Blake Hahn crew celebrates
CROSSVILLE, Tn. Taking on the Lucas Oil ASCS Southern Outlaw Sprints at Crossville Speedway on Friday night, Oklahoma’s Blake Hahn charged from sixth to make the race winning pass on Harli White with two to go to pick up the night's $2,000 top prize.Battling early with the Andy McElhannon, the race for the runner-up spot allowed Harli White to pull to a comfortable margin.
Starting to work traffic just past the race’s mid-point, McElhannon and Hahn closed the gap in a hurry. On the back bumper of White with 19 laps complete, Harli tried to work under a slower car but contact between the two nearly sent her into the pits, and spun Tristan Lee. Nearly clearing McElhannon and White for the lead, Harli was put back out on the point, knocking on the door with two to go,
Hahn again tried the slide with this one putting Hahn out front for good for his first career win with the ASCS Southern Outlaw Sprints. Able to hold off Andy McElhannon for the runner-up spot, Harli had her hands full in doing so. On the front straightaway, she discovered the right rear shock had been rendered useless in the closing laps as all the oil had leaked out. Brian Bell finished fourth with Seth Bergman making up the top-five. Lane Whittington came back from a flip in his Heat Race to finish ninth in the feature.
Local racer Jesse Lowe won his 18th race of the season in the Crate Late Model division over Cory Hedgecock and Michael Smith.
The third and final week of Super Summer Speedweeks before Fall break is this Labor Day weekend at Crossville Speedway with the Brucebilt Ironman Open Wheel Modified series. Visit www.CrossvilleSpeedway.com for more information.
