Wilson started on the front row along side Danny Smith but when the green flag dropped it was Schroeder and Blaney who were on the move to the front.  Blaney, who started 5th, followed Schroeder and Lynch to the front as Schroeder took the early lead from Wilson.

Blaney then hounded Wilson for 2nd as Lynch and Little battled side by side behind them.  Blaney seemed to get faster as the laps went on and he got by Wilson and chased down Schroeder in lapped traffic as he dove under him and put a patented Eldora slide job on the leader and began to pull away.

Wilson kept them in his sights and navigated traffic on the high side of the track with the right rear scuffing the concrete through the turns giving him the momentum he needed to catch Schroeder and Blaney who exchanged the lead several times ahead of him.

At the halfway point, Dean Jacobs caught Troy Little and was going for the pass on the high side when Mike Miller spun in turn two and collected Jacobs and ended his night.  Ricky Stenhouse Jr., who started 13th was now up to 6th place on the restart.

Schroeder led Blaney to the green flag, but Blaney got past him and began to pull away as Wilson caught Schroeder for 2nd with a slide job in turn one.  He kept to the high side and reeled in Blaney who was a straightaway ahead.

With 5 laps to go, Wilson was along side of Blaney challenging for the lead as he worked the high side and the low side giving Blaney a run for the money.  With just one lap to go, Wilson was on his bumper coming off of turn 2 setting up what would be one last challenge through turns 3 and 4 for the win.  It would not happen as the caution flew one last time for Ricky Stenhouse Jr.’s blown right rear tire.

On the restart, Blaney looked like he was shot from a cannon with no traffic to contend with and went on to win the race and his 4th Ohio Sprint Speedweek title. 

A disappointed Wilson said, “That last caution killed us.  I think I would have had him going into 3, but that’s the way racing goes.  Dale Blaney is one of the fastest and most consistent drivers in the country and he earned it.”

Tim Hunter won the B-main followed by Barry Ruble, Bobby Clark, and Neil Shepherd.  Clark the drove from 21st to 7th in the A-main, winning the Hard Charger award for the evening.

Butch Schroeder won the All Star Haulmark Dash followed by Blaney, Wilson, Brock Mayes, Danny Smith, and Ron Blair.
