Inside Line Promotions – DIXON, Calif. (July 23, 2019) – Blaine Baxter earned the best finish in his brief Super 600 Micro career with a third-place result last Saturday at Dixon Speedway.
Baxter put together a solid night, placing in the top three in qualifying, a heat race, the dash and the feature.
“The night went pretty well,” the 11-year-old said. “We qualified well and that was important to the rest of the night.”
Baxter qualified third quickest prior to runner-up finishes in his heat race and the dash. He started second and finished third in the feature.
“The track was really fast, but it was kind of tough to pass on,” he said. “It was a good night for us.”
Baxter had another quality night in the Super class during his previous race at Dixon Speedway on July 6 until a miscue after the feature. He qualified quickest in time trials and then finished third in his heat race before crossing the finish line fifth in the feature.
“I made a mental error and forgot to go over the scales after the feature and was disqualified,” he said. “I thought the top three scaled, but it was the top five. I usually still go to the scales just to make sure. But this was the one time I didn’t and of course I was wrong.”
Baxter is enjoying his first season in the Super 600s and is showing steady improvement.
“I like racing the Super class way better than the Restricted,” he said. “I like having a lot more power to work with. I’ve been feeling more comfortable each time in the Super. I keep feeling more confident and feel that I can drive it a little harder each time.”
Baxter plans to continue to compete in the Super 600 class again this Friday at Dixon Speedway and Saturday at Delta Speedway in Stockton, Calif. He also hopes to race in the non-wing class at each track if that car is ready by then.
