The 61-year-old went out with a win in his last race.
Published: Sep. 23, 2024, 5:00 a.m.Blaney, the father of NASCAR champion Ryan Blaney, apparently turned his last laps over the weekend, and he went out on top, winning at his home track, Sharon Speedway. He fended off Danny Dietrich, who sprint car fans in central Pa. and across the country know well, for the checkered flag.
“It’s big,” Blaney said after getting the win. “You know, this is a race Dale and I try to win every year. To beat that guy … in my last race. Saying, to beat Danny in my last race. I’m officially done right now.”“Congratulations to Pops in his final go around,” he wrote. “I wish I could’ve been there to see The Bullet park it for the last time.
Blaney shined brightest though in sprint car racing where he was the 1983 All-Star Sprint Circuit Rookie of the year and a 2014 Spring Car Hall of Fame inductee. His list of accomplishments on dirt fits the Hall of Fame status. Blaney won the 1993 Chili Bowl Nationals, and was the 1995 World of Outlaws Champion. He is seventh all-time in All-Star Circuit of Champion wins with 49 and eighth all-time in World of Outlaws wins with 95.
