4.22.17 FAST 410 Sprints Results
By Brian Liskai FREMONT, Ohio – Byron Reed once again proved the road to the title of the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads FAST Championship presented by Ohio Logistics must go through him. The Monclova , Ohio driver, who has won the last three straight FAST 410 sprint titles and four total over the past eight seasons, used lapped cars to his advantage to pass race-long leader Rob Chaney with six laps to claim the win to open the season at Fremont Speedway Saturday, April 22.
The win vaults Reed into the lead for the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads FAST Championship Series presented by Ohio Logistics title after two series events.
“I don’t know if we were the best car…we were alright. It was just one of those deals where you’re better off being in second. I got beat that way last week at Attica . I don’t know if I would have gotten Rob but the lapped cars got all out of shape and I found the hole first. I want to thank Crown Battery and my crew Kurt, Dick and Kevin and my mom and dad,” Reed said.
“I’ve been doing this a long time and every year I think ‘that guy’s leaving and this guy is leaving’ but then there’s some new guys that come along. You get to thinking ‘geez not another Haudenschild, not another Jacobs or not another whoever’…they’re always coming. For a few more years I hope I can stay ahead of them,” added Reed.
