FREMONT, Ohio - Call it the Bellevue,
Ohio connection. Cap Henry and Mike
Bores took their first checkered flags at
Fremont Speedway Saturday on
Hillside Billiards and Underground
Utilities Inc. Night. Henry's win came in
the Fremont Federal Credit Union 305
Sprints while Bores' victory was in the
ARP Late Models. Defending Fremont
Speedway track champion Cory Ward - whose
crew chief, his father, Jim Ward lives in
Bellevue - took the checkers in
the Fremont Fence Dirt Truck feature.
Henry first had the lead, then lost it
and then regained it with just three
laps remaining to get his first career
victory at "The Track That Action
Built.
"I found that low groove right before
the red (on lap 11) and knew I had
something," said Henry in the Engine Pro
Victory Lane. "But, Brad (Keckler)
took off on that restart and with five to
go I was thinking second wouldn't
be all that bad."
"This makes up for all the bad luck
we've had here this year," added Henry
beside his G-Force Racing Gear, J&H
Concrete, HMS Speedway backed #04.
Bores led all 20 laps in the late
model main, but had a close call with
lapped traffic the last couple of laps.
"When I got into lapped traffic I kept
telling myself 'oh boy...don't spin
out.' I've never won at Fremont...this is
awesome," said Bores who received
an extra $100 from Smith Auto Recycling.
"Starting up front helped...I just had
to make sure I didn't screw up and
hit the cushion just right," added Bores
beside his York Fabrication, UUI
backed late model.
Ward took the lead on lap 10 when
early leader Dave Gibbs had to go pitside
with a flat tire. Then he held off late
race challenges by Jimmy McGrath to
get his 9th win at the historic speedway.
"After that last yellow I moved down
just a smidge hoping it would work out
and it did," said Ward in the Engine Pro
Victory Lane beside his Budweiser,
Excuses Lounge, Lakeshore Drywall backed
truck. "I realized after 18
laps...I'm gettin kind of fat," he joked.
In the 25-lap 305 sprint main, Henry
bolted into the early lead with Brad
Keckler, Shawn Valenti and Steve Rando in
tow. Keckler would drive under
Henry for the lead when the teen bobbled
ever so slightly in turn four.
Keckler benefited with a yellow flag on
lap 11 just as he was going to get
into heavy lapped traffic.
Keckler pulled away on the restart
with Henry comfortably in second, with
eighth place starter
Kevin Lee moving into third. The action would
grind to
a halt a lap latter when Dustin Dinan got
together with Rando and flipped
into turn one.Once again on the restart,
Keckler pulled away while Henry and
Lee
followed in his tire tracks and Brad Bowman, Valenti and Stuart Brubaker
putting on a heck of a show for fourth.
With five laps to go, Henry began to
reel Keckler in. The pair raced side by
side the next two laps before Henry drove
under Keckler exiting turn two for
the lead. Following Henry across the
finish line were Keckler, Lee, Brubaker
and Nate Dussel.
In the 20-lap late model main, Bores
jumped into the lead from his pole
starting spot with John Mayes Jr. and
Ernie Haynes following in his tire
tracks. Bores hit lapped traffic by lap
13, allowing Mayes to close on his
rear bumper. Mayes would look under Bores
several times but could not pull
off the pass. Bores had several close
calls with traffic the last three
laps, but hung on for the win with Mayes,
Haynes, Larry Kingseed and Ken
Hahn rounding out the top five.
In the 20-lap dirt truck feature, Dave
Gibbs grabbed the early lead with
Kent Brewer, Art Ball and Cory Ward
battling hard behind. Ward would move
into the second spot on lap four, but
could not chase down Gibbs. When the
yellow flew on lap 9 for Loren Schwochow
and Dave Brewer, Gibbs exiting the
track with a flat tire.
Ward wasted no time building up a lead
over Ball and Jim McGrath Jr. The
action behind Ward was hot and heavy
between McGrath, Ball, Dwight
Waltermeier, Jim McGrath Sr. and Andy
Maynard. McGrath Jr. would move into
second on lap 12 and would dive under
Ward nearly every lap but could not
pull off the pass.
At the checkers it was Ward over
McGrath Jr., Ball, Waltermeier and Steve
Sabo who came from deep in the pack.
Fremont Speedway will be back in
action Saturday, June 7 when Ronald
McDonald pays a visit. The Fort Ball
Pizza Palace 410 Sprints; Fremont
Federal Credit Union 305 Sprints; and
Fremont Fence Dirt Trucks will be on
the racing card.
