FREMONT, Ohio – Nate Dussel lead midway through the 410 A feature at Fremont Speedway Saturday, lost the lead to Cole Duncan but fought back to take the lead with four laps to go and drove to his second win of the season on All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads Night.

Stuart Brubaker took the early lead but Dussel stayed within striking distance and when the leaders raced into heavy lapped traffic by lap 13 Dussel pounced to take the top spot. Ohio Sprint Speedweek Fremont winner Cole Duncan drove around Dussel into the lead on lap 17 and appeared to be headed for the win. Following a caution with nine laps to go, Dussel began using the bottom side of the track to close on Duncan and drove under the lead to take the top spot back with four laps to go. Dussel pulled away for his 27th career Fremont win worth $4,000 thanks to Spanky’s Pizza of Carey, Ohio.

“When I got passed by him (Duncan) I thought well that’s pretty much done. When it comes to a slick track at Fremont Cole Duncan is about as unbeatable as it comes. We got a little bit of a run there two or three laps and I gained on him a couple of laps when I found the bottom and I thought well shit the only chance I’ve got is hoping he doesn’t find the bottom. And I started nailing that. I can’t tell you how rewarding that is because we’ve just been terrible all year. I can’t find any consistency and it beats you up as a driver and a team. It’s what we’ve needed,” said Dussel beside his Northwest Installation/Industrial Movers, S&S Hauling and Excavating, Fausey Farms, JRC Transportation, Berrier Custom Fabrication, Kistler Engines, NuFarm, Al Davis Carpet, Real Geese Decoys, A Plus Auto Center, Box 7, Speedways Bar & Grille, DGGI, Wurtec, Wonderly Carpet Care, All Star Performance, Keizer Wheels, BRS, Kistler Racing Products backed #1.

With is third place finish DJ Foos will build his lead in the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products 410 Attica Fremont Championship Series Presented by the Baumann Auto Group.

Fremont’s Matt Foos lead all 25 laps of the Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint A-main and drove to a dominating win, the 10th of his career at “The Track That Action Built. Foos, the track’s point leader, hasn’t finished out of the top seven all season at Fremont. He gained a few points on Napa Auto Parts of Bryan 305 AFCS Presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales point leader Paul Weaver who charged from 19th to a fifth place finish.

“I really didn’t know how big of a lead I had. They just signaled I was okay. Dad had a really good race car tonight. I could pretty much go where ever I wanted to. This stuff ain’t easy and I’ve been getting beat by an old man all year and I was sick and tired of it. But that’s alright, it only makes you better and you go to work harder. Just an awesome night,” said Foos beside his Fremont Fence, Mitten Painting, 818 Club, Level Performance, Kear’s Speed Shop, Rohr Total Lawn Care, Speedshark Graphics, FK Rod Ends backed #12. “I have to thank Jamie and Renee…they do so much for me. Also Fremont Fence, Brian Mitten came on board this year, Shark Graphics, Dave Rohrbacher and Dennis Level who builds an awesome motor.”

The 20 lap Burmeister Trophy Dirt Truck A-main was a dandy with four to five trucks battling up front the entire distance. Shawn Valenti lead the first lap but Jeff Babcock slide into the top spot on lap two and held off challenges from Valenti lap after lap. By lap five Jamie Miller jointed the front duo with Cory McCaughey adding to the excitement a lap later. McCaughey took second on lap 10 with Valenti and Miller racing hard right on his rear bumper. Following a couple of cautions with a hand full of laps remaining, Babcock seemed to have things under control, holding a couple of truck length lead. However, Valenti closed with three laps to go and drove into the lead coming to the white flag and went on to his fourth win of the season and 65th of his career, just 11 victories shy of tying Art Ball atop the track’s all-time win list. It was a good night for Valenti as he also finished third in the 305 sprint A-main.

“Heck of a battle for the lead. I know Cory had his nose stuck in there…we wasn’t that good tonight but to come out on top and have a battle with Jeffrey….awesome awesome night for Babcock trucks,” said Valenti beside his Best Performance Motorsports; A Plus Auto Center; Craig Miller Trucking; KS Sales & Service; Gressman Powersports; Dave Story Equipment, Speedways Bar and Grill; Roberts & Sons Contracting backed #7B.

“Any time you’re standing up on the podium twice at Fremont it’s a good night,” added Valenti.

Fremont Speedway will be back in action Saturday, Aug.14 on Industrial Resourcing Group night with the Ti22 Performance FAST 410s, BOSS non-wing, 305 sprints and dirt trucks in action.
