ATTICA, Ohio – Bryce Lucius just had to settle down and let the car come to him Friday, June 28 at Attica Raceway Park. The 17-year-old Findlay, Ohio driver battled with a couple of other racers early and withstood challenges late to score his second Attica win of the season on Smith Family Foods/Columbus Equipment/Etna Supply Night.
Jordan Ryan led the opening lap of the Callie’s Performance Products 410 Sprint A-main with pressure from Lucius and Zeth Sabo. Lucius took over the point on lap two but had Sabo racing to his inside lap after lap before Cale Thomas entered the picture and took second on lap seven. Thomas poked his nose under Lucius several times but could not get clear to take the lead. Lucius, the 2023 national 410 rookie of the year, worked lapped traffic like a seasoned veteran and drove to the win over Thomas, Sabo, Cap Henry and Greg Wilson.
“My dad, Swank (Tyler), Drew and my mom had me good. Luckily we were able to start on the pole. I’m glad Zeth (Sabo) didn’t take me out…I was out of control those first couple of laps. I had to get the wing back and everything. Me and Cale (Thomas) race each other pretty good…I knew I’d be good racing with him for the win,” said Lucius beside his X1 Race Cars, CML Transport, Kistler Engines, Big Red Truck Wash, STP Racing, Bobby Clark Racing, Shelluke’s Bar & Grill, Fremont Floor Covering, S&B Concrete & Excavating, Foster Auto Body, NAPA of Bryan, 87 Speed backed #32.
Mansfield, Ohio’s Kyle Moore seemed comfortable to cruise around the top five early in the 25-lap Whistle Stop Presents the Dirt Nerds Podcast Powered by Propane UMP Late Model feature. Mike Bores led the opening lap with JR Gentry taking over a lap later and pulled out to a substantial lead while Bores, Moore and Devin Shiels battled for second. When Gentry hit lapped traffic just past halfway, Moore shot to the high side of the track and closed, driving by Gentry on lap 16. Moore cruised to his second career Attica win over Gentry, Shiels, Bores and Colin Shipley.
“I wasn’t sure what the hell I was doing early in that race. I was like well I’m going to the top because this ain’t working. That track was hands down the best track I’ve ever been on. I have to thank my brother….man he’s been grinding from day one with me and Tye Tworg for giving me this hot rod. Hands down the best race car I’ve ever drove. My buddy Ben from Ankeny, Iowa. He helps us out a lot…crazy how we met but he helps a lot,” said Moore beside his Kepling Flooring, Tye Tworg Longhorn, Joyride Transportation, Smitley Towing, Short Stop, Malcuit Race Engines, Wilson Realty, Robin Jakubick, RL Bond Septic, Hepthorn Golf Cart Sales, House of Spud, K&B Septic Service, Coffman Composites, Team Midwest Paint, Platinum Design backed #1*.
Fremont, Ohio’s Jamie Miller is having a fantastic season. The four time and defending Attica 305 track champion led all 25 laps Friday to score fifth win of the year – the 44th of his career – at Attica Raceway Park. Coupled with his three wins at Fremont Speedway, Miller has eight total feature wins in 2024.
Following Miller to the checkers were Dustin Stroup, Brenden Torok, Jimmy McGrath and Steve Rando.
“Riehl Custom Fabrication Chassis are bad ass. If you aren’t in one you’re following one. This thing was good and I think I’m finally figuring out how to run the bottom,” said Miller beside his Boca Construction, JLH General Contractors, Kenny Kolb Farms, Tuck Pointing America, Queen of Clean, Smitty’s Pizza, Roberts & Sons Contracting, Pizza Wheel, Crown Battery, Reedtown Tavern, Fostoria Mod Shop, Sandy’s Dad, Gressman Powersports, Phil Rister, Slade Shock Technology backed #26.
