Jimmy Blewett Rebounds With Top Five Finish At NHIS

     The T.S. Haulers / United Crane Rentals racing team rebounded from recent adversity as Jimmy Blewett scored his first top-five Whelen Modified Tour finish since his win at Wall Township Speedway in May. The fifth place score was Jimmy’s seventh top-ten finish of the season. This effort vaults the T.S. Haulers team back into the top-ten in both the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour drivers and owners point standings.

     “We did the best with what we had,” said Jimmy, “the car handled great all day. If we had the kind of power we had here in July, we’d have had something for them in the end.” Blewett blasted from his seventeenth place starting position to battle with the leaders for much of the second half of the race.

     “We have to thank our sponsors for making this possible. We have United Crane Rentals and Archer Steel from New Jersey they help us out a lot. And of course Eddie Partridge with T.S. Haulers from out on Long Island, he puts this all together.”

     “I’d also like to personally thank the Bahres for their support of the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour here at New Hampshire International Speedway. My brother, John, had so much success here and I can’t wait to come back to Loudon to try to win next year.” Jimmy’s next Whelen Modified Tour race will be at the Thompson Int’l Speedway, in Connecticut on September 23rd.

     Ed Partridge, owner of the T.S. Haulers team, would like to thank Joe Caraccia, Billy Mathes from Performance Engines by “Billy the Kid,” Ron Hutter of Hutter Racing Engines, Nick Hamp from Peterbilt of Maine and John Mazza Autographics for their support. Thanks also to Ray Rossi for running our website, www.tshaulers.com, and keeping that up to date.

Whelen Modified Tour Chevrolets are Troyer Race Chassis that are equipped with Hoosier Racing Tires, Performance Friction Brakes, Hightower Transmissions, Pro Shocks, Independent Racing Wheels, Joe Gibbs Driven Racing Oil, Power Mist Racing Fuel, Beyea Custom Headers and parts from A-1 Racing Products.

     Jimmy Blewett is 27 years old in his seventh year of racing and competing in his third season on the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour. Jimmy is a third generation racer who has carved his way into the record books with 54 feature wins to this point. Blewett resides in Howell , New Jersey where he works as a heavy equipment operator.

     “We’re ready to improve at Thompson,” Jimmy added. “We finished fourth there at the Icebreaker and if we had avoided one incident we might have won that one.” Blewett has three Sunoco Modified victories at Thompson this season.
