Kalib Henry Wins From 13th In All Star Renewal

FREMONT, Ohio — The NAPA Auto Parts All Star Circuit of Champions returned to action after a year’s hiatus with Californian Kalib Henry winning Saturday’s event at Fremont Speedway.

Henry, the defending Fremont Speedway 410 track champion, charged from 13th to battle with Cap Henry late in the race to earn his first All Star win. It was his sixth career Fremont victory.

“I figured there wasn’t any way I was going to win starting that far back. Andy Potter had this thing absolutely phenomenal. Thanks to all our great sponsors for allowing us to follow the All Stars this year,” said Henry.

Cody Bova led the opening five laps of the 35-lap feature before third starter Kasey Jedrzejek took over. Pole-sitter Cap Henry, who had fallen back to third, stormed into second on a lap seven restart and immediately pressured Jedrzejek for the lead.

Three race cautions in the opening 15 laps brought about an open red on when Leyton Wagner got upside down.

On the restart Jedrzejek continued to lead Cap Henry, Bova, Chris Andrews and Kalib Henry. Kalib stormed into fourth on lap 16, took third on lap 17. Another driver on the move was Zane DeVault who moved into fourth from his 17th starting position on lap 18.

Jedrzejek and Cap Henry continued to battle for the lead with Henry taking the top spot on lap 22. Four laps later in heavy lapped traffic Kalib Henry drove into the lead only to surrender it back to Cap with a bobble in turn two. Kalib regained the lead on lap 28 and pulled away for the win over Cap Henry, DeVault, Bova and 14th starter Greg Wilson.

Kent Brewer jumped into the lead at the drop of the green in the Burmeister Trophy Dirt Trucks A-main and built up a nearly three-second lead before a pair of late race cautions.

Steve Miller, who had gone to the work early during a lengthy race stoppage before a lap could be completed, had charged up to second and began pressuring Brewer.

Brewer hit his marks and drove to his ninth career Fremont win. After a post-race inspection Miller’s truck was found to have an illegal carburetor.
