FREMONT, Ohio - A lot is on the line this Saturday, Sept. 12, at Fremont 
Speedway. Not only will "The Track That Action Built" crown its champions in 
the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprints, Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 
Sprints and the Fremont Fence Dirt Trucks, but the inaugural Kistler Racing 
Products Fremont Attica Sprint Title champion will also be decided.

The point battle is tight in all three divisions coming into the Kistler 
Racing Products Season Championship Night. In the 410 sprints, Brock Mayes, 
with his three feature wins in 2009, holds a slim 11 point lead over 
three-time and defending track champion Byron Reed. Current FAST 
Championship Series leader Craig Mintz is just 12 markers back. Mayes locks 
up the title with a fifth place or better finish.

While the battle at the top of the point standings is waged, there are close 
point battles throughout the top 15 as drivers try to crack the top 10 to 
share in the season-ending point fund.

In the 305 sprints, Todd Heuerman locks up the title with a win or a 
runner-up finish. However, 2005 and 2006 track champion Paul Weaver is only 
four points back, while defending champion Stuart Brubaker still has a shot, 
just 37 points back. If Heuerman does not make the A-main Saturday and 
Weaver qualifies for the feature, Weaver will win the title.

Again, positions 3-13 in the points could change hands as drivers seek to 
make the top 10 for the point fund monies.

In the dirt trucks, Steve Endicott, who has one feature victory in 2009, 
locks up the championship once he signs into the pit area and takes the 
green in a heat race. However, Art Ball, Bob Dible and defending titlist Jim 
McGrath are not mathematically eliminated as yet.

The FAST Championship Series - a separate point fund from both Attica 
Raceway Park and Fremont Speedway - will reward its champion $10,000 in 
prize money. Over the summer, point races were held at both dirt tracks, and 
Craig Mintz holds a 61 point lead over Byron Reed. But, as Reed can attest, 
anything can happen when it comes to dirt track racing. Reed looked to be 
crowned Attica's champion two weeks ago, only to experience some trouble in 
the feature, as the title then went to Chris Andrews.

The points are close throughout the top 15 as drivers work to share in the 
over $58,000 in cash and prizes in the Kistler Racing Products FAST Champion 
Series point fund.
