Fremont, Ohio’s John Ivy held off a late race charge from Nate Dussel to claim his second win of the year in the Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprints. Ivy now has 54 career Fremont wins, placing him in a tie for fifth on the track’s all-time win list with hall-of-famer Herbie Robinson.
“The top was kind of rough there and I knew I had to stay up there. I saw Dussel and Rando (Steve) stick there nose under me and I figured I’d just stay on top and hopefully it would work out for me. I think the left rear tire was going down…she was slamming pretty hard. I have to thank Guy and Darren and my brother and Ron and everyone that’s been helping out on this deal. We’ve been struggling a little bit here. Hopefully this will help us turn the corner,” said Ivy beside his CN Construction Supplies; Ginnever Trucking; Sonny’s Machine & Welding; Kistler Racing Products; Rohr Lawn Care; Mr. Appliance; MRE; Sipes Oceola Garage; Dave Story Equipment; L&R Farms; S&S Racing: Kercher Engines; Linder’s Speed Equipment; Tiffany’s Furniture; Seagate Sandblasting; Keller Hardware; Johnson Hunting & Fishing backed #77i.
