Fastrak Northeast Series

HAMMETT, Pa. (Aug. 24) — After falling back as far as eighth, Max Blair of Centerville, Pa., used late-race traffic to his advantage to overtake race-long leader Tom Snyder Jr. with five laps remaining at Eriez Speedway and become the first two-time winner on the Fastrak Northeast Series.

"I got shuffled back there," the 18-year-old winner said following his $1,200 victory. "I started picking them off one at a time and didn't know if I could get him (Snyder). I had to make a split second decision in traffic and it worked."

The polesitting Snyder settled for second while Butch Lambert, John Lacki and Dennis Lunger Jr. rounded out the top five.

Notes: Blair's previous Fastrak Northeast victory came May 24 at McKean County Raceway in East Smethport, Pa. ... Blair was coming off a weekly victory at McKean County the previous night which clinched him the track championship. ... Heat winner Alan Dellinger got turned around in traffic on the seventh lap in a wreck that also included Justin Kann. ... Threatening weather delayed racing action 90 minutes. ... Next up for Fastrak Northeast is an Aug. 29 event at Dog Hollow Speedway in Strongstown, Pa.
