Inside Line Promotions – HARTFORD, Ohio (July 12, 2016) – Dale Blaney garnered his 22nd top-five finish of the season last Saturday during the Lou Blaney Memorial at Sharon Speedway.

“I’ve been trying to win that race for eight years,” he said. “The track was pretty different that night from Speedweek. It was pretty choppy. We weren’t as good through the holes.”

Blaney and the Mainstream Holdings Inc. sponsored CH Motorsports team opened Saturday’s Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions event, which honored Blaney’s late father, by setting quick time during qualifying.

“The funny thing is we drew a 10 to qualify,” he said. “That was my dad’s number for just about every year that he raced. My brother drew after me and he drew a nine. That was kind of a weird thing.”

Blaney then finished fourth in a heat race to lock himself into the dash, where he ended third to line up on the inside of the second row for the main event.

“I didn’t get a very good start in the feature,” he said. “I fell to fifth on the first lap. I just never got going. We got back to third at one point, but I never felt like I was really a car that could contend for the win. I had a third-place car and was a fifth-place driver.”

Blaney closed the night with a fifth-place finish.

He will return to action Tuesday at Attica Raceway Park in Attica, Ohio, for the Brad Doty Classic and Thursday through Saturday at Eldora Speedway near Rossburg, Ohio, for the 33rd annual Kings Royal with the World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series.

“Any big race in Ohio gets me keyed up,” he said. “The Kings Royal for me is the biggest race every year. This week I’m ready to roll. To put the Brad Doty Classic in front of it every year and now this year it’s at Attica, which is one of my favorite places, hopefully we can just have a good week.”

Blaney has won the last two World of Outlaws races at Attica Raceway Park. He was also the 2000 winner of the Kings Royal.
