Thomas gets 3rd 410 win at Attica
ATTICA, Ohio — Cale Thomas took the lead with only five laps to go in the 410 sprint feature Friday, July 5 at Attica Raceway Park and drove to his third win of the year at the track on Heidelberg Materials/Sutton Bank Fan Appreciation Night.
Thomas, from Fairland, Indiana, now has five total wins in 2024. Attica’s point leader increases his advantage in the points with the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by the Baumann Auto Group. Thomas’ win aboard the Jay Kiser Racing #23 is his sixth podium run of the year at Attica Raceway Park. He now has five career victories at “Ohio’s Finest Racing” speed plant.
Darin Naida led the opening lap of the Callie’s Performance Products 410 Sprint A-main but third starter Zeth Sabo bolted into the top spot a lap later. Sabo built up a 1.5 second lead by the half-way point with Naida, Thomas, Cap Henry and Kalib Henry in tow. With 9 laps to go Thomas disposed of Naida and began closing on Sabo, driving into the lead on lap 25. While Thomas pulled away, the action for second was wild involving Naida, Sabo, Cap Henry and Kalib Henry. At the checkers behind Thomas, Sabo, Cap Henry, Kalib Henry and Naida rounded out the top five.
“I was struggling there at the beginning. The motor was 140 degrees…we had a problem with our engine heater before we went out. These things don’t like being cold and it kind of made it a hand full even when I got myself situated and the motor was good I couldn’t keep the front end down on this thing. Once we got the fuel load off a little bit and got closer to dirty air and I seemed to stay about the same speed when it slowed those other guys down,” said Thomas beside his Spanky’s Pizza, Shelluke’s Bar & Grill, Automatic Fire Protection, Ohio Refrigeration, Ohio Heating, Engler Machine, BH 41, TMH Holdings, Berryman Racing Shocks, Keizer Wheels backed machine.
Colin Shipley led the first 15 laps of the Whistle Stop Presents the Dirt Nerds Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Model A-main before Kyle Moore drove around the high side to take the point and drive away for his second straight win at Attica. It’s Moore’s third victory of 2024 at Attica and an incredible eighth straight podium finish at the track. Shipley, JR Gentry, Devin Shiels and Ryan Markham rounded out the top five.
“I was watching Colin but there wasn’t too much I could do…he was letting it hang out getting in and I couldn’t diamond it off in one and two. I followed him and he left a lot of room getting into turn four. I got a run and it was like here it is. We took the point lead and we got another win and this is awesome,” said Moore beside his Kepling Flooring, Tye Tworg Longhorn, Joyride Transportation, Smitley Towing, Short Stop, Malcuit Race Engines, Wilson Realty, Robin Jakubick, RL Bond Septic, Hepthorn Golf Cart Sales, House of Spud, K&B Septic Service, Coffman Composites, Team Midwest Paint, Platinum Design backed #1*
Steve Rando led the first lap of the Fremont Fence 305 Sprints A-main before five time track champion Jamie Miller drove to the lead. Miller built up a nearly three second lead but while slicing through lapped traffic with 10 laps to go, a pair spun, collecting Miller. Rando led on the restart but eighth starter Bryan Sebetto drove under him and took the top spot on lap 17. Sebetto drove away to his second win of the season at Attica and his 16th career victory in the division at the track. It was also Sebetto’s fifth overall victory of 2024.
Rando, Logan Riehl, Brenden Torok and Miller, who drove from the tail after his mid race mishap, rounded out the top five. Miller’s efforts ensure he will remain atop the NAPA of Bryan Attica Fremont Championship Series presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales standings.
“We got off of what we were doing at the beginning of the year there for a little stretch just trying to get better and we were actually getting worse. We went back to what we know and what was working. Guy and Chase and Kevin have this car so good and so driveable right now. We’re at a point where we are just fine tuning here and there. Doug Berryman built us a new left rear shock to try tonight and it was really good,” said Sebetto beside his Sandusky Bay Remodeling, JLH General Contractor, Sandusky Bay RV Rentals, KH Suspension, Race Ready Apparrel, NAPA of Fremont, Clay Keim, Depot Pizza, CA Kustoms, Level Performance backed #01.
Attica Raceway Park will be back in action Tuesday, July 16 for the 36th Annual Ohio Logistics Brad Doty Classic Presented by dac Pet Products featuring the World of Outlaw NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series.
