Fremont, Ohio (August 10th)-Day one of a two race weekend happened at the New Fremont Speedway in Fremont, Ohio on Friday night. It was the Schiets Motors/Honda Night with the 410 Sprinters, 305 Econo Sprints, and the famous Dirt Trucks at the “Track That Action Built!” 37 410s made their way to the 1/3 mile clay ovall. The 305 Econo Sprints had 27 and the dirt trucks had 30 in the pit area.

The driver that set fast time at Fremont Speedway in the 410 Sprints was John Wisbon driver of the #16 Burmeister car. The heat races went to the 21 of Rodney Morgan, the 9 of Phil Gressman, the 22D of Rodney Duncan, and the 92 of Mark Keegan.

In the A-Main for the 410 Sprints, Chuck Wilson and Kelly Kinser started on the front row. When the green flag flew, Wilson jumped out to the early lead with Roepke and Gressman right in tow. With about 10 laps in the book, Gressman took over the lead from Wilson and started to pull away from the rest of the field. On about lap 15, the 9c of Tim Crawley spun and tapped the turn 4 wall to bring out the yellow. On the restart, Rodney Duncan got a great jump and moved into the 2nd spot. As the laps wound down, it became a two car race for the lead between Gressman and Duncan. With 5 laps to go, Duncan and Gressman raced side by side around the entire race track until the last lap when Duncan was able to use the lapped car of Chuck Wilson as a pick to go on to take the win. Finishing a close second was Phil Gressman, third was Greg Wilson, fourth was Mark Keegan, fifth went to Kelly Kinser, sixth was Alvin Roepke, seventh was John Wisbon, eighth was John Ivy, ninth was David Harrison, and rounding out the top ten was Todd Heller.
