Chad Kemenah cut his teeth racing on the tracks in his native state of Ohio. For the driver that calls Findlay, Ohio home, one track that he has always enjoyed racing at is Attica Raceway Park, which is just a scant hour drive from his house. He will get the chance to compete at the recently revamped 1/3-mile facility on Friday, April 20, as the World of Outlaws return to the track for the first time since 2005. Last season rain interrupted a schedule appearance at the high-banked track.
“We’re very excited to head to Attica,” said Kemenah. “We don’t get to go back there very often anymore. It’s good to get back home and see the people that we don’t get to see very much. Hopefully Mother Nature will hold out and we can go there and put on a good race for the fans.”
Kemenah, the reigning World of Outlaws Kevin Gobrecht Rookie of the Year has won five times at Attica with the All Star Circuit of Champions. In 2005, the last time the World of Outlaws competed at the track, he set fast time with a very stout field of 48 cars in attendance.
“Having a lot of laps at Attica definitely has helped in our success over there,” explained the driver who has two career World of Outlaws A-Feature wins. “They have changed the track the last couple of years and we haven’t raced there very much. Hopefully we can get the track figured out pretty quick and get to the front.”
With a number of his fellow competitors staying in the Buckeye State this week, after an event at Eldora Speedway last weekend, Kemenah has been a pretty popular guy. While he has had some of his fellow competitors visit his shop, he also has had many people from his home town looking to catch up on old times.
