Blake Feese (born February 8, 1982) is an American second-generation^{[citation needed]}auto racing driver. He competed inUSAC before joiningHendrick Motorsports in 2004 and 2005 as adevelopment driver, racing inARCA and theNASCAR Busch Series for the team. After being released from that deal, he drove in those two series as well as theNASCAR Truck Series part-time with a number of other teams through2011.

Feese began racing at the age of ten inquarter midgets, where he won his first two starts, moving up to Mini-sprints two years later. He won the 600cc track championship atJacksonville Raceway in the mini-sprint division in 1998, before moving up to main Sprint Cars, where he won once, and was named Rookie of the Year.

In 2000, he drove in theInternational Racing Association, winning three races. In 2001, he competed in his firstWorld of Outlaws race atBristol Motor Speedway, finishing ninth. Later, he won a WoO sanctioned event atKnoxville Raceway, then won again at the All-Star sprint atEldora Speedway the following season.

Late in the season, he met NASCAR winnerJimmy Spencer, who would help Feese get a NASCAR driving contract.^{[citation needed]}

After going through 2003 without a major ride, Feese metRick Hendrick and signed to drive two races for him that season in the ARCA series. In his second start atNashville Superspeedway, Feese qualified 3rd and won the race. After posting two more top-tens that season, he won his second career ARCA race atTalladega Superspeedway. He made hisBusch Series debut atKentucky Speedway in the No. 87ditechChevrolet Monte Carlo forNEMCO Motorsports, starting sixteenth but finishing 41st after an early crash. After running two more races for NEMCO, he finished the year running the No. 00 Chevy forHaas CNC Racing, posting his best finish of the year, a 25th at theAaron's 312.

In 2005 during the first ARCA Series race of the season at Daytona, Feese was involved in a scary accident on pit road where came into his pit stall too fast and overshot his pit stall and went through the hole in the pit wall hitting four photographers before coming to a stop. Fortunately, no one was seriously hurt but Feese had to retire with radiator damage.^[1] Feese moved up to the Busch Series that same season to share the No. 5Lowe's Chevy with fellow Hendrick development driversBoston Reid andKyle Krisiloff. Feese struggled during the season however, his best finish being a 23rd atAtlanta out of six starts. He also made hisCraftsman Truck Series debut at Kentucky forBilly Ballew Motorsports, starting 30th and finishing 15th.

At the end of 2005, Feese was released from his contract at Hendrick, and went back to racing sprint cars in Indiana during his time without a ride, of which he would not find one until 2007, where he ran a limited ARCA and Busch Series schedule withSadler Brothers Racing. He also attempted to qualify for theARCA season-opener at Daytona forBaker Curb Racing usingNorm Benning Racing's owner points, but failed to qualify. Feese did not run any NASCAR or ARCA races until August 2009, where he competed in the Truck Series race atNashville in the No. 15Toyota Tundra forBilly Ballew Motorsports, starting 18th and finishing 12th.

In 2011, Feese would joinTurner Motorsports, competing in most of the second half of theTruck Series season in their No. 32 truck, replacingBrad Sweet,^[2] who only ran the first eight races of the season in the truck.

Feese was replaced byMiguel Paludo, who moved over from the No. 7Red Horse Racing truck, in the Turner No. 32 for2012, which left him without a ride. He ended up not finding a ride for that year or any year after that.
