ATTICA, Ohio – Cap Henry knew after the high side of the track was watered he had to act quickly at the start of the 410 sprint feature Friday, June 2 at Attica Raceway Park. The Republic, Ohio driver blasted from fourth into the lead at the drop of the green, then made daring moves in lapped traffic and drove to his first win of the year at Attica on Burns Electric/Metal Masters Fabrication Night.
Henry, Attica’s 2020 track champion and the 2020 All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products presented by the Baumann Auto Group Attica Fremont Championship Series 410 champion, claimed his fourth overall victory of 2023 having won three at Fremont Speedway. The victory moves him into serious contention for the AFCS title.
It wasn’t that easy for Henry as Trey Jacobs closed in lapped traffic but slipped over the edge of the track with just five laps to go. Following Henry to the checkers was last week’s winner Travis Philo, Jacobs, Stuart Brubaker and Zeth Sabo.
“I don’t know if the rest of the guys didn’t see it (watering the track) or what but I knew that was the place to be. I saw them guys all run the bottom and I knew I had one chance to get there. Zack and Chris and Jeff and Gary have been working really hard on this thing….they keep plugging away at it. We were okay here just not good enough…I knew we’d get there. Mid-season championship is always a good one to win,” said Henry beside his 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 #33W.
The Fremont Fence 305 feature saw three lead changes in the last five laps. Paul Weaver lead the first 14 circuits of the 25 lap A-main with Steve Rando taking over for laps 15-20 before slipping over the turn two rim, giving the lead back to Weaver. Weaver was locked in a battle with Bryan Sebetto in heavy lapped traffic when he made contact, did a 360, collecting Sebetto who was able to keep rolling. Sebetto then inherited the lead and held off Rando, Jamie Miller, Dustin Dinan and Brandon Moore for his first win of the year, the 14th of his career in the division at Attica.
“A lapped car went off the track on the back stretch came back on in front of Paul…that was unfortunate. That’s not how I wanted to win one. I think Steve (Rando) probably had the fastest car…he just slipped out a little bit down there and gave it back to me and Paul. Sometimes when you’re leading like that you have to hit your marks. I’ve don’t it. I’ve run off the end leading and it sucks for Steve and it sucks for Paul how that all fell out,” said Sebetto.
“I really, really, really wanted to win tonight so that Guy (Myers, Sebetto’s crew chief) and Zack (Myers, Henry’s crew chief) could both have feature wins on the same night. That really means a lot. An army of people go into putting these cars on the race track. If it weren’t for Kevin Schlachter I wouldn’t be out here racing. He was generous enough to put a car together for me last year when I decided I wanted to come and have some fun. We try to make this fun and not so much work,” added Sebetto beside his Sandusky Bay Remodeling, JLH General Contractor, Sandusky Bay RV Rentals, KH Suspension, NAPA of Fremont, Clay Keim, Depot Pizza, CA Kustoms backed #01.
