Blair Gets 4th in a Row at Raceway 7

Conneaut, OH
June 11, 2010

Dwayne Pond led from the outside front row at the start of the Schwartz Construction FASTRAK Late Models feature with pole-sitter Michael Mitchell falling into second.  By the time of the first yellow at lap 6, Max Blair, looking to remain the only FASTRAK winner this season, was in third. 

After the restart Blair was all over the track looking for a way around the leader and succeeded on lap seven.  At lap ten Blair’s father, Robbie, was by Pond for second and set sail tracking down his son, determined a different Blair should sit in the Winner’s Circle.  Max was strong and continued to build a cushion until caution flew for a spin by Bob Diver at lap thirteen. 

At green, Max again powered away from Robbie.  Yellow again flew just one lap later and again on the green Max powered away.  With 5 to go, it was the younger Blair leading the older Blair with Pond third, Damian Bidwell fourth, and Bill Cunningham fifth.  Bidwell made several attempts to get by Pond but Cunningham was dogging him from the rear and got by in the final laps.   

At the checkers it was Max Blair, Robbie Blair, Dwayne Pond, Bill Cunningham, and Damian Bidwell filling out the top five.
