FREMONT, Ohio (June 11, 2005) - Rob Chaney went from third to victory lane in the last half lap of the 410 sprint feature at Fremont Speedway Saturday night leaving the large crowd all saying WOW! disbelieving what they had just witnessed.
 
"We took the white and I got to Brandon (Martin) and I figured we'd settle for second. Then we get into three and I see Mark (Keegan) take the middle with lapped cars right ahead of him and it was just what I wanted," said the Millersburg driver. "When you get into lapped traffic at Fremont it's usually better to be in second place because the leader has to make the decision what line to take and you can react to that."
 
"I have to thank Stan Courtad for sticking with me through thick and thin. I also have to thank Scott Miller and A.J. Havens who bust their tails all week on this thing," said Chaney.
 
It was eight-time Fremont Speedway champion Mark Keegan who bolted into the lead from his outside front row starting spot at the drop of the green. Keegan led the way when the first caution flew on lap 8 for an Alvin Roepke spin. On the restart, Keegan started getting pressure from Brandon Martin, whose crew spent all of Friday night assembling a new car after he crashed the night before. The red flew on lap 19 for a Caleb Griffith tip over with the running order Keegan, Martin, Chaney and Mike Linder, who came from 13th starting spot.
 
On the restart, Keegan again set sail around the top side of the tacky clay oval. It looked like Keegan would pick up his 59th career win when they took the white flag, but Martin and Chaney were closing as Keegan was forced race behind lapped traffic who were racing side by side for position ahead of him. Chaney passed Martin coming out of turn two and was on Keegan's bumper entering three when Keegan had to slow ever so slightly for the lapped traffic, allowing Chaney to diamond off the corner and pass him for the win. 
 
Behind Chaney - who became the first two-time winner at "The Track That Action Built" on Wendy's Old Fashion Hamburger Night - were Keegan, Martin, Linder, Byron Reed, Leey Jacobs, John Ivy (up from 20th), Jason Dukes, Craig Mintz and David Harrison.
 
Fremont's Daniel Smith won his first ever 305 sprint feature at Fremont Speedway in a crash-filled event that had three red flags (for A.J. Sleek, Todd Heuerman and Jamie Miller (his second flip of the night)) and a caution.
 
At the drop of the green, Andy Shammo jumped into the lead, with Roger Shammo on his bumper and Bryan Scott in third. Scott disposed of Roger Shammo and was on the rear bumper of Andy when the two touched exiting turn two on lap six, sending both spinning and giving the lead to Smith. Smith, aboard the Mominee Motorsports #72, held the top spot while all eyes were on Paul Weaver who moved into third on lap nine and around Roger Shammo two laps later. But, Smith maintained his middle-of-the-track groove and went on to the win.
 
"I can't believe this...I never thougth I'd ever get a win here...this is my second victory...I won at Lakeville a couple of years ago, but this is my hometown and to do this in front of my friends and family is just awesome," said Smith. "I have to thank Scott and Jody Mominee for giving me the equipment to race and to Rainbow Lanes and Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken and the Tackle Box for their sponsorship."
 
Behind Smith at the finish were Weaver, Scott, who came back from the tail from his early race spin, Roger Shammo, Kevin Lee, Bobby Foster, Ryan Lowe, Andy Shammo, Dustin Dinan[ and Barry Cole.
 
It was a wild finish in the Coors Light Dirt Trucks, as Woodville's Dan Roepke held off Paul Dyamond for his second win of the season. Behind Roepke and Dymond were Art Howey Jr., J-Jim Welty, Ron Kepling, Dwight Waltermier, Andy Maynard, Ralph Willey, Steve Sabo and Brain Sorg.
 
"That was hard work tonight...the track was really fast and I had my hands full," said Roepke beside his Village Inn, Adler's Transmission truck.
 
Fremont Speedway will be back in action Saturday, June 18 for Baumann Auto Group Night with the 410 sprints, 305 sprints and Coors Light Dirt Trucks.
