CAMARGO, IL (08-31-08 ) by Robert Cortum - O'Reilly All Star Public Relations
For the 7th time in his 2008 campaign, Dale Blaney was able to defend off the competition and become victorious in exciting O’Reilly All Star Circuit of Champions action. Blaney worked his way up to the front from his 3 place starting position with the help of his low side groove and lapped traffic. Blaney will also recapture the series point’s battle.
In the onset of the A-feature, Rob Chaney would grab onto the lead from his front row position. Chaney would look to be the dominant sprinter on the night as he continued to lead running the high side of the track. Chaney would find himself among lapped traffic which saw many different drivers attempting various lines on the track to see what fit best to their mounts.
Blaney would capture the lead in the green to checkered affair pulling off the bottom against Chaney at about the mid-way point. Lee Jacobs however was charging to the front and put on a great display of driving to the Attica loyalists and would fall less than 2 feet from victory at the flagstand to garner his 2nd top 3 of the weekend.
The 4-time Ohio Speedweek Champion, Blaney, has been making the most of opportunities as they come to him in the final stages of the 2008 battle for the $50,000 championship. Blaney takes a slim point lead over Lance Dewease heading into the final night of the Labor Day swing for the series at Hilltop Speedway near Millersburg, Ohio on Sunday, August 31.
Heat Race winners on the night were Danny Smith (Heat 1), Tyler Walker (Heat 2), Mike Dussell (Heat 3), and Jody Keegan (Heat 4). The Nights C-Main winner was Ed Neumeister with Lance Dewease taking the B-Main win. Chris Andrews would bring home the Dash victory on the night.
