Blaney Cruises to Speedweek Opener Victory at Attica Raceway Park |
|
ATTICA, OH (6-24-07) - The 25th Annual UNOH Ohio Sprint Speedweek presented by RacingJunk.com kicked off at Attica Raceway Park in front of a huge crowd who filled the stands in anticipation of the biggest week of All Star 410 sprint car racing of the summer. There were 54 cars from across the United States and as far away as Australia, but it was the Ohio native Dale Blaney who was parked on the horse track at the end of the night with a trophy and a check for $5000.
The Lockbourne, Ohio driver took the lead from Brock Mayes on lap 15 and never looked back to record his 56th career All Star victory, to move him into a tie for third with Jack Hewitt on the all-time win list. It was Blaney's second All Star win of 2007 at Attica and 9th overall 410 sprint victory at "Ohio's Finest Racing" venue. Blaney, the 1995 and 1996 All Star champion, has won the Ohio Sprint Speedweek title in 1995, 2003, 2004 and 2006. |
