In the words of Blake Barney “[we] put ourselves in the right position so that when all hell did break loose that we were up there.” Barney inherited the lead after a feisty Jake Johnson/Jon McKennedy battle for the lead, then held off Teddy Hodgdon by a bumper at the finish in a two-lap side-by-side battle to the checkered to win the Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series RaceChoice 125 Saturday at Star Speedway. It was the first Monaco Modified Tri-Track Series victory for Barney, of Jackson, N.J., who was making his 10th series start.
