Dale Blaney Sweeps All Star Sprint Double Header In Michigan
QUINCY, Mich. (Saturday, Aug. 16, 2014) – Dale Blaney continued his phenomenal summer, holding off Jac Haudenschild for the sweep of the University of Northwestern Ohio All Star Circuit of Champions weekend at Butler Motor Speedway.
The win is Blaney’s 11th series victory in 2014 and the 110th of his career with the UNOH All Stars. Jac “The Wild Child” Haudenschild didn’t make it easy for the “Low Rider,” challenging in traffic. But, several cautions helped Blaney stay out of traffic late for the win.
“Track was a lot better tonight. We drew a number one for the dash and that’s huge here. Track position is everything at Butler. We had a good car but I’ll tell you if Jac would have gotten the lead I don’t know if I could have gotten back around him,” said Blaney beside his Kennedy Cattle/Ti22 Performance/Penske Shocks/GF1/Tom’s Sewer and Septic Service backed #14k.
Blaney is on track to record one of his best seasons of racing. Not only does he have 11 UNOH All Star wins, but a World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series victory as well. Blaney’s best season with the UNOH All Stars came in 1996 when he took 17 victories after having 12 wins with the series in 1995. Blaney is looking to become the series first ever five time champion.
Haudenschild would rebound from a bad night Friday to finish second in the Destiny Racing/Rick Rogers Construction/Mondak Portables/Triple X Racing/Renegade Rentals/Champion Oil #9w.
“It was a lot better night tonight. Scott Benic and the crew worked hard to get this thing better. I don’t know what we have to do to beat Dale but we’re getting better,” said Haudenschild.
Local racer Chad Blonde would race his way to a third place finish.
“After the drama last night, it was nice to have a clean race and pass some cars and bring this thing home in third. Shawn and Chris Robinson fund this all out of their pocket and I’m so thankful for what they do for me. The track was a lot better tonight and I was able to move around a little in traffic,” said Blonde beside his Krieger Racing Engines backed machine.
