Conneaut, OH. - Jamie
Brown sat on the pole for the start of the Schwartz Construction FASTRAK
Late Model feature with Mike Mitchell alongside. Pandemonium broke loose
at the start as four cars piled up right at the green including Bob
Dorman, Les Lyon, Jim Long, and Brent Rhebergen.
Mitchell led with Blair moving to second and challenging for the lead
with ’09 champion Dennis Lunger third. More cautions slowed the pace but
by lap six Blair managed to get by for the lead, out-braking Mitchell
heading into turn three.
Blair’s luck went bad at that time as Dwayne Pond spun in turn two,
negating the pass. Mitchell continued to lead with Blair hounding him
every lap and John Lacki second until the halfway point when the leader
succumbed to mechanical woes.
Blair then opened up a bigger lead every lap over Lacki with Billy Henry
running third, Dennis Lunger fourth and Shane Bambarger fifth. After a
final caution for Bud Watson’s encounter with the front-straight wall,
Blair finished off the win with Henry getting by Lacki on the final lap.
John Haggerty wound up fourth with Lunger fifth. It was a record-setting
seventh victory in a row for the young Titusville driver. In tech it was
discovered that Haggerty was light at the scales and disqualified,
moving Lunger to fourth and Shane Bambarger to fifth.
