Andrews opens Ohio racing season with 410 Attica win; Miller
gets late model victory; Hoffbauer Claims 305
Win
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ATTICA, Ohio - There were several cautions - what you might expect on
opening night - but once the action got going, the racing at Attica Raceway
Park on Friday, March 27, was exciting. Sandusky, Ohio's Chris Andrews
scored his first 410 sprint win while Whitehouse, Ohio's Matt Miller took
the Fultz Fabrications and Speed Shop UMP late model victory.
McCutchenville, Ohio's Travis Hoffbauer tangled with Zack Kramer exiting
turn four on the last lap with Kramer ending up on his lid and Hoffbauer
taking the win in the Fremont Fence 305 Sprints.
There were 34 of the 410 sprints, 32 UMP late models and 30 305 sprints
signed into Attica's pits on Columbus Equipment Night to kick off Ohio's
racing season.
Andrews, behind the wheel of his Lucas Oil, K&N Filters #15c, used a lap 14
restart to dive under Greg Wilson to take the lead. After several early race
cautions, the race would go the last 16 laps under green with Wilson closing
on Andrews in lapped traffic with nine laps remaining. In the closing laps,
defending Attica champion Byron Reed would make it a three-car battle for
the lead.
Andrews would use the high side to perfection to take the victory with
Wilson, Reed, Mark Keegan and Brock Mayes rounding out the top five.
"I knew I had to make a move on that restart... if I didn't do it then, I
knew I wouldn't get around Greg Wilson," said Andrews, the 2007 national 410
winged sprint car rookie of the year. "This is so great to get that first
win with my new sponsors Lucas Oil and K&N Filters."
"I got a little concerned when we got into lapped traffic because Greg and
Byron are so good at that and I'm still learning. But, the car was just so
good...my crew did a fantastic job...I just had to hit the cushion and stay
on the gas," said Andrews.
The Fultz Fabrications and Speed Shop UMP Late Model feature also got off to
a shaky start with three yellows before a lap could be completed. Wayne
Maffett would lead the first 11 laps before Wayne Chinn would steal the top
spot, bringing Miller into second and Steve Casebolt into third. A lap
later, Casebolt would take second, but Miller would return the favor on lap
15. Following a pair of cautions, Chinn and Miller would race side-by-side -
often making slight contact - the next two circuits. On the next caution,
Chinn went low to block Miller in turn one on the restart and Miller drove
by on the outside to take the lead. He would take the checkered ahead of
Casebolt, Chinn, Maffett and Jon Henry.
"I kind of set Wayne up. He was racing in my line and I couldn't get around
him. So, I stuck my nose under him on the bottom and he drove down there on
that restart to block and that opened up my groove," said Miller of his
third career Attica victory. "I have to thank McCullough racing, M&W Auto
Body, Gressman Powersports and Banshee Graphics and everyone on this car. I
also want to thank my family and crew for all their support and hard work."
The Fremont Fence 305 sprint feature also started with several cautions,
with Josh Muntz grabbing the early lead while Bobby Clark, his nephew Zack
Kramer and Brad Bowman battled for second. Kramer would move into second on
lap 10 and chased down Muntz by lap 14. Muntz and Kramer would race side by
side until Kramer executed a slide job for the lead exiting turn two on lap
16. Hoffbauer, who fell back a little at the start, was starting to come on,
moving into third by lap 12 and into second on lap 17. Muntz brought out the
final caution on lap 20 when he tagged the front stretch wall while running
third. Kramer and Hoffbauer were putting on an exciting show as they traded
slide jobs the last five laps, with Kramer better in turns one and two and
Hoffbauer using the bottom to his advantage in three and four. On the last
lap, Hoffbauer got a run on Kramer in turn three and exiting turn four, made
contact with the leader, sending him upside down. Behind Hoffbauer at the
finish was Clark, 12th place starter Dustin Dinan, 14th starter Paul Weaver
and defending track champion Stuart Brubaker.
"We were racing each other hard for the win. I thought I had him cleared on
the last lap, but apparently I didn't. I'm sorry it ended that way," said
Hoffbauer of his first career Attica victory beside his Spanky's Pizza, Jim
Gucker Attorney, Hoffbauer Construction #82.
Attica Raceway Park will be back in action Friday, April 3 for Merrill Lynch
Night with the 410 sprints, Fultz Fabrications and Speed Shop UMP Late
Models and Fremont Fence Dirt Trucks. There is a raindate of Saturday, April
4.
Coming to Attica Friday and Saturday, April 10 and 11, the HD Supply Spring
Nationals featuring the O'Reilly All Star Circuit of Champions. NASCAR
Sprint Cup star Kasey Kahne has said he will be behind the wheel of a sprint
car at Attica both nights.
