Inside Line Promotions – STOCKTON, Calif. (July 30, 2019) – A hard-crash brought an early end to a promising night for Blaine Baxter last Friday at Dixon Speedway.
The incident occurred during qualifying in Baxter’s first appearance of the year in a non-wing micro sprint.
“I went into the first turn and the right rear hooked,” the 11-year-old said. “The car biked and I saved it, but then something broke in the front end and the car flipped end over end. I’m still pretty sore from it. Unfortunately, the car was destroyed.”
While the crash ended his night in the non-wing car, he attempted to continue competing in the super class at the bullring in Dixon, Calif.
“We had quick time in the Super and finished fifth in the heat race,” he said. “But I was really sore and didn’t feel comfortable so I didn’t race the feature.”
Baxter competed in the Super class the following night at Delta Speedway, where he qualified fourth quickest of 17 cars and placed third in a heat race before starting eighth in the feature.
“I ran the top for a little while, but then it went away,” he said. “I made a couple of mistakes and got freight-trained by the cars on the bottom. I fell back some until I got in line and then it was follow the leader around the bottom for the rest of the race. I finished 14th.”
Baxter plans to return to Delta Speedway this Saturday to compete in the Super class.
