Blair Claims Monumental FASTRAK Northeast Inaugural Race at Marion Center, PA
** FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE** August 25th, 2013 FASTRAK PR
(Marion Center, Pennsylvania) – The ¼ mile facility operated by the
Potts family from the get go has one nickname to describe the Marion
Center Speedway – “Thrill on the Hill”. Oh what a thrill it turned out
to be on Saturday August 24th as the Inaugural “Triple Crown” Finale was
to be decided for the FASTRAK City Chevrolet Northeast Touring
Division. When it was said and done 2 champions we’re crowned. #111 Max
Blair picking up the first ever Touring win at Marion Center and #6 of
the year, #20 Wayne Robertson from Corning, New York being hailed the
Inaugural FASTRAK NE “Triple Crown” Champion, we will have a Press
Release on the Triple Crown coming shortly. After the driver
introductions we’re concluded and the packed faithful saw a spectacular
“FIREWORKS” display with the 4-wide salute ungluing the crowd with awe,
history was set to be made for 35 laps up on “The Thrill on the Hill” as
the “Nation’s First and Premier Pro Late Model Series in the Country”
was ready to Rock n’ Roll.
At the start Moyer and Prosser would battle side by side the 1st lap
around but exiting off turn three Moyer slipped up and allowed #77 Joel
Prosser in the “Amsoil Express” to move to the top spot causing the 1st
lead change of the race. Prosser was able to hold on for a few circuits
when on lap 9 he slipped up “top-shelf” in turn four. This allowed
Rochester Hills, PA native #2 Rocket of Andrew Satterlee to relinquish
the top spot. A few cautions fell but the BIG one on “The Hill” happened
on a restart when almost 9 cars we’re entangled with carnage off the
2nd turn on lap 15. Several top contenders we’re collected putting many
on the hook for the evening. We go down to the final laps while the race
continued a battle quickly ensued to a rivalry between the Rocket
chassis’ of #111 Blair and #2 Satterlee. Some of the most intense racing
was witnessed as they put it all on the line to the finish. A caution
would fall when the field was on the white flag when #B4 Steve Beatty
went for a spin in turn 2. This set up a Green White Checkered finish,
Blair and Satterlee to battle in the shootout for the win but also #14
Dan Angelicchio was ready to strike. Also eventual Triple Crown Champion
#20 Wayne Robertson rallied from 10th on the last restart to pass seven
cars to the finish solidly. 3rd thru 5th would battle hard even three
wide coming to the finish but they couldn’t catch #111 Max Blair taking
his 6th FASTRAK touring win of 2013. #2 Satterlee settled for 2nd, 3rd
to Triple Crown champ #20 Wayne Robertson, 4th went to #14 Dan
Angelicchio and rounding out the top 5 #55 Joe Martin.
