Blair Picks Up Second Win of Season at Stateline Speedway

 

 

June 11, 2016
Busti, NY


Jason DuPont led the Overhead Door of Jamestown Super Late Model field to the green for their 25 lap feature, easily jumping out to a three car length lead over Chris Hackett in the event’s first three laps. Warren's Dutch Davies, last week's feature winner, spun in turn two to bring out the first caution. Prior to the caution, Waterford’s Dave Hess Jr was on the move, entering the top five after starting outside the fourth row.

The second yellow came in short order after the restart as Michael Oakes spun in turn two, collecting Rick Tripodi in the incident. After the accident was cleaned up, Max Blair began to show his speed, rocketing past father Robbie Blair for third place and setting his sights on second place Hackett. After quickly passing Hackett, it didn't take Blair long to reel in the leader DuPont, passing the NO7 for the lead to as he completed the ninth lap of the race.

Blair began to extend his lead before seeing it evaporate when a turn three accident between Doug Eck and Bob Dorman slowed the pace. When racing continued, Blair again worked on building a lead, gaining five car lengths on the field over DuPont and Hackett. The caution was the only thing that could bring Blair back to the field as a wreck between Eck, Kyle Scott, Matt Urban, and Chuck Parker brought out the third yellow. Meanwhile, David Scott – who left his heat race with a damaged rear end – was on the move, gaining 13 spots from 24th to 11th by lap 14.

Blair led after the green with Hess using a great restart to get by Hackett for second. DuPont stayed strong in third with Hackett fourth and Robbie Blair fifth with 10 laps to go. Hess and DuPont’s battle for second intensified late in the race with DuPont first passing Hess for the spot and Hess going back by when DuPont spun to bring out another caution with seven laps to go.

But this night belonged to Max Blair who pulled away restart after restart to earn his second feature Stateline victory of the season and 202nd feature win of his career. Hess Jr was second, winning a hard fought battle with third place Hackett. Greg Oakes rallied for fourth with Jake Finnerty executing a late pass of Robbie Blair for fifth.
