FREMONT, Ohio - Ryan Missler scored his first career Sunoco American Late 
Model Series victory at Fremont Speedway Saturday on Beck Oil Night. The 
Bellevue, Ohio driver led all 30 laps, but had to withstand several challenge 
on restarts to take his second career win at "The Track That Action Built."

Paul Weaver battled side-by-side with Stuart Brubaker throughout the 25 laps 
of the Fremont Fence 305 Sprint feature before securing his 24th career 
Fremont win and the second of 2009 at his home track. Weaver's visit to the 
Engine Pro Victory Lane moves him into a tie for 16th on the track's 
all-time win list with Johnny Beaber.

Castalia, Ohio's Dan Hennig used the track's high side to power into the 
lead on lap nine of the Fremont Fence Dirt Truck's A-main and went on to 
score his second win of the season and third career Fremont victory.

"I tried to do something different every time so they couldn't get a run on 
me going into one. This thing was a handful...the track was fast. We got a 
little motor in here, I can't believe we stayed out in front," said Missler 
beside his Missler Industries, Taze D.J. and Karaoke, Hawk's Auto 
Reconditioning backed late model.

"I knew there in lapped traffic I screwed up and someone had to be close 
(Ryan VanderVeen). I just had to refocus. I have to thank everyone on my 
crew, Dave Golick and my dad and Jerry Huff and everybody that helps out in 
the shop," added Missler, in the Engine Pro Victory Lane.

Weaver waited until the 21st lap to take the lead away from Brubaker, who 
didn't go away easily and fought to his inside the last three laps. Weaver 
kept up his momentum to end up in the Engine Pro Victory Lane.

"When you catch lapped traffic, it's good to be in second and you go in wide 
open and hope for the best," said Weaver beside his Ludwig Propane, M&L 
Excavating, Genzman Enterprises backed #1w.

The truck feature was a barn-burner as usual, with Jim McGrath and Hennig 
battling all the way until lap 17 when McGrath lost power. Hennig was very 
tough on the high side and pulled away for the win.

"This thing just hooked up. We put a set-up on this a little different than 
what we usually do...something that worked last week that got me to fourth 
after starting way in the back and it worked again tonight," said Hennig 
beside his Reidy's Auto World, Level Performance APD Carburetors, York 
Fabrication backed truck. "I made a pass down on the bottom and it stuck 
there too... I'll go anywhere. I like to thank all my team...they work so 
hard."

In the special promoters challenge race, Fremont Speedway Promoters Rich 
Farmer and Andy James finished first and second in their 305 sprints against 
Attica Raceway Park Promoter John Bores and his son, Mike, in their late 
models. The match-race moves to Attica on July 31.

At the drop of the green in the 30-lap late model feature, Missler served 
notice he was the driver to beat as he pulled away while VanderVeen, Jerry 
Bowersock, Eric Spangler and Brian Ruhlman raced hard for second. Miller 
would hit lapped traffic by lap 8 while all eyes were on the tremendous 
battle for second between Bowersock, VanderVeen and Ruhlman, with those 
positions changing every lap. The first caution flew on lap 15 with the 
running order Missler, VanderVeen, Ruhlman, Bowersock and a charging Ky 
Harper. A spat of cautions would slow the pace over the next four laps. And 
just when he was about to mount a challenge of Missler, VanderVeen went 
pitside with mechanical woes.

With 10 laps remaining and a clear track, Missler would pull away, while the 
action continued to heat up for second between Ruhlman, Bowersock and 
Harper. Another caution with five to go would bunch up the field, but once 
again Missler would use a different approach to the restart and would pull 
away. Another caution a lap later with the same results - Missler pulling 
away, but Ruhlman, Harper, Bowersock and Eric Spangler would race hard for 
second.

At the checkered, Missler had a five-car length advantage over Ruhlman, 
Harper, Bowersock, and Kerry Mathew, who really came on the last seven laps 
from his 13th starting spot.

After a wild start to the 305 sprint feature that saw Chuck Wilson and Tim 
Kern get upside down, also collecting Shawn Valenti, Bobby Clark and Josh 
Muntz ( Valenti, Clark and Muntz were able to restart), it would go green 
the rest of the way. Brubaker would pull away with the initial lead while 
Todd Heuerman, Dan Hammond, Weaver and John Ivy raced behind for second. 
Brubaker would hit lapped traffic on lap seven, while a tremendous battle 
ensued for second between Heuerman and Weaver.

Weaver would move into second on lap eight, but seemed unable to close the 
distance to Brubaker...that is until the leader got into heavy lapped 
traffic who were racing side-by-side in front of him. Weaver, using the high 
line, closed quickly, while Heuerman now had his hands full with John Ivy 
and Jimmy Colvin for third. With nine laps remaining, Weaver was now racing 
side-by-side with Brubaker for the lead. Weaver would drive around Brubaker 
in turns three and four on lap 21 to take the lead. Brubaker wouldn't give 
up and fought back to continue to race Weaver hard right to the checkered. 
Heuerman would take third with Colvin grabbing fourth and Ivy rounding out 
the top five.

McGrath would jump into the lead at the drop of the green in the 20-lap dirt 
truck feature with Loren Schwochow in second, Bob Dible, Steve Endicott and 
Hennig rounding out the top five. Following a lap one caution that involved 
four trucks, McGrath would drive away from the field while Schwochow had his 
hands full with Hennig and Art Ball. Hennig would grab second on lap four 
and put pressure on McGrath a lap later. But the action would come to a half 
on lap seven for a Jimmy McGrath Jr. caution. But once the green flew again, 
the great race up front resumed between McGrath and Hennig. Hennig would 
take the lead on lap nine, while McGrath stayed close and 10th place starter 
Paul Brown Jr. took third from Ball.

Hennig would hit lapped traffic on lap 11, but it was strung out, allowing 
him to pick his line, but he still couldn't shake McGrath. Following a 
caution on lap 18, McGrath would go pitside with something amiss (he would 
rejoin the field, but on the tail). Hennig was able to pull away the final 
three laps for the victory, while Brown, Ball, Endicott and Kent Brewer 
rounding out the top five.

Fremont Speedway will be back in action Saturday, July 25 on Ludwig Propane 
Night with the Fortball Pizza Palace 410 Sprints, Fremont Federal Credit 
Union 305 Sprints and Fremont Fence Dirt trucks in action. For details go to
