FREMONT, Ohio – Nate Dussel lead midway through Saturday’s 410 sprint car feature at Fremont Speedway, 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.
Matt Foos lead all 25 laps of the Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint A-main and drove to a dominant win, the 10th of his career at Fremont. Foos, the track’s point leader, hasn’t finished out of the top seven all season at Fremont. Shawn Valenti won the 20-lap Burmeister Trophy Dirt Truck feature.
