5.18.18 FAST 305 Sprints Results
Defending JLH General Contractor FAST 305 Championship Series presented by Engine Pro champion Fremont’s Paul Weaver had to survive a restart with just one lap remaining as light rain fell to score his second division win of the year at Attica and the 45th of his career, earning $1,000 thanks to Gressman Powersports. Weaver came into the night seventh in the FAST standings.
“The wind must have changed because after that first caution you could go into turn one wide open…before you could go in wide open at the other end. The win total is getting up there and it’s still pretty hard to believe but as long as it keeps happening I won’t complain,” said Weaver beside his Hampshire Engines, M&L Excavating, Seagate Sandblasting, Miller Rigging, Weaver Performance Center backed #1W.
It took three starts to get the 25 lap 305 sprint feature rolling but once it did John Ivy took the lead over Dustin Stroup, Frank Neill, Brandon Moore, Weaver, Kyle Capodice, Kevin Peters and Stuart Williams. Stroup quickly closed on Ivy as the pair encountered heavy lapped traffic with just seven laps scored.
Stroup’s bid for a second win at Attica came to an end when he backed his car into the turn four fence on lap nine. On the restart Ivy had his hands full with Weaver. Weaver drove around Ivy on lap 11 to take the lead. A caution with seven laps go to with a light drizzle falling gave Ivy and now Moore a shot at Weaver. Weaver got an excellent restart and pulled away from a tremendous battle for second involving Ivy, Moore and Jamie Miller.
Weaver’s lead was wiped out when Bobby Clark spun with one lap remaining. Again Weaver got an excellent restart and drove away to the win over Ivy, Miller, Moore and last week’s winner Steve Rando.
