FREMONT, Oh. - It took a troll doll to help John Ivy
finally break into the victory column at Fremont Speedway
for 2001 on Saturday, June 16.
Piloting the Sid Eickelberry #20, Ivy scored four feature
wins at Fremont in 2000 with a troll doll fastened to the
roll cage. However, so far this year he had been shut out.
So, the team strapped another goodluck charm troll to the
cage and it paid off.
"I think we're back to where we should be," said
Ivy, who started third in the 22 car field. "My crew
gave me an awesome car tonight...it was easy to drive."
Behind Ivy were Lee Jacobs who had to win the C-Main and B-Main
to qualify for the 30-lap A, Mike Linder who started 11th,
John Wisbon, David Harrison, who came from the tail after
an early race spint; Boston Reed, Alvin Roepke, Bob Lime,
Troy Vaccaro and Ken Mackey.
In the 305 sprint feature, defending track champion Bryan
Scott overpowered the field to score his fifth win at Fremont
in 2001. Dustin Keegan ran second followed by Bobby Foster,
Chris Lang and Roger Shammo.
In the dirt truck's Tiffin's Jeff Hites scored his first win
of the season in exciting fashion. Coming down for the checkered
flag, Hites, Jay Boyd and Jeff Dougherty were side by side.
Hites is only the third driver to win a dirt truck A-Main
this season, as Steve Sabo and Dan Roepke had dominated.
