What won the race: Recording his sixth RUSH Dirt Late Model Series touring win of 2015, polesitter and tour points leader Max Blair of Centerville, Pa., led all 25 laps for a $1,500 paycheck on Manufacturers Night at Eriez Speedway. Later in the evening, Blair also raced to victory in the track's Super Late Model feature, scoring his 21st overall victory of the season.
Quotable: "It sure feels good to get a win again. It's turned out to be an awesome night and capped it off with a Super Late Model win," Blair said. "That yellow (flag on lap 15) didn't hurt my feelings at all. Those guys were really duking it out there in front of me. I was worried about the restart with Damian (Bidwell). We got snookered on one of those this year and lost a race with him, but if I have to lose there's no one I'd rather lose to. He's real good at timing those starts, but I think we hit that one just right."
Key notes: In addition to his pair of feature wins, Blair also ruled Sunday's King of the Hill race. ... On Saturday, Blair triumphed in Super Late Model action with the ULMS at Marion Center (Pa.) Speedway. ... Sunday's event drew a season-high 47 drivers for the RUSH tour. ... Over $30,000 in products and cash were given away via random drawings during intermission on Manufacturers Night. ... MSD Performance sponsored the event. ... The fourth annual race was previous held at Sharon Speedway, Pittsburgh's Pa. Motor Speedway and McKean County Raceway. ... Ryan Scott won Sunday's Limited Late Model feature.
On the move: Dave Lyon of Corry, Pa., advanced 10 positions from 13th to round out the podium.
Winner's sponsors: The winning Team Blair Racing Rocket Chassis is sponsored by C and J Dairy, D.L. Anderson, Genesis Racing Shocks, Hicktown Farms, Moody & Son Welding, Murphy's Logging, R&J Poultry, Specialty Products and VP Racing Fuels.
Points chase: Sunday's race was on RUSH's Insinger/Sunoco Northern Tour; Blair sits atop the standings on both the northern and southern tours, putting him in line for a $10,000 bonus at the end of the season.
