Inside Line Promotions – FINDLAY, Ohio (Aug. 30, 2016) – Dale Blaney posted a pair of podium finishes last weekend to continue to battle for the Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions title.

Blaney kicked off the weekend on Saturday at Brownstown Speedway in Brownstown, Ind., by setting a new track record during qualifying.

“I think I ran back there in ‘97, but can’t remember a lick about it,” he said. “It’s a cool place. We laid down a good lap qualifying. That set us up for the rest of the night.”

The Mainstream Holdings Inc., backed CH Motorsports team then placed third in a heat race and fifth in the dash to start the main event on the inside of the third row.

“I felt like I was pretty good early in the A Main,” Blaney said. “When I got to second Danny (Holtgraver) was out there quite a way. We had one yellow halfway through that bunched us up. It was tough for me to move around. The track was pretty much top dominant. You could get rolling a little on the bottom or middle, but it was hard to make up ground. I had an opportunity if a yellow didn’t come out with six laps to go maybe in traffic, but we had a caution. With an open track I was going to run second.”

Blaney settled for the runner-up position.

He returned to action the ensuing night at Millstream Speedway, where he once again established a new track record and set quick time during qualifying.

“We went out pretty late in qualifying and set a new track record, that was cool to get that track record,” he said. “It’s been there for a long time. To beat that and we were almost three tenths better than the field was pretty cool.”

Blaney then maneuvered to a second-place finish in a heat race and he advanced a position to end fifth in the dash.

“It had rained a little and it just made the track good enough where it stayed good the whole night,” he said. “It was tough to beat the top. You put Sheldon (Haudenschild) on the front row with it top dominant and it’s tough to beat him. We didn’t have long green-flag runs. We’d run three laps, four laps and the yellow would come out. If it wouldn’t have rained it might have got the track a little slicker where it played different, but overall it was a good night.”

Blaney capped the weekend with a third-place result.

He enters this weekend’s All Star races – Saturday at Attica Raceway Park in Attica, Ohio, for the Dirt Classic Ohio and Sunday at Wayne County Speedway in Orrville, Ohio – only eight points out of the lead in the championship standings.
