The Kistler Racing Products FAST Championship Series kicked off on a
windy night at Attica Raceway Park. There were 29 fire-breathing 410
sprint cars ready to do battle for the Kistler Cup on Friday night
before moving down the road to Fremont Speedway on Saturday where 34
cars would collect points toward the FAST Championship.
The surprise of the weekend was seeing a familiar looking white #63
in the pits with Bob Hampshire turning the wrenches. Chad Kemenah was
the pilot of this machine and he took it right to the front of the
A-main on Friday as he led the majority of the race. A late race
caution allowed Brian Smith to get a run on Kemenah when the green
flag dropped and Smith made the last 6 laps of the 30 lapper work for
him as he pulled away from the #63 to net his first 410 victory and
the first ever FAST feature win. Kemenah came home second followed by
Tim Shaffer, Mike Linder, and Brandon Martin.
The Zemco Headers Hard Charger award went to Andy Shammo for passing
7 cars in the main event on his way to a 13th place finish. Cole
Duncan picked up the Hepfner Racing Products Tough Luck award for his
unfortunate crash during his heat race. The GME/Nields Steering Cool
Move of the Race went to Brian Smith for making the winning move on
the last restart, though Kemenah had an awesome move earlier in the
event when he took the lead by threading the needle going 3-wide
coming off turn four.
Mark Keegan picked up the Keizer Wheels B-Main Winner Award, while
Lee Jacobs picked up a Butlerbuilt certificate for being the first
non-transferring car in the B-Main. Brian Smith picked up certificates
from Saldana Racing Products and RacingJunk.com for his FAST feature
win. Kemenah took home the Rod End Supply award for his second place
run. Tim Shaffer picked up an Outerwears Award for third. Mike Linder
netted a DMI Racing Components award for finishing 4th and Brandon
Martin took home the VMAC Racing award for rounding out the Top 5.
Night #2 of the Fremont/Attica Sprint Title Championship Series saw
Tim Shaffer pull into victory lane at Fremont Speedway in a car
wrenched on by Brian Kemenah of Kistler Racing Products - the series
Title Sponsor. Shaffer has been dominant at Fremont Speedway this
season picking up his second win in a row and finding himself on top
of the FAST point standings. Lee Jacobs, who just put his #25 car
together last Saturday in the pits in Fremont, gave Shaffer all he
could handle and made several challenges pulling right up on Shaffer's
bumper in traffic. Jacobs was unable to get a run on Shaffer and
settled for 2nd place with Greg Wilson and Dale Blaney battling side
by side for third behind him. Wilson came home third, followed by
Blaney and Chad Kemenah in the Hampshire #63 rounding out the Top 5.
The Zemco Headers Hard Charger award went to Craig Mintz who started
20th and passed 7 cars to finish 13th. The GME/Nields Cool Move award
went to Caleb Griffith who made a daring last lap move in the B-main
causing him to spin across the finish line. The Hepfner Racing
Products Tough Luck award went to Travis Philo who flipped wildly down
the front stretch during his heat race destroying the car and ending
his night. Rob Chaney picked up the TQ QT award from TQ Fiberglass for
setting the Quick Time in qualifying. Phil Gressman picked up the
B-main win and a Keizer Wheels award, while Caleb Griffith got the
Butlerbuilt award for the first non-transfer car from the B-main.
Tim Shaffer grabbed the Saldana Racing Products and RacingJunk.com
awards for winning the A-main event. Lee Jacobs took home the Rod End
Supply award for second place. Greg Wilson picked up the Outerwears
Pre-Filters award for third. Dale Blaney got the DMI Racing Components
award for fourth place. Chad Kemenah took home the VMAC Racing/BR
Motorsports award for fifth.
After two nights of competition, Tim Shaffer leads the point chase
followed by Chad Kemenah, Greg Wilson, Byron Reed, Cap Henry, Mike
Linder, Brandon Martin, Brian Smith, Brock Mayes, and Lee Jacobs
rounding out the Top 10.
