With a ninth-place finish in his heat race relegating him into the B-Main for another shot at the $5,000-to-win preliminary feature, Blair gained five positions in the 10-lapper but missed a transfer spot by two cars.

For Friday’s program, Nothdurft’s night was over after missing a transfer spot in his heat race and consolation event.

Rolling off on the fourth row of his B-Main on Saturday for one last shot at the $50,000-to-win Gopher 50, Blair fell short of a transfer position with a ninth-place outing.
