55th YEAR
Lasoski takes Fremont NST loot

By Brian Liskai

FREMONT, Ohio  (Tuesday, June 6, 2006) - Many wondered why a former World of Outlaws champion and many time Knoxville Raceway track champion would pay a visit to Fremont Speedway on a regular Saturday night show  a few weeks ago.

"The Dude from Dover" showed why Tuesday night, taking the Kistler Engines Presents the Chuck Kear Memorial National Sprint Tour victory and the $10,000 pay day that went with it at "The Track That Action Built." It was only Lasoski's second appearance at the tricky third-mile clay oval.

"That's exactly why we came here a couple of weeks ago. We were told this place is a tough race track to figure out. You have to be smooth and know how to work the throttle," said Lasoski. "We tried an experimental Hoosier tire and it worked great."

"It's so good to win this at Paul Kistler's home town in front of these great fans," Lasoski added about his engine builder as he stood in victory lane beside his Roth Motorsports Beefpackers #83..

Aliquippa, Pa's Tim Shaffer jumped into the early lead at the start of the race from the inside lane. While most drivers moved to the bottom of the track, Burgoon, Ohio's David Harrison utilized the outside groove to move from sixth and around Shaffer for the lead on lap five. The opening laps were marred by a couple of yellow flags and a red for NST point leader Tim Kaeding.

Harrison, who destroyed a car the previous week at Fremont, led until lap 12 when Shaffer moved back around for the top spot in his Parsons Racing Kasey's General Store #6. Shaffer would lead the next four laps before Lasoski could follow Harrison's lead and move up top to take the lead on lap 18. The Dude would slice his way through lapped traffic to lead the remaining 22 laps for his third NST win of the year.

Harrison, aboard the Doug Ludwig Motorsports Crown Battery sponsored #10 would get back around Shaffer for second, with eighth place starting Butch Schroeder coming home third, 22nd starting Dale Blaney fourth, and Shaffer rounding out the top five.

"This is a three-year-old car and we won a lot of races in it...it's amazing," said Harrison. "To come back from destroying a car and having a concussion...this crew worked their tails off and I can't thank the Ludwigs enought for sticking with us."

The Coors Light Dirt Trucks were split into two feature events (odds and evens in then points) and both 20-laps affairs were entertaining. Fostoria's Bob Dible scored his second win of the season in the first feature, with Dwight Waltermeier winning the second in thrilling fashion.

 Fremont Speedway will be back in action Saturday, June 10 with Crown Battery Night featuring the Fort Ball Pizza 410 sprints; Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprints; and the Coors Light Dirt Trucks.
