By Andrew Barman and Brian Liskai

FREMONT, OHIO (July 13th)-It was another big night at Fremont Speedway on Baumann Auto Group Night. A total of 115 cars pack the Sandusky County Fairgrounds pit area. The 305 econo sprints had the high car count of the night with 41. The 410 sprints had 36 and the exciting dirt trucks had 38 sign into the pits. If you weren't able to get to "The Track That Action Built" this past Saturday you missed a heck of a night of racing. 

-More and more new 410 drivers made there way to Fremont Speedway this Saturday. Eric Hysong was back in the #12 car. Second generation driver Tom Conrad Jr. from Weston, Ohio made his first appearance at Fremont. That was only his seventh time in a sprint car. Leipsic, Ohio's Butch Schroeder in Charlie Brown's #99 made his way to Fremont Speedway also for the first
time this season.

-After taking 4 years off of racing after being injured in an incident at Oakshade Speedway, Willie Keegan from Green Springs got back behind the wheel, driving the #D5 305 sprint car which is usually driven by D.J. Oliver.

-Former pavement pounder Mark Pridemore made his initial appearance of the 2003 racing season at Fremont Speedway in the #25P 305 sprinter. 

-Troy Vaccaro unveiled a new Gambler chassis. Not only did he have a new car he also had a new paint job on the 7T.

-Chris Lang was back at Fremont Speedway after taking a pretty nasty flip 2 weeks ago. Chris hasn't had the best of luck at Fremont Speedway in the 2003 season. He went through 2 motors and has flipped once.

-Anybody that is interested in buying a pretty stout dirt truck get a hold of Rich Farmer driver if the #29 truck. He's trying to sell his truck so that he can buy a 305 Econo Sprint.

-The people with the Baumann Automotive Group had something really special on there night at the races. They wanted to give something back to the fans. 20 fans were picked from their admission tickets. They then went onto the track where they all pick a pill numbers 1-20, and what ever number you pick the driver that started in the position could have earned the fan as well as themselves an extra $500. Brenda Wise was the winner of the Baumann Automotive Bonus Program along with Rob Chaney who won a total $3,000.

-The 410 and the 305 sprint features went non-stop with no cautions or red flags.

-305 driver Roger Shammo will be celebrating a birthday on Tuesday. He will be turning the big 4-1!
