FREMONT, Ohio - Since leaving his World of Outlaws ride two weeks ago, Tim 
Shaffer is having fun again behind the wheel of a 410 sprint car. The 
Pennsylvania driver took over the duties of the Aaron Call #83 this week and 
is two-for-two after winning at Fremont Speedway Saturday, July 5. The Steel 
City Outlaw won the All Star Circuit of Champions race Friday in Indiana as 
well.

"After being out on the road these past years and then losing my ride....it 
was a little upsetting. Then I got in Bryan Grove's car for Speedweek and 
now Aaron Call and Brian Kemenah gave me a chance in this car and it's fun 
racing again. I'm back to my roots and I'm just having a blast," said 
Shaffer in the Engine Pro Victory Lane.

Shaffer earned $3,500 for the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprints' 40-lap 
feature on a night that was dedicated to the men and women who have served 
and are serving in the military.

The Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprints had a busy night, with a 
make-up feature from June 26 to be run along with the regular night's 
feature event. Earning their first career visits to the Engine Pro Victory 
Lane were McCutchenville's Travis Hoffbauer in the make-up event, and 
Tiffin's Duane Zablocki in the $1,000 win Coors Light feature.

Hoffbauer grabbed the lead on lap 11 and held off Matt Ferrill for the 
make-up feature win as Ohio Governor Ted Strickland looked on.

"This is the greatest moment of my life," said 17-year-old Hoffbauer beside 
his Hoffbauer Construction, Mountain Main Trading Post backed #82. "I saw 
that 01 (Bryan Sebetto) under me (on lap 17) and I thought I'd better gas'er 
up."

Zablocki led all 25 laps of the night's regular 305 sprint feature, but had 
to contend with a hard-charging Stuart Brubaker and lapped traffic the final 
five laps.

"We finally got a good starting spot and that helped. But my crew has been 
working their tails off and this weekend we turned things around," said 
Zablocki beside his Zablocki Construction, Jeff Haymon Excavating, Burns 
Electric backed car after taking second Friday at Attica Raceway Park as 
well. "Lapped traffic was not much fun tonight for me."

In the Fremont Fence Dirt Trucks, Steve Sabo inherited the lead on the third 
lap and held off challenges from Cory Ward, Jim McGrath and Dwight 
Waltermeier in a tremendous battle throughout the feature for his 27th 
career win at "The Track That Action Built. Sabo now sits 12th on Fremont 
Speedway's all-time career feature win list.

"Dave Gibbs, Dave Severs, my wife, my daughter...everyone has been working 
hard on this truck to get it better and we're getting there," said Sabo 
beside his Progressive Iron and Metal, Sabo Race Cars and Trucks backed #16.

Prior to the racing action, fans were treated to a day of fun and games at 
the historic Sandusky County Fairgrounds, thanks to all the branches of the 
armed services. The night included tributes by fans who purchased laps in 
memory or in support of military personnel both past and present, with the 
proceeds going to veterans services. Also, the 50-50 raffle saw over $2,500 
raised for the Jeremy Shock Foundation in honor of the Green Springs, Ohio 
soldier who was killed in Iraq. The funds will help with the installation of 
lights at ball fields in Shock's hometown. Fans were also treated to a 
fireworks display thanks to support from Wendt Key Team Realty, York 
Fabrication, CA Kustoms, Heinz USA, the Eagles Aerie, VFW, American Legion, 
Kmart, Crown Battery, Ludwig Propane, Fremont Federal Credit Union, Wendy's 
Restaurant, KF Ventures, Sweet Home Cafe, American Auto Sales, Baker 
Bonningson Auctioneers, the City of Fremont, and the Baumann Auto Group.

At the start of the 410 sprint feature, David Harrison looked to make it two 
big wins in a row, jumping into a commanding lead with Craig Mintz, Shaffer, 
Lee Jacobs and Dale Blaney in tow. As Harrison hit lapped traffic on lap 7, 
Mintz and Shaffer closed, setting up a great three car battle for the lead. 
Disaster struck for Harrison on lap 9, as he got into the back of John Ivy 
while trying to put him a lap down, sending Ivy flipping into turn three and 
Harrison to the pits with front end suspension damage.

Mintz was now the point man and he pulled away from Shaffer, with Jacobs, 
Blaney, Brock Mayes and Mike Linder locked into a great battle behind. By 
lap 15, Mintz had caught lapped traffic, allowing Shaffer to close and race 
side-by-side for the lead. A Brandon Martin spin on lap 17 gave Mintz a 
clear track and he once again built his lead while Jacobs, Blaney and Mike 
Linder waged a tremendous battle for third.

Following a lap 18 caution, Mintz would quickly catch the rear of the field 
by lap 26, again allowing Shaffer to close, while Blaney moved into third 
and began to challenge. On lap 28, Mintz and Shaffer were side by side with 
Blaney right on their rear bumper. Shaffer would use a lapped machine as a 
pick and drive under Mintz for the lead on lap 29. Shaffer used his 
experience to pick his way through traffic and would take the checkered over 
Mintz, Blaney, Mayes and Jacobs.

In the make-up 305 sprint feature, Matt Ferrell would grab the early lead 
with Hoffbauer, Matt Merrill and Coty Runion in tow. Merrill and Hoffbauer 
pulled away from the field and hit lapped traffic by the ninth circuit. 
Hoffbauer used the lapped machines to his advantage and driver under Ferrell 
for the lead on lap 11.

At the half-way mark, the car on the move was Bryan Sebetto who was up to 
third from his ninth starting spot. Following a lap 15 yellow, Sebetto 
quickly dispatched of Ferrell and began putting the pressure on Hoffbauer. 
Sebetto put a flyer on the youngster in turn three to take the lead on lap 
17, only to see the yellow displayed for a D.J. Foos spin. On the restart, 
Sebetto hauled it into turn one to attempt another pass of Hoffbauer...the 
rearend broke, sending him flipping into turn two.

With a clear track, Hoffbauer held off Ferrell for the win, with Merrill, 
Kevin Lee and rookie Zack Kramer rounding out the top five.

In the regular 305 sprint feature, Zablocki grabbed the lead from the drop 
of the green, with Cap Henry, Brad Haudenschild, Dustin Dinan and Bobby 
Clark in tow. Dinan, Henry and Clark would get together on the front stretch 
on the second lap, ending Henry and Clark's run with Dinan being sent 
pitside for rough driving.

Zablocki would continue to lead with pressure being applied by Haudenschild 
while Nate Dussel and Stuart Brubaker waging a great battle for third. 
Haudenschild's run would end on lap 7 when he slid off the high side of turn 
four. On the restart, Zablocki would pull away in the lead while Dussel and 
Brubaker continued their fight for second.

Brubaker would move into second on lap 10 and would begin to put pressure on 
Zablocki when they hit lapped traffic by lap 13. Dussel's run would end when 
he and Kramer made contact battling for third. With five laps remaining, 
Brubaker began to put pressure on Zablocki and they ran side by side the 
remaining distance.

At the checkered, Zablocki took the win over Brubaker, Kramer, Chad Wilson 
and Kevin Lee rounding out the top five.

In the dirt truck feature, Kent Brewer grabbed the initial lead, only to be 
sidelined with a flat tire. Dan Henning took the point and spun the next lap 
in turn two. Sabo then took the point and the battle was on. The entire 
distance of the race saw a great seven truck battle up front involving Sabo, 
Ward, Andy Maynard, Jim McGrath, Waltermeier, Danny Roepke and Jim Keegan.

By the ninth lap, Sabo, McGrath, Ward and Waltermeier were locked in a 
tremendous battle up front. At the halfway mark the running order was Sabo, 
McGrath, Ward, Waltermeier, Keegan, Maynard and Roepke.

Waltermeier would move into second on lap 14 and challenge Sabo for the 
lead. Sabo would gradually pull away for the win with Waltermeier, Ward, 
McGrath and Roepke rounding out the top five.
