Reed Wins Wild One at Attica, Shammo Continues Hot Streak, Bores Roars
Back in Attica Late Models, Arnold Wins Thrilling Truck Feature
 By
Brian Liskai
(Attica, OH) Byron Reed felt like he let a feature win get away
from him last week. He wasn't about to let it happen again Friday, out
dueling Rob Chaney and Greg Wilson to win his 18th career 410 sprint
feature at Attica Raceway Park on World Auto Parts of Huron & Cleveland
Night.
Millbury, Ohio's Andy Shammo continued his hot streak - he won a pair of
features last Saturday at Fremont Speedway - as he grabbed the lead with
just two laps remaining to claim his third career victory in the 305
sprints.
Bellevue, Ohio's Mike Bores passed his dad halfway through the Fultz
Fabrication & Speed Shop Attica Late Model's A-main - in his dad's
back-up car - and claimed his fourth career victory.
Tiffin, Ohio's Brian Arnold raced door to door with Steve Endicott the
entire 15 laps of the dirt truck feature before scoring his third career
checkered.
 In
the World Auto Parts of Huron/Cleveland 410 Sprint feature, Fremont's
Mike Linder grabbed the lead from his pole starting spot, but it was
short-lived, as fourth-starting Rob Chaney wheeled around Linder,
Brandon Martin and Byron Reed to grab the point on lap 4. Reed would
narrowly avert disaster on the fourth circuit as he and Mike Linder got
together in turn 3, with Reed bouncing off the inside tire barrier.
Chaney would continue to rim-ride in the lead with Reed moving into
second and ninth starter Greg Wilson sling-shoting into third by lap 8.
They continued in that order, while all eyes were on Castalia, Ohio's
Caleb Griffith. The B-main winner had steadily moved from his 17th
starting spot to 5th by lap 12. At the half-way mark of the 30-lap
feature, the running order was Chaney, Reed, Wilson, Linder and
Griffith.
 The
action really heated up with 10 circuits remaining, as Wilson, Chaney
and Reed would race three-wide for the lead down the back stretch, with
Wilson barely holding the top spot at the flag stand over Reed, Chaney
and now 14th starter Lee Jacobs. Reed would sweep by Wilson a lap later
exiting turn 2 to take the lead. The yellow would fly on lap 24 for
Wilson who exited with a flat right rear. He would come from the tail to
finish 7th.
Reed would hold off Chaney the remaining six laps for the victory, with
Jacobs finishing third, Griffith fourth and Linder battling back for
fifth.
"I felt like I let one get away from us last week," said Reed who lost
to Brock Mayes by less than at foot on May 4. "I wasn't going to let
that happen again."
"I changed my line a little in turn two and was able to get under Rob
(Chaney)," said Reed beside his Reebar Die Casting, Weld Wheel, Pro
Shock sponsored JEI chassis.
 In
the 305 A-Main, Green Springs, Ohio driver
Kevin Lee would jump into the lead from his outside pole
starting spot where moved when 2nd place starter Chad Wilson spun on the
initial start. Lee couldn't shake
Matt Ferrell, as the duo raced side by side until lap 10 when the action
would halt for a flip involving Bryan Sebetto and Chad Gullett (both
were alright, but were done for the night). As
Lee sat on the the front stretch, his right rear tire went
flat, sending him to the pits for repairs.
Ferrell would inherit the lead but he now had his hands full with Dustin
Dinan. Those two would race side by side until Dinan got the advantage
on lap 17, bringing along 11th place starter Andy Shammo who had quietly
moved through the field. Dinan would not budge from the bottom of the
track, forcing Shammo to the middle. However, Dinan would slip up ever
so slightly exiting turn 2 with just two laps remaining, allowing Shammo
to get under him and grab the top spot.
Shammo would take the checkered over Dinan, Ferrell, Bryan Scott and
Dustin Keegan.
"I've been around long enough to know when things are going this good
you just appreciate it because it can change just like that," said
Shammo beside his Village Inn/Fort Ball Pizza Palace sponsored #48. "I
have to thank Lamar and Yvone Burkin for putting me in this car and all
of our great sponsors like Matt Tille Enterprises and KS Sales and
Service, Roots Poultry, Adlers Transmissions, Advanced Speciality
Contractor, Lotycz & Sons Floor Covering, Kate an Al's
Restaurant...without all of their help we couldn't do this."
 Mike
Bores wasn't even going to race Friday night. He had nearly destroyed
his regular late model in a wicked crash the week before and it wasn't
back together. But he received encouragement from friends and family and
decided to take his dad up on his offer to drive his back-up car.
However, it was his dad, John Bores, who would grab the early lead in
the 20-lap feature, with Jim Fleming and Larry Kingseed - who already
has 2 wins this season - in tow. On lap four, Kingseed would spin to
make the running order John Bores, Fleming, Mike Bores and John Mayes
Sr. Mike would move around Fleming into the runner-up spot on lap six
and would pressure his day for the lead. Mike would slip under John on
lap 10 for the top spot.
While Mike cruised to a four car-length lead, John Bores, Fleming,
Mayes, Ken Hahn and 12th-starter Ryan Missler would wage a torrid
battle.
At the checkered Mike Bores took the win over John Bores, Mayes, Hahn
and Missler.
"My car was tore up pretty good and Pork Chop (Brandon Smith) worked his
tail off this week to try and get it ready...we just ran out of time. I
wasn't going to race, but dad and Brian Liskai talked me into getting
the back-up car out and here we are. That car is fast...I might have to
leave mine in the shop," said Bores beside his Wick's Bar, All Air
Heating & Cooling sponsored late model.
 The
dirt truck feature had some of the best racing of the night, as Brian
Arnold and Steve Endicott literally raced door to door the entire 15
laps. Arnold would lead one lap by a foot only to see Endicott take the
slight advantage at the flag stand the next lap. Arnold was able to
finally pull away by a truck length the last two laps for the win.
Endicott, Cory Ward, 12th-starter Art Ball and Shawn Valenti would round
out the top five.
"Steve raced me hard and we rubbed on each other the whole race. That
was a lot of fun," said Arnold beside his Burns Electric, Make-A-Wish,
Burns Iron & Metal, Air Cooled Engines #33 truck.
Attica Raceway Park will be back in action Friday, May 18, as Fisher
Performances Presents Scout Night with the 410 sprints, 305 sprints,
late models and dirt trucks in action. All Scouts - boys and girls - and
their pack leaders who wear their uniforms get in free.
