FREMONT, Ohio - Call it the Bellevue, Ohio connection. Cap Henry and Mike 
Bores took their first checkered flags at Fremont Speedway Saturday on 
Hillside Billiards and Underground Utilities Inc. Night. Henry's win came in 
the Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprints while Bores' victory was in the 
ARP Late Models. Defending Fremont Speedway track champion Cory Ward - whose 
crew chief, his father, Jim Ward lives in Bellevue - took the checkers in 
the Fremont Fence Dirt Truck feature.

Henry first had the lead, then lost it and then regained it with just three 
laps remaining to get his first career victory at "The Track That Action 
Built.

"I found that low groove right before the red (on lap 11) and knew I had 
something," said Henry in the Engine Pro Victory Lane. "But, Brad (Keckler) 
took off on that restart and with five to go I was thinking second wouldn't 
be all that bad."

"This makes up for all the bad luck we've had here this year," added Henry 
beside his G-Force Racing Gear, J&H Concrete, HMS Speedway backed #04.

Bores led all 20 laps in the late model main, but had a close call with 
lapped traffic  the last couple of laps.

"When I got into lapped traffic I kept telling myself 'oh boy...don't spin 
out.' I've never won at Fremont...this is awesome," said Bores who received 
an extra $100 from Smith Auto Recycling.

"Starting up front helped...I just had to make sure I didn't screw up and 
hit the cushion just right," added Bores beside his York Fabrication, UUI 
backed late model.

Ward took the lead on lap 10 when early leader Dave Gibbs had to go pitside 
with a flat tire. Then he held off late race challenges by Jimmy McGrath to 
get his 9th win at the historic speedway.

"After that last yellow I moved down just a smidge hoping it would work out 
and it did," said Ward in the Engine Pro Victory Lane beside his Budweiser, 
Excuses Lounge, Lakeshore Drywall backed truck. "I realized after 18 
laps...I'm gettin kind of fat," he joked.

In the 25-lap 305 sprint main, Henry bolted into the early lead with Brad 
Keckler, Shawn Valenti and Steve Rando in tow. Keckler would drive under 
Henry for the lead when the teen bobbled ever so slightly in turn four. 
Keckler benefited with a yellow flag on lap 11 just as he was going to get 
into heavy lapped traffic.

Keckler pulled away on the restart with Henry comfortably in second, with 
eighth place starter Kevin Lee moving into third. The action would grind to 
a halt a lap latter when Dustin Dinan got together with Rando and flipped 
into turn one.Once again on the restart, Keckler pulled away while Henry and 
Lee followed in his tire tracks and Brad Bowman, Valenti and Stuart Brubaker 
putting on a heck of a show for fourth.

With five laps to go, Henry began to reel Keckler in. The pair raced side by 
side the next two laps before Henry drove under Keckler exiting turn two for 
the lead. Following Henry across the finish line were Keckler, Lee, Brubaker 
and Nate Dussel.

In the 20-lap late model main, Bores jumped into the lead from his pole 
starting spot with John Mayes Jr. and Ernie Haynes following in his tire 
tracks. Bores hit lapped traffic by lap 13, allowing Mayes to close on his 
rear bumper. Mayes would look under Bores several times but could not pull 
off the pass. Bores had several close calls with traffic the last three 
laps, but hung on for the win with Mayes, Haynes, Larry Kingseed and Ken 
Hahn rounding out the top five.

In the 20-lap dirt truck feature, Dave Gibbs grabbed the early lead with 
Kent Brewer, Art Ball and Cory Ward battling hard behind. Ward would move 
into the second spot on lap four, but could not chase down Gibbs. When the 
yellow flew on lap 9 for Loren Schwochow and Dave Brewer, Gibbs exiting the 
track with a flat tire.

Ward wasted no time building up a lead over Ball and Jim McGrath Jr. The 
action behind Ward was hot and heavy between McGrath, Ball, Dwight 
Waltermeier, Jim McGrath Sr. and Andy Maynard. McGrath Jr. would move into 
second on lap 12 and would dive under Ward nearly every lap but could not 
pull off the pass.

At the checkers it was Ward over McGrath Jr., Ball, Waltermeier and Steve 
Sabo who came from deep in the pack.

Fremont Speedway will be back in action Saturday, June 7 when Ronald 
McDonald pays a visit. The Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprints; Fremont 
Federal Credit Union 305 Sprints; and Fremont Fence Dirt Trucks will be on 
the racing card.
