FREMONT, Ohio – DJ Foos sliced his way through lapped traffic and then survived a late race caution to score his third 410 sprint victory of the season at Fremont Speedway Saturday, June 26 on Willies Sales & Service Night.
Paul Weaver took the lead with just five laps to go in a tremendous Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint feature that saw him, Dustin Stroup and Alvin Roepke battle hard the last 12 laps. Weaver went on to score his second victory of the season at Fremont and the 61st of his career at “The Track That Action Built” to put him fourth on the track’s all-time win list.
Foos, from Fremont, Ohio, led all 30 laps of the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprint A-main but it wasn’t an easy victory. Heavy lapped traffic forced him to make daring moves aboard his Burmeister Racing machine to maintain the lead as Nate Dussel closed several times. A caution with three laps to go put Dussel right on Foos’ rear bumper but the 2019 Attica Fremont Championship Series champion was able to hold off Dussel to score the win, the 20th of his career at Fremont.
“I knew I had to get the jump on the start. I squeezed Nate up a little there on the start…I didn’t mean to. My car was just so good. I didn’t want that last caution because I could move around to get through lapped traffic. We struggled at the beginning of speedweek but my guys worked hard and we found great speed later and it paid off tonight,” said Foos beside his Crown Battery, CR Juices, All in Tent Rentals, Dave Story Equipment, Burmeister Trophy, Sonny’s Signs, Vantage Branding, The Jet Express, BRS, Kistler Engines, Kistler Racing Products backed #16.
The win propelled Foos to the front of the standing of the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products 410 Attica Fremont Championship Series Presented by the Baumann Auto Group.
Weaver worked his way forward in the 25-lap 305 feature as Stroup and Roepke battled lap after lap early. With seven laps to go it was a tremendous three car battle for the lead. Stroup led laps 1-17 with Roepke leading lap 18 and Stroup back to the point on lap 19 with Weaver driving into the lead on lap 20 and taking the win.
“I crept in on them as they were battling to stay on the bottom and I had one shot in three and four to make a good lap and that’s all it took. I only made one good lap,” said Weaver beside his Adkins Motorsports, B&B Drain Services, M & L Excavating, Hampshire Racing Engines backed #1W.
Weaver pads his lead in the NAPA of Bryan 305 AFCS presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales.
Fremont Speedway will be back in action Saturday, July 10 on Baumann Auto Group Night featuring the AFCS 410 and 305 sprints and dirt trucks.
