Back in 1991 a kid named Blake Robertson (sp) raced in the Knoxville Nationals. I believe he was about 17 years old at the time and was from somewhere in California. It was his first time at the track and although he didn't have a good finish to speak of, he was actually pretty quick by the end of the week. I was just wondering what ever became of this kid. He seemed to be a pretty talented racer. Drove a yellow car at the time. I know this is a blast from the past and a pretty vague description but does anybody have any information on what he's doing or has done since then? Thanks!

I wish I had a better answer, but I just read an article on him the past couple weeks or so that he was a youngest at the Nationals and would most likely hold that record as they have changed the rules. You might check the last couple issues of SC & Mor Flat Out. I have been checking and just can't put my finger on the article. Maybe someone else also remembers it and can help.
My wife told me if I went to one more Sprint Car race
she would leave me.................I'm sure gonna miss
that ol' gal.

Anybody there for Darrell Hanestad's wild ride into the trees off of 3-4 at Calistoga? Blake's dad Broc Robertson owned that car.

Hello--
I did an interview with Steven Tiner for FlatOut Magazine. Steven is a BR Motorsports employee. It was the April '09 issue. Steve Kinser was on the cover, whom I interviewed as well. I'm not sure if this is the same article that you speak of, but I hope this helps.
Respectfully,
Gary Costa

I like to think that I keep up to date on the latest sprint car news but apparently I fell WAY behind on this one.
