Inside Line Promotions – ATTICA, Ohio (March 29, 2016) – Dale Blaney is primed to defend his Arctic Cat All Star Circuit of Champions title as the chase for the 2016 crown begins this weekend.
Blaney and the Mainstream Holdings, Inc., backed CH Motorsports team picked up a runner-up result last Saturday at Attica Raceway Park during the final tune up before points racing begins.
“We ran ok, but not the best,” he said. “We needed to race a bit. It was good to get back racing again. Hopefully we learned some things to help us down the line.”
Blaney opened the night by qualifying third quickest overall and the fastest in his group. That lined him up on the outside of the second row for a heat race.
“Those races are tough because you hot lap and qualify at the same time,” he said. “It’s better than just having a draw. It’s a good thing they do that, but it doesn’t leave you with much time on the track. We were only on the track three times the whole night. I wish we could have got a little more track time, but overall it was good. That wasn’t really a test session for us, but it was in a way.”
Blaney placed third in his heat race to lock into the feature redraw, where he pulled the No. 7 during the random draw to start the main event on the inside of the fourth row.
“We got to fifth fairly quickly, but if we didn’t get a yellow late with six laps to go we probably would have ended up running fourth,” he said. “I just couldn’t make any ground up for most of the middle portion of the race. I got to third about one lap after the restart and then I got second coming off turn four for the checkered.”
Blaney enters the All Star points opener this Saturday at Atomic Speedway in Chillicothe, Ohio, with eight top fives in 12 races this season. He owns a series-best 127 feature victories, including at least one triumph during each of the past 15 years.
