What won the race: Leading flag-to-flag, Max Blair of Centerville, Pa., outran third-starting Damian Bidwell of Eldred, Pa., to capture a $2,000 RUSH Dirt Late Model Series victory at Eriez Speedway.
Quotable: "The racetrack is unreal," Blair said. "Boy you could race all over it. I think the Late Model race is going to be fun to watch too. Most tracks when you have a rain delay, it turns out bad; you have a rough race track with torn up race cars, but this track is beautiful."
Key notes: After winning nine RUSH events in 2015 en route to the series title, Blair scored his first tour victory of the season. ... Blair became the seventh different RUSH winner this season. ... John Waters tangled with Alan Dellinger to draw a caution on the fifth lap. ... A yellow flag waved on lap 14 when Kyle Zimmerman slowed on the racetrack. ... Second-running William Thomas III retired early after a collision with Michael Duritsky Jr. ... Blair was also the winner of Sunday's Super Late Model feature, scoring his 21st victory of the season. ... Six RUSH touring events remain following July 24 action.
On the move: Moving to the tail of the field after spinning for an early caution, John Waters of Whitesville, N.Y., rallied to finish sixth.
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: Entering the event, Bryce Davis of Hornell, N.Y., had a four-point lead over John Waters in the series standings.
