The Left Turn
By: Ron Burt
Attica Raceway Park hosted the Annual Attica Ambush for the All Star Circuit of Champion 410 Outlaw Sprints last Friday and Saturday. Cap Henry broke a two year winless streak with the All Stars Friday, Aug. 29th. It was his third straight win at Attica, the seventh of the year at the track and was worth $5,000.00. Last weekend Cap ran 3 nights and won all 3 of his features. Henry, a three time Attica track champion, led all 35 laps of the feature event for his ninth career All Star victory, his first since April of 2022. It is his 27th career 410 win at Attica. Henry is now tied with Ryan Timms and Rico Abreu for the 410 winged sprint wins in 2025 in the nation, each with 14 victories. Henry had to survive a green-white-checker finish and was running out of fuel at the end but hung on to win over Cale Thomas, Kasey Jedrzejek, Bryan Sebetto and Craig Mintz.
The American Iron Man Late Model Series were at the track for a $5000.00 to win feature. Defending UMP Late Model track champion Kyle Moore led all 30 laps for his second career series win. Moore’s $5,000 payday is the fourth of the year at Attica and his 10th career late model win at the track. He has 16 total late model victories in 2025. Moore won by over three seconds over Chad Finley, Todd Brennan, Colten Burdette and Greg Oakes.
Saturday it was night #2 for the Attica Ambush for the All Star Circuit of Champions 410 Outlaw Sprints. Cap Henry reminded everyone Saturday, Aug. 30 that he is equally dominate at Attica Raceway Park on a slick track. The three time and defending track champion led all 35 laps of the non-stop A-main to sweep the 37th annual Attica Ambush for his eighth win of 2025 at Attica Raceway Park. Not only did Henry lead every lap, but he lapped up to 11th place and won by nearly nine seconds over Justin Clark, who posted his best finish with the All Stars, Zane DeVault, Bryce Lucius and Devon Borden. Henry collected $7500.00 for his Saturday win.
Fremont, Ohio’s John Ivy has visited victory lane many times at Attica over his career. A former 410 and 305 Attica champion, Ivy has won 410 and 305 sprints and dirt trucks at Attica. However, it’s been a few years since he made an appearance in victory lane. That streak came to an end Saturday. Ivy, started fourth in the 305 Sprint A-main, grabbed the lead from Logan Mongeau on lap 18 in the non-stop 25 lap feature and drove to his 18th career 305 sprint win over Mongeau, who lead the opening 17 laps, current point leader Seth Schneider, defending track champion Jamie Miller and Jimmy McGrath Jr.
The 2025 Great Lakes Super Sprints wrapped up the 2025 season at Crystal Motor Speedway in Michigan. The feature went to Phil Gressman. Gressman, one of the top drivers and fan favorites, finally found victory lane on the last night of the season. His last feature win was August 2024. Finishing behind the winner was Jared Horstman, Darren Dryden, Max Stambaugh, and Steve Irwin. Max Stambaugh won the 2025 GLSS Season Championship making him a 4 time champion with the series. The next event for the Great Lakes Super Sprints is Friday, September 19th at Eldora Speedway as part of the 4-Crown Nationals. The non-points event will be held alongside the High Limit Sprint Cars and USAC Silver Crown. Until next week, keep your wheels down. Ron out!
