Andrews gets 3rd Attica win; Missler nabs 3rd
late model win; Foos gets 305 win
By Brian Liskai
(Attica, OH) ATTICA, Ohio - The #3
was lucky for Sandusky, Ohio's Chris Andrews, Bellevue, Ohio's Ryan Missler, and
Fremont, Ohio's D.J. Foos Friday on Edward Jones of Clyde/Mike Neill Financial
Advisor Night at Attica Raceway Park. Andrews used another mid-race restart to
grab the lead in the 410 sprint feature and went on to record his third victory.
Missler held off several challenges from Jon Henry to score his third late
model win. Foos led every lap of the 305 sprint feature to record his third
career victory.
With threatening weather - even some sprinkles of rain during the feature events
- Attica got great cooperation from the race teams and pushed the entire show
through in just over two hours. It was appropriate that it was a FAST (Kistler
Racing Products Fremont Attica Sprint Title) night as well.
Andrews, much like his first two wins of the season at Attica, used a restart on
lap 12 to drive around the outside of Brock Mayes to take the lead. Utilizing
the very top of the track, Andrews had to hold off a hard charging Caleb
Griffith to take the victory and move into second in the track's point standings
behind five time and defending champion Byron Reed.
"I don't know if everyone just gets complacent on restarts or what, but I
blasted in there on the cushion and it treated us very well tonight," said
Andrews beside his K&N Filters, Lucas Oil, Goofy Golf, Blue Chip Machine and
Tool, Adkins Sanitation backed #15c. "I don't know if it was the rain or what,
but the car got tight there at the end...it was a handful. My hats off to this
crew, they continue to work hard and give me an awesome race car."
Missler had to withstand several challenges from Henry and Rusty Schlenk on
restarts, and a couple of very close calls with lapped machines - one of which
damage the body on his J&H Concrete, Missler Industries Machine Shop, Gordon
Lumber backed late model - before claiming the Fultz Fabrications and Speed Shop
UMP Late Model victory.
"I thought for sure we were going to crash a couple of times with lapped cars. I
don't know if they were in my way or I just couldn't get around them, but thank
God for those cautions," said Missler beside his TAZE D.J. Service, Hawk's Auto
Reconditioning Shop, York Fabrication, Terry McConnell Excavating backed late
model.
Foos was the class of the field in the Fremont Fence 305 Sprints feature, only
having to pull away on two restarts to secure his first win of the 2009 season.
It was a bit of redemption for Foos, who tangled with Paul Weaver a week earlier
while battling for the lead, damaging his R&R Auto Wrecking, Burger King backed
sprint car.
"This has been an emotional week...a very tough year. We've torn up some
equipment, but I have to thank Rich Farmer, he kept sticking with us. I have to
thank my dad (Dave) and Guy Meyers for all their help tonight," said Foos beside
his Town Money Saver, Level Performance, Schiets Motorsports, Pit Stop Carryout
backed #11F.
Brian Lay led the field of 410 sprints to the green to start the 30-lap feature,
with Andrews and Brock Mayes battling for second. Lay, in his second year of
dirt racing, pulled away while Mayes grabbed second on lap 12 with Andrews, Cole
Duncan and Caleb Griffith waging a torrid battle for third. Lay's great run came
to an end on lap three as he slid off the cushion in turn four and spun, handing
the lead to Mayes with Griffith in second and Andrews third. Mayes would
continue to lead with Griffith and Andrews racing side-by-side for second with
Mike Linder moving into fourth ahead of Duncan.
Just as Mayes hit lapped traffic on lap 13, the caution would fly for a Danny
Holtgraver spin. Andrews, who had grabbed second from Griffith on lap 8, used
the ensuing restart to drive to Mayes' outside and into the lead. Andrews would
begin to pull away until encountering lapped traffic on lap 18, allowing Mayes
and Griffith to close while Linder, and 12th place starter Byron Reed, Duncan
and Craig Mintz raced hard for fourth.
With a light drizzle falling, the action slowed for back-to-back Jody Keegan
spins on laps 19 and 20. On the final restart, Griffith would drive under Mayes
into second while Andrews pulled away. But, with five laps remaining, Andrews
car began to give him fits, allowing Griffith to close. Andrews would hang on
for the win with Griffith, Mayes, Mintz and Linder rounding out the top five.
Mintz's finish, coupled with Byron Reed's sixth place run helped Mintz increase
his lead in the Kistler Racing Products FAST Championship Series with just three
races remaining.
Missler would bolt into the lead of the late model main with Henry, Ken Hahn,
Jeremy Canada and Rusty Schlenk right on his rear bumper. The second of eight
cautions would slow the action on laps five and six, slowing the pace and
keeping the field bunched up. Missler would hit lapped traffic by lap 10,
allowing Henry and now third place runner Schlenk to close. Hahn's top five run
would end on lap 11 when he tangled with a lap machine and spun. A lap later and
another caution, allowing for Henry to test Missler on the bottom, but each time
Missler would fight off the challenge.
Missler escaped near disaster on Lap 15 when he tangled with Mark Pollack as he
attempted to put him a lap down. On the ensuing restart, Henry would race
side-by-side with Missler for the lead with Schlenk making it three wide at
times. Three laps later and Missler escaped again as Bobby Michaels spun in
front of the leaders. Again on the restart Henry would challenge. Just as
Missler seemed to be on cruise control, the final caution would fly on lap 21,
once again bunching up the field with Missler leading over Henry, Schlenk, Wayne
Maffett Jr. and 15th place starter Dusty Moore.
Missler was able to get a great run on the restart and used the clear track to
race to the checkered flag with Henry, Schlenk, Maffett and Moore
rounding out the top five.
Foos would use the high line to pull away at the start of the 305 sprint feature
while Dustin Stroup battling Zack Kramer and Paul Weaver for second. Kramer
would slide into second on lap six as Foos set a blistering pace out front.
Stroup would fight back to take second a lap later as he and Kramer traded the
position over the next several laps. Foos would hit lapped traffic by lap 10,
but got a break and a clear track when the caution would fly on lap 11.
A lap later, the final caution would fly with Foos leading Kramer, Stroup, Paul
Weaver and 16th place starter Josh Muntz. Again, Foos set a quick pace,
encountering lapped traffic by lap 17. All eyes were on Muntz, who moved into
third on lap 16 and began pressuring Kramer for second. As Foos picked his way
through traffic, Muntz would steal second on lap 22.
As Foos flew to the checkered, Muntz's great run would end as he tangled with a
lapped machine exiting turn four on the final lap, handing second
back to Kramer as Weaver, Bobby Clark and Jimmy Colvin would round out the top
five.
Attica Raceway Park will not have racing on Aug. 14, and will close out the 2009
season with three weeks of Saturday night racing on Aug. 22, Aug. 29 and Sept.
