FREMONT,
Ohio - Zack Kramer became the
fourth and final leader in the
Engine Pro NRA 360/305 shootout on
Auto Value Group Night at Fremont
Speedway Saturday. Not to be
outdone, Chris Andrews was the
fifth and final leader in the Fort
Ball Pizza Palace 410 sprint 30
lap feature.
Kramer’s
win came in the Tackle Box 2,
Youngs Breading & Batter Mix,
McDonalds sponsored 305 sprint as
the Fremont Speedway regulars
again held court against the 360
cubic inch traveling series,
sweeping the top four positions.
It was Kramer’s fourth career win
at “The Track That Action Built.”
The Fremont,
Ohio
native has only competed in a
handful of races in 2012.
Kramer
thanked Al Davis and the entire 8k
crew, along with his family for
believing in him and sticking with
him.
Andrews
picked up his first 410 win of the
season in the Lucas Oil, K&N
Filters Steven Mapus Productive
Tools, Adkins Sanitation, Tender
Touch Car Wash sponsored
Burmeister Racing entry. It was
also his fourth career win at
Fremont Speedway.
“I want to
thank Hoosier Tires and also
Goodyear. We ran an old Goodyear
spec tire…from like 2006, on the
right rear and it worked,” said
Andrews in the Engine
Pro Victory Lane.
“I have to thank Sonny and Sharon
Burmeister and the whole
Burmeister Family for stick with
me. We’ve had some horrible luck
this year even though we’ve been
fast. I also have to thank Mike
Sommers for ALL of his hard work.
No one in this pits works harder
than he does and I’m glad I could
finally reward him for that. Also,
my hats off to Rich Farmer
(Fremont Speedway Promoter). He
has taken a lot of heat this year
for the track conditions. I’ve
seen how hard he works on this
place and he had it beautiful
tonight.”
Dennis
Yoakam would take the early lead
in the NRA feature, easily
out-distancing front row mate
Jamie Miller. Yoakam would
continue to extend his lead by a
full straightaway while Todd
Heuerman fought with Miller for
second. Yoakam’s dominant early
run quickly turned sour on lap
seven as he clipped a spinning car
that was about to be lapped. On
the restart, the running order was
Miller, Heuerman, John Ivy, Hud
Horton, and Kramer. Kramer made
quick work of Heuerman to make it
a three car battle up front. Ivy
slid in front of Miller on lap ten
and Kramer did the same one lap
later. Horton would bring out the
caution on lap 12 after making
contact with Miller.
The
ensuring restart saw Ivy and
Kramer locked into a nose-to-tail
duel while D.J. Foos was charging
from a 15th place
starting position into the top
three. Ivy and Kramer traded slide
jobs on laps 15 and 16 before
Kramer secured the top position.
With five laps to go, the running
order behind the lead trio was
Beau Stewart and Alvin Roepke (up
from 16th). However,
Roepke caught in inside tire
barrier with three laps to go,
handing the fifth spot to Steve
Rando. Kramer checked out on the
last restart to claim the $1,500
top prize over Ivy, Foos, Rando
and Stewart.
Mike
Linder led the first four laps of
the 410 sprint feature before
Brian Smith wrestled the lead
away. While Smith and Linder waged
their battle, Cole Duncan sat in
third ahead of Craig Mintz and
Broc Martin. By lap six, the young
Oklahoma
speedster Christopher Bell had
cracked the top five after
starting 11th. Bell
then quickly moved into the second
position behind Smith by lap ten.
Duncan
would pass Linder, Bell,
and leader Smith on three
successive laps to hold the top
spot at lap 13. A caution at lap
15 saw the running order Duncan,
Smith, Bell,
Mintz, and Linder.
On
the restart, Bell
spun in turn two, ending his
run in the top five. Mintz now
showed his muscle, passing
Smith for second. On a lap 17
restart, Mintz blew past Duncan
for the lead as Andrews began
his charge. By lap 20, Andrews
had run up to the second spot
behind Mintz and passed him
with five laps to go. Just as
Andrews was reaching lapped
traffic, the caution flew for
the final time at lap 26.
Andrews easily pulled away for
the win over Mintz, Duncan,
Rob Chaney, and Todd Heller.
