Fremont Speedway - Thur. 7/1/04
Blaney Scores Third
Speedweek Win
By Scott Hall
FREMONT, OH - Dale Blaney was on
cruise control Thursday night at
Fremont Speedway in the Haulmark All Star sprint car 40 lap Ohio Speedweek
feature. His third win of the week in round five of the 22nd annual
Speedweek was run in front of a standing room only crowd and came in
wire-to-wire fashion.
"We qualified 11th and were lucky enough to start on the
front row. I
don't know if we could have won from 11th or not," Blaney stated from
victory lane. "Tom and Fritz Andrews do a great job with the car along
with
George Fisher." His winning Maxim featured a Fisher engine under the
hood.
Starting from the pole, Blaney rocketed out to an immediate
lead,
followed by Bobby Clark and Rob Chaney. Clark and Jeremy Campbell both
disposed of Chaney in the first two laps and began trying to keep Blaney
in
sight.
Blaney built a half straightway lead over Clark and Campbell,
who were
dueling back and forth for second. Once a pair of yellows on laps eight
and
ten were cleaned up, Blaney again set the pace. Kelly Kinser, who started
sixth in the Rotochopper 4K, was now fourth and put Campbell in his
sights.
Blaney, once in lapped traffic, kept his advantage over
Clark.
After the halfway mark John Ivy was the man on the move
as Tuesday's
feature winner began to pass cars. He started 14th and was 19th on
lap 23
and seventh by lap 30. Kinser took third from Campbell on lap 35, but
he
could not catch Clark for second.
As the laps wound down, Blaney cruised through lapped traffic
and Clark
began eating into the leader's advantage, but Blaney still won by half
a lap
at the checkered. Kinser rode home third with Campbell holding on for
fourth. Chaney rode home fifth with Ivy moving into sixth at the end.
Ninth
starter Tim Hunter came in seventh and Greg Wilson, moving into the
Andy
James No. 72 for the A Main, started last and moved steadily through
the
pack for eighth. Danny Smith started 23rd and finished ninth ahead
of Brock
Mayes.
"Andy Potter has the car real nice right now. He told me
to just be
patient and it would come around," hometown driver Clark said after
finishing second. "I wish we had ten more laps because it was really
hooking
up at the end. I got tied up behind lapped cars for about five laps
and it
really killed me."
"We were tight all race, then it freed up at the end. I'm
tired of
looking at that 72 in front of me," Kinser said with a smile after
his third
place run. "We may not be running fast here but we put on a good show,
running side by side," he concluded.
The Crown Battery heat fell to Lee Jacobs, the B&B
Products heat went to
Andrew Palker, the Engler Machine and Tool heat was won by Craig Mintz
and
the TP Wings heat fell to John Ivy. Brandon Martin won the Outerwears
Pre-filters C Main and Tim Hunter won the University of Northwestern
Ohio B
Main. Bill Rose captured the Haulmark Dash and Kinser was the Huggins
Cams
Fast Time qualifier.
In the 305 sprint feature, Columbus, Ohio's Scott Miller
became the first driver to score two feature wins for the season, taking
the lead and win on the last lap from Andy Shammo.
Mike Riehl took the early lead in the feature until
Shammo snuck by him on lap 13. Shammo built a big lead only to see it wiped
out by a pair of cautions. Miller moved up from his seventh starting spot
to take second from Riehl with 10 laps to go, and got around Shammo exiting
turn two on the last lap, to score his second straight win.
"This car is just going great right now...it's easy to drive. Anyone
could win in this thing," said Miller beside his JD Automotive/Gressman
Powersports sprinter.
Shammo finished second with Brian Smith third, Dustin Keegan fourth
and 16th starting Bryan Scott fifth.
