FREMONT, Ohio — Skylar Gee has taken a liking to Fremont Speedway.
The Canadian driver sliced his way through lapped traffic like a surgeon Saturday to earn his second 410 sprint win of the season on Crown Battery Night.
After an caution after the first lap was completed, the rest of the 24 laps of the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprint A-main went non-stop and Gee was able to move everywhere on the race track to pick off lapped cars to lead all 25 laps for the $4,000 payday.
“I used to hate it when it got like this here but my guys worked hard all night. We weren’t great in hot laps and qualifying but got better in the heat,” Gee said. “I don’t have any complaints…that was a lot of fun. Felt like it was a long race but I just tried to be patient through lapped cars and keep my nose clean and see where we ended up. The last few times we’ve been here we haven’t been all that great. We made a bunch of changes and got better. I have to thank Logan and Becky for sticking with us this year. We won two off the bat and then kind of struggled here the last couple of weeks. I have to thank my dad, Jake, Kinser…everyone who supports us.”
With his second-place finish Cap Henry padded his lead in the All Pro Aluminum Cylinder Heads/Kistler Racing Products 410 Attica Fremont Championship Series Presented by the Baumann Auto Group. Defending Fremont track champion Craig Mintz, Hunter Schuerenberg and Travis Philo rounded out the top five.
