FREMONT, Ohio (Saturday, July 28, 2007) - Byron Reed gave his dad, Sam, a 
great birthday present Saturday at Fremont Speedway - a 410 sprint victory 
on Custom Chrome Plating Night!

Reed, who started 8th after setting quick time in qualifications, battled 
with John Ivy the last 8 laps before claiming his third win of the season. 
It was the Monclova, Ohio driver's 13th career victory at "The Track That 
Action Built" in the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprints. He currently leads 
the track's point standings.

It's been so long since his first feature win, Fostoria's Chris Lang 
couldn't remember when it happened. He'll have no problem remembering his 
latest though, as he took the checkered flag in the Fremont Federal Credit 
Union 305 Sprints feature for his second career victory at Fremont Speedway.

Once again, the Fremont Fence Dirt Trucks put on a whale of a show, as five 
trucks battled for the lead the last five laps. At the checkered, it was 
Risingson's Shawn Valenti taking his third win of the season.

"I usually don't qualify that well and that puts us behind the eight ball. 
That was one of those deals where it was better to be in second late in the 
race. We're really getting around this place well now," said Reed in the 
Engine Pro Victory Lane next to his ProShocks/Reebar Diecasting backed 
sprint car.

"What an incredible night. We won our heat, won the dash and now the 
feature. I can't remember the first win, but I'll definitely remember this 
one," said Lang from the Engine Pro Victory Lane beside his Wendt Key Team 
Realty/Burns Electric/Eric McCormick Trucking/Bright.net sponsored #29.

"This truck just likes the high side. Once I got into the lead I knew I 
wasn't coming down from there...someone was going to have to drive under me 
to get me," said Valenti beside his Kern Tool, Dymond Motorsports & 
Fabrication sponsored #28 truck in the Engine Pro Victory Lane.

Bryan Sebetto, in his new 410 ride, grabbed the early lead from his outside 
front row starting spot, with Scott Euler, Caleb Griffith, John Ivy and Mike 
Linder in tow. Action would grind to a halt on lap 3 for a Todd Heller tip 
over.

Sebetto would set sale on the restart, with Griffith and Ivy right on his 
rear bumper. Ivy would move into second on lap 5 and would grab the lead two 
circuits later getting under Sebetto exiting turn 4. Ivy would continue to 
lead, with the action for second now heating up between Sebetto and 
Griffith, with Reed moving into fourth. Griffith would move into second on 
lap 13, with Reed moving into third at the half way mark.

The caution would fly on lap 16 when David Harrison and Sebetto got 
together, sending both pitside. On the restart, Ivy would continue to lead, 
with Griffith and Reed closing. Reed would grab the runner-up spot on lap 18 
and began putting pressure on Ivy. After a yellow followed by a red for last 
week's winner Troy Vaccaro's tip over, the racing action up front began to 
heat up.

Ivy and Reed raced side by side from lap 22 to the end. Reed would get under 
Ivy to take the top spot on lap 27. The duo would nearly collide racing for 
the lead exiting turn 2 a lap later.

At the checkered it was Reed by a less than a car length over Ivy and 
Griffith, with Brandon Martin and 11th-starter Mark Keegan rounding out the 
top five. Ivy would later be disqualified after his car failed to meet the 
minimum weight of 1,375 pounds.

In the 25-lap 305 sprint feature, Lang would grab the initial lead from his 
pole-starting spot, with Chad Gullett, Benny Bowman, Mark Pridemore and 
Stuart Brubaker in tow. Brubaker, who scored his first career victory last 
week, was the car on the move, as he vaulted into second on lap 5 and would 
grab the lead two laps later.

Brubaker looked like he was headed to another win until disaster hit on lap 
13. Matt Merrill would flip in front of Brubaker, collecting the leader and 
ending his run. That gave the lead back to Lang, with Gullett, 10th-starter 
Andy Shammo, Bowman and Coty Runion rounding out the top five.

Lang would continue to ride the rim out front, as Gullett raced on his rear 
bumper. Shammo would slide off the high side of turn 2 with five laps 
remaining, putting Heuerman into third. With just 3 laps remaining, Lang, 
Gullett and Heuerman battled for the lead. Lang would hit the checkered 
first, with Gullett, Heuerman, Shammo and Kevin Lee rounding out the top 
five.

Andy Maynard would grab the initial lead at the start of the 20-lap dirt 
truck feature, with Valenti, Bob Dible, Jim McGrath and Chuck Roelle in tow. 
Things heated up by lap 9, with Valenti, McGrath, Maynard, point-leader Cory 
Ward, Dible and defending track champion Brian Arnold battling.

Valenti would grab the lead on lap 10, with McGrath and Ward making it a 
three-wide battle. Ward would move into second on lap 11 and would take a 
peak under Valenti the remaining nine laps. Valenti was too strong up top 
and he powered to the victory, with Ward, McGrath, Dible and Arnold rounding 
out the top five.

Fremont Speedway will be back in action Saturday, Aug. 4 on Wilhelm Auto 
Parts Night featuring the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprints; Fremont 
Federal Credit Union 305 Sprints; and the Fremont Fence Dirt Trucks. Once 
again the "Deal or No Deal" will be in affect for the 410 sprint feature 
whereby the pole-sitter can opt to start 13th and if he wins collect a 
$2,500 bonus for a potential $5,000 pay day!
