ATTICA, Ohio – Cap Henry is a quick learner. The Republic, Ohio driver got two attempts at a restart and utilized a different strategy on the second one to take the lead in the 410 sprint feature Friday, June 21 at Attica Raceway Park and held off a late race challenge to score his second win of the year on Etna Supply/Hanson Aggregates Night.
The victory also propelled Attica’s 2020 champion into the point lead for the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series, a title he also won in 2020.
Hunter Schuerenberg led the first 11 laps of the Callie’s Performance Products 410 Sprint feature with Henry giving chase. A caution gave Henry a shot but Schuerenberg maintained the lead. A red came out for a Travis Philo Trey Jacobs tangle before a complete lap could be scored. This time on the restart, Henry switched up and went to the bottom and drove into the lead.
Henry, aboard the Jeff Ward Demolition, Elliott’s Custom Trailers and Carts, Premier Planning Services, Tony Elliott Foundation, Primal Tee Shop, SCS Gear Box, Napa of Fremont backed machine, started to pull away from Schuerenberg who lost second to Chris Andrews with just five laps to go. Racing in lapped traffic, Andrews quickly closed and with two laps to go dove under Henry. Henry rocked off the cushion of turn four and drove to his 14th career 410 win at Attica. It is his sixth overall victory of 2023 for Jeff Ward Motorsports.
“I got lucky there…we got a couple of practice tries at it to figure out what we had to do. First slider for the first start I was a little bit cleaner and left more room and it took him a little while to get there and I was like ‘we’re pretty good.’ He switched it up there on the other restart and took the top and I knew the bottom was better. I knew as long as we were leading it off of four we’d be alright. From there it was pacing it through traffic. I thought I was doing pretty good. With a few laps to go I looked to the left and saw Chris’ nose wing I was like we need to pick the pace up a little bit and start getting with it,” said Henry. “We’re going to keep enjoying this because you never know when it will end. It’s just a lot of fun right now.”
The 25 lap Fremont Fence 305 Sprint feature was marred by several early cautions. Fremont’s Paul Weaver, a six time and defending Attica champion, who has struggled uncharacteristically at the track this season, led early. Once the race got going, former champion Jamie Miller began to challenge for the lead. As the duo raced into heavy lapped traffic Bryan Sebetto also moved in to challenge.
A caution with just eight laps to go gave Weaver a clear track and he drove to his first win of the year at Attica. It is his 69th career win in the division and coupled with his three 410 sprint victories, he leads all drivers in total wins with 72 at the track.
“I’ve had some weird stuff happen here this year…not engine problems but something that made the motor not run right the first couple of nights. Then get caught up and spiking the brakes to miss hitting someone and spinning out…I thought what’s going to go wrong now with all those yellows. They should be at the end of the race so I can get a breather. I have to thank Bob Hampshire. This motor ran on the top wide open and never missed and ran perfect,” said Weaver beside his Steve Brown’s B&B Drain Service, M&L Excavating, Hampshire Racing Engines backed machine.
Jamie Miller’s second place finish keeps him atop the NAPA of Bryan Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales.
