ATTICA, Ohio (April 20, 2018) – Jac Haudenschild from Wooster, Ohio helped make the first Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1 event of the season in his home state a memorable one in route to winning the feature event Friday night at Attica Raceway Park. Haudenschild spent most of the 40-lap main event swapping the lead back and forth with Carson Macedo before holding off a late race challenge by Lee Jacobs for the victory.
Haudenschild led fellow front row starter Max Stambaugh and Macedo the first 15 laps. Macedo was able to pass Stambaugh during a restart for second on lap 15. Macedo immediately started to put pressure on Haudenschild for the lead.
Macedo took the lead using the top of the race track on lap 17. Haudenschild and Macedo traded the lead back and forth through slower traffic. Just as Lee Jacobs, Stambaugh, and Craig Mintz were closing in on the lead duo the caution appeared for Macedo slowing off turn two with a flat right rear tire.
Over the final laps Haudenschild was pressured by fellow Ohio native Lee Jacobs. Coming to the white flag Jacobs in position to challenge, but Haudenschild was able to run a perfect final lap to thwart Jacobs bid for the victory. Mintz, Stambaugh, and defending All Star champion Chad Kemenah rounded out the top five.
Paul Weaver won the 305 sprint car feature.
