Paul Blevins, one of the successful

campaigners in NHRA’s Modified class with a U.S. Nationals title, world

championship, divisional championships, and national records to his

credit, and later a standout racer in the Pro Stock ranks, died April

22.

Blevins, who ran his cars out of the respected Duffy’s

Performance Specialties shop on the East Coast, was a four-time

Division 1 champion and multi national record holder in Modified with

string of Modified production racecars.
