Attica, OH — (June 19, 2015) — Dale Blaney won the opening night of 33rd Annual Ohio Sprint Speedweek Friday at Attica Raceway Park. Byron Reed, Sheldon Haudenschild, Parker Price-Miller, and Kasey Kahne rounded out the top five.

Parker Price-Miller who started on the pole was able to stay close to Blaney until late in the race and in the early stages the duo ran side by side several laps. Even before the half way mark, Haudenschild was making a charge through the field working his way up to 6th by lap 19.

Kasey Kahne made things interesting with a nice run getting up to 2nd after passing Price-Miller and looked very fast. About lap 34 Byron Reed passed Kahne and took the runner up spot. Haudenschild had the crowd cheering as he made it up to 3rd at the end. But in the end, it was again Dale Blaney  reigning as nobody could take away his lead tonight.

It was a great night of racing with a terrific field of 58 sprint cars. Heats went to Caleb Helms, Jamie Veal, Chris Andrews, Dale Blaney and Parker Price-Miller. The D main went to Shawn Zemunik, the C was won by Duane Zablocki, the B went to Kenny Jacobs. The dash was picked up by Price-MIller.
