Courtney Sweeps All Star Weekend at Attica
ATTICA, Ohio – While the temperatures were chilly Saturday, April 16 at Attica Raceway Park, Indianapolis, Indiana’s Tyler “Sun Shine” Courtney warmed the windy air, dominating the Tezos All Star Circuit of Champions presented by Mobil 1 feature event to sweep Core & Main Spring Nationals presented by Craig Miller Trucking, Construction Equipment and Supply and Erie Paving.
Courtney, the defending All Star champion, led all 30 laps for his second ever feature win at Attica and the 11th career All Star win of his career. Courtney becomes only the second driver in the history of the Attica Spring Nationals to accomplish the weekend sweep. Former All Star champion Frankie Kerr was the only other driver to accomplish the feat, that coming in the inaugural event in 1992.
“It was a little tricky. The wind kind of changed directions there a couple times during the race. Trying not to blow it off the top in one and two was getting a little tricky. When we got to traffic the dust kind of just stayed in the air. Trying to figure out where the lapped cars were going to go was tricky too. Jake and all the boys have been working their tails off all winter. We had a decent Florida but had a really bad last weekend but to come out this weekend and start our All Star defense and come out with two wins and put our NOS Energy Drink car where it belongs is a really good feeling and to hopefully some momentum we can carry to start the summer here,” said Courtney of his NOS Energy Drink, ZMAX, Elliott’s Custom Trailers, and Carts backed #7BC.
Defending and three-time Fremont Fence 305 Sprint champion Jamie Miller led all 25 laps to score his 32nd career victory at Attica, holding off all-time winningest Attica Raceway Park driver Paul Weaver.
“We had Maxim build us a new car like the previous one and they did a fantastic job. This car was just fantastic,” said Miller beside his Smitty’s Pizza, JLH General Contractor, Queen of Clean, Rohr Total Lawn Care, Sonic Hauling, Phil Rister, Sloopy’s Pizza, Reedtown Tavern, Crown Battery, Schreiner Farms, Roberts & Sons Contracting, Fostoria Mod Shop, Kenny Kalb Farms backed #26.
Courtney jumped into the early lead of the 30-lap All Star feature with Zeb Wise, who scored an All Star win to close out Attica’s season in 2021, followed in second with Cole Duncan, Cory Eliason, Bill Balog and Hunter Schuerenberg in tow. While Courtney and Wise pulled away, Duncan, Eliason, and Balog battled hard for third.
Action ground to a half on lap five when Friday night’s third-place finisher Craig Mintz tipped over. His team was able to make repairs and he continued. With a clear track Courtney again built a substantial lead over Wise as Duncan settled into third. While battling for eighth, Scott Bogucki tangled with Travis Philo with Byron Reed getting caught up in the melee on lap 10 and ending up on his side.
Once again when the green flew so did Courtney, who set a blistering pace, encountering lapped traffic just five circuits later at the halfway point. Courtney made some great, daring moves in lapped traffic and drove away to the victory over Wise, Duncan, Eliason, and Schuerenberg.
Miller bolted out to the early lead in the 305 sprint feature over Kasey Jedrzejek, Shawn Valenti, Jimmy McGrath Jr. and Seth Schneider. A pair of cautions in the first 10 laps kept the field close but each restart saw Miller pull away as Valenti grabbed second on lap three and Schneider moving into third two laps later. The car on the move was Bryan Sebetto as he drove from 18th to seventh by lap 10. However, Sebetto would spin on lap 13 for the feature’s final caution.
When the green reappeared Miller led Valenti as Weaver drove into third. Weaver took second a lap later and began to close on Miller. With two laps to go Miller was battling through lapped traffic and Weaver pulled to within a couple of car lengths. Miller sliced through the traffic and drove to the win over Weaver, Valenti, a closing Dustin Stroup and Logan Riehl.
Attica Raceway Park will be back in action Friday, April 22 for the Salute to Gene Frankart Open Wheel Shoot Out presented by the Baumann Auto Group and Venture Visionary Partners. It is the kick-off for the All Pro Aluminum Heads/Kistler Racing Products Attica Fremont Championship Series Presented by the Baumann Auto Group for the 410 sprints and the NAPA Auto Parts of Bryan AFCS Presented by Jason Dietsch Trailer Sales for the 305 springs as the Ohio Logistics National Racing Alliance Sprint Invaders (360 c.i.) join the card.
