Jimmy Colvin Wins Fremont FAST
It was also the second race of the year for the JLH General Contractors 305 Sprint FAST Championship Series presented by Engine Pro – the first of the year at Fremont . The season’s champion will earn $2,000.
For Bellevue , Ohio ’s Jimmy Colvin it was a night of redemption. On the first lap of last week’s Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 sprint feature Colvin took a nasty flip. He, his dad and crew worked all week to put his sprint car back together and it paid off. Colvin led all 25 laps but it wasn’t easy as defending track champion John Ivy raced him hard the final five laps.
“I don’t want to even talk about last week. It was one of those weeks when you get home from work at five o’clock and get back in the house and to bed at 10 o’clock just so we could get back out here this weekend. But this makes up for it. That was the longest 25 laps you could race when you know John Ivy is behind you. Especially when he sticks his nose inside of you and outside of you. Then we kind of got some good luck in lapped traffic. It was kind of one lane around the bottom but we held on for 25 laps,” said Colvin beside his Concealed Carry Classes/Greber Custom Powder Coating #9.
“I have to thank mom and dad…they are there every week no matter what. Whether we’re wadding a car up and spending all week in the shop or we’re sitting here on the front stretch,” added Colvin.
