I remember watching and rooting for Lou Blaney almost every weekend that my dad took me to the track. He was the inspiration that got me interested in dirt track racing. I watched so many times as he won the featured event. As a kid I watched his red number 10 drive around the track like it was on a rail. Often I got pissed that his rival would beat on him and go on to win the race. But when he wasnt racing, he was being a husband, a father, and a grandparent. He raised 2 good and well mannered racers. Dale and Dave. RIP LOU. God speed.
