Dale Blaney gets 'home-cookin' in All-Star
Speedweek round four - 6/30/04 By Scott Hall HARTFORD, OH – Dale Blaney
scored a popular home track win Wednesday night at Sharon Speedway in the
Haulmark All Star sprint car 30 lap feature. Round four of the 22nd annual
Ohio Speedweek returned to Sharon Speedway after a two year absence and
showed Blaney winning his second Speedweek feature of the season in the
Andrews Motorsports No. 72 wrenched by George Fisher. It was his eighth
career Ohio Speedweek win and he credited his intimate knowledge of the
track surface for the winning race setup. “We knew what tire to put on.
We had a little harder tire on. I don’t know how many people had that one
on. When the track gets like this it seems like a harder tire goes better,”
he revealed from victory lane. “We caught traffic good and the car was great
all night.” (More)
