5.13.22 FAST Sprints Results
The Ti22 Performance FAST 410 sprint cars made their first ever appearance at Ohio Valley Speedway Friday night. A modern era record field of cars filled the pit area, and Nate Dussel went wire to wire to secure the win. A night later, the touring stars moved on to the speed palace of the West Virginia Motor Speedway, where western Pennsylvania star, Sye Lynch, scored his second career tour win.
Despite threatening skies, a great crowd filled the Ohio Valley Speedway while 30 winged 410 sprint cars unloaded pit-side and prepared for war on the immaculately prepared 3/8 mile dirt oval. ARP Fasteners qualifying found Nate Dussel setting overall quick time at 13.717, just missing the all-time track record, in his first ever appearance there. Other drivers setting quick times in their heat race groups were Chris Myers, Lee Jacobs and 2019 FAST tour champion, Cole Duncan.
Ricky Peterson was able to hold Dussel off for the win in NAPA of Fremont, heat 2. Brave Breeds Rescue heat race 2 was won by local native and defending FAST champion Cale Conley in his new ride, the Shewbrooks Racing A79. Veteran racer Josh Davis scored an impressive win in TheCushion.com heat 3 fighting off the charging Lee Jacobs. Another Ohio Valley veteran, Wayne McPeek, used his home track advantage to blitz to the win in Outsider’s Merchandise & Apparel heat 4.
The 12 lap MSD Ignitions B-Main was won in dominant fashion by Keith Baxter, over Jamie Myers, Jordan Harble, Mitch Harble, Andre Layfield and Jason Dolick, who all transferred to the 22 car – 30 lap main event. The NGK Spark Plugs redraw worked in Nate Dussel’s favor, pulling the number one pill, with local star Josh Davis starting alongside. A stacked second row found last year’s tour champion, Cale Conley and runner-up, Lee Jacobs.
Ohio Valley starter, Matt Amick, dropped the green flag on the Ti22 Performance main event and Dussel out drag raced Davis to claim a lead he would never relinquish. Action was all around the track with drivers using every available line on the track. A few minor incidents slowed the action early. Jake Hesson wound up on his side, bringing out the red flag, but rejoined the event with some minor wing damage. The most serious incident came on lap 13 when a 4 car pile-up nearly blocked the track in turn 3, bringing out a red flag.
In the race to the finish, it was Lee Jacobs charging late, but he was no match this night for Dussel who claimed the win. Past FAST champions Cale Conley and Cole Duncan ran 3rd and 4th respectively, with Jordan Ryan having a great run up to complete the top 5. The balance of the top 10 included Nathan Skaggs, Josh Davis, Bryan Nuckles, Zeth Sabo and Jamie Myers.
