Findlay,Ohio (6-19-16)-Dale Blaney passed Chad Kemenah midway through the 30 lap feature to capture the 3rd night of the All Star Circuit Champions “Ohio Speedweek” at Millstream Speedway Sunday night.
The previous night’s winner, Sheldon Haudenschild looked to be the car to beat as he led the first 10 laps until Kemenah took over. A caution for a Haudenschild flat put Cap Henry in 2nd as he looked strong. After the restart, Henry was looking to pass Kemenah on the high side on the backstretch but the two cars made contact with Henry bouncing off the outside wall and spinning to the inside.
At the midway point Blaney would get by Kemenah and maintained the position throughout.
One more caution would slow things down with Kemenah closing on Blaney, but Blaney was up to the challenge and drove to victory from his 13th starting spot over Kemenah, Kyle Larson, Travis Philo and Kraig Kinser.
A big crowd welcomed another fine field of 47 sprint cars on this warm Sunday evening.
