FREMONT, Ohio – There’s no place like home for Cap Henry. The Bellevue, Ohio native spent a lot of years on the road racing sprint cars, including several weeks in the Midwest this year. He returned home a couple of weeks ago and hooked up with the Lane Racing team and it paid off Saturday at Fremont Speedway. Henry took the lead on lap 17 and drove to his fourth career win at “The Track That Action Built” pocketing $5,000 thanks to Crown Battery.
Henry started 10th in the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprint feature and steadily worked his way to the front. A tremendous battle involving Stuart Brubaker, Chris Andrews and Henry ensued as the leaders raced into heavy lapped traffic by lap 11. Henry drove around Brubaker for the lead exiting turn two to lead lap 17. It wasn’t easy for Henry as he encountered heavy lapped traffic with eight laps to go allowing Brubaker to close. Henry navigated through the traffic to earn the win.
“I can’t say enough about this Lane family. They didn’t know who I was two weeks ago. Man I knew this thing was pretty good early. I caught those guys in traffic and just didn’t want to screw it up. Hats off to Rich (Farmer, Fremont Speedway Promoter) and the whole crew. The track was awesome. I could run any where on the race track. This J&J was awesome. It’s good to be in victory lane and even better to be home,” said Henry beside his Metropolitan Landscaping, Kistler Engines backed #4.
Gibsonburg’s Nate Dussel survived a close call with a lapped car and led all 25 laps to claim his second feature win in as many weeks at Fremont Speedway. Last week he scored his first ever 360ci sprint win and this week the track’s Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint 2016 champion scored his first win in that division, taking home $1,000 thanks to Crown Battery.
“Considering how bad I fouled it up last week in this car, stepping on it running second, I owed this to my dad and everyone on this team to get the #1 car back in victory lane,” said Dussel beside his Berrier Custom Fabrication; Al Davis Carpet; Industrial Movers; Gressman Powersports; Box 7; Real Geese; Wurtec; Design Graphics Group; Kistler Racing Products backed machine.
The victory is Dussel’s 23rd overall at the track, putting him in a tie with Bryan Sebetto and Jim Fleming for 23rd on the all time win list.
“I’ve said it before I sat in those stands as a little kid thinking maybe some day I can sit on this front stretch at least once let alone 23 times,” Dussel commented.
Wayne, Ohio’s John Brooks has racked up 5 runner-up finishes in the McCullough Industries 602 Late Models at Fremont Speedway in 2017. Brooks, the track’s defending division champion, finally broke into victory lane Saturday, taking the lead on lap six and driving to his sixth career win
“The track was smoother and it didn’t wear me out…I didn’t fall out of the seat,” said Brooks beside his Snack Time Vending; Foster Auto Repair; Brian Foster backed #00.
“Chester (Fitch) and Ky (Harper) give me a run for my money every week. It seems if I can beat one I can’t beat the other. This feels good…I was wondering where this place was,” Brooks said referring to the Engine Pro Victory Lane. “I want to thank my wife, Chris my crew chief, a friend of mine, Jim, came out to help us.”
A few years ago Fremont, Ohio’s Brad Mitten suffered a severe head injury. Through hard work and determination he came back to racing and it all paid off Saturday as he grabbed the lead from Shawn Valenti – who has five wins on the season – on a restart with just four laps to go and drove to his first career Burmeister Trophy Dirt Truck feature win at “The Track That Action Built.”
“I was faster in one and two than he (Valenti) was but he would come back on me in three and four. I thought he was going to come back around but I stuck with it and after 12 years I finally won,” said Mitten beside his Centec Cast Metal Products; Premier Planning Services; Borer Mirror & Glass; Shellukes Bar and Grill; SPS Distributing; B&R Powder Coasting backed #23m.
Jody Keegan and Todd Heller brought the 410 feature to green with Heller gaining the advantage over Chris Andrews, Keegan, Brubaker, Broc Martin and D.J. Foos. Keegan, who took home $1,000 for winning the Alex Burkett Memorial Pursuit earlier in the night, jumped back into second on lap two and immediately challenged Heller for the lead. Heller and Keegan would tangle on lap three, handing the lead to Brubaker.
Brubaker pulled away slightly on the restart from Andrews, Henry, Foos, Trey Jacobs, Valenti, Byron Reed and Tyler Gunn. The leaders raced into heavy lapped traffic by the 11th circuit and it was a three car battle for the lead involving Brubaker, Andrews and Henry. Henry sliced into second on lap 12 and battled with Brubaker and the lapped cars over the next five laps before driving under Brubaker exiting turn four on lap 17.
Henry pulled away from Brubaker, Andrews, Reed, Jacobs, Foos and Gunn until encountering more heavy traffic with eight laps remaining. Brubaker quickly closed and with three laps remaining was right on Henry’s rear bumper. Henry was able to negotiate through the traffic and drove to the win over Brubaker, Andrews, Reed and Jacobs.
Last week’s winner Steve Rando and Dussel paced the field for the 25 lap 305 sprint feature with Dussel gaining the advantage at the drop of the green. Paul Weaver moved into second on lap two and the battle began for the lead. Dussel and Weaver nose to tail over the next five laps before the caution flew just as they were racing into lapped traffic. After two green flag laps Rando’s run at the front came to an end with mechanical issues. On the restart Dussel led Weaver, Bobby Clark, Alvin Roepke, Matt Foos and John Ivy (from 17th).
Clark would spin on lap 10, collecting Ivy. When the green flew the battle between Dussel and Weaver continued with Roepke, Foos, Brandon Moore, and Jamie Miller giving chase. With 10 laps to go Dussel and Weaver were battling as they caught the rear of the field. Kevin Mingus would spin right in front of them. Dussel avoided the incident but Weaver spun to avoid heavy contact, sending him to the tail.
When the green flew Dussel pulled away from Roepke, Moore, Kyle Capodice, Foos and Dustin Stroup. As he worked his way back to the front, Weaver clipped Chase Dunham on lap 18 with Dunham laying his car on its side. Again when the green returned Dussel pulled away from Roepke with Moore and Foos battling for third. Dussel easily drove to the win over Roepke, Moore, Foos and Weaver.
In the 15 lap late model feature, Dustin Keegan and Ky Harper brought the field to green with Harper taking the lead over Brooks, Chester Fitch, Keegan and Kyle Dukeshire. Fitch spun while challenging for the lead on lap four. On the restart Brooks pressured Harper and drove into the lead on lap six just before the caution would fly. A pair of cautions over the next two laps kept the field close.
Once the green flew again on lap eight, Brooks began to pull away from Harper, Fitch and Keegan. Brooks drove to the win over Harper, Fitch, Keegan and Jay King.
The 20 lap dirt truck feature went green with Eric Devanna and Brad Stuckey on the front row. Cautions marred the first seven laps of the feature, thought he battle up front involving Devanna, Stuckey, Shawn Valenti and Dustin Keegan was quite entertaining. Valenti grabbed the lead on lap seven and began to pull away as Keegan, Devanna and Stuckey put on a show for second.
Mitten was finally able to take the runner-up position on lap 14 just before the caution flew wiping out Valenti’s big lead. When the green reappeared Mitten drove under Valenti to take the lead. Mitten hit his marks perfectly and drove to the win over Valenti, Keegan, Keith Sorg and Devanna.
Fremont Speedway will be back in action Saturday, July 22 on Miller Rigging/Mac & Bob’s Service Garage Night with the 410 and 305 sprints, trucks and late models in action on Family Fun Night.

HAMLIN SPEEDWAY NEWS
Posted by: | CommentsHamlin, PA - Seven Drivers Share Victory Circle In Exciting Hamlin Speedway Racing Action
By: Steve Pados, GA Motorsports Media
The "once again rain before it begins" theme has seemingly provided the backdrop for an evening of speed presented by Hamlin Speedway Promoters Randy and Denise Smith on Saturday nights in 2017. Nevertheless, when there is a will, there is a way and the extra work on the facility had the speedway primed and ready for the stars of the speedway to ignite the large crowd on hand. The evening ran off very well until a frightening crash during the 600 Sprint feature slowed the action for more than an hour. More than one hundred and ten talented race car drivers came to Hamlin on Saturday to ply their trade and when the final curtain came down it would be two newcomers plus some familiar names at the speedway rising to the top of the heap in the coveted Victory Circle.
"The Nickel Man" Joel Smith captured his fourth Hampton RV And Trailer Sales Stage One Modified win in 2017. Mike Taylor scored his second win of the season in the Super Slinger finale topping a very strong and returning John Gilroy. "The Sandman" Troy Langendoerfer romped to his second win of the season in the All Star Slingshot main event. JD Casazza scored his first ever Hamlin Speedway win with a baseline run in the 600 Sprint main. "The Fearless One" Kyle Ferrucci scored his second win of the season in the Wingless 270 Sprint main. Paul Richards Jr earned his second win of the season in the JPA Masonry Rookie 600 Sprint main. "Junior Excitement" JJ Rice muscled his way to his first ever Hamlin win in the Junior Slingshot finale.
Trackside driver introductions spotlighted the JPA Masonry Rookie 600 Sprint main event before the start of the event. Local talent Noah Zielinski blasted into the lead at the start of the event and he showed his tailpipes to everyone for the first five laps. Paul Richards Jr stayed close and moved around Zielinski on lap six. Once in front, Richards went on cruise control as he stepped away from the field. Clicking off lap times in the 12.4 second range, Richards raced to his second win of the season with Zielinski a solid second, Tony Parlanti third, Zack Weisenfluh fourth and Dakota Barlet rebounding back to nail down fifth. Heading up the second five were Carmen Leggio Sr, Joe Nemeth, Macy Litchauer, Joey Amantea and Ryan Lacoe.
The Hampton RV & Trailer Sales Stage One Modified feature began with Cody Motto grabbing up the lead at the drop of the green flag. Motto would lead through the first eight laps when Joel Smith found the open seam on the raceway and would drive past Motto to assume command of the event. Cole Stangle would move past Motto into second place and reel off some quick laps to narrow the the gap but this was a night for Joel Smith as he claimed his fourth win of the season. Stangle was second with Motto third in a great run. Anthony Recchio and Michael Samony would complete the top five. The second five was headed up by Pat VanVarick, Joel Price, Jeff Hineline, Bill Dianella and Josh Marcus in the second Motto Motorsports car.
Dale Kober left nothing to chance as he jumped out front at the start of the Super Slinger feature. Kober would hold the field at bay through the first eleven laps until his muffler fell onto the track. Mike Taylor inherited the lead and would drive to his second win of the season despite the very stiff challenge from the returning John Gilroy. Wes Hearn was third followed by the returning Greg Zellman, Jeff Haduck, Dale Kober and Roger Collins.The wingless warriors of the 270 Sprint division moved onto the speedway for their feature attraction. The resurgent Alex Reinsmith took off at the drop of the green flag and would through eight laps. On the restart Reinsmith bobbled and Kyle Ferrucci became the new leader. Glenn Macomber tried to track down Ferrucci but Ferrucci prevailed in punching his ticket for his second win of the season. Glenn Macomber enjoyed a solid run to earn runner-up honors with the returning Prince girls, Sydney and Mallory finishing third and fourth with the returning Paul Richards Sr fifth and Reinsmith sixth.
The "stars of tomorrow" in the Junior Slingshot division continued to put on another great show as New Yorker Tyler Banks would lead through the early laps of the event. John Kendall and Adam Buchel stayed close but the pair got together and both would be forced to restart from the back of the pack. On the restart, Banks would lead but he couldn't shake JJ Rice who was beginning to put some pressure on Banks. Lap thirteen provided the winning pass as Rice utilized a combination of hustle and muscle to pull up alongside of Banks and maneuver his car into the lead. Rice would lead the final laps to claim his first ever win at the speedway. Tanner VanDoren raced hard to claim runner-up honors and Banks finished third. Shelby McLaughlin was fourth and Tommy Stillo rounded out the top five. The second five was headed up by Abby Yates, with Jake Mason, John Kendall, Adam Buchel and Joey Kalafut following.
The headliner for the All Star Slingshots found a great field of Slingshot drivers duking it out on the Hamlin Speedway real estate. The early going found Troy Langendoerfer blasting out of the starting blocks to lead the event but a few skirmishes along the way would slow the pace a bit. Each restart found Langendoerfer establishing himself at the point with a tremendous dogfight behind him working to break loose. The first to do so was Amanda Buchel who ran her best event since joining the ranks at Hamlin. This night, however belonged to Langendoerfer as his 13.08 times kept him out front and he cruised to his second win of the season. Buchel was the runner-up with Mike Taylor, Mike McLaughlin and Tanner VanDoren completing the top five. The second five found Dale Kober, Jared Silfee, Josh Marcus, Cody Kline and Tyler Peet following.
JD Casazza seized command at the start of the 600 Sprint main headliner and zipped off some 12.396 second laps to lead the way as he baselined his way around the oval. Duane White was following and behind a solid group of drivers were trying to make their mark in the evening. On lap seven all hell broke loose as Justin Mills was hit and a series of high flying flips occurred with Mills then being hit by Jacob Balliet who had no place to go. A long silence prevailed over the speedway as the ERT and Ambulance crews did their job to keep Mills stable. He was taken to the Scranton Hospital and I am very happy to report as I write this Press Release as I have been in contact with the Mills Family and Justin has a broken clavicle and many bumps and bruises from the scary ordeal. Jacob Balliet is suffering from a swollen knee but otherwise will be fine.
On the restart, Casazza resumed his lead and he just kept hitting his marks with ease while Mick D'Agostino drove into the runner-up role. D'Agostino mounted the challenge and while he did pull close, Casazza had enough gas pedal to hold him off and go on for his first ever win at the speedway. D'Agostino enjoyed another excellent run at the speedway in second while Damon Paul, Colin White and Chad Sandt would complete the top five. Brandon Azzalina, Joel Smith, Joseph Smith, Geordan Marrero and Zac Azzalina would complete the top ten.
PEARL JAMS:
Randy Smith and crew worked overtime again to keep the speedway in great shape and the work they do provides for all of the feature events being classic stuff in racing channels. A short rain shower halted the racing action for a few minutes.
Heat race action found Tess Horvath, Mike Taylor and Troy Langendoerfer nailing down wins in the All Star Slingshots. JD Casazza, Damon Paul and Mick D'Agostino were victorious in the 600 Sprint heats. Joel Smith and Anthony Recchio claimed victories in the Stage One Modifieds. The Super Slinger heat was won by Mike Taylor. Alex Reinsmith emerged victorious in the 270 Sprint heat event.
Some new names were added to the Hamlin roster list last evening with the Prince girls, Sydney and Mallory returning to the speedway to do battle in the 270 Sprints. Josh Bewley from Reading, Pennsylvania made his first ever start in the Rookie 600 Sprint ranks while returning to action included Chloe Andreas, Dakota Bartlet, Aidan Borden and Billy Koch. New faces for the Stage One Modifieds included Kevin Truszkowski John Bachetti, Josh Marcus and the returning Evan Civick. Greg Zellman and John Gilroy returned to action in the Super slingers. Dylan Martin and Tim Bauer were back in the 600 Sprints.
When the opportunity arises, it is great to go trackside and introduce the drivers to the fans. Announcer Steve Pados introduced the drivers and the crowd joined in to give the 19 starters a great send off.
Giselle Perrotta won the 50/50 on Saturday.
The hard charger in last week's Firecracker 100 was Mike McLaughlin and he earned the prize posted by Vogel Designs.
The totals for the VetStock event found the speedway raising in excess of $2,700.00. Thanks once again to all of those who participated.

The Hamlin Speedway Is The "Pearl" Of The Poconos
Official Statement regarding Incident on 7/8/17: Wingless 600 Sprint Accident:
The incident occurred in the Wingless 600 Sprint division when Justin Mills flipped his wingless 600 and was hit by another competitor while in the air with nowhere to go. Justin has been checked out at hospital and has a broken collar bone, concussion, and a lot of bruising but will recover 100%. This incident-caused injuries were minimized due to the Halo Bar installed in Justin’s car. If he did not have this safety bar in place - his head would have been hit directly. And because of this incident and what we have learned – Hamlin Speedway will now REQUIRE all wingless cars to have a “Halo Bar” installed to compete at Hamlin Speedway. This could have been a severe life changing accident for Justin. But it isn’t and he will recover, thank goodness ❤.

CHUCK SCHUTZ TAKES HOME MORE THAN $2000 AS WINNER OF FIRECRACKER 40 LATE MODEL RACE AT GRANDVIEW, WHITMOYER GETS SECOND WIN OF THE SEASON WITH NASCAR SPORTSMAN, MIKE GULAR GETS FIRST 2017 TP TRAILERS 358 MODIFIED WIN AND BRAD GRIM COMES HOME FIRST IN SECOND SPORTSMAN FEATURE. BRETT PETERS WINS VINTAGE FEATURE
BECHTELSVILLE, PA. July 9, 2017 Fans that attended the racing action on Saturday night at Grandview Speedway certainly got their money’s worth. All feature events had side-by-side, three to four wide action throughout their respective shows that produced two repeat winners, two season first winners that included a first career win.
The highlight of the night was the Firecracker 40-lap BRC NASCAR Late Model feature that was won by defending point champion and current point leader Chuck Schutz for a payday worth in excess $2,000. Schutz, who last won the event in 2010, dedicated the win to long-time supporter Carl Knauer who passed away. It was a long race commented Schutz in victory lane and he’s glad he could conserve his tires and that they held up in the battles with runner-up Ron Kline, who last won the race in 2011.
The 30-lap T.P. Trailers 358 NASCAR Modified feature wasn’t decided until the drop of the checkered. Brett Kressley appeared to be on his way to another win, but coming in for the checkered he had to go high to get around lapped traffic. It was all Mike Gular, who has been knocking on the door of victory lane for several weeks, needed. Gular took advantage of the situation and dove underneath Kressley and it was a drag race to the finish line, but Gular parked the Rich Stankewicz-owned No. 2 in victory lane for the first time this year ending a six-year winless drought.
In the 25-lap NASCAR Sportsman make-up feature rained out June 24, Craig Whitmoyer overtook the lead from Ryan Higgs on the 12th lap and was able to hold off the late race challenges of second-place finisher Brad Grim to chalk up his second win of the season.
Brad Grim finished one spot higher in the second Sportsman feature. He overtook Jack Butler on the 16th lap and proceeded to put the Mike Stringer-owned No. 23 in the winner’s circle for his first career win at the 1/3-mile banked clay oval.
All the regular feature event winners received monetary awards from T.P. Trailers and Truck Equipment and product certificates from VP Fuels providing they met all the mandatory requirements.
There have now been 22 different feature winners this season at Grandview in the NASCAR sanctioned divisions of racing.
Brett Peters won the Modified portion of the Blast From The Past 15-lap feature while Andy Cassel copped the Vintage Car section since all divisions were combined for their feature.
Brian Shuey led five laps of the Late Model feature before Kyle Merkel charged to the front of the pack on the sixth lap restart needed when Drew Weiss spun along the homestretch.
Within a few laps behind Merkel dueling for second were Schutz and Kline trailed by Bryon Sipe and Danny Snyder, winner of the event in 2012 and 2013.
Earlier leader Shuey, who was gradually falling off the pace, brought out the yellow on the 14th lap when he stopped in turn four with a right rear flat.
Merkel maintained his position when action resumed, but now Kline was second challenging for first.
After a while Merkel had a slight edge built up due to the fact that Kline and Schutz had their own battle going.
Schutz put the Ty Zeigler-owned/PPB No. ONE in second and set off after Merkel.
The lead changed on the 27h lap as Merkel hopped the fourth turn cushion and almost hit the boilerplate. By the time he corrected the mishap Schutz was past him and quickly out-distanced himself and was running away from his fellow competitors.
Numerous restarts were needed, but that didn’t deter Schutz and he went on to score another Firecracker 40 win and his second win of the season. Chasing him across were Kline, Snyder, Merkel and Sipe.
Mike Kellner grabbed the early lead in the Modified feature and set the pace for eight laps before he spun in the fourth turn. Kressley jumped the cushion, hit the wall, but was able to avoid the spun car of Kellner to become the new leader. John Willman, who was third at the time, wasn’t as fortunate and got involved in the mishap putting him out of contention along with Kellner. On the restart Kressley held on to the lead with Kyle Borror, Addison Meitzler, Kenny Gilmore and Ryan Grim in pursuit.
Gilmore, who battled with Borror for second several laps, finally broke free on the 14th lap and took chase Kressley who encountered lap traffic and had to thread his way through.
Coming through to the front of the pack from his 12th starting grid was Gular. He advanced to third with ten to go and was on the move.
Kressley was still ahead with three laps to go, but now Gular was second and charging with a full head of steam and lap traffic was in the picture.
Coming in for the checkered Kressley had to go up on the track to get around the cars, as did the others. Gular dove down low for the drag race finish and Gular emerged a well-deserved crowd-pleasing winner. Kressley crossed the line second, however after tech was placed last due to a fuel issue. Second was awarded to Gilmore, for his best finish of the season followed by Duane Howard, coming off a Tuesday night win; Frank Cozze and Kyle Borror.
Kellner, Meitzler and Kressley won the heats. The consi was won by Ray Swinehart.
In the make-up 25-lap Sportsman feature, left from a previous rained out event, Derrick Smith set the pace for one lap before Ryan Shupp took over.
Shupp’s lead was short-lived as Ryan Higgs got by him on the third lap restart brought out by a ten-car fourth turn melee. Whitmoyer followed through as the same time to challenge.
The lead changed on lap 12 when Whitmoyer motored into first and Grim overtook second to begin the battle.
Whitmoyer stuck to the high line and Grim ran the bottom in their side-by-side battle.
Whitmoyer thought he was running out of gas because he felt he was losing power, but he still hung on for the win followed by Grim, current point leader Brian Hirthler, Jim Housworth and Butler.
The June 24 qualifying event show winners were Grim, Higgs and Butler while Hirthler scored the consi win.
Once the rained out feature was completed, qualifying events were held. Brad Arnold, Paul Houseknecht and Ryan Lilick won the heats. The consi winner was Louden Reimert.
In the second Sportsman feature polesitter Shupp grabbed the early lead and held that spot for 11 laps before Butler took control. No sooner did butler pass Shupp going into the first turn, Joe Funk III, in third, made contact with Shupp and Shupp spun. Funk III was sent to the back of the pack for the mishap.
Lined up behind Butler on the restart were Grim, Kyle Lilick, Mike Lisowski and Mark Kemmerer.
The lead changed on the 16th lap when Grim succeeded to get past Butler and immediately began opening some daylight.
Grim, who felt the car ran better on the dryer track, never looked back and went on to chalk up a well-earned win. Second went to Butler for his best run, followed by Lisowski, Housworth and Ryan Beltz.
The Blast From The Past feature saw Todd Lapp lead the first lap and Mike Kelly lead the second through fifth until the caution came out for a first turn spin. On the restart Brett Peters took over first and never surrendered the position to take the checkered in the event in the Modified class. Doug Stepanchule was second with Andy Cassel third in the Vintage division trailed by Mike Garris Sr. and Todd Lapp.
Two TP Trailers NASCAR 358 Modified features along with Sportsman and BRC Late Model racing will be the attraction on Saturday, July 15th at 7:30 p.m. The night of action packed NASCAR stock car racing will be sponsored by A.D. Moyer Lumber Co.

Madman Madsen Makes a Madcap Run at Cedar Lake Speedway
NEW RICHMOND, WI - July 7, 2017 - Night One of the FVP Platinum Battery Showdown at Cedar Lake Speedway went to former Outlaw and current Australian Sprintcar champion, Kerry "The Madman" Madsen, who swept all but the Craftsman Club Dash and led 38 laps of the 40-lap Feature behind the wheel of the Big Game Motorsports 2M. Brad Sweet and Donny Schatz followed him through the checkers after a heated battle with several exchanges.
While Madsen set Quicktime during Qualifying and won his Heat race, It was Jac "The Wild Child" Haudenschild who won the Craftsman Club Dash on his return to the Stenhouse Jr./Wood Racing No. 17 machine after a three-race medical absence resulting from an injury at Beaver Dam Raceway. It was starting to look like "Jac is Back" would be the headline for the night, but Haudenschild lost steam all the way through the Feature, coming in at 13 after getting lapped by Madsen in the final two laps.
Meanwhile, Greg Wilson was playing the same game in reverse. Having started in 15, Wilson charged his W20 to tenth in the first five laps, battled with Ian Madsen for the next 14 laps, charged to fifth on a restart, and got past David Gravel with seven laps to go to come in fourth right on Schatz's tail.
Having started the Feature in second behind the Wild Child, and having won his share of races at the high-banked 3/8-mile oval, the eighth-time defending champion surprised the crowd with his third-place finish.
The Tony Stewart/Curb-Agajanian Racing driver suffered a bit of a mishap on his first lap around as he scraped his right rear tire along the wall of the backstretch after getting into K. Madsen, causing a flurry of sparks as Madsen passed him. And Sweet came at him from fifth, passing him just a couple laps later in the first of numerous exchanges between the the the two No. 15 Arctic Cat and the No. 49 Napa Auto Parts machines.
Meanwhile, Madsen was strengthening his lead and looked nearly unbeatable until Jason Johnson went into the wall outside of turn two, taking the No. 41 out of the race and forcing a restart with 19 laps to go.
Despite the threat created by the restart, Madsen charged forward instantly and re-gained his lead. From the looks of it, he was just too fast and too aggressive to beat.
Nine laps and a solid lead later, Madsen had a minor fumble coming out of a turn, and again after passing Sheldon Haudenschild in lap traffic, and with seven laps to go Sweet had finally caught up to him.
Five laps to go and the Kasey Kahne Racing driver was all over Madsen, looking like he might actually win. During the next lap, Sweet managed to steal the lead, but Madsen immediately reclaimed it. With only two laps left, when Madsen finally lapped the Wild Child, Sweet was caught behind Haudenschild and Paul McMahan, and that was that. Madsen crossed the checkers.
The FVP Platinum Battery Showdown continues tomorrow night and will also be streamed LIVE on DIRTVision.com

Wayne Johnson Tops Night One Of The Lucas Oil ASCS Grizzly Nationals
BELGRADE, Mont. (July 7, 2017) Figuring out an issue with his car going into the Brownfield Classic, Wayne Johnson's No. 2c has been stout ever since, and Friday night at Gallatin Speedway, the Oklahoma City native was the class of the field on night one of the second annual Grizzly Nationals; leading non-stop in Friday's feature event.
"Before that last caution, I felt like the right rear was going down because I started getting real tight through the middle, but my nephew Bud, he motioned to me to just move down and it was alright. After that, they were going to have to be really good to go by me on the outside," said Johnson who picked up his 49th career Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour feature win.
Johnson's first trip of the season to Victory Lane with the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series National Tour presented by the MAVTV Motorsports Network, the stop on the front stretch was one the wily veteran will not forget, as he got the hang out with the 900lbs Grizzly Bear known as Adam.
"I'm not going to lie, I was nervous about standing next to a Grizzly Bear, but that was really neat," chuckled Wayne.
Taking the green from the pole of Friday's 25 lap preliminary feature event, Johnson was stalked from the start by California's Giovanni Scelzi. Going green from the fourth spot, the driver of the BDS Motorsports No. 1 took the fight for second three-wide to secure the view of Johnson's Outlaw Wings No. 2c going into the third turn.
Twin grooves through the third and fourth turns in the early laps, the bottom of one and two was the preferred path as the leaders found traffic by the sixth lap. Getting a run to the outside of Johnson off the fourth turn at one point, Scelzi showed a nose but Wayne was able to keep the top spot.
Asked if he was concerned about getting moved on a restart, Johnson replied, "Not at all. All those guys race pretty good. I did see Gio just one time off of four when I slipped up a little bit, and after that I just made up my mind they were going to have to pass me on the outside. I never saw Seth even though he was in the mix."
Caution working Lap 12, Skylar Gee climbed the left side tires of Bryan Brown while running fourth. Bringing the No. 38b to a stop, Gee rolled on but went to the work area. Skylar would come back to finish 12th.
Green until Lap 18 as Sam Hafertepe, Jr. rolled to a stop with a flat tire, the restart was short lived as debris brought back the attempt, allowing the No. 15h to return to the track and eventually at 11th place finish.
Battling for second on the restart, Seth Bergman found the line under Scelzi as the 15 year old racers slipped up just enough to allow the No. 23 the pass as Johnson motored away before the caution flew once more with five laps to run.
With tire conservation in mind, Johnson was able to take his Hoosiers go the distance with Giovanni Scelzi ending up second as Seth Bergman's right rear shredded off the final turn. Aaron Reutzel moved by for third with Canada's Kelly Miller in tow. Keeping his foot in the throttle, Seth was able to salvage a fifth place finish.
Johnny Herrera moved from ninth to finish sixth with Matt Covington following from 11th.

Pit gates are scheduled to open at 4:30, with the grandstands opening for fans at 5:30. Racing is scheduled to start at 7:00pm.

The top five finishers of the twenty-lap feature and five random drivers will also be presented a FREE raffle ticket to the end of the season drawling of the BRAND NEW DMI Bulldog XR-3 rear, a complete DMI front axle assembly, as well as the $3,800 injection that was gifted to the series by Engler Machine and Tool. A total purse of $4,000 dollars will be distributed throughout a twenty-four car field with the winner claiming $300 to take the checkered flag. Additional contingencies that will be disbursed will include $50 cash to the winner of each heat race event presented by Competition Suspension Inc., Freiberger Excavating, and Professional Design Services, a hard charger award of $25 cash courtesy of Bruce's Auto Body, the $25 Bitner Automotive 'Lightning Fast Time of the Night' bonus, 5 gallons of fuel to the winner of the A-Main, courtesy of Kelly Racing Fuels, $25 dollars cash to the worst pill draw from Professional Design Services, and a $25 Todd's Performance gift certificate will conclude the list of extras up for grabs.

Redemption: Kraig Kinser Wins the Clash at the Creek at Deer Creek Speedway
By: Tony Veneziano
SPRING VALLEY, Minn. - July 6, 2017 - Kraig Kinser was five laps away from picking up his first win of the season last week with the World of Outlaws Craftsman® Sprint Car Series at The Dirt Oval at Route 66 in Joliet, Ill., only to have the power steering go bad while leading, the third-generation driver made up for that near-miss on Thursday night, as he was victorious in the Clash at the Creek at Deer Creek Speedway in Minnesota.
For Kinser, it was his first World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series win of the season and his first since 2014. The veteran driver now has 17 career World of Craftsman Sprint Car Series Feature wins.
"You never want to have issues when you are running up front and tonight we didn't," said Kinser. "It was a struggle, because we were so good at the beginning. I knew we weren't going to be quite as good at the end. Seeing Donny (Schatz) the last five or 10 laps, you have to be at your best. I definitely wasn't leaving much on the table. There were a few spots I was getting really good bite, but other than that, I was sliding through the turns and just trying to keep momentum up."
The event, which began on Thursday, June 29 and was postponed by rain three laps into the feature, set up a unique race night, which consisted of hot laps and the remaining 37 laps of the 40-lapper. Kinser asserted himself early in the race as a contender, while David Gravel, the pole sitter paced the first one-third of the race.
"We were pretty good here the other day and had to wait a week, but were close to how good we were last week," Kinser noted. "This is a high-banked momentum track and if you can get the top working it's usually better than hitting the bottom. Early, it had some moisture and we could stop, get the car turned and get off the corner. At the end, it was kind of just a momentum deal."
Kinser lined up fifth when the race resumed on Thursday night and was up to third just a handful of laps into the 40-lap race. He moved into second when Brad Sweet had a flat tire on the 10th lap. Just prior to the halfway point of the race, Kinser used a strong run on the high side of the track to take the lead from David Gravel coming off turn four. Down the stretch, Kinser held off a furious charge by Donny Schatz to claim the win. Kinser endured a number of restarts while out front,
"The restarts were very important, though everything you do with the Outlaws is," said Kinser.
"To say you beat the 15 car and 2 car and all the guys, everything is important and has to go right."
Schatz, who re-started the race ninth on Thursday night, steadily worked his way forward. He tried both the high and low side of the track as he tracked down Kinser. Schatz nearly drew even with Kinser a handful of times, often diving under him turns three and four, but never was able to quite make a pass stick.
"Our job is to make something happen," said Schatz. "I tried to make something happen, but Kraig (Kinser) was pretty good. I knew I didn't want to get next to him unless I could get by him. He had a little bit left in there. Hats off to those guys. They have been knocking on the door for quite some time and got one done tonight. For us, we normally don't run that well here, so second is pretty respectable. We were wanting to win and were there fighting for it and that's all you can ask for."
Shane Stewart, who lined up eighth for the re-started main event, used a late-race charge to cross the line third to continue his recent hot streak. Stewart was engaged in a spirited battle with Ian Madsen and Sheldon Haudenschild for the third spot for several laps.
"That was a fun race," Stewart said. "My car seems to get better as the race goes on. On a 40-lap race, that's what you want. It would have been interesting if there would have been a late-race caution. I'm happy with third. I have to thank all the fans for coming back out and supporting this race. I am looking forward to the rest of the summer."
Sheldon Haudenschild, who ran as high as third, ended up fourth. The leading contender for the Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year Award, put on a show, as he bounced the right rear off the wall several times, even passing cars in the process.
Brad Sweet recovered from an early race flat tire to round out the top-five, after having to re-start at the tail of the field.
Paul McMahan was sixth, with Greg Wilson seventh, early leader David Gravel was eighth, with Jason Johnson recovering from a trip to the work area to finish ninth. Jacob Allen rounded out the top-10.
The World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series returns to action this weekend with the FVP Platinum Battery Showdown at Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond, Wisc., on Friday, July 7 and Saturday, July 8.
