A vehicle can be seen in the trees off State Route 7 following a
crash on Monday afternoon.

One injured in
single vehicle crash
By Sarah Hawley
shawley@civitasmedia.com

POMEROY — One person was injured in a
single vehicle crash on Monday afternoon near
Pomeroy.
The crash occurred on State Route 7, just south
of the intersection with State Route 124 in Salisbury Twp.
Ohio State Highway Patrol Trooper Shawn Cunningham stated that the Subaru driven by Janet
Leasure, 60, of Fleming, Ohio, traveled off the side
of the roadway hit an embankment and ended up
in the tree area.
Upon arrival, crews found a vehicle overturned
on the ditch line with an occupant inside. EMS
crews helped remove the patient due to the precarious position of the vehicle. The driver was taken
from the scene by Meigs EMS and ﬂown by Health
Net to St. Marys Medical Center, according to a
run report from the Pomeroy Fire Department.
Pomeroy Pumper 1 responded to the scene
along with Meigs EMS, Portsmouth Ambulance,
the Ohio State Highway Patrol and Meigs County
EMA. Twelve Pomeroy Firemen responded to the
call, which kept crews out approximately 30 minutes.
Cunningham said it is not known at this time
what caused Leasure to drive off the roadway as
troopers had not been able to speak with her as of
Tuesday afternoon.

— Franklin Knight Lane,
(1864-1921)

WEATHER HISTORY
A cloudburst on June 14, 1903,
near Heppner, Ore., caused a ﬂash
ﬂood on Willow Creek. The resulting
20-foot wall of water killed more

Point Pleasant senior Megan Hammond, left, slides safely into second base
during the fifth inning of an April 28 non-conference contest against Ripley in
Point Pleasant, W.Va.

BUFFALO, W.Va. — Recent
graduates Cammy Hesson
and Megan Hammond will
represent Point Pleasant one
ﬁnal time on Thursday during
the 2017 West Virginia NorthSouth softball all-star game
being held at the Buffalo High
School Softball Complex in
Putnam County.
Both Hammond and Hesson
— a pair of four-year starters
with the Lady Knights’ program — were selected to the
North Team, which will be led

by Ravenswood coach Cindy
Carmichael.
The South squad will be
coached by Kim Darby of
George Washington.
The event starts at 10:30
a.m. with a home run derby
competition that will be followed by specialized events
including fastest arm, sprints
and accuracy tests.
There will also be a total of
three softball games played,
with the ﬁrst two scheduled to
go a full seven innings while
the ﬁnale will last ﬁve frames.
Those contests are scheduled
for 1 p.m., 2:30 p.m. and 4

p.m., respectively.
A Most Valuable Player will
be named for each team from
each game, and there will also
be awards presented to the
challenge winners.
Hesson — the team’s everyday shortstop — produced
a .424 batting average that
included a team-high three
homers to go along with seven
doubles and two triples.
Hesson scored 27 runs and
drove in 25 RBIs while joining
Cochran with a team-high 39
hits.

James spectacular
again, but his efforts
not enough for Cavs
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — As confetti fell on
the court, LeBron James gave Kevin Durant a long
embrace and congratulatory words before walking
off the court with his head held high despite a ﬁfth
career NBA Finals loss.
After averaging a triple-double over the ﬁve
games, James knew there was little more he or his
teammates could have done to beat a Golden State
Warriors team that proved too talented this year
with the addition of Finals MVP Durant.
“I have no reason to put my head down,” James
said. “I have no reason to look back at what I
could have done or what I shouldn’t have done
or what I could have done better for the team. I
left everything I had out on the ﬂoor every single
game for ﬁve games in this Finals, and you come
up short.”
James had 41 points, 13 rebounds and eight
assists and Kyrie Irving added 26 points but the
Cavs never could dig out of a hole created by a
second-quarter barrage and ended their season
with a 129-120 loss to the Warriors in Game 5 of
the NBA Finals on Monday night.
Cleveland has now lost two of the three showdowns in this Finals trilogy.
Their one title came last year when the Cavs
became the ﬁrst NBA team to rally from a 3-1
Finals deﬁcit to deliver the city its ﬁrst major
championship since 1964.
The Cavs managed to stave off elimination once
in this series with a 137-116 win in Game 4 at
home, but couldn’t pull off another improbable
comeback this year.
“We were able to get them last year, and they
went out and got one of the best players that this
league has ever seen,” James said. “They did a
great job, their front ofﬁce and their players, by
doing that recruiting, the things that they did in
the summertime, and obviously it paid dividends.”
James had a spectacular series, averaging 33.6
points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists but it wasn’t
enough.
When it was over, James went straight to congratulate Durant, who got revenge for losing the
title with Oklahoma City to James’ Miami Heat
ﬁve years ago.
“Some people would say that he’s on the toe of
— like he’s on the line of greatness,” Irving said.
“But that guy is way over. Man, he’s freaking awesome.”
Cleveland got off to a fast start and built a 41-33
lead on a dunk by James early in the second quarter.
Durant appeared to commit his third foul on the
play, but the ofﬁcials let it go and the game quickly
turned.
The Warriors responded with a 28-4 run for a
lead they never gave up after that.
The Cavs offense stagnated during that stretch
as Cleveland missed 9 of 11 shots from the ﬁeld,
turned the ball over three times and had two
missed free throws from Kevin Love.
“You can’t turn the basketball over, you can’t
take bad shots because you don’t have ﬂoor balance,” coach Tyronn Lue said. “They’re so fast,
they get out in transition. It’s tough to get back
and get matched, especially with their speed.”
The game-changing spurt ended with a scufﬂe
when Golden State’s David West shoved Irving as
he tried to grab the ball away.
Thompson and Smith confronted West and all
three of those players got technical fouls.
James hit a 3-pointer on the next possession and
the Cavs didn’t go away, cutting a 17-point deﬁcit
to three in the opening minute of the fourth quarter with help from Smith’s 25 points.
But unlike last year’s comeback when they took
advantage of Harrison Barnes’ offensive struggles,
Durant answered every charge during a 39-point
night and Cleveland will need to ﬁnd new answers

3 OVP teams to change Ohio hoops divisions
By Paul Boggs
pboggs@civitasmedia.com

Meigs moves down,
the Lady Raiders move
up — and everybody else
simply stayed the same.
That’s because the
Meigs Marauders, both
the boys AND girls programs along with the
River Valley girls, are
changing basketball divisions for the next two
seasons — as announced
last Thursday by the Ohio
High School Athletic
Association.
Both boys and girls
teams from Gallia Academy in Division II —
along with River Valley’s
boys in Division III and
Eastern, Southern and
South Gallia in Division
IV — will remain in those
same divisions for the
next two years.
The divisional breakdowns in wrestling and
basketball were approved
by the OHSAA Board of
Directors on June 1 during their June meeting.
The 2017-18 academic
year is the opening year
of the OHSAA’s new twoyear enrollment and divisional alignment cycle.
Which means, for
Meigs, both the Marauder men and women
will be competing as a
Division III basketball
program —with both
dropping down from Division II.
For the Meigs boys,
their adjusted basketball
enrollment is 209 — and
actually squeezes them
into Division III by only a
mere two men.
Boys enrollments for

Division II clubs will
range — for the next two
years — from 211 to 361,
while Division III teams
will range from 128 boys
to 210.
Gallia Academy’s
enrollment is 239, which
keeps it in Division II —
while River Valley’s is 204
for Division III.
On the girls side, the
Lady Marauders — with
an enrollment of 185 —
moved down to Division
III from Division II.
Both programs at
Meigs — in the recent
past and within the past
decade —have been on or
around the cutoff number
for those two different
divisions (II and III).
River Valley’s girls,
however, have never been
Division II —until now.
The Raiders’ girls
enrollment is 212 for the
next two years, as they
will join New Lexington
as the only other Division
III program to bump up
to Division II.
Gallia Academy’s
enrollment is 209, as the
Division II range will be
from 197 to 336 —with
Division III set for 118
to 196.
For the ﬁrst time, Competitive Balance roster
data was used in determining divisional assignments in basketball,
which is the only OHSAA
winter sport affected
by the Competitive Balance regulation — that
OHSAA member schools
adopted by referendum
vote in 2014.
Division assignments
are based on gender-speciﬁc enrollment numbers

provided to the OHSAA
by the Ohio Department
of Education.
Enrollment ﬁgures
are then modiﬁed in the
sports of football, volleyball, soccer, basketball,
softball and baseball
based on Competitive
Balance roster data submitted by each school.
Eastern (107 girls and
104 boys), Southern (92
girls and 95 boys) and
South Gallia (86 girls and
90 boys) will remain in
Division IV in both boys
and girls basketball.
The enrollments of
Division IV schools are
127 and fewer for the
boys and 117 or less for
the girls, while Division
I schools include 362 or
more boys and 337 or
greater girls.
For the boys, there are
exactly 200 teams in Divisions II, III and IV, while
Division I has 199.

For the girls, the three
largest divisions all have
196 teams — while the
smallest Division IV features 198.
In addition to Logan,
the only Southeast
District programs that
moved from Division II
to Division I were the
Chillicothe boys and the
Marietta girls.
On the boys side,
Fairland — last year’s
Division III regional
champion and member of
the Ohio Valley Conference along with Gallia
Academy — returns to
Division II.
Also jumping up a division with the Dragons are
Westfall and Zane Trace.
Pike Eastern and
Western will be the only
Division IV programs
going up to Division III,

Durant, Curry lead
Warriors to NBA title
OAKLAND, Calif.
(AP) — As a fresh NBA
champions cap sat a tad
off-kilter on his head,
Kevin Durant embraced
mother Wanda. Then he
moved across the podium
and hugged Stephen Curry
before accepting his shiny
MVP trophy, holding out
his arms and hoisting it
for everyone to see.
From the Bay all the
way to OKC.
Durant capped his spectacular ﬁrst season with
the Warriors by bringing
home that coveted NBA
championship he joined
Golden State last July so
determined to get, scoring
39 points in a fast-and-furious, Finals-clinching 129120 victory over LeBron
James and the Cleveland
Cavaliers in Game 5 on
Monday night.
“You can talk about
whatever you want to talk
about, but nobody comes
in and cares about the
game or loves the game
as much as I do or works
as hard as do I at the basketball game. You can talk
about whatever happens
on the outside, but inside
those lines, I come to
bring it every day,” Durant
said. “I work hard, I
believe in myself, I believe
in the game, I respect the
game, I love the game, and
I knew at some point in
my life that it will come
around for me.”
Stephen Curry added
34 points, 10 assists and
six rebounds as Golden
State closed out its second
title in three years after
squandering a 3-1 lead a
year ago. That stung ever
since, and even Durant
understood, because he
gave up the same lead to
the Warriors a round earlier with Oklahoma City.
James, who in 2012
with Miami beat the Thunder in Durant’s only other
Finals, wound up with 41
points, 13 rebounds and
eight assists.
“I left everything on the
ﬂoor every game,” James
said after averaging a
triple-double in his eighth
Finals.
Kyrie Irving followed up
his 40-point gem in Game
4 with 26 points but shot
9 for 22.
This time, King James
gave way to KD, who was
the NBA Finals MVP 10
years after being picked
second in the NBA draft
behind Greg Oden.
Durant drove left, right
and down the middle,
knocked down 3-pointers,
dished and dunked. He hit
a 17-foot fadeaway over
James early in the fourth
quarter, then assisted on a
3-pointer by Andre Iguodala the next time down
as the Warriors pulled
away.
Iguodala, the 2015
Finals MVP, came up
big again with his 2017
postseason-best 20 points
off the bench in a testy,
tightly called ﬁnale to this
trilogy Finals that everyone had stamped on the
calendar from the moment
Durant departed Oklaho-

ma City to join Curry and
Co. last July.
The Warriors won in
2015 before the Cavs
made their historic comeback last year. Then it was
Golden State’s time again,
with Durant as the prized
addition.
Sure, the Warriors
missed becoming the ﬁrst
undefeated champion,
but 16-1 still gave Golden
State the best winning
percentage of any title
team at .941.
Durant shot 14 for 20
and Curry — the two-time
reigning MVP who took
a backseat as the new big
star got acclimated — ﬁnished off a brilliant postseason. Not to mention a
healthy one after his 2016
injuries.
Green stayed on the
court in a game that featured three technicals on
one play 3:08 before halftime. David West fought
for the ball with Irving,
then they got tangled up
and Tristan Thompson
entered the fray and he
and West went at each
other face-to-face. West,
Thompson and J.R. Smith
received techs after a
replay review.
Green had sat out this
very game a year ago, suspended because of ﬂagrant
foul point accumulation
after he swiped at James’
groin in Game 4. He had
10 points, 12 rebounds
and ﬁve assists in the
clincher.
“I had a letdown last
year,” Green said. “If KD
was the consolation prize
to lose, thanks for that
loss, and we’re champs
this year.”
With a much-improved
bench led by Iguodala,
JaVale McGee, Shaun
Livingston and West, that
“Strength In Numbers”
slogan that has become
such a staple the past
two seasons shined all
season long, from Durant’s
19-game absence late in
the regular season with a
left knee injury to assistant coach Mike Brown
stepping in for 11 postseason games to lead the
way while Steve Kerr was
ailing.
Golden State used a
28-4 second-quarter run
to take charge — just
after it appeared Durant
should have been called
for a third foul on a basket
by James — and got to
celebrate right at home in
Oakland surrounded by
a deafening home crowd
waving yellow rally towels
and holding up phones to
shoot video and photos
as the ﬁnal minute of the
clock ticked away.
The Warriors became
the ﬁrst Bay Area team
to capture a championship at home since the A’s
ﬁnished the Los Angeles
Dodgers in Game 5 of the
1974 World Series.
A year ago, these Warriors fell short after a
record-setting season that
included a 24-0 start and
73 victories at the end to
break the 1995-96 Chicago
Bulls’ wins mark.

Durant planned for this title months ago
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP)
— They made their group
plea to Kevin Durant
last summer, Stephen
Curry and the core of the
Golden State Warriors
traveling cross-country
to go at a prized free
agent the only way they
do it around here: with
“Strength in Numbers.”
Durant didn’t really
need a hard sell that day
in the Hamptons. He
chose Curry, Draymond
Green, Klay Thompson
and a chance at his ﬁrst
championship over
returning to Oklahoma
City. Scorned and scrutinized from every angle
for that decision, Durant
triumphantly raised his
arms and an MVP trophy
Monday night all these
months later— beaming
as a ﬁrst-time NBA champion, just as planned.
He hugged mother
Wanda many a time. And
Curry, too. Even LeBron
James, celebrating the
ﬁght and brilliance they
each demonstrated during
an entertaining back-andforth basketball show in
this Finals trilogy. Golden
State in 2015, the Cavaliers last year, the Warriors again this time.
“I hear all the narratives
throughout the season
that I was joining, I was
hopping on bandwagons,
I was letting everybody

else do the work,” Durant
said. “But then that was
far from the truth. I came
in and tried to help my
team. Like I said, tried to
be myself, be aggressive
and sacriﬁce as well.”
For all that chatter
about chemistry on a
super-team — some
called them “supervillains” — how there might
not be enough shots for
all the big-time scorers,
the Warriors kept winning
as the world watched the
every move of the East
Bay franchise under the
microscope.
Durant and Curry were
always right in the middle, yet they stayed loose
and focused by building
their own relationship —
not to mention shooting
skills — through regular
shooting contests that
were oh so close.
“The way that he
embraced the opportunity in the Finals, it was
unbelievable,” Curry said.
“It’s kind of crazy to think
about the conversations
we had this summer and
going into the year about
how we can both mesh
and do what we do and
be the players that we are
and (to) see it come to
life in this series, it was
unbelievable.”
Durant, an eight-time
All-Star who only needed
a ring to cement his

superstar status, scored
39 points in a championship-clinching 129-120
victory and averaged 35.2
points and 8.4 rebounds
in these Finals.
“I’m just happy for
him. He’s had an amazing
career, but he just took it
to the next level,” coach
Steve Kerr said. “He
was incredible all season
long. He had an amazing
series, just dominated.
Everybody for the last 10
years knew how good he
was, but until you break
through and win that ﬁrst
championship, there’s
always still something
there. I’m just so happy
Kevin has broken through.
And there’s more to come
from him.”
Durant came back late
in the regular season from
a 19-game absence with a
left knee injury, then dealt
with a tender calf early
in the playoffs. Still, he
insisted he had another
notch to raise his game,
and he certainly found it.
He dramatically drove and
dunked on Cleveland’s
defense, knocked down
big 3-pointers and blocked
shots while handling the
load of defending King
James.
Ten years after becoming the No. 2 draft pick
behind Greg Oden,
Durant has reached the
pinnacle. Whenever he

is asked about his own
accomplishments, he is
always quick to offer a
reminder just as he did
with a new NBA champions hat on his head: “It’s
a team sport.” He can’t do
it alone.
“I can’t believe it, but
I have to,” Durant said
recently of where he
is after a decade. “I’m
really proud where I am
right now as a player and
being as consistent every
year as I’ve been. That’s
something I talked about
coming into the league,
wanting to do it year in
and year out. I’ve been
able to accomplish that
individually. But this is
not an individual sport.
So I’ve also realized that
as far as becoming more
of a team player, since
my ﬁrst year I’ve grown
so much and I’m proud of
myself in that area as well,
but I’ve got a long ways
to go.”
This is a major start.
For those guys in the
Hamptons recruiting
Durant that day and all
the others, they can’t wait
for more.
“We felt like Kevin
could come in and help us
and, like I said, make it
all complete,” Green said.
“And he showed that.
Finals MVP, 4-1, world
champions. Doesn’t get
much better than that.”

Defendants in Pilot case want
more time to consider pleas
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Defendants in the
federal case against former executives at the truck

plea agreements.
The eight former Pilot Flying J employees in a

Greene picked for arm, McKay for bat near top of MLB draft
ﬁeld. I’m just going to go out
there and compete and challenge and pound the zone and
go after guys like I know I can
and like everybody else knows
I can.”
And while the Reds drafted
him as a pitcher, Greene sounded as though he still might have
designs on playing the inﬁeld,
too. Already there is talk he
could be a designated hitter in
the low minors when he’s not
pitching.
“I don’t even know yet,”
Greene said, wearing a Cincinnati cap and jersey. “I still love
doing both and I think the
ballclub is excited for getting
two players for one. So I think
they’re pretty pumped up for
that, so we’ll see how it works
out.”
At No. 3, the San Diego
Padres selected North Carolina
prep left-hander MacKenzie
Gore, marking the ﬁrst time
since 1990 that the top three
picks were all high school players.
Then it was McKay, another
two-way star from Louisville,
going fourth to the Rays as a
ﬁrst baseman.
McKay had teams considering whether they should draft
him as a pitcher, hitter — or
both. The Atlantic Coast Conference player of the year is batting .343 with 17 homers and
56 RBIs for the College World
Series-bound Cardinals. He’s
also 10-3 with a 2.34 ERA and
140 strikeouts in 104 innings
on the mound.
He sounded happy to have a
chance to keep hitting, and the
Rays said they plan to give him
an opportunity to pitch in the
minors as well.
“It’s just awesome, getting to

swing it every day, play every
day,” McKay said in an interview with MLB Network. “It’s
going to be fun to be involved,
and being on the ﬁeld a lot.”
McKay told the Tampa Bay
Times that Minnesota made
him an offer to be the ﬁrst
overall pick, but he thought he
“could get a better offer from
another team.”
It was the third time the
Twins were up ﬁrst — the previous year was 2001, when they
grabbed hometown high school
catcher Joe Mauer with the top
choice.
The 18-year-old Lewis played
both shortstop and outﬁeld in
high school. At 6-foot-1 and
185 pounds, he hit .377 with
four homers and 25 stolen
bases this season, establishing
himself as a premier prospect
with excellent speed and a
solid bat.
But the Twins classiﬁed him
as a shortstop when Manfred
made the announcement at
MLB Network studios.
“My body just went numb,”
Lewis said during an interview
with MLB Network. “It was an
unbelievable feeling.”
Falvey said Minnesota’s
choice came down to the waning minutes, and the decision
to pass on Greene was “really
tough.”
“We felt Royce separated
himself from those other guys
just a bit, and we feel like he’s
somebody that we’ll build
around for the future,” Falvey
said.

SECAUCUS, N.J. (AP) —
Hunter Greene was selected by
Cincinnati as a pitcher, while
Brendan McKay’s bat attracted
Tampa Bay.
And in a Major League Baseball draft stocked with two-way
talents at the top, the ﬁrst-place
Minnesota Twins went another
way Monday night.
Surprise leaders in the AL
Central after ﬁnishing 59-103
last year, the Twins spent their
No. 1 pick on speedy Royce
Lewis, a slick-ﬁelding shortstop
out of JSerra Catholic High
School in California.
“We know he’s going to be
a leader the second he steps
on the ﬁeld,” Minnesota chief
baseball ofﬁcer Derek Falvey
said.
Greene was next to come
off the board — and until he
did, many wondered where he
would ﬁt as a pro.
The right-hander from California also played an impressive shortstop at Notre Dame
High School, but a fastball that
can reach 100 mph has the
Reds projecting him as a future
ace.
Featured on the cover of
Sports Illustrated this season
and labeled the big star baseball needs, Greene was the ﬁrst
of four prospects in attendance
at the draft site to be selected.
“If there was ever a young
man who could live up to a
Sports Illustrated cover at age
17, I think Hunter’s that young
man,” Commissioner Rob Manfred said.
Greene was asked to give a
scouting report on himself as a
pitcher.
“Man, I’m a monster,” he
said, chuckling. “I’m different
on the ﬁeld than I am off the

LaVall Jordan set to be new
basketball coach at Butler
INDIANAPOLIS
(AP) — LaVall Jordan is
getting another chance
to make his imprint at
Butler.
The Bulldogs’ former
star player, who started
his coaching career at
his alma mater, was
hired Monday as Butler’s
new head coach. Athletic
director Barry Collier
made the announcement
Monday night after word
got out that Jordan had
agreed to take the job.
The 38-year-old Jordan
replaces Chris Holtmann, who left for Ohio
State last week. He is
scheduled to be introduced on Wednesday.
Jordan went 11-24 at
Milwaukee last season,
his ﬁrst as a head coach.
But he led the Panthers
to a surprising appearance in the Horizon
League Tournament
championship, where
they had a chance to
become the team with
the most losses to ever
make the NCAA Tournament ﬁeld.
“LaVall is a tremendous coach who exempliﬁes The Butler Way,”
Collier said in a state-

ment.
“He has played a
major role in successful programs that have
competed at the highest
levels. LaVall also has
a deep appreciation for
our university and this
program, and will recruit
and develop young men
who will represent Butler well.”
Collier should know:
He recruited Jordan and
coached him for three
seasons before leaving
for Nebraska.
Now Jordan, a Michigan native, takes over a
program that has gone
from one of America’s
darlings to one of college
basketball’s most consistent postseason teams.
Since 2007, the Bulldogs have made the
NCAA ﬁeld eight times,
reached the Sweet 16
four times and ﬁnished
as the national runner-up
in 2010 and 2011. And
they’ve continued to
win despite having four
coaches since 2013.
Jordan nearly got
his dream job that year
when Brad Stevens left
to take the Boston Celtics job.

Breakthrough win for Blaney
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) —
NASCAR’s newest winner arrived
home in North Carolina to coolers ﬁlled by Dale Earnhardt Jr.
with ice cold beer.
He partied until 4 a.m. and
ﬁnally went to sleep after Dale,
Ricky, Danica, Bubba and all the
rest went home.
Back up at 9 Monday morning,
Ryan Blaney watched a replay of
Sunday’s win at Pocono Raceway.
It was then that Blaney, just 23
years old, really appreciated the
signiﬁcance of driving the iconic
No. 21 Wood Brothers Ford to
victory lane.
“It sunk in last night with my
guys. It was a lot of fun to have
them over to celebrate,” Blaney
told The Associated Press. “Some
moments last night I was just like,
‘Man, this is so cool to win for the
Wood Brothers.’ Especially when
I rewatched the race today.”
It was the 99th career victory
for the Wood Brothers, one of
NASCAR’s oldest and most storied teams.
The team has won at least
one race in each of the last six
decades, but it had not been to
victory lane since Trevor Bayne’s
upset in the 2011 Daytona 500.
Blaney, who became the third
ﬁrst-time Cup Series winner in
the last ﬁve races this season, is
only the 18th driver to take the
Wood Brothers to victory lane.
It was an old-school win, too,
Blaney had to drive most of the
race with zero radio communication with his crew.
“I was saying we should just
unplug my microphone more so
I’m not complaining as much
throughout the race,” Blaney
said. “They could hear the mic
key, they just couldn’t hear me. I
could say it put you in your own
head a little bit more if you’re not
talking as much. I would still key
the radio and I actually forgot the
radio was broken after the last pit
stop.
“I was trying to talk, and

they’re like, ‘Yeah, we still can’t
hear you.’ I completely forgot it
was still broken.”
Blaney is a third-generation
racer, the son of NASCAR driver
Dave Blaney (the guy who was
leading the Daytona 500 in
2012 when Juan Pablo Montoya
crashed into the jet dryer, starting a lengthy delay for ﬁre), and
grandson of dirt track star Lou
Blaney.
He wears hats that tout the
Alabama 500 at Talladega Superspeedway, and retro T-shirts that
support his appreciation for Bill
Elliott and the Hall of Famers who
raced long before he was born.
It was no surprise to see Blaney
in a vintage Wood Brothers shirt
in the party pictures posted early
Monday by some of NASCAR’s
biggest stars.
For fans who long for the oldschool driver who appreciates the
past and even ﬁnds a way to represent it a bit, Blaney is your guy.
The team has never really had
the reason to sell merchandise,
but one of the ﬁrst calls the team
received Monday was from an
artist wondering what the Wood
Brothers might need for Blaney
retail items.
Prior to his Pocono victory, the
team had reached out with little
success on getting more Blaney
merchandise made.
“I feel like I’ve always been
that way (a throwback),” Blaney
said Monday. “I enjoy the history
of the sport, and driving for the
Wood Brothers has made that
come out more.”
Although Blaney may remind
you of a young Neil Bonnett,
Buddy Baker or David Pearson,
he is very much part of the rapid
changing of the guard in NASCAR.
With 12 races remaining before
the playoff ﬁeld is set, Blaney,
Austin Dillon, Kyle Larson
and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. are in
because of their victories this
season.

Still winless?
Former series champions Kevin
Harvick, Kyle Busch, Matt Kenseth, all of Joe Gibbs Racing, and
Earnhardt Jr.
Blaney is part of a wave of
young drivers who are proving
themselves worthy replacements
for yesterday’s stars.
Jeff Gordon is in his second
year of retirement, Tony Stewart
called it quits last year and Earnhardt will hang it up at the end of
this season.
Others will follow, since many
drivers have enough money today
to call it a career long before they
turn 50.
This has opened the door for
the Blaneys of the sport, who are
landing new fans for the way they
conduct themselves on and off the
track.
In a touching moment on Sunday, Brad Keselowski went to victory lane and was given the Fox
Sports microphone to conduct
Blaney’s winning interview.
It was a reverse from a day earlier, when Blaney was asking the
questions following Keselowski’s
win in the Xﬁnity Series race.
But there was deeper meaning
to that moment.
Keselowski gave Blaney his
ﬁrst big break — in 2012, when
Blaney was 18 and he gradually
earned Truck Series starts with
Keselowski’s team.
Keselowski got Blaney hooked
up with Roger Penske, and Penske has Blaney stashed with the
Wood Brothers until he can ﬁgure
out what to do with him.
So Keselowski is a de facto
teammate, and Blaney’s ﬁrst boss
in NASCAR.
“I wouldn’t be here without
Brad, to be honest with you,”
Blaney said. “I started driving his
trucks then and led to the Penske
deal, led to the Wood Brothers
deal, and I would be nothing if
it weren’t for him and taking a
chance on me.”
