Dale Blaney Beats UNOH All Stars and IRA at Wilmot Raceway

Dale Blaney Beats UNOH All Stars and IRA at Wilmot Raceway

Wilmot, WI (July 25th, 2015) - Dale Blaney concluded the UNOH All Star Circuit of
Champions road trip through Michigan and Wisconsin with yet
another main event victory; this time during the All Star/IRA “Sprintacular” at the Wilmot Raceway near Wilmot, Wisconsin. The current UNOH All Star point leader earned the $5,000 “Sprintacular” payday on Saturday, July 25th, over a stacked field of 38 Bumper-to-Bumper IRA Outlaw Sprint Series and UNOH All Star
Circuit of Champions sprint cars. Blaney survived two cautions during main event competition, as well as periods of heavy lapped traffic and a last-ditch effort
slide job by Cody Darrah to earn his eighth UNOH All Star victory of the 201season. “The Lowrider” now has 123 career series victories.

“It was a pretty good night for us” said Blaney, “I just want to thank all of my guys. They work really hard and give me a great car. It’s always special to get back to victory lane.”

Dale Blaney and Blake Nimee led the field to green at Wilmot Raceway. Nimee, who
entered the evening sixth in the current IRA Outlaw Sprint Series point standings, controlled the first four circuits of the 30-lap program before losing the top spot to Dale Blaney. The pilot of the GoMuddy.com, Big Game Treestands, CH Motorsports, #1 paced the field until the main event’s first caution on lap ten for Ryan
Irwin.

Green flag conditions would return with Dale Blaney setting the tone out front.
Cody Darrah, who started sixth on the main event grid, worked his way forward and chased Blaney for the next 13 laps; navigating heavy traffic until the caution lights reappeared for Kyle Martin with 23 laps in the books. Blaney brought the field back to green once again with only seven circuits remaining. Despite clean air and an open track for the defending UNOH All Star champion, Darrah still managed to keep pace with “The Lowrider” and would attempt one last slide job to take over the top spot with less than five laps remaining. Darrah, a Red Lion, Pennsylvania native, completed the textbook slider, but could not make it stick, as Blaney was able to drive back around the familiar J&K Salvage, #89. Blaney would go on to win the All Star/IRA “Sprintacular” at Wilmot Raceway with Cody Darrah hanging on to finish second.

“We just tried to fill the holes” said Blaney, “I knew Cody (Darrah) was going to work as hard as he could to get around me. I just tried to make myself wide and fill in all of the holes.”

“We had a good night tonight and a pretty good weekend all together” Darrah
said, “The track was pretty tricky tonight. The cushion was a little too technical for me to make it work. Hats off to my guys. They work hard and it shows.”

Greg Wilson, the 2015 Ohio Sprint Speedweek presented by Cometic Gasket champion, rallied from fifth to finish third at Wilmot Raceway. “The Kunkletown Kid” Ryan Smith would roll home where he started on Saturday night and cross under thecheckers fourth in the running order. Early leader Blake Nimee completed the top-five.
