Lasoski Sweeps Knoxville Opener by Bob Wilson
www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 1 of 64
Knoxville, IA – Danny Lasoski made it look easy as he swept to a convincing win at the 41st season opener at the Knoxville Raceway Saturday night.
Lasoski, who now pilots the Gil Sonner owned, Casey’s General Stores Maxim, repeated his Knoxville opening win on one year ago, and led all but one lap in the process. The win paid the 5-time Knoxville track champion $2,500 for his 45th feature event win here. He additionally captured his qualifying heat as well as turned in the fastest time trial.
A five-car pileup on the backchute at the beginning of the race, sent three cars to the sidelines early. Danny Young led the initial circuit of the ten-mile event until Lasoski made a pass for the lead at the start-finish line on the next go-around. The Missouri native was then never seriously challenged to the checkereds. Young fell from the race just after half-way point.
Australian Skip Jackson came from a fifth row starting position to claim the runner-up position just prior to Young’s exit. He was chased to the finish by fellow Aussie turned Knoxville resident, Jaymie Moyle. Craig Dollansky took passing honors from a 9th row start to place fourth and Ryan Jamison finished fifth. Dennis Moore Jr., Chad Mellenberndt, Kenny Hansen, Jeff Shepard and Tony Moro rounded out the top ten finishers.
In the companion 360 c.i. sprint feature, Duane Van Heukelom claimed his initial feature event in a near photo finish. The estimated crowd of 7,500 stood to watch as Jeff Haines roared out of the fourth turn on the final lap to chase Van Heukelom down the stretch. The surge fell short by half a car length. Steve Breazeale was third, Lee Nelson took fourth, and Dwight Snodgrass finished fifth. A total of 71 sprinters from nine states and Australia competed in both classes during the evening.

Blaney Tops WoO Spring Opener Prelim by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, IA – Dave Blaney, driving the Casey Luna Vivarin J&J sprint car, captured the World of Outlaws Spring Opener at Knoxville Raceway Friday night.
The 20-lap feature event saw two caution flags, as Joe Gaerte led from the pole position through lap four. He and Blaney drove the historic Knoxville half-mile oval at a furious pace in a side by side fashion, with Gaerte taking the pole and Blaney up high on the cushion. Blaney’s line proved to be the fastest, as he stormed by the flagstand in the lead at the completion of the fifth circuit.
In the meantime, Steve Kinser had come into contention after transferring from the B Main into a fourth row starting position. Kinser too had found the high groove to his liking as well as did Knoxville track titlist Danny Lasoski who was running fourth.
Blaney entered lap traffic at the five-mile point and managed to pick off the backmarkers with ease. Gaerte stayed low and he too hit the traffic at opportune times and stayed within striking distance of the front-running Blaney. Kinser and Lasoski each drove on the cushion but seemed unable to make a dent in the gap which separated them from the top two cars. Sammy Swindell had also come into contention and trailed Lasoski at a short distance.
On lap fifteen, Lasoski shot into turn one, jumped the cushion and coasted to a halt in turn two, his motor having expired. From that point on, it became a trophy dash to finish the final five laps of the race. Blaney held his position on the restart to gain his seventh career feature event on Knoxville soil and claim $4,000 for the win during a night of frigid temperatures.
Kinser passed on the white flag lap to take the runner-up spot and the persistent Gaerte claimed third to take his best finish to date at this track. Swindell finished a strong fourth, while Greg Hodnett took fifth. Jeff Swindell, Jac Haudenschild, Andy Hillenburg, Skip Jackson and Jeff Shepard completed the top ten finishers.
Heat race events were won by Sammy Swindell, Haudenschild, Kenny Jacobs and Johnny Herrera. Kinser, who set fast time among the 53 competitors, won the B main and Bob Weuve took the C main. Gaerte captured the dash.

Snow Cancels WoO Knoxville Sprints by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, IA – World of Outlaws officials and Knoxville Raceway have postponed the sprint car races scheduled at the Marion County Fairgrounds on Saturday night (April 30) due to inclement weather. The event has been rescheduled for June 18. Same tickets may be used at that time or may be sent to the track office for a refund.

Herrera is New Knoxville Kingpin by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, IA – Johnny Herrera scored an exciting win at Knoxville Raceway Saturday night as he guided the Guy Forbrook Jackpot Junction Casino American Challenge to a 20-lap feature event win.
Herrera, who had just come on board the Forbrook sprinter after a string of drivers had failed to take the car into a consistent front running position, began the feature race on the front row. Pole-sitter Brent Antill took the point position at the start, but a caution on the third circuit regrouped the cars and Herrera was able to get by the Antill car on the restart.
Herrera found the low side of the half-mile oval to his liking and began to slowly pull away from the field. Lap six saw Danny Lasoski also pass Antill for the runner-up position and by the halfway point he trailed Herrera by twenty yards, but was unable to gain ground in lapped traffic.
A yellow flag on lap thirteen again bunched the cars and when the race resumed, Herrera found the bottom again and Lasoski tried the top. As the laps counted down, the margin between the top two cars began to grow and in the end Lasoski also dropped to the low side of the track in order to keep pace with the Herrera machine.
At the finish, Herrera had built a comfortable margin to take the checkered flag in his first time behind the wheel of the Forbrook sprinter. The win paid the New Mexican driver $2,500. Lasoski, Forbrook’s driver during the 1993 campaign, finished second and received $2,000 for his efforts.
Fast qualifier Jerry Richert Jr. drove a steady race to finish third. Antill faded to fourth and Danny Smith claimed the fifth spot. Dennis Moore Jr., Ryan Jamison from a 20th spot, Brooke Tatnell, Chad Mellenberndt and Leonard Lee formed the top ten finishers.

Lasoski Covers Knoxville Sprint Field by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, IA – Danny Lasoski took career feature event victory number 46 at Knoxville Raceway Saturday night as he guided the Gil Sonner prepared Casey’s General Stores American Challenge to a 20-lap win on the Marion County Fairgrounds half-mile oval. www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 8 of 64
Lasoski, 5-time and defending track champion, began the event in the fourth row and quickly chased down pole-sitter Jaymie Moyle. Lap three saw a yellow flag fly and on the ensuing restart, Lasoski made a flying pass of Moyle out of turn four to take the lead.
A second caution flag came out at the five-mile mark as Lasoski enjoyed a huge lead over Moyle. On the restart, Lasoski roared away from the field and 1993 Knoxville 360 c.i. sprint champion Danny Young passed Moyle for the runner-up position.
At the checkered flags, Lasoski had forged a half-lap lead on the field to claim the $2,500 first place prize. The win marked three feature wins in three nights as the “Show Me” State driver also claimed victories in the Illinois Speedweek.
Young finished second and Johnny Herrera, who started beside Lasoski in the race, took third. Moyle maintained a fourth place finish and Craig Dollansky was fifth. Skip Jackson, Randy Smith, Marlon Jones, Leonard Lee, and Ryan Jamison rounded out the top ten finishers.
In the 360 c.i. sprint feature, Randy Martin realized a long-time dream as he captured his initial main event at Knoxville. The race marked the halfway point in the Skoal Bandit Racing ™ Kum & Go 360 Limited Sprints points series. Jeff Haines was second, rookie Bruce Williams took third, Steve Breazeale place fourth and Steve Wares finished fifth.
Eighty cars and drivers from 12 states and Australia competed during the evening.

Lasoski is Hot in Midwest Sprint Action by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, IA – Danny Lasoski continued his winning ways at the Marion County Fairgrounds as he was victorious in the 20-lap feature event at Knoxville Raceway Saturday night. The win was the third of the season on Knoxville soil, as the Missouri driver captured Illinois Speedweek, two Knoxville features and a 360 sprint main all in a matter of ten days.
The defending track champion began the event in the sixth row, and quickly moved the Gil Sonner prepared sprinter into contention at the start of the ten-mile race. Craig Dollansky took the point position on the second lap, and Lasoski put the Casey’s General Stores sprinter behind him three laps later.
As the two front-running cars flew past the flagstand at the end of lap nine, Lasoski dove to the low side going into turn one and took the lead. Dollansky stayed close for a circuit, but was no match for the Lasoski Maxim which seemed able to run anywhere on the half-mile oval.
Lasoski had forged a half-lap lead on the field at the checkered flags to win the non-stop race, which was just ten seconds off the track record. The win was worth $2,500 to the five-time track champion.
Dollansky maintained his position to finish second, Johnny Herrera took third, Jerry Richert Jr. place fourth and John Kearney was fifth. Danny Young, Jaymie Moyle, Terry McCarl, Jeff Tuttle and Skip Jackson from the tail, rounded out the top ten finishers.
Lee Nelson claimed the 360 c.i. sprint feature before a crowd estimated at 7,000. Nelson, the son of Knoxville Raceway Hall of Famer, Skip Nelson, led the distance to take his initial main event win here. Scott Whitworth, Bobby Mincer, Terry Alexander and Virgil Brandt were the top five runners in the race.

McCarl Halts Lasoski Knoxville Streak by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, IA – Terry McCarl has been in a number of sprint cars during the 1994 tour, but Saturday night at Knoxville Raceway the second generation driver proved that you can come home and win in a first-time ride.
McCarl took the Manny Rockhold J&J Automotive Machine sprinter from a front row starting position to gain a hard fought 20-lap feature event win in his first time in the car. The win paid the Iowa native $2,500 for his ninth career victory on Knoxville soil and stopped the Lasoski Midwest feature event win streak at ten.
In what could well be described as one of the finest races to be contested at Knoxville in many years, the first portion of the event found six sprinters battling for the top spot in such close proximity that the proverbial “blanket” could have covered them all. Pole-sitter Brooke Tatnell claimed the first nine laps for the nation of Australia as he led the charge running a low circuit of laps on the half mile.
McCarl stayed right on his rear bumper in the second position until Danny Young took the runner-up spot after eight laps. Two laps later, Young grabbed the lead as Danny Lasoski then entered the fray, gaining fourth after a 6th row start and Skip Jackson and Johnny Herrera closed ranks on the leaders as well.
On lap 15, McCarl dove to the low side of Young and took the lead going through turns three and four on a track which had turned hard and slick. Lasoski was by Young shortly thereafter and the two front-running cars with Young in tow, forged into lapped traffic at a furious pace.
With three laps to go, a yellow flag brought the field to a slow pace and on the single-file restart, McCarl was able to keep Lasoski at bay and take the checkered flag. Jackson made a late pass of Young to finish third and Herrera came across the line fifth. Jeff Tuttle, Jaymie Moyle, Bob White, Craig Dollansky and Tatnell rounded out the top ten finishers. www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 13 of 64
In the companion 360 c.i. sprint feature, Randy Martin became the first repeat winner of the season, as he led the distance to claim the 15-lap event. Rookie Bruce Williams was second, Terry Alexander finished third and Dwight Snodgrass took fourth.

Number 47 Wins Number 48/Ferkel Repeats as Legends Champ by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, IA – Danny Lasoski and Rick Ferkel came away winners at Knoxville Raceway Saturday night at the 5th Annual National Sprint Car Hall of Fame & Museum Induction weekend.
Lasoski, driving the Gil Sonner #47 Casey’s General Stores Maxim sprinter, captured his forty-eighth career feature on Knoxville soil. The “Dude” started the 20-lap feature event in the sixth row and quickly made his way to the front on a track which had turned hard and slick. In front of him at the start, two Aussies, Brooke www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 15 of 64
Tatnell and Jaymie Moyle fought a determined battle for the top spot with Tatnell edging his fellow countryman for six tours of the half-mile oval.
A yellow flag on the seventh circuit forced a single-file restart, and when the green once again few, Lasoski took the high route and caught Tatnell coming out of turn four to take the lead which he never relinquished. A three-car tangle five laps later did not slow the Lasoski charge to the checkereds.
With Lasoski firmly in command, the real race developed for the number two spot. Jeff Tuttle held it at the end after wrenching the position away from Tatnell on the final lap. Moyle took a close fourth and Ryan Jamison finished fifth. Craig Dollansky, Jerry Richert Jr., Gary Wright, Terry McCarl and Doran Doty formed the top ten finishers.
The 2nd Annual “Petron Plus Legends Classic” saw the Ohio Traveler, Rick Ferkel, repeat as champion in a 360 c.i. car owned by the Lasoski family. In the 22-lap event, a memorable battle developed between front runners Benny Rapp and Leroy Van Conett. The two veterans dueled side-by-side, exchanging the lead numerous times throughout the first fifteen laps of the championship feature.
Ferkel, who started in the sixth row, methodically picked his way to the front, but was unable to make a great deal of headway in tracking down the two front-runners. A yellow flag on the tenth lap bunched the cars for a restart and it was then that Ferkel made his bid to take the point position.
Coming by the flagstand on lap 16, Ferkel grabbed the lead and was never challenged for that spot to the checkereds. The win paid the Buckeye native $2,500. The waning laps saw Billy Engelhart take the runner-up spot. Van Conett finished third, Rapp was fourth and Bill Utz grabbed fifth.
The event, which was postponed twenty-four hours due to rain, celebrated the 5th NSCHoF induction weekend. Fifteen new members were inducted in afternoon ceremonies including Knoxville Raceway’s own director of racing, Ralph Capitani.

Kinser Opens WoO Valvoline Classic with Win by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, IA – Steve Kinser drove the Karl Kinser Valvoline Maxim to a flag to flag win at Knoxville Raceway Friday night during the opening round of a two-day World of Outlaws Valvoline Classic weekend.
Kinser, who started on the front row of the 20-lap feature event, held off Jeff Swindell on the opening circuit of the race to take the point position. Swindell chased the fleet Kinser for the entire distance on the half-mile oval, but was never able to mount a serious challenge to the “Outlaw King”. The first half of the race saw Swindell become a contender only when Kinser entered lap traffic on the seventh go-around as several backmarkers impeded his speed.
By the tenth circuit, Swindell had closed to within 10 yards as he too became a marked man with brother Sammy edging onto his rear bumper. For the next five laps, the brother duo became the race to watch as they chased each other in close proximity. Meanwhile, Kinser was using all of the track to pass in traffic, but continued to run high on the cushion when he could. With this tactic, he once again began to pull away from those behind him.
Lap 16 saw double yellow flags slow the race, and on the restart it was Danny Lasoski who saw green and made a pass of two cars to gain fourth position. Johnny Herrera likewise moved up a spot and those two pilots challenged one another to the end of the race.
In the end it was Kinser taking the checkered flag, his 42nd at Knoxville, by a comfortable margin, with Jeff Swindell finishing second. Sammy took a close third, with Lasoski fending off Herrera to claim fourth. Kenny Jacobs, Stevie Smith, Dave Blaney from fifteenth, Joe Gaerte, and Jac Haudenschild rounded out the top ten finishers.

Kinser and Lasoski Split WoO Valvoline Classic Loot by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, IA – Steve Kinser and Danny Lasoski each won feature events at the World of Outlaws Valvoline Classic at Knoxville Raceway Saturday night. The double features saw the second feature inverted from the finish of the first feature event.
Kinser led the initial 25-lapper from start to finish, but was dogged the entire distance by Knoxville track regular, Danny Lasoski. At the five-mile point, Lasoski made a pass of the Kinser Valvoline machine, but a yellow flag forced a single file restart, and Kinser regained the top spot.
As the race wound down, Lasoski made a second run at the “Outlaw King” and the twosome diced for the lead while they forged through lapped traffic. A second yellow flag again spoiled Lasoski’s bid, as Kinser was able to run away for the $8,200 win in the remaining laps.
Lasoski claimed the runner-up spot at the finish, Sammy Swindell took third, Greg Hodnett charged from deep in the pack for fourth, and Jeff Swindell was fifth. Rounding out the top ten finishers were Andy Hillenburg, Mark Kinser, Dave Blaney, Bobby Davis Jr. and Jeff Shepard.
The second feature saw Lasoski and Kinser start at the tail of the twenty-four car field. Stevie Smith led the initial circuit as local Knoxville standout Ryan Jamison came from a fifth row starting position to grab the top spot on the second go-around. And it was there that Jamison stayed until Lasoski and Kinser joined him as the race hit the halfway point.

The large grandstand crowd, which had endured an early evening rain delay, was given a memorable final ten laps of racing, as Lasoski took the lead on the fifteenth lap. Kinser got by Jamison four laps later and all eyes were glued to that duo as they forged through lapped traffic in the non-stop affair.
In the end, it was Lasoski taking the win in the Casey’s General Stores sponsored machine, while Kinser settled for second in the $100,000 Valvoline Classic weekend. Jamison fended off Mark Kinser to take third and Hodnett claimed fifth. Haudenschild, Davis, Blaney, Stevie Smith and Jeff Swindell rounded out the top ten finishers. Lasoski upheld his name’s heritage and performed a “Polish Lap” during the slow-down laps after the checkereds had flown.
Bruce Drottz became the 6th different winner on the season in the Knoxville 360 c.i. sprints. The race, which was the third leg of the Skoal Bandit Racing Series saw Drottz lead the entire 15-lap distance. Trailing at the finish were Lee Nelson, Randy Martin from the tail, Bob Thompson and Mike Twedt.

Lasoski Devastates Knoxville Field for 50th Win by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, IA – Danny Lasoski, aboard the Gil Sonner Casey’s General Stores Maxim, was the absolute master of the Knoxville Raceway Saturday night as he swept to his 50th career feature win at the Marion County half- mile oval.
The 20-lap feature was red flagged at the outset, as a two-car wreck on the front stretch brought the field to a halt. Once the race was restarted, front row starter, Jeff Tuttle, grabbed the top spot and rode the cushion to a comfortable lead. A yellow flag on lap six again slowed the field and set the stage for the Lasoski charge to the front.
When the race resumed, Lasoski took the point position and never looked back as he built a margin of well over half a lap over his nearest competitor. The win paid the Missouri driver $2,500 and placed him within nine wins of tying Doug Wolfgang’s all-time feature winning record at this track. In victory lane, the “Dude” was showered with champagne in celebration of his milestone win.
Craig Dollansky came across the stripe for second, Terry McCarl was third, Danny Young claimed fourth and Tuttle faded to fifth. Skip Jackson, Bob Weuve, Jaymie Moyle, Bob White and Billy Bell formed the top ten finishers.
Three red flags were thrown on the 360 c.i. feature before one lap was run in the event, as Terry Alexander drove away from the field in the 15-lap event. On the white flag lap, a right-rear tire blew, throwing Alexander into the third turn fence. Division rookie Larry Pinegar II, who was running second held that position to take his initial win on Knoxville soil. Duane Van Heukelom, Virgil Brandt, Bob Thompson and Lee Nelson chased Pinegar to the checkereds.

Two First-time Winners at Knoxville Raceway by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, IA – Skip Jackson and Todd Wessels each captured feature events at Knoxville Raceway Saturday night as this central Iowa racing facility ran its annual Twin Twenty racing events.
In the first 20-lap main event, Jackson, aboard the RCSN Racing Maxim, outran the field of cars from his pole position start to claim his initial feature at the Marion County Fairgrounds. His nearest challenger was fellow Aussie Jaymie Moyle who kept him in sight the entire distance.
In a race which went green the entire distance, Jackson finished ahead of Moyle as the duo crossed the finish line in close proximity. Brent Antill closed fast at the latter portion of the race to finish third. Danny Young was fourth and Dennis Moore Jr. took fifth. Marlon Jones, Randy Smith, Terry McCarl, Bob White and Ryan Jamison rounded out the top ten finishers.
The second feature was completely inverted by the finishing order of the first. Todd Wessels led from the start and stayed in front to the finish. His Ron Howe Maxim built huge leads during the race only to see the commanding margin disappear late in the event in lapped traffic.
As the laps counted down, Danny Young, who started near the rear of the event, caught the Wessels’ machine, but could not overtake the front-runner. Randy Smith also joined the fray, but fell from the event late in the going with mechanical problems. After Smith dropped out, Terry McCarl caught the top two cars and the last laps of the event became a guess as to the final outcome.
When the three cars roared out the final turn, Young spun his car after McCarl made a sweeping pass of him. Wessels sprinted to the checkered flags to take his initial win here, but also saw a yellow displayed as well for the stalled Young machine. McCarl finished second, young Lance Blevins was third, Ryan Jamison took fourth and Ray Lipsey placed fifth. Completing the top ten finishers were Antill, Jackson, Moore Jr., Jeff Tuttle and Moyle. www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 25 of 64
Two winners were also declared in the 360 sprint division as Randy Martin and Duane Van Heukelom each claimed wins in the Twin Fifteen features. For Martin, it was his third win on the season here as he was chased to the finish line by Dwight Snodgrass, Bruce Williams and Scott Whitworth.
Van Heukelom came on strong late in the second inverted feature to take the lead with five laps to go after Jim Nichols had led from the outset. Martin was second from a tail end starting nod. Bob Thompson was third and Nichols fell to fourth.

Lasoski Takes 7th Win at Knoxville Raceway by Bob Wilson
www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 27 of 64
Knoxville, IA – Danny Lasoski is one tough customer. After undergoing major abdominal surgery a week and a half ago, the “Dude from Dover” returned to Knoxville Raceway Saturday night to claim his seventh feature event on the 1994 race season.
The 20-lap feature event saw pole-sitter Craig Dollansky grab the point position at the start of the race and cruise to a twenty-car length lead after the first four circuits of the event. Lasoski, who started in the fourth row, picked his way forward and was running third at that point.
Suddenly, Dollansky slowed going into turns three and four , as second running Ray Lipsey and Lasoski came upon his hapless vehicle. Lipsey nearly became entangled with the Dollansky sprinter while Lasoski shot to the low side of the track and took the lead.
Dollansky eventually came to a halt and the field was slowed to remove his car. On the restart, Lasoski roared to a big lead as Terry McCarl later slipped by Lipsey to take the runner-up position.
The win for Lasoski came aboard the Gil Sonner Casey’s General Stores Maxim sprinter and paid the “Show Me” state pilot $2,500. It was his 51st victory here.
McCarl finished one hundred yards behind to take second, Lipsey held his third spot, Danny Young took fourth and Jaymie Moyle was fifth. Rounding out the top ten finishers were Marlon Jones, Skip Jackson from 20th starting position, Ryan Jamison, Jerry Richert Jr. and Mike Reinke.
In the 360 sprint division, Scott Whitworth captured his initial 1994 Knoxville feature after two leaders exited from the event. Randy Martin dropped from the top spot at the half-way mark and Jeff Haines struck the turn two fence two lap later, also while leading.
In the end it was Whitworth taking the victory as Lee Nelson, Daniel Coggeshell and Mike Twedt trailed at the checkereds. Numerous wrecks and mishaps prolonged the evening.

Steve Kinser Captures Knoxville County Fair Sprints by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, IA – Steve Kinser tuned up for the August Knoxville Nationals by winning the World of Outlaws stopover at the 87th Annual Marion County Fair at Knoxville Raceway Wednesday night.
Kinser, who seems to run stronger at Knoxville as the mid-August Nationals approach, began the 25-lap feature event on the outside front row. At the green, he out-dragged fellow front row starter Danny Lasoski out of turn two on the opening lap and raced away to a commanding lead.
When Kinser entered lapped traffic on the sixth circuit, Lasoski began to close the gap. Just when Lasoski came within striking distance a yellow flag was displayed and the field realigned for a single-file restart.
When the race was resumed, Kinser again pulled away to a margin of well over 100 yards ahead of second place Lasoski. Again Lasoski caught the Karl Kinser prepared Maxim when lapped traffic became a factor. But a second yellow flag slowed the event and forced the cars to run single file.
The restart was a duplicate of the previous two but within three tours of the half-mile oval, yet another caution flag slowed the field with six laps to go.
When the race was restarted, Lasoski tried a new strategy and headed to the cushion of the track. With Kinser running the low side, Lasoski would very nearly catch the fleet Indiana driver coming out of turns two and four. Most everyone in the grandstands stood to witness the duel in the waning laps of the contest, until suddenly on the white flag circuit, Lasoski slowed significantly on the backchute while Kinser blasted his way to the finish line.
For Kinser it was his 44th feature event win on Knoxville soil, as he was paid $5,200 for his efforts. Sammy Swindell, who was close to the front-runners throughout the event finished second. Johnny Herrera was third and Andy Hillenburg took fourth. Jac Haudenschild drove a steady race to finish fifth. Rounding out the top ten finishers were Dave Blaney, Jeff Shepard, Kenny Jacobs, Jeff Swindell and Stevie Smith. Lasoski finished seventeenth, the victim of engine problems.
Qualifying heat events were captured by Smith, and Knoxville regulars Craig Dollansky, Dennis Moore Jr. and Jaymie Moyle. Kenny McCarl won the C main and Joe Gaerte was victorious in the B main. Lasoski came home the winner in the dash.

Van Buskirk and Ver Beek take Knoxville Fair Features by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, IA – Rex Van Buskirk and Ron Ver Beek each captured feature event wins at Knoxville Raceway Thursday night during the annual Marion County Fair.
Van Buskirk led from the outset in the IMCA modified 20-lap feature event and went on to capture the fair date win. One yellow flag slowed the event, but Van Buskirk kept a steady line on the cushion of the big half-mile oval to take the $500 victory. He was chased to the line by fellow Iowa drivers Andy Davis, Dave Farren, and Missouri pilot Larry Clawson. Jeff Mitrisin placed fifth.
Thirty-eight drivers dove under the old one-lap qualifying record of 24.089 set during the IMCA Super Nationals by Kevin Larkins in 1986. John Moore of Nevada, IA was fastest of the forty-nine modified entrants with a one lap time of 22.932.
In the companion Oskaloosa Hobby Stock events, Ron Ver Beek won the 15-lap feature in a race in which he took the lead on the final lap. Bryan Nevins, who had led for much of the race, settled for the runner-up honors. JR Croy, Bob Crouse, and Mark Fee formed the top five finishers.

Spaulding is Victorious at County Fair Enduro by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, IA – Randy Spaulding of Knoxville came home the winner of the eighth annual Marion County Fair Enduro 200 at Knoxville Raceway Friday night. A large crowd was on hand to watch the hometown boy take the win ahead of 98 competing enduro cars.
Spaulding, who won this same event in 1991, was six laps ahead of his nearest competitor at the end of the two- hour time limit. He was paid $1,000 for his 155-lap effort.
Taking second in the event was John Thompson of Montezuma who is annually a top ten finisher. Two Des Moines area drivers, Dan Banker of Mitchellville and Kenny Miller of the capital city placed third and fourth respectively, the same placings they received at the 1992 event. Mike Worthington of Knoxville finished fifth.

Several red flags halted the race for the removal of dangerously stalled vehicles and for the watering of the half- mile oval to keep speeds at a lower rate. One year ago, this event was rain-cancelled during the flooding of 1993.

Lasoski Cleans House at Knoxville for 8th Sprint Feature by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, IA – Danny “the Dude” Lasoski captured his eighth feature event win on the season as he piloted the Gil Sonner Casey’s General Stores Maxim into victory lane Saturday night at Knoxville Raceway.
Lasoski struggled during the opening laps on the half-mile oval from his fourth row starting position, but a yellow flag on the second circuit aided in his march to the front. On the ensuing restart, he was able to pass five cars in one lap and found himself in third behind leader Aaron Berryhill and Aussie Skip Jackson.
Berryhill had built a sizeable lead, but Lasoski was in the hunt and he quickly disposed of Jackson and caught Berryhill in lapped traffic on the ninth go-around and took the lead on the back stretch. From that point, he never looked back and won the 10-mile event by over half a lap.
For the Missouri native, the win marked career win number 52 at this racing facility and paid him $2,500 for his efforts. Lasoski additionally set fast time for the evening and won the first qualifying heat event.
Terry McCarl came across the line for second, having passed Berryhill five laps from the finish. Berryhill was third, Bob White drove to his best finish of the season to gain fourth and Jackson claimed fifth. Ryan Jamison, Chad Radel, Jaymie Moyle, Todd Ribick and Randy Smith formed the top ten finishers.
In the 360 sprint division, Lee Nelson won the 15-lap feature event after a hard fought battle for much of the race with second place finisher Dwight Snodgrass. The win additionally paid Nelson $1,000 as he was crowned champion of the Skoal Bandit Racing ™ Kum & Go Limited Sprints Points Series. Two Missouri drivers, Randy Martin and Scott Whitworth placed fourth and fifth respectively in the racing event. Bob Thompson finished fifth.

McCarl Stops Lasoski Sprint Streak at Knoxville by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, IA – Second generation driver Terry McCarl drove the Guy Forbrook Jackpot Junction Casino Maxim to a popular win at Knoxville Raceway Saturday night.
McCarl, who came aboard the Forbrook sprinter in June, stopped a Danny Lasoski streak at the Marion County Fairgrounds which for all purposes had been running since he beat the “Dude” here back in early June. The victory was McCarl’s 10th at this half-mile oval and moved him into the top twenty all-time leading career feature winners.
Pole-sitter Bob White took the initial lead at the start of the race, and after a yellow slowed the field early in the race, a mad-dash restart ensued which saw White hold the top spot while McCarl and Lasoski traded the runner- up position three times in two turns. After the field sorted itself out, McCarl grabbed the top spot from White going down the backstretch on lap six. Lasoski slipped into the second spot on the next circuit.
With all 7,500 spectator eyes fixed on the front two cars, McCarl and Lasoski toured the Knoxville oval lap after lap, as first McCarl was hindered by lap traffic while Lasoski made a run at him. Then Lasoski would fall back, impeded by slower cars and McCarl would pull away. When they were able, both drivers ran the cushion close to the fence, banging against it numerous times each lap.
A red flag and later a yellow flag could not stop McCarl’s visit to victory lane as in the end he flashed across the finish line fifty yards ahead of the Lasoski mount. Skip Jackson ran a strong race and finished third as White claimed fourth. Dennis Moore Jr. was fifth. Rounding out the top ten finishers were Ryan Jamison, Danny Young, Bob Weuve, Manny Rockhold and Kenny McCarl.
In the 360 sprint division, Randy Martin claimed his fourth feature event of the season here in a race in which he led the distance. Fellow Missouri driver Scott Whitworth trailed at second, Steve Breazeale was a close third, track points leader Lee Nelson took fourth and Brett Golik finished a career best at fifth.

Lasoski is Back in Form in Knoxville Sprints by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, IA – Danny Lasoski returned to his winning form as he swept to a 20-lap feature event win at Knoxville Raceway Saturday night.
Lasoski, who started on the pole of the event, began the evening on a sour note when his top wing collapsed during qualifying time trials. The slower time enabled the defending track champion to get the front row starting nod, which he used to his advantage as he roared to a huge lead after the feature event went green.
Lap five saw the field slow for a caution period, and on the ensuing restart, a three-car pileup stopped the race completely. When the race was green again, Lasoski was chased closely by Terry McCarl, the driver who stopped the Lasoski winning streak one week ago. Both drivers placed their mounts on the cushion of the half- mile oval and ran nose to tail until a red flag waved on lap twelve for a single car accident.
When the racing resumed, the Lasoski-McCarl match up continued as no more than 50 yards ever separated the fleet duo.
As the event wound down, Lasoski suddenly and without warning, seemed to jump the cushion in turn four and skidded nearly to the infield. Although he was able to gather up the Guy Forbrook Maxim to claim the lap, McCarl motored past him going into turn one. Lasoski reclaimed the lead coming out of turn two and continued on for the win. He later said that the near disastrous event in turn four was his own fault as he thought that he would try running above the cushion. The victory was win number 53 for “the Dude” at this racing facility.
McCarl stayed close to take second and Johnny Herrera finished a strong third. Aaron Berryhill placed fourth and Danny Young was fifth. Rounding out the top ten finishers were Jeff Tuttle, John Kearney, Craig Dollansky, Kenny McCarl and Skip Jackson.
In the 360 sprint division, Randy Martin captured his fifth feature event win on the season after race and division leading Lee Nelson dropped from the event. Steve Breazeale challenged Martin at several points during the race, but had to settle for the runner-up position. Bruce Drottz finished third and Dwight Snodgrass came from the tail to take fourth. Steve Wares was fifth.

Lipsey Warms Up for Nationals with Knoxville Win by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, IA – Ray Lipsey, driving a self-owned sprinter, came away the winner of the “Saturday before the Nationals” 20-lap feature event at Knoxville Raceway Saturday night.
Lipsey, who last won here in 1987, was a factor early on in the race after starting in the fourth row, but he had to wait until late in the event to take the lead and the win.
Ryan Jamison grabbed the point position from his pole start when the race began. He was chased by four cars around the half-mile oval at close quarters until they completed the fifth lap. At that point, third running Brian Schnee tapped wheels with another car, causing him to spin just beneath the flag stand and slide towards the first turn fence. Terry McCarl had nowhere to go and both cars collided and ended up striking the fence hard.
A second red was unfurled two laps later for Jaymie Moyle and when the race resumed, Danny Young held the top spot. Lipsey was chasing the Young machine within striking distance as both drivers chose to race the cushion of the track. www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 40 of 64
As Young entered the eighteenth lap, he also came upon a group of lapped cars. In turn two, Young lopped his car and came to a halt, forcing the track to take a caution period. On the restart, Lipsey held the lead as he guided the Speedway Motors Schnee to the $2,500 win.
Finishing a close second was Bob White as Max Dumesny drove from the tail of the event to take third. Brent Antill rebounded from a terrifying crash one week ago to finish fourth and Jamison held the fifth spot at the checkereds. Marlon Jones, Young, Randy Hannagan, Skip Jackson and Craig Dollansky rounded out the top ten finishers.
In the 360 sprint division, Billy Bell won his initial feature event on the season after a race-long battle with Larry Pinegar II. Tire problems forced Pinegar to settle for a tenth place finish. Chasing Bell to the finish line were Mike Twedt, Steve Wares and Duane Van Heukelom.

Hillenburg Turns in Performance ‘Fit for a King’ by Richard Day
KNOXVILLE, IA (August 17) - Richard Petty had never seen a sprint car race before the World of Outlaws' opening-night program at the 34th Annual Knoxville Nationals.
Knowing that, fellow STP racer Andy Hillenburg presented "The King of the Stock Car Racing" with a performance "fit for a king."
"I'm glad to win the race for STP," Hillenburg told the capacity crowd from victory lane. When asked if there was any added pressure with Petty watching him," Andy said, "I don't know. It was good that Richard could come by. I'm glad he could be a part of the Nationals. It's always good to have STP here because they really help our race team."
Nine-time Knoxville Nationals champion Steve Kinser applied all the pressure Hillenburg could handle, forcing him to race flawlessly during the final 15 laps.
Hillenburg steered his #2 STP J&J deep into the third corner to take the lead from polesitter Steve Smith late in the sixth lap. Steve, father of 1993 Knoxville Nationals runner-up, Stevie, and Ms. Motorsports, Summer, last raced at the Nationals 15 years ago when the sprinters were run without wings. "The King of the Outlaws" raced past Smith the next time around, setting up the 15-lap war for the checkered flag.
The leaders caught the backmarkers midway through the 20-lap Preliminary Feature, and Kinser immediately started applying the pressure. "The King of the Outlaws" was reeling in Hillenburg early in the 14th lap when Andy threaded the #2 between Bob White and John Kearney to open a four-car-length advantage.
Hillenburg rode the rim around the semi-banked, 1/2-mile oval while Kinser kept the #11 Valvoline Maxim in the low groove. They raced wheel-to- wheel through the second corner with three laps remaining, and Andy won a back-straightaway drag race to maintain the lead.
Kinser made several runs at Hillenburg during the white-flag lap, but was two car-lengths behind when the crowd stood to cheer Andy taking the checkered flag.
"I messed up there once and got up on the berm in (turn) one," Hillenburg admitted, "but we picked up the momentum again. I saw Kinser again in the last lap coming out of two. I thought I was far enough ahead of him. We kind of squeezed him off there on the back straightaway, but it's nothing he wouldn't have done. We were just racing hard, and I'm glad we won for STP."
Outside polesitter Joe Gaerte finished the Preliminary Feature in third place. Terry McCarl, a Knoxville Raceway regular who led the World of Outlaws invaders into the high groove, finished fourth. Rounding out the top 10 were Kenny Jacobs, 12th-starting Johnny Herrera, Smith, Billy Pauch, Knoxville Raceway point standings leader Danny Lasoski and Frankie Kerr. www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 43 of 64
San Jose Speedway champion Randy Hannagan, one of several Nationals rookies in the field from California, set quick-time and won the "B" Feature. He passed seven sprinters from his 11th-row starting position to finish 14th.
Knoxville veteran Jeff Tuttle brought the crowd its feet during the white flag lap of the Third Heat Race when he blocked a Kinser passing attempt on the back straightaway to pull out the victory. WoO

‘Wild Child’ Wins Nationals Second Preliminary Feature by Richard Day
KNOXVILLE, IA (August 18) - A World of Outlaws official was joking with Jac Haudenschild recently about him winning both big-money races at Eldora Speedway - the King's Royal and "The Historic Big One" - since he last won a Copenhagen-Skoal Shootout feature.
"I guess you guys are going to have to start paying more money," he said.
"The Wild Child" waited for the richest sprint car racing event in history - the 34th Annual Knoxville Nationals - to win his first World of Outlaws feature race in almost two years (since September 12, 1992, at San Jose Speedway) Thursday.
"Things finally turned around for us," Haudenschild said in victory lane. "We've had some bad luck the last couple of years, so we're glad to get in the winner's circle." www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 45 of 64
Although he started the #22 Pennzoil Maxim inside the second row, Haudenschild burst into the lead immediately after the green flag fell in the Preliminary Feature. But before could complete the first lap, Keith Kauffman and Garry Brazier collided and flipped into the wall in turn one. Sid Blandford was also involved in the crash, but was able to continue racing.
Front-row starters Kevin Huntley and Jerry Richert, Jr., blocked "The Wild Child" from duplicating his earlier move to the front when the green flag replaced the red. But that didn't stop Haudenschild from taking over first place deep in the third corner.
As fellow Ohioan Dave Blaney moved in to challenge "The Wild Child" for the lead, his brother, Dale, brought out the caution flag when he stopped in turn two late in the second lap. Jeff Swindell made it a three- car battle for the lead when the race resumed, taking the runner-up spot from "The Buckeye Bullet" in the third corner. Blaney returned the favor on the back straightaway the next time around.
Mark Kinser, whose crew replaced two engines in the #5M Maxim before he won the First Snap-on Tools Heat Race, raced past six cars in the first three laps. He traded sixth place with Ecowater Fast-Time Award winner Sammy Swindell three times in the next three laps before the two bumped on the back straightaway. The slight collision knocked the rear bumper off the #5M, bringing out the caution flag and causing Mark to be sent to the back of the pack. The caution flag was flying again before another lap was completed, as Mark stopped on the front stretch. The #5M was towed into the pit area, and Mark was credited with a 19th-place finish.
After trading the runner-up spot with Jeff during the race's middle stages, "The Buckeye Bullet" passed Haudenschild for the lead deep in the first corner early in the 11th lap.
Blaney opened a comfortable lead within a lap, and caught the backmarkers with eight laps remaining. He was a half-straightaway ahead of the field when the #10 Vivarin J&J lost its left rear wheel in turn four as flagman Doug Clark reached for his white flag.
"Dave's been going fast all year, and he drove by us like we were tied," Haudenschild admitted in victory lane. "I guess we'll have to be a little sharper Friday night."
"The Wild Child" returned to the front of the field when the cars lined up for the two-lap sprint to the checkered flag, and beat Jeff to the finish line by four car-lengths for the $3,500 first prize.
With the white flag flying, Sammy made one last run at the Nationals' points lead. He took third place from Huntley in turn three, only to be passed in the fourth corner. Sammy's fourth-place finish left him in a tie with Steve Kinser for the points lead entering Friday's Vivarin Pole Position Scramble race, the last factor used to determine Saturday's championship feature lineup.
Rounding out the top 10 in the Preliminary Feature were Stevie Smith, Steve Kent, Jaymie Moyle, Richert, Blaney and "B" Feature winner Aaron Berryhill. WoO

Hodnett Takes Non-Qualifiers Feature by Richard Day
KNOXVILLE, IA (August 19) - The first three days of the 34th Annual Knoxville Nationals produced several significant firsts: Richard Petty saw his first sprint race, Andy Hillenburg won his first feature at Knoxville Raceway, Jac Haudenschild won his first World of Outlaws feature race in almost two years, the Pole Position Scramble races were instituted and Greg Hodnett won the first Copenhagen-Skoal Shootout feature of his career.
Hodnett, the 1993 World of Outlaws Rookie of the Year and a member of the Two Winners Racing team, won the Fourth Heat Race and started outside the second row. But as front-row starters Craig Dollansky and Eric Rossi exited the fourth corner as the green flag fell, Hodnett threaded the #8TW Kele & Associates Maxim between them and the three raced wheel-to-wheel down the front straightaway. Hodnett found the fast lane through turn two and took the lead as he entered the back stretch.
Hodnett was a half-straightaway ahead of his closest pursuers when Third Heat Race winner Ed Lynch, Jr., passed Dollansky for the runner-up spot midway through the third lap. Undaunted by a fourth-lap caution period, Hodnett ran away from the field again while Dollansky and Lynch resumed their battle for second place when the green flag replaced the yellow. www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 48 of 64
Hodnett caught the backmarkers with a half-straightaway lead, and maintained his comfortable advantage for much of the race's second half despite a 14th-lap caution. Dollansky was racing through the fourth corner when Hodnett took the checkered flag.
Bobby Davis, Jr., won the Ecowater Pole Position Scramble from inside the second row and Fred Rahmer won the Snap-on Tools Pole Position Scramble from outside the front row. Johnny Herrera came from the back of the pack to finish third for the right to start Saturday's "B" Feature on the pole.
Danny Lasoski raced around polesitter Dave Blaney and led all 12 laps in the Vivarin Pole Position Scramble. Steve Kinser, who tied Sammy Swindell for the qualifying points leadership, started last in the 10-car field, but had the #11 Valvoline Maxim in third place within two laps.
Lasoski was a half-straightaway ahead of the field when Kinser out- dragged Blaney across the finish line to take over the runner-up spot at the end of lap four. "The Dude" entered lapped traffic three laps later, and took the checkered flag as "The King of the Outlaws" raced through the fourth corner.
Kinser believed he had sewn up the pole position in Saturday's championship feature with the second-place finish until officials discovered that his #11 had lost its muffler during the race. Loss of a muffler constitutes disqualification, so Kinser was demoted to 10th in the Vivarin Pole Position Scramble and outside the second row in Saturday's main event lineup.
With the other eight drivers in the field moving up a position, Blaney received credit for second place. He was followed across the finish line by Andy Hillenburg, Jeff Swindell, Jac Haudenschild, Sammy Swindell, Kenny Jacobs, Terry McCarl and Stevie Smith.
Jeff drove the #7TW Gold Eagle Maxim past four sprinters from his fourth-row starting position and was rewarded with the pole position in Saturday's "A" Feature lineup. WoO

‘King’ Claims 10th Knoxville Nationals Championship by Richard Day www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 50 of 64
KNOXVILLE, IA (August 20) - Noah Webster defines the word "champion” as "any person receiving or winning first prize or place in competition." Steve Kinser took the meaning of the word to a much higher level Saturday in the Knoxville Nationals' championship feature.
"The King of the Outlaws" displayed incredible determination, turning the disappointment of losing the pole position into his 10th Nationals championship.
Kinser believed he had earned the pole position by finishing second in the Vivarin Pole Position Scramble the night before. But he was disqualified from the race and demoted to the second row outside starting position when the muffler fell off the #11 Valvoline Maxim. "We'll still find a way to win," he said.
It didn't take Kinser long to show just how determined he was to win his third straight Nationals title, passing Andy Hillenburg as flagman Doug Clark threw the green flag and taking second place from Sammy Swindell in the first corner. Jeff Swindell took the lead from the pole, and caught the backmarkers six laps into the 30-lap run for the $80,000 first prize.
Kinser steered the #11 to the rim of the semi-banked, 1/2-mile oval to reel in Swindell within a lap after the leaders entered lapped traffic. He executed the winning pass as Swindell tried to lap Randy Hannagan on the back straightaway midway through the eighth lap, and slowed only when Jerry Richert, Jr.'s third-corner spin brought out the caution flag late in lap 11.
Swindell kept the #7TW Gold Eagle Maxim within five car-lengths of "The King of the Outlaws" for several laps, but was a half-straightaway behind by the race's midpoint. Gaining momentum with each passing lap, Kinser was a full straightaway ahead of Jeff two laps later.
Danny Lasoski, the partisan, standing-room-only crowd's favorite, raced past Hillenburg for third place late in lap 15. At the same time, 1993 World of Outlaws Rookie of the Year Greg Hodnett started challenging 1992 Rookie of the Year Aaron Berryhill for fifth place. Hodnett, who roared through the "C" and "B" Features to qualify for the main event, claimed fifth place during lap 20 and challenged Hillenburg for fourth during the final 10 laps.
Kinser maintained his comfortable advantage, and took the checkered flag as Swindell raced into the third corner.
"The one you just won is the sweetest; I can tell you that," Kinser said when asked if the latest was the most memorable of his 10 Nationals championships.
"I went down to the bottom and didn't feel good early in the race. I felt pretty good in three and four. Finally, I said, 'Well, I'm just going to get up on the top of this thing.' I got in the high groove and started making some pretty good time in one and two.
"Then we stayed high in three and four, and we reeled him (Jeff) in. About the time we caught him, we got into some traffic there and got on by."
It was a miracle that Hillenburg could even start the main event. He knocked the "T" out of the Hooters billboard when he flipped high into the first-corner wall during the hot-lap session. After his crew worked frantically to repair the front end and replace both wings and the rear end, Andy received a standing ovation as he was pushed off for the "A" Feature. He finished in fourth place, his career-best at the Nationals. www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 51 of 64
Sammy Swindell wasn't as fortunate. Ignition problems which plagued the #1 Bull & Hannah's Jenkins during hot laps came back to haunt the 1983 Nationals champion, forcing him into the pits late in the 13th lap.
Hodnett's fifth-place finish was his fourth top-10 run in four World of Outlaws "A" Features at Knoxville Raceway this year. Rounding out the top 10 were Berryhill, Jac Haudenschild, Terry McCarl, Kenny Jacobs and Dave Blaney.
In a replay of the 1992 Nationals, Haudenschild's engine exploded into flames as he crossed the finish line in seventh place. He quickly extinguished the fire by flipping the switch on his fuel shut-off valve.

Young Captures Knoxville 360 Nationals Opener by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, IA – Danny Young captured the opening round of the Fourth Annual Knoxville 360 Sprint Nationals as he drove his own car to a fifteen-lap feature event win at Knoxville Raceway Friday night.
Young, the 1993 Knoxville track champion in the 360 c.i. sprint division, drove under Randy Martin in turns three and four to take the lead on the second lap and was never headed to the finish. The two drivers race weekly at this Marion County oval.
The race was slowed on lap four when a two-car wreck in turn two claimed an additional pair of sprinters who were unable to avoid the stalled vehicles. Once the race resumed, Young was able to pull away in his American Challenge sprinter and was never seriously threatened to the end.
The main attention of the crowd was focused on the fight for the runner-up position as Martin had his hands full with Garry Lee Maier who is the defending champion of this event. After swapping the position back and forth several times in the closing stages of the race, Maier was able to hold the spot at the checkereds.
Steve Breazeale and John Kearney placed fourth and fifth respectively. Rick Daugherty took sixth, Lee Nelson from the rear finished seventh and Bruce Drottz was eighth. Mark Wilson and Scott Whitworth rounded out the top ten finishers in the preliminary feature event.
Billy Bell, who was involved in the fourth lap accident, was the top qualifier in time trials with a run just off the track record of 17.435 in the field of 66 entrants. Heat events went to Maier, Young, Martin, Virgil Brandt and Ricky Logan. Dean Brown was victorious in the C Main, while Bell was the winner of the B Main.
Several wrecks eliminated cars during the evening. Billy Campbell, Scott Newman and Don Anderson were involved in a three-car pileup in the third heat. Gary Moyer crashed into the inside front stretch barrier in the C Main and Joe Cooper struck the turn one fence during time trials.
Drivers representing nine states and Australia qualified for the two-day event which has posted an overall purse of $35,350.

Lee Nelson is Crowned Knoxville 360 National Champion by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, IA – Lee Nelson narrowly averted disaster three-fourths of the way through the championship race to gain the crown at the 4th Annual Knoxville 360 c.i. Nationals at Knoxville Raceway Saturday night.
On lap 15 of the championship feature event, a six-car pileup on the front stretch nearly claimed Nelson’s front- running sprinter as the red and yellow warning light system failed to work. As a consequence, several cars were unaware that a wreck had taken place. Nelson quickly came upon the disabled, wrecked cars and sustained damage to his sprinter as a result.
The initial blows of the incident were struck when Mike Twedt spun sideways and was hit broadside by Tod Bishop. At that point, the front chute below the flagstand became littered with cars as well as cars trying to miss the carnage. Rick Daugherty, Duane Van Heukelom, Dwight Snodgrass and Randy Martin all sustained damage enough to limp back to the pits. Twedt, Bishop and Martin each went to Knoxville Area Community Hospital to be checked over. No report on their condition had been issued at press time.
The Bob Brody Trostle-chassis sprinter which Nelson drove to victory began the race in the second row of the twenty-four car championship field. Nelson quickly shot to the outside at the green flag and rode the cushion into the lead which he never relinquished for the duration. Whitworth stayed close to Nelson as Garry Lee Maier and Danny Young fought for the third place position.

On lap ten, Billy Bell was involved in a vicious one-car wreck in front of the grandstand as he flipped end over end at least four times. The violence of the accident tore the front end and tail tank off the sprinter before it came to rest. Bell was not hurt.
Several cautions preceded the lap 15 melee for cars losing engines and the previous night’s winner, Danny Young was black-flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct and sent to the pits.
When the race was finally restarted, Nelson was able to hold off a late charge by the defending champion, Maier, and win by twenty car lengths. Whitworth was third and Ricky Logan took fourth. Steve Breazeale came across the line to place fifth. Nelson received $3,500 for his championship efforts and Maier took home $3,000 for his runner-up finish. Missouri driver Whitworth was paid $2,250.
The B Main saw several yellows as Bishop claimed the 15-lap event. The C Main went flag to flag and was captured by Ohio’s Steve Suever. Qualifying heat events went to Twedt, Logan, Bell, Dwight Snodgrass and Virgil Brandt.

Lasoski and Nelson Clinch Knoxville Track Titles by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, IA – Danny Lasoski and Lee Nelson captured track titles during the 41st running of the season championships at Knoxville Raceway Saturday night.
Lasoski won the 25-lap season championship feature while driving the Gil Sonner Casey’s General Stores Maxim and recorded his tenth win on the year and his 54th career win at this historic half-mile oval. He was paid $3,000 for his efforts. The title for Sonner was his first after initially fielding a car in the mid-nineteen fifties.
Second generation driver, Chad Mellenberndt, took the lead at the outset of the championship race from his pole position start, and held that spot for seven circuits. Lasoski, who had been closing the gap after starting eighth, executed a move on the bottom in turns three and four, and grabbed the top spot, which he never relinquished.
Three yellow flags slowed the progress of the event, but each time Lasoski was able to pull away from his nearest challenger, Craig Dollansky. Dollansky was aboard the Serace No. 55 for the first time this season, and like Lasoski, started in the fourth row of the event. At the checkereds, Dollansky trailed the Lasoski mount by forty yards to garner a $2,500 second place finish.
Marlon Jones, who had timed fastest on the evening, came across the line for third and received $2,000. Mellenberndt settled for the $1,500 fourth place money after being sent to the rear of the event on a sixteenth lap caution. Terry McCarl, who likewise when to the rear late in the race, came home fifth. Brent Antill, Jaymie Moyle, Ryan Jamison, Leonard Lee and Bob Weuve rounded out the top ten finishers.
In the 360 c.i. sprint division, Randy Martin won his sixth feature on the year in the season championship 20-lap feature. Steve Breazeale appeared to have the event in hand until his sprinter let go in a ball of fire after a dozen laps. From that point on, Martin was in control of the race and went on to win the event and the $800 first place money. Dwight Snodgrass finished second, Steve Wares was third and Eddie Leavitt Jr. took fourth. www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 57 of 64
1994 360 Sprint Nationals champion Lee Nelson finished well down the line in 11th, but garnered enough points to capture the track title for that division. He was additionally named recipient of the Hard Charger Award for the year as was Skip Jackson in the 410 sprint division.

Steve Kosiski Wins Knoxville Deery Brothers Series Event by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, IA – Steve Kosiski used some late race heroics to win the “Western Auto Shootout” at Knoxville Raceway Saturday night. The Omaha, Nebraska driver came on strong in the closing stages of the 40-lap event to win his second Deery Brothers Summer Series feature for late models.
Todd Cooney of Des Moines led the initial six laps of the race after gaining a front row starting position. Joe Kosiski caught and passed Cooney as they raced past the start-finish line on the seventh go-around and held the top spot for a dozen laps.
Waiting in the wings was 1994 Summer Series points leader Gary Webb, who likewise passed Cooney and began to chase down Kosiski. Webb shot under Kosiski coming out of turn four after a nineteenth lap restart, and took the point position for the 26-car field on the half-mile oval.
With the event receiving the “half-way” signal, Steve Kosiski dashed into the runner-up spot having driven from a seventh row start. The younger Kosiski began hounding Webb for the leadership role in the race as he tried every portion of the track to gain that place. Lap traffic at times hindered hid bid, but Kosiski was never out of the hunt as the front runners turned laps at a near-record pace.
As the duo exited turn four on the white flag lap, Webb somehow lost control of his vehicle and began fishtailing in his low groove position. That was all Kosiski needed as he roared by on the outside to take the lead for one final circuit and garner the win.

Kosiski, whose lone late model win on Knoxville soil was registered in 1982, was paid $1,500 for his efforts. Webb received $1,000 for his runner-up placing, while Joe Kosiski came across the line for third. Passing honors went to Steve Hennies who drove out of a B main win to start in the ninth row and finish fourth. Kevin Cale drove a steady race to take fifth.
Initial race leader, Cooney, failed to meet post-race weight inspection and his sixth place finish was reduced to last. Rounding out the top ten finishers were Boone McLaughlin, Bob Hill, Kevin Pittman, Rollie Frink and Billy Allen.
Wade Hale of Ottumwa survived numerous yellow flags to win the 20-lap hobby stock feature. Kenny Miller was second and Bob Steven took third. Larry Embry, who twice was positioned to the rear of the field, finished fourth.
A field of 49 late models were on hand after an absence of over five years at this historic oval. 51 hobby stocks completed the two-division card.

Haudenschild is a Winner in WoO Knoxville Prelim by Bob Wilson
Knoxville, IA – Jac Haudenschild captured the World of Outlaws feature event at Knoxville Raceway Friday night as he drove the Jack Elden Racing Pennzoil Maxim sprinter to a twenty lap victory.
Haudenschild, who began the race in the front row, outdragged Knoxville Raceway star Craig Dollansky down the front stretch at the start of the event to take the lead which he never relinquished for the duration of the ten- mile event. As the early laps counted down, Haudenschild began to pull away and had a 30 yard advantage over second place Sammy Swindell when the yellow flag slowed the field of cars.
The yellow banner had been displayed for third running Jeff Swindell who was unable to restart when the race resumed. The night would proved to be a tough one for the Swindell brothers as a second yellow was issued for Sammy just four laps from the finish. The elder Swindell had been running second at the time but the loss of a left rear tire ended his night.
When the race resumed on lap 17, Haudenschild easily pulled away from the field. The restart proved fruitful for Steve Kinser as the reigning Knoxville Nationals champion tore past Danny Lasoski and Joe Gaerte to gain www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 61 of 64 third place. Lasoski, who additionally had passed Gaerte, moved into the fourth position, but he was unable to challenge Kinser.
In the end, Haudenschild gained the $4,000 win, his second at Knoxville this season, by a wide margin, as Dollansky held his own to take a well deserved runner-up finish. Kinser was third, Lasoski fourth and Gaerte fifth. Rounding out the top ten finishers were Aaron Berryhill, Mark Kinser, Kenny Jacobs, Terry McCarl and Andy Hillenburg.
Qualifying heat events went to Sammy Swindell, Stevie Smith, Sid Blandford Jr. and Ray Lipsey. Todd Taeger won the C Main. Steve Kinser won the star-studded B Main ahead of Mark Kinser, Lasoski and Herrera.
