Bryan Hulbert – SAPULPA, Okla. (April 17, 2023) Getting the chance to finally put a plan five years in the making into motion, Blake Hahn has not wasted any time finding speed in a 410 Sprint Car, posting his best career World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car finish Friday night at Federated Auto Parts I-55 Raceway, in Pevely, Mo.
Hahn’s second top-ten finish in five starts with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car, Blake’s third-place run in the Last Chance Showdown Friday night, put him starting 23rd in the A-Feature. When 40-laps of A-Feature action came to a close, Blake had advanced 17 positions for a sixth-place finish.
“Friday was crazy. At the start of that race, I thought I was going to get lapped. Not that the car was off, I just couldn’t by anyone, but after one of the restarts, I finally got rolling on the bottom and was able to start picking up positions almost every lap for a while. There at the end, I thought we had the door open to get a podium finish, but just got held up and ended sixth, which I’m not mad about after the way our night started,” stated Hahn of the evening's events.
On the season’s lineup, Hahn is running a variety of ASCS and 410 events. The only series he has committed to is the High Limit Sprint Car Series; otherwise, the weather will dictate his destination.
As of now, the next outing for the DriveWFX.com/Smiley’s Racing Products No. 52 will be the Xtreme Powered by Mediacom Showdown at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, on Friday, April 21, and Saturday, April 22.
