FREMONT, Ohio — For any race car driver who grew up attending races at Fremont Speedway presented by the FriendShip Kitchen, the annual race at the Sandusky County Fair was special.
Bryan Sebetto, has won a lot of big races at “The Track That Action Built,” but winning the fair race was on his bucket list and he checked it off Monday on Fremont Fence/Vision Quest/Coaches Corner Night to kick off the 174th Sandusky Fair.
Sebetto, a former Fremont 410 sprint track champion, was involved in a mishap with race long leader Kasey Jedrzejek on lap 13 that saw Jedrzejek, who is competing for the rookie of the year honors with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series, spin. Sebetto led until Jimmy McGrath got by on lap 18.
Sebetto used lapped traffic to regain the lead on lap 23 and drove to his 7th win of the year at Fremont and his 11th overall victory of 2026.
McGrath, Creed Kemenah (from 16th), Jamie Miller and Seth Schneider rounded out the top five.
“First, I want to apologize to Kasey…that is all on me. He has a very bright future in sprint car racing,” Sebetto said. “I hate that happened and he has every right to be mad at me. As I said earlier, I’ve won a lot of big races at this track but this one I wanted really bad for not only me but for Bobby Clark and all my guys who work so hard on this thing. I think Jimmy (McGrath) actually had the fastest car but when you are leading and get into traffic you have to make snap decisions and the guy running second can react.”
It was Sebetto’s 35th career win at Fremont, putting him 15th on the track’s all-time win list just one shy of his car owner Bobby Clark and Byron Reed.
In the school bus races, Kevin Rhineberger, who won the race over 20 years ago, took a win as did 410 sprint car driver Zeth Sabo.
