as Pro Late Models, Modifieds, Street Stocks, Nutech Seed DII Midgets, and Hornets will be in action. Those who attended the July 3 program are asked to turn their wristbands in on July 10 for $3 off general admission, as a gift for attending back-to-back weeks.
Pit gates will open at 3:00, grandstands at 5:00, pill draw will end at 5:50, hotlaps begin at 6:00, and racing will begin at 7:00. Grandstand admission will be $15 while kids 11 and under are free.
