Max Blair Goes 3 for 3 for the Weekend as He Catures Feature
Win at Eriez Speedway

 

Hammett, PA
June 10, 2012

Team Blair Racing visited Eriez Speedway Sunday night. For the first time in his young racing career, Max Blair made it a weekend sweep, capturing three wins in three days. It looked like it may be another father and son night at Eriez, but after charging to third early in the late model feature and running down the leaders, Rob Blair's night came to an early end on lap 11.

John Volpe took off with the early lead over Bumpy Hedman in the Jay’s Auto Wrecking Super Late Model feature with Mike Knight coming to second a lap later then Rob Blaircoming to third. At ten laps in Knight was able to draw alongside the leader but Volpe used the momentum of the high line to remain in front through lap fifteen when Knight surged ahead just as Blair got into the retaining wall in the back straight after experiencing mechanical problems in the front straight, bringing yellow on the speedway and negating the pass.

Knight, the current point’s leader, then shared the second row with Chris Hackett for the restart. Two more tries were required before the event was able to continue with Knight making the pass for the lead on the first lap back under green. Knight went on to the win over Volpe, Hackett, DaveHessJr, and Dave Lyon.

The Dan’s Route 8 Boardwalk Bar and Grill FASTRAK Late Models had Damian Bidwell up front for the start and he led right from the drop of the green through halfway when third-running Matt Latta collected a lapped car on the back straight and spun.

For the restart it was Damian Bidwell leading with Max Blair second and Bob Dorman third. On the first lap under green Blair got by Bidwell for the lead and Dorman pulled into the pits with mechanical problems. Caution then flew at the conclusion of the lap.

Blair led the remaining distance with Bidwell second. Defending champion Kyle Zimmerman was third with current points leader Billy Henry fourth. Latta recovered after his spin to finish fifth. For the first time in his career Blair picked up three wins in three days, also scoring wins at Dog Hollow on Friday night and Stateline Speedway Saturday.
