A Day At The Races

Like any sport, racing takes skill, hard work, determination and a little luck that your equipment performs perfectly and things go your way. Last year at Anderson Motor Speedway in South Carolina Blake and his #59 car were performing at peak levels, then in the last lap the crash happened. This year Blake returned to Anderson for the first time since that crash. Videographer Sam Frasier chronicles just what a day at the races is like for a driver

Blake Wraps up the Charlotte Motor Speedway Summer Shootout with a Pole, P5 Finish and Top 5 Championship Trophy!

The tenth and final round of the famed Summer Shootout was an amazing night for Blake, and a culmination of all his hard work throughout the series. Blake qualified on Pole to start the night. In the feature race Blake held the lead against the best of the best semi-pro drivers for an amazing 13 laps. In lap 14 Jake Waltman grabbed the lead but Blake stayed in the top five neighborhood for the rest of the race ending in P5. The last night of the Shootout wrapped up with a trophy ceremony for the Top Five series champions. After ten weeks of battling it out on the track through heat, storms and COVID restrictions, Blake celebrated getting his T5 trophy. His final stats for the 2020 Shootout season: 5 top fives, 2 top tens, One Podium (P3), One Pole and three heat wins. Way to go Blake! And to all the multi-year sponsors, POTUS ABC, Venture Wipes, Texas Lawbook, Southern Lights and Wellesley Dental along with Rev Racing, NASCARD4D, Jason Simmons, AK Performance, his fantastic spotters Wayne Leamon and Connor Jones, Blake’s amazing racing coach and mentor Mike Camarra, his NHKA karting family and all of his friends.

Late Model Test Day for Blake

It was test day for Blake at Myrtle Beach Speedway. He got that late model logging some impressive lap times around the iconic track. Kept the car on the track the whole time. Don’t think that Rev Racing/Sunoco ride has ever gone so fast. Way to go Blake. Can’t wait for what’s next.. And of course a big thank-you to Rev. NASCAR, Jason Simmons and Sunoco.
