Zeth Sabo won his first NAPA Auto Parts All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Valvoline
feature on Saturday during night two of the 44th Annual Overwatch Precision Ohio Sprint
Speedweek presented by Kistler Engines & Racing Parts at Sharon Speedway.
Ryan Newton, bouncing back from issues in the feature at Attica Raceway Park on Friday night,
led the feature to the green flag. But Sabo, who started in fourth position, didn’t waste any time
by passing veteran All Star drivers Dale Blaney and Tim Shaffer in turn 2 of lap one, putting him
into second place. A mere two laps later, Sabo overtook Newton for the lead.
The first caution of the feature came on lap 17 when Newton’s right rear tire started going down.
He slowed in turn 2 and collected the 49x of Cale Thomas. Both cars headed to the Grit Work
Area for repairs.
On the restart, Blaney, living up to the Lowrider nickname, battled with Sabo as Leyton Wagner
started to work his way into the top five. The 45 of Devon Borden made moves and cracked the
top three to race Blaney for the second spot.
With five laps to go, Creed Kemenah and Zane DeVault tangled in turn 3, bringing out the only
red flag of the night. The incident ended Kemenah’s night.
On the final restart of the night, Sabo pulled away from Blaney and Borden. As Sabo pulled
away from the field with 3 laps to go, Wagner passed Borden for third place. And that’s how
they’d finish.
“Man, I’m speechless. I thought Dale had me on that one restart. He just would not go away,”
Sabo said in the Gates Corporation Victory Lane. “Hats off to my guys. They’ve been working
their butts off lately. I’’m glad we finally got one, and for it to be an All Star win is pretty cool.”
Next up is Night Three of the 44th Annual Ohio Sprint Speedweek presented by Kistler Engines
& Racing Products at Millstream Speedway in Findlay. Pit gates open at 2 PM. More information
