ABOUT STEVE BLACKBURN MOTORSPORTS

Steve Blackburn Motorsports, after capturing a NASCAR Dodge Weekly Racing Series Atlantic Region championship and winning the Lonesome Pine Speedway (Va.) most popular driver award in 2004, felt challenged to take on the next level – the ARCA RE/MAX Series. Steve Blackburn’s first appearance the ARCA RE/MAX Series came at the 1.5 mile-paved oval Kentucky Speedway in May 2005. The Prestonsburg native took fellow competitors by surprise in his debut. Running fourth in practice at 166.3 mph, Blackburn proved to be a serious contender. Unfortunately, his qualifying attempt was hindered due to rainfall, keeping him out of the event. He returned to Kentucky Speedway in July and finished 14th place in a night race. In 2008, during an ARCA race at Talladega uperspeedway, Blackburn was running second with three laps remaining when a tire came apart. He started 11th and finished 22nd.
