Miller earns win in final race of year at Fremont Speedway

It was Miller time once again at Fremont Speedway. “The Track That Action Built” hosted its final race for 2022 Friday, Oct. 14 with the Oakshade Raceway Street Stocks competing against the Burmeister Trophy Dirt Trucks. Fremont Speedway’s 2022 dirt truck track champion Jamie Miller drove to his sixth truck win of the season.
Miller, from Fremont, took the lead from Adam Lantz on lap 16 of the 25-lap feature and negotiated perfectly through lapped traffic for his seventh overall win (he has a 305 sprint win) of 2022 at Fremont. It was Miller’s 12th overall win of 2022, having won five other 305 sprint features this year. It is Miller’s 37th career win at Fremont, placing him 12th on the track’s all-time win list.
“What a fantastic year….don’t want it to end. I just tried not to screw up on the bottom and over drive it. To be among the legends in wins at Fremont is pretty phenomenal. I never would have imagined this when I first started racing,” said Miller beside his Fostoria Mod Shop, Ron Miller Race Cars backed #4M.
Lantz – who was disqualified after post-race inspection – jumped into the early lead of the A-main with Shawn Valenti glued to his rear bumper while Dave Gumby and Miller battled for third. Miller moved into third on lap six and had a spirited battle with Valenti until taking second on lap nine.
Lapped traffic came into play by lap 13 and that allowed Miller to close on Lantz. The pair battled in tight quarters until Miller drove under Lantz to take the lead on lap 16. Lantz continued to hound Miller until the leader made a great move with a lapped car on lap 19 and pulled away for the win.
Valenti was credited with second with Kyle Moore, Gumby and Gabe Mueller rounding out the top five.
