Adjustments propel Foos to 305 Fair Race win at Fremont

An open red gave DJ Foos and his crew the opportunity they needed to fine tune on his Merrill-owned 305 sprint car. The changes made to the set-up propelled Foos to the lead with just 10 laps to go as he cruised to the $2,500 win at Fremont Speedway Presented by Gill Construction on Fremont Fence Night to open the Sandusky County Fair. “That was pretty hairy – a lot of action tonight. The best car probably didn’t win tonight but man, Kevin Osmolski, on that red, he put the super tune on it. It was like a brand new race car…it felt so good. I’m just so happy for the Merrill family, Matt and Michelle and their son Madden. I get the opportunity to drive Madden’s car – his dad built him a really good race car. I’m really excited to finally getting a win. We’ve been getting closer and closer but just couldn’t seal the deal. Hopefully, this is a step in the right direction,” said Foos beside his Kash Kow Motorsports, Snyder’s Floor Covering, Adkinson Farms, Wagner Seed, NAPA of Bryan, Foster Auto Body, Handy Grafix, Berryman Racing Shocks, Kistler Race Products backed #39M.
Zeth Sabo jumped to the early lead in the Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint 30-lap feature with Bryan Sebetto, Kasey Jedrzejek, Dustin Stroup and Foos in tow. He led until caution on lap 14. Once the race resumed, Sebetto executed a slider for the lead at the half-way point. Sabo tried to return the favor in turns one and two and contact was made, sending Sabo and Sebetto flipping and handing the lead to Stroup.
A crash on lap 20 involving four cars brought out about an open red. On the restart, Foos pounced, driving into the lead over Stroup, Craig Mintz, Jedrzejek and John Ivy. Foos pulled away the final five laps for the win over Mintz, Stroup, Jedrzejek and Ivy.
