Blair wins Farr Memorial at Eriez Speedway
HAMMETT, Pa. — Eriez Speedway celebrated the 245th birthday of the United States of America with a 41-lap feature for the Mill Run Collision/Zimmer Service Center ULMS Super Late Models presented by Hess Garage and Salvage in memory of one of the most influential men in Eriez history, Mike Farr.
Farr started his involvement with racing in the 1960s with the old Sportsmen Coupe cars and later developed the Genesis Shock. Although Farr, an Erie native, left the area for the metro-Atlanta area, he maintained close ties to this community, often visiting the area and supporting several race teams here, including the winner of Sunday night’s memorial, Max Blair.
Blair wound up finishing second in his heat, winning the “Scramble” to start on the pole for the feature, then led every lap to score the win over Dave Hess, Greg Oakes, Darrell Bossard and Wyatt Scott.
In other feature action, Blair also racked up another Nic Dit Trucking/Empire RUSH Late Model feature triumph; Dave Hess Jr. scored yet another Waterford Hotel UMP Modified win; defending class champion John Boardman continued his domination of the Curtze Food Service Pro Stocks; Dennis Lunger added another win to his Johnson’s Car Care and Collision Economod total; Jessica Harvey picked up her first L&D Tree Service Challenger win of the season; and Mikael Beaver, the only entrant, was awarded the win in the Everhart Asphalt & E.T. Motorsports RUSH Pro Stocks finale.
