O’Blenis punches ticket to the Auto Value 250!
Dave O’Blenis is the 2013 Best of the Best Pro Stock 150 champion. But it wasn’t easy for Speedway 660’s RE/MAX Group Four Realty Pro Stock points leader. He came from deep in the field and swapped the lead several times with two-time Auto Value 250 champion Lonnie Sommerville before claiming the win.
“We’re happy to take the win for sure, but we’ve got some work to do before SpeedWeekend because this car didn’t handle the way it should today” said O’Blenis. “It’s nice to know we’ve earned a starting position in the Auto Value 250, but we’re going to have to be better to be successful on SpeedWeekend.”
Matt Harris made a late charge to finish third in the Best of the Best 150, the same spot he finished in the 2012 Auto Value 250. Sommerville and Kevin Moore won the qualifying heat races.
