LEXINGTON, S.C. — Opening Night for the Lexington County Blowfish is Friday, May 30 and that will be the first game of the 20th season of Blowfish Baseball.
Part of the 20th anniversary season is a special NASCAR Night on June 7 and it will feature a local youngster who has dreams of competing in Formula One.
Kenneth Blevins, Jr, an 11-year-old from Pelion, has had quite the start to his racing career.
The Pelion Elementary fifth-grader has a pair of championship trophies which he won a couple of weeks ago. In late April, Kenneth was in Concord, N.C. where he finished first in the K1 Speed United States Junior Division. That was followed by a trip to California where he won the K1 Speed E-World Championship in the Junior Division, claiming the $8,000 1st place prize.
Kenneth is interested in two very different forms of racing, He has grown up in a NASCAR state but his goal is to one day, compete in Formula One. But he says his favorite driver is Chase Elliott who drives on the NASCAR tour for Rick Hendrick Motorsports.
In an effort to promote Kenneth and his racing endeavors, Kenneth will be a part of NASCAR Night with the Blowfish as he will be signing autographs on that June 7 evening of celebrating baseball and racing.
