ATTICA, Ohio – In most sports, it can come down to who makes a mistake first to determine a winner. That was the case Saturday, April 11 as Attica Raceway Park kicked off the 2026 season with the NAPA Auto Parts All Star Circuit of Champions Presented by Valvoline Oil for the Core and Main Spring Nationals presented by Advanced Drainage Systems, Construction Equipment and Supply, Erie Black Top, Smith Paving.
Bryce Lucius looked headed to the win, but a bobble dealing with lapped traffic with just four laps to go on a narrow track opened the door for defending and four time track champion Cap Henry to slip by. Lucius wasn’t done, as he made it extremely interesting coming to the checkers, as Henry held on for a .071 second win over Lucius, Tim Shaffer, 10th starter Tyler Courtney and Zeth Sabo.
It was the 144th appearance of the All Stars at Attica as the series kicked off its 2026 racing campaign as well.
It marked Henry’s 13th career All Star win and his 29th career 410 Attica victory, placing him third on the track’s all-time win list in the division. Henry has also won the last five straight All Star features.
“We got lucky. Our car wasn’t that good all night but Zack (Myers) and the guys worked hard all night to get this thing better and put us in a position to capitalize. Bryce just made one mistake,” said Henry beside his Jeff Ward Demolition, Premier Planning Services, Elliott’s Custom Trailers and Carts, Tony Elliott Foundation, Primal Tee Shop, Innovative Excavating, Power Cool Manufacturing, Dyer’s Top Rods, Griff’s Engines backed #33W.
Lucius, who led laps 1-25, was understandably heart-broken.
“I gave it away in lapped traffic. I made one mistake and I will learn from it,” said Lucius beside his STP Motorsports, Kistler Engines, Smith Titanium, Maxim Chassis, Lucius Trucking, Truck Worx of Ohio backed #32.
In nearly an identical situation in the Fremont Fence 305 Sprint feature, Kasey Ziebold lead the first 11 laps but slipped up trying to get around a lapped car and Brenden Torok capitalized and drove to his first career Attica and dirt track sprint car win over Ziebold, defending track champion Seth Schneider, John Ivy and Bryan Sebetto.
“We’ve been working on this for so long. I can’t give a big enough thanks to everyone…my mom my dad my fiancée Tori and all my buddies. It’s a family deal…it’s me and my dad out in the garage every night. To finally get it….we’ve gotten second so many times,” said Torok beside his Modern Poured Walls, Beane Realtors, Greber Race Components, Dynatech, 5K Roofing, Milton Trucking, KMU Trucking, Grafton VFW Post 3341, Lorenzo’s Pizza, Schaefer’s Oil by Dennis Morlock, backed #2.
