FREMONT, Ohio — D.J. Foos is having a dream season.
The Fremont, Ohio, driver passed Nate Dussel late in the feature and drove to his sixth 410 winged sprint car victory of the season at Fremont Speedway Saturday.
Foos’ 23rd career victory at “The Track That Action Built” increases his lead in the Fremont points heading into championship night on Saturday, Oct. 2.
“This is the stuff you dream of as a little kid,” Foos said. “To be able to win six races here at Fremont Speedway is pretty huge for me. When me and Nate got into traffic we were both kind of moving around there and I found the middle lane was working for me.
“We basically had a perfect points night tonight. We set quick time, won the heat and won the feature. I really want to win that championship.”
Dussell finished second, ahead of Zane DeVault, Byron Reed and Mike Keegan.
B.J. Gregory took the lead on lap three of the Steel Block Late Model Series feature and drove to his first feature win for the series’ first appearance at Fremont Speedway.
Dustin Stroup battled with Paul Weaver early in the Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 A-main and narrowly avoided disaster when a lapped car spun right in front of him in the middle of the race.
Stroup then held off a late race challenge from Fremont point leader Matt Foos to score his fourth win of the season. It was the sixth career win for Stroup at Fremont Speedway.
For the second straight week the Burmeister Trophy Dirt Truck feature came down to the last lap and for the second straight week the winner took the checkers just a half a truck length ahead of the second place machine.
This week it was two-time dirt truck track champion and current point leader Shawn Valenti who edged Jeff Babcock for the victory. For Valenti it’s his fifth truck victory of 2021 at Fremont and sixth overall win at the track as he also has a 305 sprint victory, pushing his career total to 67, just nine away from Art Ball, the track’s all-time feature winner.
