FREMONT, Ohio – The battle for sprint car supremacy in Ohio continues Friday at AtticaRacewayPark. The “north” teams of the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads FAST Championship 410 Sprint Series presented by Ohio Logistics will once again take on the “south” teams from the Ohio Sprint Car Series on Friday, June 2 on AmeriGas/Edward Jones/Kear’s Speed Shop/Sutton Bank Night.
Friday marks the third installment of the “North verses South” battle. Round one at Atomic Speedway went to Brandon Wimmer who defended the OSCS home turf. Round 2 this past Saturday saw Pennsylvania driver Tim Shaffer take the loot.
“I want to thank all the OSCS teams that came to Fremont last week to help us put on a fantastic show with 45 sprint cars in attendance. I’m sure they will be just as tough at Attica Friday and Fremont on Saturday,” said Rich Farmer, FAST President.
AtticaRacewayPark will host area scouts and their leaders Friday and hot dogs are only $1. The UMP late models and 305 sprints are also in action with gates opening at 5 p.m. and racing at 7:45 p.m.
The FAST teams will then travel to Fremont Speedway in Fremont, Ohio on Saturday, June 3 on Vision Quest Night. Prior to the night’s racing the Fremont Speedway Hall of Fame will hold their induction ceremonies under the historic covered grandstands beginning at 1 p.m.
Besides the FAST 410 sprints, the Race of Legends will take place with former race drivers getting behind the wheel of 305 sprints for a complete program. The dirt trucks and late models will also be in action with gates opening at noon. Your ticket to the hall of fame ceremony also includes admission into the night’s racing which is slated to begin at 7 p.m.
After four events with four different winners, the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads FAST Championship 410 Sprint Series presented by Ohio Logistics points is led by Fremont, Ohio’s DJ Foos.
