Blake Hahn Ends Grizzly Nationals With Seventh Place Finish
Bryan Hulbert - BELGRADE, Mont. (July 17, 2019) Keeping the tires up to the end of Friday's Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by the MAVTV Motorsports Network A-Feature, Blake Hahn left the weather shortened NAPA of Montana Grizzly Nationals with a seventh place finish.
"Well, I can't really say that I'm happy with the finish because we were running top five at one point, but at the same time I am because we were able to finish at all with how abrasive the track was," stated the 2016 event winner.
Second to second in his Heat Race, Blake steered the Lucas Oil No. 52 to the green from the 10th starting spot. Getting as high as fifth, a mistake trying to conserve his tires ended up costing Hahn a couple spots in the closing laps.
"Dalton had the setup on point where I could roll the center without much problem. I just messed up trying to save my right rear and got tight. I could feel my tires starting to chatter so I backed off thinking it was about to blow and that made the car tight and I just slipped. I made up a couple spots after that, but the track was just locked down by then and it everyone was running the same speed by then."
Next for Hahn is the Battle at Big Sky Speedway in Billings, Mont. on Friday, July 19 and Saturday, July 20. Both nights begin at 7:25 P.M. (MT).
