Max Blair is unbeaten in three Andy Kania Memorial starts.
What won the race: Making a 900-mile overnight trip worth the haul, sixth-starting Max Blair of Centerville, Pa., topped Sunday's 23-car field to capture the third annual Andy Kania Memorial at Eriez Speedway, $7,676 for winning the race for the third time. Eighth-starting Breyton Santee finished second.
Key notes: Blair captured his second overall victory of the season and his first since March 30 when he sat atop Clarksville (Tenn.) Speedway's Tuckassee Toilet Bowl. . ... Blair took command just past halfway and led the rest of the 76-lap feature. ... Pole-starting Dave Hess Jr., the track's all-time winningest Super Late Model driver as of the previous weekend, led most of the race but settled for fifth. ... Along with the purse money, bonuses of $76 per lap were distributed to drivers running in various positions, among several other bonuses. ... The event honored Andy Kania, a longtime racer and Eriez Speedway regular who retired to become crew chief for his son, Steve; Andy died Oct. 21, 2021, after a brief illness. ... Sunday's feature was slowed by four cautions and lasted 27 minutes.
