Russell
Erwin Dominates for Steel Block Bandits Win
(April
13, 2024) Russell Erwin dominated the Rockin’ With
The Stars Vision Wheel Steel Block Bandits race on Saturday night.
Erwin took the initial lead from pole sitter Blake Craft. Craft
gave chase to Erwin before Erwin pulled away for a sizeable lead.
Rusty Ballenger would take second from Craft past the halfway
point of the race. As the leader got into slower traffic, Ballenger
tracked down Erwin. Ballenger cut the lead to car lengths as Erwin
got caught behind two cars racing for position at the end of the
lead lap. Ballenger could not take advantage as Erwin stretched
the lead back out to five car lengths at the finish line. Craft
held off Tyler Bare for third and Tyler Arrington finished fifth.

The sportsman late model feature got off to a rowdy start. It
took three attempts to get the feature under way. One of the attempted
starts saw pole sitter Dustin Ward and Jake Whitehead made contact
on turn 2. Others were involved with Ward receiving significant
body damage. Both Ward and Whitehead were able to continue. Once
under way, Ward shot out to the lead over Whitehead. On a lap
5 restart, Whitehead made a bid for the lead only to see Ward
hold onto the lead on the back straightaway. Whitehead took advantage
of a lap 15 restart to finally pull alongside Ward for the lead.
Whitehead took the lead as the field raced into turn 3. Whitehead
went on for the win. Michael Courtney finished second, Tyler Price
rallied for 8th starting spot to finish third. Ward fell to fourth
and Chandler Hickman finished fifth.
