MOORESVILLE, N.C. (April 17) - The B&B Motorsports team reached victory lane for the first time in the young 2008 racing season on Saturday night, April 12 at the 311 Speedway in Madison, North Carolina! Larry Blankenship set fast time in qualifying prior to the Twin 25s to earn the pole position for the first 25-lap affair. The Mooresville, North Carolina native was very strong during the course of the first feature event, as he led all 25 circuits to record the $2,500 top prize!
In the second Twin 25, the top seven cars were inverted, which meant that Larry would roll off from the inside of the fourth row. After only three laps, Larry pitted for a new left rear tire and returned to the speedplant at the tail end of the field. He then charged from the back of the pack up to the fifth spot, which is where he ultimately finished.
Daniel Baggerly was also in action on Saturday evening at 311. The young Dirt Late Model chauffeur got a ton of experience racing against some of the veterans at the historic North Carolina venue. He finished eleventh in both $2,500 to win events, but spent time inside of the top ten during both races. You can view complete results from 311 online at www.new311speedway.com!
"I am really happy with this new Barry Wright racecar," quoted Blankenship earlier in the week. "The car has been pretty consistent all year long and we keep tuning and making adjustments to make it even better. It feels great to get back into victory lane again and hopefully there are a lot more wins to come for the B&B Motorsports team in 2008!"
Both Larry and Daniel will be taking the upcoming weekend, April 18-19, off from Dirt Late Model competition. Daniel, who suffered a serious arm injury during an unfortunate track practice incident earlier this week at school, will be out of racing action for 2-4 weeks. Larry will jump back behind the wheel of his #32 Barry Wright racecar over the April 25-26 weekend, but the races he will attend are currently up in the air.
