Reed used a pair of runner-up finishes during the first two rounds of F.A.S.T. action on April 17th & 18th to propel himself to the top of the rankings; leading Dean Jacobs by eleven markers heading into round #3 on Friday, May 1st. Cap Henry, Chris Andrews and Craig Mintz round out the top-five in the current championship standings.
The F.A.S.T. season officially kicked-off on Friday evening, April 17th at the Attica Raceway Park in Attica, Ohio where it was Ohio veteran Dean Jacobs earning the victory. Jacobs led the entire distance on Friday night; controlling the entire caution-free thirty-lap feature for his first win of the season. Byron Reed, who nearly got by Jacobs on the final circuit, would finish in the runner-up position, followed by UNOH All Star regular Chad Kemenah, Cap Henry, and D.J. Foos.
The F.A.S.T. ‘410’ schedule continued on Saturday evening, April 18th at the Fremont Speedway in Fremont, Ohio. It was Chris Andrews earning his first F.A.S.T. feature victory of the 2015 season on Saturday night; holding off defending series champion Byron Reed and former series champion Craig Mintz. Cap Henry and Brian Smith completed the top-five finishers. Andrews won the 30-lap main event from the pole position; surviving multiple cautions and a red flag to secure his appearance in victory lane.
