Blaney Earns 92nd All Star Win by Dominating at Hibbing
HIBBING, MN. (July 24, 2012) By Brian Liskai – Dale Blaney was in the right place at the right time. “The Low Rider” led all 40 laps Tuesday at Hibbing Raceway to claim his second straight University of Northwestern Ohio All Star Circuit of Champions victory.
The win pads Blaney’s point lead in the UNOH All Star’s Great Plains Region, which will pay the champion $10,000 as part of the annual Thunder Through the Plains. It was his series’ leading eighth victory of 2012 as the three time UNOH All Star champion has won nearly one third of the total features held this season. Blaney, who recorded eight UNOH All Star wins in all of 2011, now has 92 career victories with the series, just six away from tying hall-of-famer Kenny Jacobs for the most all-time wins. (more…)
