For the third time in his career, Craig Mintz visited the Gates Corporation Victory Lane on night
one of the 44th Annual Ohio Sprint Speedweek presented by Kistler Engines & Racing Products
at Attica Raceway Park.
The 35-lap feature started with Cap Henry taking a commanding lead. On lap three, Henry’s
1.8-second lead was wiped out when TJ Michael and Zane DeVault slowed with a flat left-rear
and right-rear, respectively, bringing out the first caution of the night.
Henry pulled away from the field on the restart before the 38 of Leyton Wagner spun in turn four
to bring out the second caution of the night.
Again, Henry took the lead as Zeth Sabo, Parker Price-Miller and Craig Mintz battled for spots
third through fifth. As he pulled away from the field yet again, the caution came out on lap six for
Cale Thomas and Trey Jacobs spinning in turn one.
On the restart on lap six, Henry again took the lead, but Ryan Newton was on the hunt for more
than second place. Newton kept Henry’s lead to just around a second as Henry got into lapped
traffic. Meanwhile, Mintz took advantage of the long stretch of green-flag laps, making his way
up to fourth place as the caution came out again on lap 14 for Darin Naida spinning in turn
three.

With 21 to go, the green came back out, but not for long, when Newton and Henry came
together coming out of turn four, putting Newton into the fence and Henry to the Grit Work Area
with a flat right-rear. Henry rejoined the field, but the incident ended Newton’s night.
Parker Price-Miller inherited the lead on the restart, followed by Mintz, Sabo, K. Henry, and
Gauge Garcia.
Mintz took the lead from Price-Miller coming out of turn 2 on the restart. And that was all she
wrote. Mintz pulled away from the field and led the last 21 laps of the feature. Price-Miller and
Sabo rounded out the top three.
“The last 10 laps, I was bleeding,” Mintz said in the Gates Corporation Victory Lane. “These
guys still believe in me. I’m not racing as much, and you know here we are able to win. I really
wanted to battle the 33W. He’s been really, really, really good, so it sucks to see him get into
that situation, but sometimes, you better be luckier than good.”
