Wild day for Soap Box
Schreibers, Katona advance to Derby nationals

“I just knew I had to keep driving straight,” the son of Scott Schreiber said. “I know I want to stay close to the cones (dividing the lanes), but not too close to them. I thought I did better as the day went along.”
Saturday’s win earned Zach Schreiber his second trip to the race in Akron. He qualified for the All-American in the stock division in 2006. He’s hoping to produce a better showing.
“I’d like to place (in the top nine) this year,” the sixth grader at Jefferson Elementary said.
Trailing Schreiber and Farr in the superstock final standings were Ashtabula’s Christopher Estock, Jefferson’s Ashley Katona and Ashtabula’s Christian Rivera.
Katona, a junior at Jefferson High School, earned her first championship in her second year of Soap Box Derby racing. The 16-year-old came back through the consolation bracket to defeat Ashtabula’s Tyler Welton for the title.
“I was a little nervous at first,” the daughter of John and Michele Jones said. “I just had to concentrate on keeping the car straight.”
