Chance scores career first Late Model win at Attica Raceway Park

by Brian Liskai
ATTICA, Ohio (July 8) - After coming so close the prior week to winning his first every Fultz Fabrications and Speed Shop UMP Late Model feature, Mansfield , Ohio ’s Justin Chance wasn’t going to let another opportunity get away. He took advantage of a restart with two laps to go and slid under race-long leader Rick DeLong and went on to score the victory.

“I was hoping I could get him. I just kept thinking of last week. I was like ‘come on let me get him.’ Wow…12 years I’ve been waiting for this,” said Chance beside his Innovative Graphics/IG Image.com, Raceway 42 RC Track, Sophi’s Custom Embroidery backed #01. “I kept getting a run on him (DeLong) and when I saw that last caution I was hitting the dash. I knew I was going to get him.”

In the 25-lap late model feature, Matt Irey and Rick DeLong would lead the field to the green with DeLong assuming the lead as Irey spun into the infield as they came to complete the first lap. Irey was able to continue but at the back of the pack. DeLong would not move off the bottom as Kyle Perry was locked in a tremendous battle for second with Chance, Devin Shiels, Ken Hahn, Larry Kingseed and Ryan Missler.. Chance would take second on lap 2 and immediately moved right in on DeLong’s rear bumper.

The first caution would fly on lap five for a three-car pile-up involving Irey, Brandon Perkins and Nate Potts. DeLong and Chance would pull away on the restart with Perry continuing to battle Shiels, Hahn, Kingseed and 15th place starter Casey Noonan. Shiels would spin on lap 11 just after he had taken third from Perry. On the restart the DeLong and Chance duo would continue to run bumper to bumper while Hahn slid around Perry into third. With 10 laps to go it was still DeLong, Chance, Hahn and now Noonan. Noonan would take third from Hahn on lap 19 but could not close on the top two.

With the laps ticking down, it looked like DeLong was struggling to keep his car on the bottom – especially in turns three and four and Chance was just waiting for his….chance. Just as they crossed the start-finish line to complete the 23rd lap, Perkins would spin again to set up a green, white checkered finish.

On the restart Chance would dive under DeLong and take the lead as they raced to the white flag. Behind them it was a real war for third between Noonan, Kingseed, Hahn, Perry and Mike Bores. Chance would pull away for the win with DeLong, Noonan, Kingseed and Hahn rounding out the top five.

“I have to thank everyone that helps me out…Timmy, my Uncle Mike, Dave, Jamie…my dad’s not here, he’s in Kentucky…he’s going to hate that he went to Kentucky. I have to thank my wife and tomorrow’s my one-year-old’s birthday so that’s even better,” said Chance in the Engine Pro Victory Lane .
