    Max Blair Article

    BUSTI — As Max Blair tooled around McKean County Raceway one evening in June, his in-car camera was compromised when a clump of mud fastened itself to the lens during the World of Outlaws Late Model Series feature. The only ones who may have been inconvenienced by the obstructed view of Max’s first WOO feature […]


    Awesome talent! I wish someone would give him a ride so that he could run with the WoO or Lucas Oil.

    Why does he need someone to give him a ride?? He has great equipment.
    What he needs is a couple big sponsors that would support him hitting the road.
    The same can be said for Jared Miley.
    Fact is Western and Northwestern Pa is loaded with young late model talent that is just a couple big sponsors away from hitting the big time......

      More good drivers than rides. Relationship or Sponsorships is what creates rides. But Max is a great driver.

        I would thought by now someone would sponsor him follow the WoO. He can drive, I can see him battle Tyler and Madden for 2nd or 3rd in points. Would like see max and unzicker on the WoO tour for full season.

          My bad........I should have said it would be nice if someone could sponsor and financially support his program. I agree, he does have awesome equipment and can drive the wheels off his car.......just needs additional funds.

            Maybe if he wants noticed he should run more than Stateline and Eriez. I noticed him at Lernerville during the Firecracker sitting in the stands. At some point you have to venture out a little and get your feet wet. A 100 mile, 2 hr. haul doesn't require a major sponsor.

                  I guess beating the WoO and one of the hottest drivers in the country this year on the national scene doesn't get you noticed??

                      John Kennedy gave him the chance to race with the big boys and he failed. he was a back marker most of the time. Beating up on locals dont make you ready to take on the big boys of lucas or woo every week!

                        Always fun when it happens but he's definitely not the first driver to upset the big boys when having the home field advantage. Until he leaves the roost I'll stand by my opinion, be it right or wrong. I'm not a Max hater, just saying show me something more.

                          He didn't wanna participate in a daytime snoozer, or a one lane freight train at nite. It was hard enought to watch, let alone compete in.

                            It's easier to be a big fish in a little pond than venturing into deep water where there are bigger fish.With that said,even beating the big boys once at your home track is impressive for a local/semi regional racer.There are drivers that try it all over the country every week and very few succeed.

                              I'm sure all the drivers shared that sentiment, but they did it.
