FREMONT, Ohio — Cap Henry held off several challenges Saturday at Fremont Speedway Presented by Gill Construction on Vision Quest Night to score his second 410 sprint win of the season at The Track That Action Built.
Henry, a former Fremont track champion, took the lead of the 30-lap Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprint A-main from Nate Dussel on lap five then held off challenges from eighth-starter Kasey Jedrzejek and Zeth Sabo to take earn his 23rd career win at the track.
Jedrzejek, who crashed hard the previous night at Limaland Motorsports Park challenged Henry many times and also had to hold off Sabo to earn second with D.J. Foos and last week’s Fremont winner Brock Hallett rounding out the top five.
“It was pretty hard to pass. The first green flag run I felt pretty good and the second one I knew I wasn’t making good enough time but didn’t know what to do. We got that last caution (with 11 laps to go) I could tell guys were running the bottom and I looked over my shoulder and saw Kasey running the bottom so that confirmed I needed to run the bottom. I tried to execute as good as I could. I was a little unsure. The car was good. We put a new engine in this week that Gary (Griffith) did for us and we had to figure some quirks out at Attica but I’m really happy,” said Henry.
Defending Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint track champion Jamie Miller showed patience pays off. The Fremont, Ohio driver took the lead from Brenden Torok on lap 17 of the 25-lap affair and drove to his third victory of the year at Fremont, the 55th career win at the track.
Miller, who has four wins at Attica Raceway Park as well, has not finished out of the top three all season at Fremont. Torok, who lead laps 1-16, settled for second ahead of last week’s winner Matt Foos, Jimmy McGrath and Steve Rando.
Shawn Valenti held off opening season winner Kent Brewer to score his fifth straight feature win in the Burmeister Trophy Dirt Trucks. In fact, after running second to Brewer on opening night, Valenti has remained undefeated.
Valenti’s win – the 87th of his career at Fremont to stand atop the track’s all-time win list – was even more special as his truck owner Jeff Bacock was inducted prior to the night’s racing into the Fremont Speedway Hall of Fame.
