Lasoski Sprints to Knoxville Season Opener Win by Bob Wilson

Knoxville, Iowa – Danny Lasoski captured the 43rd season opener at Knoxville Raceway Saturday night in an event that went non-stop on the half-mile oval. In so doing, Lasoski left little doubt that the Guy Forbrook No. 5 team was back. www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 1 of 72

Terry McCarl took the immediate lead from his front row starting position with Scott Whitworth chasing him through the first six laps. Chris Walraven then took over the McCarl chase as the front-runners forged through lapped traffic. Lasoski was third.

On the thirteenth circuit, McCarl bobbled between turns three and four when he came upon a lapped car and that was all that Lasoski needed as he quickly placed the Schnee chassis into the top spot when he flew by the front two cars. Lasoski then pulled away from the field to take his 57th Knoxville win, just two wins shy of the record 59 set by Doug Wolfgang. In garnering the victory, Lasoski shattered the 20-lap record by ten seconds.

Lasoski, who has rejoined the Forbrook team this season after a two year leave, was paid $2,500 for his efforts. McCarl held the runner-up position and Walraven was third. Whitworth placed a close fourth, Ryan Jamison was fifth and Steve Beitler finished sixth. Jerry Richert Jr., Skip Jackson, Jaymie Moyle and Randy Smith rounded out the top ten finishers.

The 5th Annual Skoal Racing 360 Limited Sprints Points Series got underway as Randy Martin took that division’s feature event. It was Martin’s seventh career win in the limited division and paid the Missouri pilot $950 for his efforts. 1995 division champion Larry Pinegar II qualified out of the B feature and then passed ten cars on the opening lap of the A main to finally settle for a second place finish. Brett Golik, Bruce Drottz and Mike Houseman rounded out the top ten finishers.

Thirty-five 410 and thirty-three 360 sprint cars competed during the evening.

Mark Kinser takes Knoxville WoO Spring Opener Prelim by Bob Wilson

Knoxville, IA – Mark Kinser, aboard the Karl Kinser Wirtgen Maxim, stormed to a convincing win at Knoxville Raceway Friday night during the World of Outlaws (WoO) Spring Opener.

Kinser, who started along-side Steve Kinser in the 20-lap feature event, out-dragged him down the front chute at the start of the race to take the lead. Once at the front, the younger Kinser quickly set the pace and roared away from the field of sprint cars.

Behind him, a battle developed for the runner-up spot, with Steve Kinser and Dave Blaney. The twosome raced effortlessly through lapped traffic after the two-mile mark with Kinser in front. Blaney took the contested position on lap 15 with a low-side dive into turn three. Two laps later, the yellow flag was displayed for Troy Parsons, who had lost an engine. Kinser’s torrid pace had enabled him to lap up to the tenth position.

On the restart, the front-running Kinser was able to pull away with ease to claim the $4,000 first place prize money and his eighth career win at this historic half-mile oval. Blaney held his spot to claim second and Steve Kinser was third with Johnny Herrera challenging. Jac Haudenschild finished fifth.

Passing honors in the event went to Danny Lasoski, who finished sixth after starting seventeenth. Lasoski, who changed an engine after his heat event, engaged in a heated battle in the latter stages of the race with Terry McCarl and Sammy Swindell, who finished seventh and eighth, respectively. Joe Gaerte and Andy Hillenburg rounded out the top ten finishers.

Qualifying heats went to Greg Hodnett, Mark Kinser, Scott Whitworth, Haudenschild and Blaney. Steve Kinser won the dash as well as paced the 52-car field in time trials. Doran Doty won the C feature and Herrera took the B feature.

Mark Kinser Sweeps Knoxville WoO Spring Opener Finale by Bob Wilson

Knoxville, IA – Mark Kinser, aboard the Karl Kinser Wirtgen Maxim made it two in a row in less than twenty- four hours at Knoxville Raceway as he swept to victory before a crowd estimated at 10,000 Saturday night during the World of Outlaws (WoO) Spring Opener.

The feature event saw Kinser, the current WoO points leader, and second cousin, Steve Kinser start side by side in the 24-car field. Mark immediately took the lead and had extended it to a quick 100 yard advantage, when a yellow flag slowed the race for a stalled car on the track. When the event resumed, he again pulled away from Steve Kinser and began to create an insurmountable margin on the half-mile oval.

Several interesting battles for position broke out during the balance of the 25-lap event. The restart saw Sammy Swindell and Terry McCarl fight for position for several laps until Swindell finally won out. Swindell then battled with Johnny Herrera for the fourth position, gaining that spot on lap eight. Eventually, Herrera’s machine began to slow and the New Mexico native pulled in the pits after the mid-way point.

Danny Lasoski gained several spots after the restart to advance from a seventh row starting position to contend with Joey Saldana. Lap fifteen saw Lasoski get by Saldana to take the fifth place spot, but that was as far as the “Dude” would advance.

Dave Blaney ran third for the entire event and was able to make several challenges on Steve Kinser. On lap thirteen, he pulled along-side Kinser in lapped traffic, but was never able to make good on his bid.

As Mark Kinser swept across the finish line to claim the $9,000 first place prize money, Steve was just exiting the fourth turn. Blaney was third, followed by Swindell and Lasoski. Jeff Swindell took passing honors by coming from the tenth row to place sixth. Saldana, Stevie Smith, McCarl and Joe Gaerte rounded out the top ten finishers.

Qualifying heats went to fast qualifier Sammy Swindell, Gaerte, Lasoski and Jeff Swindell. Mark Kinser won the dash. Dion Hindi won the C feature and Scott Whitworth took the B feature.

In companion Knoxville 360 sprints, Larry Pinegar II took the feature event and was chased to the checkered flags by David Hesmer, Jeff Haines, Bruce Williams and Duane Van Heukelom. Thirty-seven 360 sprints and fifty-three WoO sprints competed during the evening.

Lasoski Wins Number 58 in Knoxville Sprints by Bob Wilson

Knoxville, IA – Danny Lasoski drove the Guy Forbrook Schnee sprinter to his 58th career win at Knoxville Raceway Saturday night. The victory paid the “Show Me State” veteran $2,500 and place him within one win of tying the all-time record set by Doug Wolfgang during his years at this historic half-mile oval.

The 20-lap feature event was halted just after it went green for a 3-car mishap. On the restart, Aussie Skip Jackson grabbed the top spot from pole-sitter Jerry Richert Jr. as the exited turn three. Jackson then pulled out to a comfortable lead. Lasoski also made a pass of Richert Jr. on lap eight to place himself in the position of catching Jackson on a track that was undoubtedly one of the fastest in several years.

www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 8 of 72 As Jackson headed through turn two of lap ten, he came upon a slower car and spun his sprinter to a stop. On the restart, the front running Lasoski pulled away from the field of 20 starters to win by a wide margin.

“The longer the race went, the faster to car got,” Lasoski explained in victory lane as the Forbrook No. 5 had forged nearly a half-lap margin of victory over second running Richert Jr. New one-lap track record-holder, Mike Reinke, finished a strong third, Dennis Moore Jr. took fourth, and Terry McCarl was fifth. Rounding out the top ten finishers were Chris Walraven, Steve Beitler, Jackson, Bob White and Leonard Lee.

In the 360 sprint feature, Terry Alexander led from start to finish to capture his fourth career win. Track points leader, Larry Pinegar II, began to challenge in the closing laps of the event, but crashed into a lapped car and was eliminated. The wreck brought to a halt an exciting run for Pinegar as he had won the 18-car B feature from the tail and had again worked his way from the tail of the A feature to come into contention for the win. Trailing Alexander to the finish line were Mike Houseman, Bruce Drottz and David Hesmer.

Lasoski Scores Record Win Number 60 in Knoxville Sprints by Bob Wilson

Knoxville, IA – Danny Lasoski drove the Guy Forbrook Schnee sprinter to victory at Knoxville Raceway Saturday night to record his 60th career win at this historic half-mile oval. The win broke the all-time record set by Doug Wolfgang during his tenure here.

Lasoski began the 20-lap feature event in the second row and took the lead on the opening lap with a pass in turns three and four. A red flag on lap four was the only obstacle to slow the “Dude” during the ten-mile race as on the restart, Lasoski put a huge margin between himself and his nearest challenger. www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 10 of 72 As Lasoski pulled away from the field of twenty sprinters, a real battle for position developed for the runner-up position between Terry McCarl and Skip Jackson. With Jackson running the low line and McCarl on the cushion, lap after lap saw the duo flash by the flagstand side by side. In the end, Jackson won out by the narrowest of margins with McCarl taking a close third, but nearly half a lap behind the Lasoski machine. Brent Antill was fourth and Jaymie Moyle took passing honors from an eighth row start to place fifth. Rounding out the top ten finishers were John Kearney, Tony Moro, Mike Reinke, Dennis Moore Jr. and Rich Bubak.

It had previously been reported that Lasoski had needed only one more win to the tie the record of Doug Wolfgang. However, a more thorough review of Lasoski’s wins on a year by year basis revealed an additional feature event victory in 1988. Thus Lasoski can be credited with tying the all-time record on the weekend of May 4.

Larry Pinegar II made a late race charge in the 360 sprint feature to claim his seventh career win. Duane Van Heukelom, who had led most of the race, finished second, Randy Martin was third from a seventh row start, and Lee Nelson took fourth.

A field of thirty-two 410 sprints and forty 360 sprints competed on the evening.

Lasoski Unstoppable in Knoxville Sprints by Bob Wilson www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 12 of 72 Knoxville, IA – Danny Lasoski and Guy Forbrook are nearly unbeatable at Knoxville Raceway as the driver/owner combo scored their fourth win of the season Saturday night. Only Mark Kinser in World of Outlaws action has placed a blemish on the “Dude’s” record here this year.

In the 20-lap feature event, Dennis Moore Jr. utilized his pole starting position to grab the early lead which he maintained for the first five miles of the race. Lasoski was caught behind slower cars in the early going and was forced to scramble once he was able to make the passes from his fourth row starting position.

Race leader, Moore, faced lapped traffic by the seventh go-around and his advantage quickly melted as Jaymie Moyle, Terry McCarl and Lasoski caught him on the half-mile oval. Both McCarl and Lasoski made passes of Moyle and on lap ten Lasoski took the runner-up position. One lap later, Lasoski had the lead as he dove under Moore going into turn one. Yellow and red flags in the closing portions of the race did not hinder Lasoski as he came across the line $2,500 richer for his efforts.

McCarl finished second, Skip Jackson was third, Moore took fourth and Mike Reinke posted fifth. The Hard- Charger award went to sixth place finisher Chad Mellenberndt, who had started eighteenth. Moyle, Tony Moro, Shawn Moore and Steve Beitler rounded out the top ten finishers.

Bruce Williams became a first-time winner in the 360 sprint feature as he led the distance to claim the second leg of the 5th Annual SKOAL RACING (sm) Limited Sprints Point Series. He was chased the entire distance by Billy Engelhart, who finished second. Randy Martin took third and Eddie Leavitt Jr. was fourth.

A field of thirty-three 410 sprints and thirty-eight 360 sprints competed on the evening.

JACKSON AND ENGELHART IN KNOXVILLE SPRINT WINS

June 8, 1996 by Bob Wilson

Knoxville, Iowa- Skip Jackson captured his second career win here.

For Jackson, the 1995-96 Australian National Champion, it was a race of good fortune when a yellow flag slowed the event with just two circuits remaining. Up to that point pole sitter Dennis Moore, Jr. had led the race from the outset. Moore had been masterful in working through lapped traffic but Moyle had kept the frontrunner in sight from his second running position.

On lap fifteen Danny Lasoski overtook Jackson and was closing on Moore when a yellow flag was displayed for a two-car spin. During that period Lasoski's mount, which had just started blowing smoke in the previous laps, was checked and was found to have lost an oil plug.' lie then brought the sprinter to the pits and parked it.

www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 15 of 72 When the race resumed Jackson charged the VanderEcken Gambler to the low side of the Moore machine and took the lead which he held to the finish. Terry McCarl also passed Moore in the closing laps to place second. Moore held the third place finish as Larry Pinegar II took fourth and Marlon Jones was fifth.

A field of thirty-eight 410 sprints and thirty-three "Masters" 360 sprints competed on the evening. In ceremonies at the fairgrounds in the afternoon, sixteen men were inducted into the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame during the seventh annual awards program.

ENGELHART IN KNOXVILLE SPRINT WIN

Billy Engelhart took his first feature victory in the Goodyear Masters Classic at Knoxville Raceway Saturday night. For Engelhart it was as sweet a win as could be. The Wisconsin driver had been a runner-up twice and a third row start in this fourth annual 360 c.i. Goodyear-sponsored event placed him behind Rick Ferkel, the man who had beat him each of those two times.

At the start of the twenty-two lap event Benny Rapp lead the field of twenty cars but a yellow was quickly displayed for a spun car. The restart saw a red flag fly as Cliff Woodward struck the turn four fence and flipped. When the race resumed defending and three-time winner Ferkel grabbed the top spot but his advantage was short lived as another red was waved for a three-car skirmish between turns one and two involving Shelby Steenson, Bob Kinser and Roy Jo Peltz. A third stoppage of the event occurred on lap six when Jerry Crabb endoed and struck the turn two fence.

Again the race was restarted and this time it went to the conclusion as Ferkel paced Engelhart around the half- mile oval making it a two-car race to the checkereds. At the half way point Ferkel held a 20-yard advantage having just entered lapped traffic. on lap sixteen Engelhart had pulled onto Ferkel's bumper in heavy traffic and in a dramatic move on the backstretch of the next circuit he made a high side pass of a slower car as Ferkel went low. Ferkel's hesitation cost him the top spot as Engelhart shot into the lead in his Bill Campbell owned J&J sprinter. It was a lead he built upon as he went on to cross the finish line of the $2,500 to win event.

Ferkel finished second and Mike Brooks took third. Ed French and Rapp were fourth and fifth respectively. Rounding out the top ten finishers were Jerry Nemire from a seventeenth starting nod, Leroy Van Connett, Bill Utz, Bill Smith and Allen Barr.

SMITH OPENS ETHANOL CLASSIC WITH A SPRINT WIN

By Bob Wilson June 21, 1996

- Knoxville, Iowa - Stevie Smith was on a rail Friday night at Knoxville Raceway as he roared to a 20-lap win in the preliminary feature event in record time during the First Annual Ethanol Classic.

Smith, who managed only a third place finish in his qualifying heat event, seemed to catch fire during the trophy dash as he came from nowhere to win that event and gain a pole position start in the A feature. Jac Haudenschild surprised Smith at the start of the finale as he out-dragged him down the front chute to lead the opening lap. On the next go around Smith flashed by the flagstand in the lead and never looked back in the non- stop racing while recording his fifth career win on Knoxville soil.

An hour and 35-minute rain delay was endured just after the completion of the third heat. After the track was made ready, the excess moisture created an extremely fast track as evidenced by additional track records at 8- and 12-lap distances.

While Smith was running at the front of the twenty-four car field, several skirmishes for position were taking place on back. Danny Lasoski, who started seventeenth, methodically picked his way through the field to gain a tenth place finish. Mark Kinser, the class of the field in qualifying time trials worked his was back to a second place finish after a lackluster start. Cousin Steve Kinser, a third place runner after five laps slowly fell backwards and finished eighth.

At final count Smith, whose last win here was recorded in 1993, was paid $4,000 for his efforts aboard the Dan Motter Motorsports Maxim. Mark Kinser was second, Dave Blaney took third, Haudenschild was fourth and Jeff Swindell checkered fifth. Rounding out the top ten finishers were Sammy Swindell, Terry McCarl, Steve Kinser, Andy Hillenburg and Lasoski.

Qualifying heat event winners were Mark Kinser, Jaymie Moyle, Mike Reinke, Joey Saldana and Lasoski. Rich Bubak took the C Main, Hillenburg was the B Main victor and Smith captured the dash. Fifty cars too qualifying time trials.

Mark Kinser and Jeff Swindell Claim WoO Knoxville Classic Wins

By Bob Wilson June 21, 1996

Mark Kinser, Jeff Swindell and Chuck Merrill were the winners Saturday night at Knoxville Raceway during the World of Outlaws (WoO) First Annual Iowa Ethanol Classic. Merrill is the builder of Maxim Chassis, the chassis Kinser and Swindell drove to victories.

The first Classic feature event saw Stevie Smith use the high groove to take the initial lead from his front row starting position. Fellow front row starter Mark Kinser slowly chased him down and took the lead on the seventh circuit. It was a lead he would never relinquish to the end of the 25-lap event. The win was career victory number ten at this facility for Kinser in the Karl Kinser prepared mount and paid him $9,000 for his efforts.

As the race edged past the half-way point several drivers began to improve their positions which they held to the finish. Sammy Swindell gained second from Smith on lap fourteen in lapped traffic and Dave Blaney claimed third on the next go around. Smith regained that spot on the final lap of the race. Johnny Herrera drove a steady race to claim fifth. Andy Hillenburg and Danny Lasoski took sixth and seventh respectively and Steve Kinser dropped from his second row starting nod to place eighth. Passing honors went to ninth place finisher Greg Hodnett who came from a ninth row start. Local standout Terry McCarl finished tenth.

The Classic is a unique event on the WoO trail in that it is the only event in which a complete inversion is used. Thus, twenty-third finisher Travis Cram led for four laps of the second Classic feature until second row starter Jeff Swindell took the top spot going down the back chute. Swindell held that position to the end to claim his fifth career win here as well as $9,000 for the Two Winners racing team. Local drivers Jerry Richert, Jr., Jaymie Moyle, Larry Pinegar II and Dennis Moore, Jr. took the next four positions at the finish. Steve Kinser took passing honors with a sixth place finish from an eighth row start. Rounding out the top ten finishers were Aaron Berryhill, Skip Jackson, Terry McCarl and Danny Lasoski.

In a companion Knoxville 360 Sprints, Jeff Haines led the distance to win his second career feature event at Knoxville. Tim Deaver, Ed Rotert, Brett Golik and Randy Martin completed the to five finishers. Forty-two 360 sprints and forty -eight WoO sprints competed in the evening's program.

6/29/96 www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 23 of 72 Chris Walraven Claims his Initial Feature Event at the Knoxville Raceway

By Bob Wilson June 29, 1996

Knoxville, Iowa - Chris Walraven chose a fine time to win his initial feature event at Knoxville Raceway as he claimed the 43rd annual Mid-Season Championship Saturday night. The victory paid the Knoxville native $3,000 as he drove the Steve Behlers Maxim to a wire to wire win.

Walraven, who has been plagued by numerous technical problems in recent weeks, started the 20 lap race on the pole and outraced fellow front row starter Skip Jackson to the first turn. By the sixth circuit Walraven had entered lapped traffic and had put a 40-yard margin between himself and the Jackson machine. Through the backmarker traffic was heavy Walraven was able to make the passes when he needed.

At this point in the race Danny Lasoski was able to pull into contention for the runnerup spot with Jackson and the twosome began to battle for that position. Finally on lap twelve the issue was settled as Lasoski made the pass and set his sights on Walraven.

With five laps to go in the event Walraven had problems getting around a lapped car and Lasoski pulled to within striking distance of him. As the laps wound down the estimated crowd of 5,000 watched a nose-to-tail battle with Lasoski unable to make a move on the fleet Walraven sprinter.

Coming out of turn four on the final lap Walraven bobbled momentarily but Lasoski could not make the necessary adjustment and could do little more than to follow Walraven to Doug Clark's checkereds.

Dennis Moore, Jr. finished a strong third, Terry McCarl took fourth and Mike Reinke was fifth. Rounding out the top ten finishers were Jackson, Scott Whitworth, Leonard Lee, Ryan Jamison and Jerry Richert, Jr. from the tail of the twenty-car field. Two half-hour rain delays were endured during the evening.

Thirty-one 410 competed during the evening.

Lasoski Cashes in on Knoxville Double Features By Bob Wilson July 6, 1996

Knoxville, Iowa-Danny Lasoski continues to assault the record books at Knoxville Raceway as he took both ends of Twin Twenty feature events Saturday night. The victories duplicated his fete of 1990 as the two markers extended his total career feature wins at Marion County Fairgrounds to sixty-three.

In the first feature event, Lasoski and Terry McCarl provided the fireworks for a near-dozen circuits of the half- mile oval. McCarl had grabbed the lead on the fifth lap and was able to get through lapped traffic to keep Lasoski at bay. Each driver found the cushion to be the quick way around yet utilized low passes in traffic. At the six-mile mark Lasoski had moved right up on McCarl's tail and two laps later he was able to dive below the McCarl machine in turns one and two to take the lead in heavy traffic. The Lasoski/McCarl pace was so potent that in the end they found themselves having lapped up to the fifth place finisher in the non-stop affair.

Chris Walraven finished third, Skip Jackson took fourth and Mike Reinke tallied fifth. In the completely inverted second twenty-lap feature, Lasoski wasted little time in coming from his eighteenth starting spot to place third by the sixth go around. At the halfway point he was directly on the tail of leader Brent Antill. Two laps later he took the top spot and was never challenged in the Guy Forbrook prepared machine.

The double wins paid Lasoski $3,000 for his efforts and provided Forbrook with his fifty-first and fifty-second career wins here. Chasing Lasoski to the checkereds were Brent Antill, Bob Weuve, Jaymie Moyle and Terry McCarl.

Moro managed to hold on for second place at the drop of the checkered flag by flagman Norm Wadle. Bruce Drottz was third, Virgil Brandt fourth and Duane Van Heukelom fifth.

www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 27 of 72 Van Heukelom entered the night only three points behind Randy Martin in the 360 Knoxville Raceway Season Points Championship. Martin settled for ninth in the first feature.

In feature number two after making some big adjustments to the car, Martin came to the front to lead the final four laps of the 15-lap event. Kenny Williams was second in the inverted second feature event, Virgil Brandt third, Dave Hesmer fourth and Bruce Drottz fifth.

Winning the four heat races were Matt Moro, Mitchell Alexander, Bruce Williams and Duane Van Heukelom.

Danny “The Dude" Lasoski Drove the Guy Forbrook Schnee Sprinter to His Seventh Feature Event Win of the Season at the Knoxville Raceway

By Bob Wilson

Danny Lasoski drove the Guy Forbrook Schnee sprinter to his seventh feature event win of the season Saturday night at the Knoxville Raceway. The victory paid the Missouri native $2,500 for his efforts in a non-stop affair.

The win was equally important for car-owner Forbrook as it was his 53rd career win at this historic race facility. That places him in a tie with the legendary Bob Trostle for owner wins here at Knoxville.

Lasoski started the 20-lap feature event in the front row and immediately left no doubt as to the outcome of the race as he stormed away from the field of sprinters.

By lap seven Lasoski had entered lapped traffic with Terry McCarl running in second place. The backmarkers proved to be no problem for either driver but Lasoski appeared to be able to pull away from McCarl as the laps began to wind down.

www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 30 of 72 As Lasoski flashed across the finish line McCarl stormed into turn four with Steve Beitler at a distance in the third position. Don Droud, Jr. made several late race passed to claim fourth and Larry Pinegar II with fifth. Rounding out the top ten finishers were Skip Jackson, Jaymie Moyle, Travis Cram, Peter Murphy and Rich Bubak.

Thirty-three 410 c.i. sprint cars competed on the evening.

Ricky Logan of Arkansas Posted his First Feature Win in the Second Leg of the ISCA 360 Qualifying Event on July 13, 1996

By Bob Wilson

In the 360 sprint division, a visiting Ricky Logan put on a memorable passing display after he transferred from the B Main to the tail of the feature event. By lap seven the Arkansas driver had moved into seventh position, but it appeared as though the Campbell J&J sprinter would be unable to complete the sweep to the front.

A yellow flag with just two laps remaining was all Logan needed as he was able to get by race leader Dave Hesmer on the restart. Third went to Randy Martin, Lee Nelson took fourth and Taylor Weld finished fifth.

The event was the second International Sprint Car Association 360 qualifier to be held at the Knoxville Raceway this season.

Thirty-seven 360 cui sprint cars competed on the evening.

Danny Lasoski Drove the Guy Forbrook Schnee Sprinter to a Convincing Win During the Marion County Fair at the Knoxville Raceway Saturday Night

By Bob Wilson

KNOXVILLE, IOWA - Danny Lasoski drove the Guy Forbrook Schnee sprinter to a convincing win during the annual Marion County Fair at the Knoxville Raceway Saturday night.

The win marked the 65th career victory here for the "Dude" and set a new mark of 54 career wins for car owner Forbrook.

www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 33 of 72 Lasoski, who started the 20-lap feature event in the ninth row by virtue of a transfer from the B Main, was quick out of the blocks at the start as he passed eleven cars during the first lap to fifth place as he flew under the flagstand.

Race leader and front-row starter Tony Moro set a torrid pace and Lasoski was unable to cut into his lead until the backmarkers slowed his pace.

While Moro set the pace, Lasoski picked up fourth place on the fourth circuit and seemed to be stuck there until a lap eight yellow flag for a hapless Terry McCarl who had lost a nose wing.

On the restart Lasoski took the high route and picked up an additional two spots as he began to chase Moro at closer quarters.

On lap fourteen Moro came upon a slower car and that was all Lasoski needed to gram the point position. One lap later Don Droud, Jr. took the runnerup spot and closed in on the Lasoski machine. To the end Droud pressed Lasoski for the win but was unable to get by the Al Cole-sponsored mount. Dennis Moore, Jr. made a last lap pass to take third, Moro was fourth and Skip Jackson took fifth.

Rounding out the top ten finishers were Steve Beitler, Scott Whitworth, Travis Cram, Larry Pinegar II, and Leonard Lee.

Two lengthy delays were needed to correct track conditions due to an afternoon and early evening rain event. Thirty-five 410 sprints competed during the program.

Miller Celebrates Birthday with Enduro Win by Bob Wilson

www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 36 of 72 Knoxville, IA – Kenny Miller had more to celebrate than his birthday Sunday night as the Des Moines driver won the tenth annual Marion County fair enduro 200 at Knoxville Raceway.

Miller who won enduros here during the 1989 fair and again in 1993 at the Autumn Enduro, was eleven laps ahead of his nearest competitor when the checkered flag fell at the two-hour time limit. He had completed 130 laps and was paid $1,000 for his efforts.

The race was halted briefly on three occasions by red flags for various safety related incidents, but Miller was unaffected by the slowdowns and led for a major portion of the event. Rose Hill driver, Ronald Meinders, who finished second, was Miller’s nearest competitor and Chuck Gaulke of Ankeny took a close third. Local driver, Brian Leslie, of Knoxville was fourth and Darin Van Dee of Deep River claimed fifth.

A crowd estimated at 1,500 saw 60 cars compete on the half-mile oval.

Mark Kinser Sweeps Through Knoxville Fair for WoO Win by Bob Wilson

KNOXVILLE, IA (July 24) - Mark Kinser made a clean sweep of World of Outlaws (WoO) racing events at Knoxville Raceway during the 79th annual Marion County Fair Wednesday night. Kinser, aboard his father's Wirtgen sponsored maxim captured time trials in near-track record time, won his qualifying heat race and claimed the dash in addition to the $6000 to win feature.

It marked his 11th career win here. The start of the 25-lap feature event was halted just after it started when Terry McCarl began to cartwheel his sprinter in turn two. Danny Lasoski slid into McCarl's final throes but was able to get his Forbrook machine repaired in time for the restart. McCarl was taken to Knoxville Area Community Hospital and was later released.

At the same time as the McCarl incident Bob White rolled his mount into the turn one fence in an unrelated accident. He was uninjured. When the race was restarted again it went non-stop to the checkered flag as Kinser roared out to a huge lead. By lap six he had entered lapped traffic and second place Sammy Swindell began to cut into the gap separating the top two cars. At the half-way point Steve Kinser began to challenge Swindell as the WoO veterans staged close quarters racing in heavy lapped traffic allowing Mark to pull away again. Swindell made one final charge with four laps to go but this was to be Kinser's night in what has become an annual Nationals warm-up event.

The win by Mark Kinser broke a string of victories by Swindell and Steve Kinser in this mid-week Marion County Fair race dating back to 1983. Jeff Swindell came from a fifth row start to place fourth and Dave Blaney was fifth. Johnny Herrera, Stevie Smith, Skip Jackson, Joe Gaerte and Andy Hillenburg rounded out the top ten finishers.

Noble is “Harris Clash” Knoxville Victor

by Bob Wilson

KNOXVILLE, IOWA - JULY 25, 1996 - Mark Noble of Blooming Prairie, MN showed why he is considered one of the top modified drivers in the Midwest as he swept to a convincing $1500 victory in the Second Annual HARRIS CLASH SERIES RACE on Thursday night at the Knoxville Raceway.

The 25-Lap feature event went red at the outset as Ron Jones spun in turn one and was struck by several cars. Jones, who was one of the fastest cars in the qualifying heats, was not injured but his car was too damaged to continue.

www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 39 of 72 When the race was restarted Wayne Larson quickly grabbed the top spot from his pole position start. John Logue and Noble trailed Larson closely until the only yellow flag of the event flew on lap seven. When the race resumed, Noble wasted little time in taking the lead as he passed Larson for the top spot and never looked back.

One of the interesting sidelights of this event was the entry of 6-time Knoxville track champion, Danny Lasoski. "The Dude" failed to qualify through his heat event but won a B Main to make it into the championship feature. After a nineteenth position start he was running 11th at the lap seven caution. At final count he was credited with eighth.

Trailing Noble at the checkered flag were Eddie Martin, Logue, Kevin Larkins and Mark Mundell. Rounding out the top ten finishers were Bell Davis, Brian Fullenkamp, Lasoski, Dan Banker and Gene Claxton.

A total of 100 IMCA Modifieds took part in the 13-event program.

Wolfgang Makes Triumphant Return to Knoxville in ASCS Sprint Win

by Bob Wilson

Knoxville, Iowa - It was a storybook beginning. Doug Wolfgang, who suffered career-threatening injuries in 1992, returned to the Knoxville Raceway in a victorious manner as he swept to a $1500 win in the preliminary feature of the ASCS (American Sprint Car Series) Midwest 360 Championship.

Long-time observers are calling the race one of the best-ever feature events here as lap after lap saw exciting position changes and passes in addition to near-blanket finishes for the lead at the stripe.

The 20-lap feature event, a distance not normally contested at the Marion County Fairgrounds in 360 cui competition, went non-stop and in track record time. Larry Pinegar II utilized the cushion from his pole position start to grab the opening lap but on the second go around fellow front-row starter Jerrod Hull took the point by running the low groove. Once in front he began to pull away.

Wolfgang moved into the runner-up spot in the Gary Swenson Schnee mount on the seventh lap and stayed even with Hull on the half-mile oval. At the ten-lap mark Hull entered lapped traffic and was unable to pass any of the cars for several circuits allowing Wolfgang and third-running Danny Lasoski to move in and to challenge for the lead.

www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 41 of 72 Lap after lap saw Hull, Wolfgang, Lasoski and Pinegar jockeying through lapped traffic around the low side of the track in close proximity. Pinegar moved back to the cushion for a few rounds and made a pass of Lasoski only to have "the Dude" take it back on the next circuit. Lap fifteen saw Wolfgang grab the lead briefly in turn three but Hull was able to fend off the Wolfgang charge.

On lap seventeen Wolfgang was able to get under Hull coming out of turn two and to take the top spot for good. One lap later Lasoski repeated the move and the stage was set for the two all-time winningest drivers in Knoxville Raceway history to battle for the checkered flag.

With most observers focused on the front of the pack, few in attendance were aware the B-Main transfer and ninth row starter Terry McCarl had stormed to the front via the cushion of the track. With two laps to go he had forged his way to sixth place and was suddenly a factor.

Time and laps ran out on the McCarl bid but he was able to take a third place finish on the final lap. Lasoski placed second, two car lengths behind the victorious Wolfgang who was celebrating his forty-fourth birthday on this night. Current ASCS points leader Terry Gray took a solid fifth with Hull and Pinegar placing seventh and eighth respectively. Don Droud, Jr. was ninth and Virgil Brandt completed the top ten finishers.

Eighty-seven cars were on hand for the fourteen-event program of the ASCS Midwest 360 Championship two- day program.

McCarl Doubles in ASCS/Knoxville Sprints by Bob Wilson

Knoxville, IA – Terry McCarl scored an unusual double feature win at Knoxville Raceway when he grabbed the American Sprint Car Series (ASCS) 360 Midwest Championship as well as the regular Knoxville 410 sprint feature Saturday night. The wins paid the second generation driver $6000.

In the ASCS event, McCarl was in a league of his own as he won the 25-lap race going away after taking the lead from pole-sitter Larry Pinegar II on the ninth lap. He set the Brad Gray Stealth sprinter on the cushion and roared away from the field of 24 sprinters to take the checkered flag ahead of his nearest competitor, Danny Lasoski. “The Dude” was unable to catch the swift McCarl machine and was in the fourth turn when McCarl flashed across the stripe.

www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 44 of 72 For a great portion of the race, Lasoski battled Doug Wolfgang and Larry Pinegar II before he was able to pull away to gain a runner-up finish. Wolfgang took the third place money with Don Droud Jr. making a late race charge to take fourth. Pinegar settled for fifth. Rounding out the top ten finishers in this non-stop event were Rickey Hood, Mike Chadd, Ricky Logan, Terry Gray and Jerrod Hull.

McCarl’s first feature event win of the evening came in the 410 c.u.i. sprints where he was the class of the field gaining the lead on the sixth circuit and pulling away for the win. It was his 15th career win at this half-mile oval and his first of the season here in the Brad Gray Maxim.

Steve Beitler, who trailed McCarl after the five-mile mark was a distant second place finisher and Lasoski placed third. Dennis Moore Jr. took fourth and Gary Wright captured fifth. Jerry Richert Jr., Jaymie Moyle, Rich Bubak, Paul McMahan and Skip Jackson rounded out the top ten finishers.

A crowd estimated at 7,000 watched a record 121 sprinters compete during the evening.

Dennis Moore Jr. Claims First Win in Knoxville Sprints

By Bob Wilson, August 3, 1996

Knoxville, Iowa - After six years of trying, Dennis Moore Jr. crossed the finish line to win his initial feature event at the Knoxville Raceway Saturday night. He was showered with champagne by his family and crew in victory lane.

Moore began the 20-lap feature event on the front row and utilized that spot to charge into the lead over Randy Hannagan. Hannagan soon dropped from the race with equipment problems.

At the five lap mark Moore had sprinted to a huge lead and two laps later when he entered into lapped traffic he was able to sustain that margin.

With Hannagan gone, Jaymie Moyle and Leonard Lee began a battle for the runner-up position in a fight that would last for more than a dozen laps.

At the back of the pack a charging Danny Lasoski was making his move from an eighteenth starting spot and had moved to seventh as Moore hit the back markers.

With twelve laps in the books Moore nearly spun his sprinter in the second turn but was able to gather it up and hold his position without losing a great deal of his lead.

A lap seventeen red flag brought the race to a halt and when it was resumed Moore once again roared out to a lead with Moyle in tow and Lasoski in third.

The Lasoski charge ran out of time and laps as Moore raced across the finish line to take his initial victory here in the Larry Cahill Ford-powered Stealth sprinter. Moyle remained in second and Lasoski was third.

Lee settled for fourth and John Kearney took fifth. Rounding out the top ten finishers were Mike Reinke, Scott Whitworth, Ryan Jamison, Bob Weuve and Jerry Richert, Jr. www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 47 of 72 Thirty-nine 410 sprints participated during the evening.

David Hesmer Picked up his First Win of the 1996 Racing Season at the Knoxville Raceway

KNOXVILLE, IOWA - The Knoxville 360 sprints contested the fourth and final points race in the International Sprint Car Association series.

David Hesmer, who last won here in 1993, claimed the no-stop 15-lap feature event ahead of Virgil Brandt, Tim St. Arnold, Lee Nelson and Randy Martin.

In qualifying time trials Nelson set a new track record of 16.687 as four drivers dashed under the one-lap track record.

Thirty-three 360 sprints participated during the evening.

Rain Halts Knoxville Sprints

KNOXVILLE, Iowa - Rain dampened the spirits of an enthusiastic crowd at Knoxville Raceway Saturday night as a half-hour delay finally called a halt to the final warm-up before the 36th running of the AMOCO Knoxville Nationals. The program will pick up where it left off at 7:15 Sunday night.

The fifteen event program was delayed at the outset by an early evening shower but the final straw came just after the 410 sprints had pushed off for the third heat event. With numerous cars signed-in to tune up for the nationals events, Coloradoan Patrick Bourke claimed the first heat event and Oklahoman Larry Neighbors took the second.

Mitrisin is a Rookie Winner in Knoxville Sprints by Bob Wilson

KNOXVILLE, Iowa - It is not often that a driver picks up his initial win at the Marion County Fairgrounds and it is even more rare that a rookie driver grabs that first checkered flag here. Jeff Mitrisin won his first career feature event at Knoxville Raceway driving for his father and Phil Sereg in an American Challenge chassis in a rare Sunday night racing program. The win paid the young driver $2,500 for his efforts. The race, a final warm-up before the running of the 36th AMOCO Knoxville Nationals, was rain delayed from Saturday night and found Mitrisin starting on the front row. The rookie driver took the immediate lead and after a series of yellow and red flags current track points leader Danny Lasoski was positioned in second place. The “Dude” had started in the sixth row by lap six he had become glued to Mitrisin’s rear bumper.

Going into turn one three laps later Lasoski shot to the bottom and made the pass to take the lead. It then looked as if one more win would fall into the column for the Guy Forbrook machine, but on the sixteenth go around Lasoski dove to the bottom in turn one in heavy lapped traffic and became enmeshed with one of those cars. He then spun bringing out the yellow flag and relegating himself to the rear on the restart after a tire change.

When the race went green again Mitrisin was able to pull away from his nearest competitor as he went on to take his first career win on the half-mile oval. Trailing closely was Lance Blevins in the runner-up position. Skip Jackson took passing honors as he came from the tail of the lineup to take third. Terry McCarl was fourth and pole sitter Jimmy Sills claimed fifth. Rounding out the top ten finishers were Dave Calaman, Tony Moro, Jaymie Moyle, Dennis Moore, Jr. and Len Thompson.

In the companion 360 sprints Randy Martin padded his points lead as he claimed his third win of the season. David Hesmer chased the Missouri driver the distance and settled for second. Jeff Haines, Bruce Drottz and Duane Van Heukelom formed the top five finishers.

60 sprint cars competed during the two-day event.

Mark Kinser Wins First Night of Racing at the 36th Annual Amoco Knoxville Nationals

Story By Perry Bell, Knoxville Dirt Digest Sports Editor

Sammy Swindell followed Mark Kinser's every move, but the swift Tenn., pilot wasn't able to pass the rapid moving Wirtgen America Maxim.

Kinser took the win and assured himself of earning the most points on the opening night of qualifying for the 36th running of the AMOCO Knoxville Nationals. The win for Kinser was not an easy one with Swindell on his tail throughout the 20-lap main event.

In victory lane Kinser commented, "That was a good race. It was a tough one. I saw Sammy (Swindell) there a couple of times."

Kinser said the track was awesome as he was able to race his car virtually anywhere he wanted on the speedy half-mile dirt oval.

Swindell didn't want to see any caution flags, but one flew with six laps in the books when Dan Coggeshell, of Milo, spun the No. 3 sprinter in front of the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame & Museum.

"When the yellow fell my car was a little tight," Swindell said. "All I can say is the driver needs to do a better job."

The early race leader was Todd Shaffer, of Millerstown, Pa. Shaffer started on the pole of the main event and he stayed out front until Mark took away the front running spot with 11 circuits complete.

Less than two laps later Sammy Swindell moved past Shaffer into second place. Then the show was on. Sammy and Mark literally electrified a record first night crowd of 17,500 by making daring moves in and out of lapped traffic.

Shaffer maintained the show position (third) at the flagstand, just in front of a hard-charging Jeff Swindell. Finishing fifth in the feature was Jeff Shepard.

Rounding out the top 10 in the feature were Kenny Jacobs, Andy Hillenburg, Frankie Kerr, Dave Calaman and Knoxville weekly regular Brent Antill. www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 54 of 72 Mark Kinser not only was fast in the feature but he had quick time for the night with a run of 15.269 breaking the old mark of 15.276 seconds set by Mike Reinke earlier this year. A total of 71 cars hit the track for time trials.

Collecting victories in the five 10-lap heat races were Van Gurley Jr., Dave Calaman, Sammy Swindell, Frankie Kerr and Brian Paulus.

Jeff Tuttle claimed the C-Feature and transferred to the tail of the B along with second-place finisher Chad Radel. Danny Smith posted a victory in the B-Feature with Dean Jacobs running second. Smith and Jacobs tagged the tail of the main event Wednesday night.

Taking third in the B-Feature was Skip Jackson, a Knoxville regular, who switched to the No. 55 car after Larry Pinegar was injured racing in Oskaloosa Monday night.

The first mishap on the track at the AMOCO Knoxville Nationals was the No. 7 car of Jimmy Sills. Sills crashed hard into the fence coming out of turn one after completing his time trial run. Sills was taken to the Knoxville Area Community Hospital for a checkup.

Posting a win in the last chance heat races were Judi Bates and Tim Baker. Bates is the lone female entry at the 1996 event.

Mark Kinser, Sammy Swindell and Todd Shaffer met with the press following the races.

Earlier in the day, Bill Elliott and Richard Petty were guests of honor at the annual press luncheon. They spoke with reporters and posed for photographs following the lunch.

Danny Lasoski is the career leader in feature wins at the Knoxville Raceway. Lasoski passed Terry McCarl with eight laps in the book to take over the lead position Thursday evening.

Terry McCarl waited until 16 laps were complete when he whipped around "The Dude" from Dover, Mo., to take the lead position once again in the main event. McCarl held off the challenge of Dave Blaney and Lasoski in the late stages to take a dramatic win Thursday. Blaney took over second at the finish line and Lasoski was www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 57 of 72 third. Settling for fourth place was Craig Dollansky. Defending and 11-time Knoxville Nationals Champion Steve Kinser was fifth in the main event.

Rounding out the top 10 in the feature were Steve Smith, Joe Gaerte, Greg Hodnett, Don Droud Jr. and Keith Kauffman.

McCarl put on a wild celebration in victory lane. He climbed on top of his wing and started waving the checkered flag. After jumping down from the car, McCarl hugged and kissed his wife. And anyone nearby including the trophy girls were next in line.

Steve Kinser posted quick time over a field of 77 other competitors who took a lap around the half-mile dirt oval Thursday night.

Collecting wins in the five 10-lap heat races were Keith Kauffman, Danny Lasoski the six-time Knoxville Raceway Season Point Champion, Lance Blevins, Ed Lynch Jr., and Craig Dollansky. Keith Kauffman prevented Steve Kinser from posting a perfect score early on Thursday night as he took the first heat victory. Steve Kinser was second in the opening heat after posting quick time for the night with a run of 15.614 seconds.

Adding victories in the two Last Chance heats were Kenny Hansen and Marlon Jones. The top four in the Last Chance races qualified for the C-Feature. Among that foursome in the first heat was "fast" Fred Rahmer, who was second in the heat to earn a transfer.

Dion Hindi won the C-Feature by leading the final eight of 10 laps. Transferring to the B-Feature along with Hindi was Len Thompson.

A fifth lap restart enabled Dennis Moore Jr. to overtake Jaymie Moyle for the top spot in the B-Feature. Moore earned a transfer to the main event by winning and Moyle finished second.

Mark Kinser Wins his First Nationals in Wire-to-Wire Race www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 60 of 72 By Perry Bell, Knoxville Dirt Digest Sports Editor

Mark Kinser reached one of his long awaited goals. He captured the 30-lap 1996 Amoco Knoxville Nationals Championship Saturday night with a convincing win. Kinser started on the pole and he never gave up the lead. After out-racing front row starter Sammy Swindell for the front running spot, Mark was long gone. Only caution flags were able to keep the 5M car in sight.

The victory was the 12th Nationals Title for Mark's father, Karl Kinser. Karl, the chief mechanic for the Wirtgen America, Gaerte powered Maxim Chassis, won 10 crowns with cousin Steve Kinser behind the wheel. Karl's first title was Dick Gaines in the cockpit back in 1974.

Mark has led the Nationals Championship on several occasions, including a year ago. This year was a different story.

Dave Blaney moved into second place a little over midway through the main event, but he couldn't catch the "Hustling Hoosier".

Blaney finished second at the finish line followed by Craig Dollansky, of Elk River, Minn. Dollansky is a first year regular on the All-Star Circuit.

Craig Dollansky motored past Steve Kinser, 11-time champion of the Knoxville Nationals, after Kinser tagged the wall coming off turn two late in the race.

Steve Kinser held on for fourth place followed by Sammy Swindell in fifth.

Terry McCarl was the top finisher by a Knoxville weekly competitor. McCarl was 11th in the feature followed by six-time Knoxville Season Point Champion, Danny Lasoski in 12th.

Kinser's victory at the 36th Annual Knoxville Nationals was broadcast live to a Nationwide audience by TNN Motorsports (The Nashville Network)

Dale Blaney won the 22-lap "B" feature. Tyler Walker, a 17-year-old from Santa Clarita, California, won the prestigious "Rookie of the Nationals" award.

A rainout Friday evening pushed the conclusion of the 1996 Nationals to Sunday Night.

Pauch Closes Out Knoxville Nationals with a Win

by Bob Wilson

Billy Pauch raced to a rare Sunday night feature event win at Knoxville Raceway to close out the 36th AMOCO Knoxville Nationals. The event was staged to replace the rain-canceled Friday night Nationals program.

Pauch, who had never won here and who was racing injured from a recent racing accident, was grateful to have some good luck for once at this half-mile oval. One year ago he suffered a Nationals-ending injury during warm-ups and was forced to return home, but on this night he drove the John Zemaitis Maxim to a $7,000 win

The start of the 20-lap event saw an immediate red flag as Donny Schatz smashed into the infield restraining fence at the flagstand. He was not injured. When the race was resumed pole-sitter Daniel Coggeshell took the lead with Nationals rookie Kevin Gobrecht following closely. Both drivers chose to run the cushion of the track and by lap seven they had entered lapped traffic with Coggeshell leading Gobrecht by ten yards.

With the race ten laps in the books, Gobrecht dove to the low side of Coggeshell in turn one and grabbed the lead as raced out of the second corner. A yellow flag and then a race-stopping red banner allowed the feature www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 63 of 72 event teams to make crucial adjustments and when the race was resumed Pauch seemed able to charge into turn three much harder.

As Pauch and Gobrecht flashed by the flagstand on the fifteenth circuit they were side by side and on the backchute he caught Gobrecht and motored by him on the low side in turn three.

1996 Rookie of the Nationals Tyler Walker passed Gobrecht on the final circuit and claimed the $5,000 second place paycheck. Gobrecht held for third to earn $4,000, Skip Jackson took the $3,000 fourth place money and Coggeshell was fifth and won $2,500. Kevin Huntley claimed sixth from his 21st starting position and was rewarded $1,000 for the Hard Charger Award. Rounding out the top ten finishers were Tommie Estes, Jr., Ronnie Day, Jaymie Moyle and Ryan Jamison.

Jackson was the class of the 49-car field in qualifying time trials with a lap of 15.783.

Heat events went to Kevin Frey, Jamison, Shawn Moore, Kenny Hansen and Steve Beitler. Huntley was victorious in the B Main and led four qualifiers to the tail of the A feature.

Skip Jackson Captures Knoxville Sprint Finale

by Bob Wilson www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 65 of 72 KNOXVILLE, Iowa - Skip Jackson captured the 25-lap Season Championship at Knoxville Raceway Saturday night. It was the 43rd season finale at this Marion County racing facility.

Jackson, who came aboard the winning J & J Racing team sprinter just prior to the 36th AMOCO Knoxville Nationals, started the feature event in the fourth row after opening up the evening with a near record run in qualifying time trials. Fellow Aussie Jaymie Moyle was positioned two rows in front of him and the race would boil down to a one-two finish for the men from the Land Down Under.

The opening lap belonged to Jeff Mitrisin but Leonard Lee surged by to claim the second go around and he was able to open up a substantial lead when a series of yellow flags bunched the field of cars. With eight laps in the books Moyle took the point position on the restart with Jackson following closely on his heels.

Moyle entered lapped traffic on the 15th circuit and Jackson pulled right onto his rear bumper where he was able to make a pass coming out of the fourth turn four laps later to take the lead. Moyle made several attempts to challenge after that but it was not to be in the cards on this night.

Jackson received $3,000 for his efforts with Moyle taking home a $2,500 pay day. Trailing the Jackson-Moyle finish were Lee, Mitrisin and Brent Antill. Rounding out the top ten finishers were Travis Cram, Ryan Jamison, Marlon Jones, Shawn Moore and Bob Weuve.

Jackson's finish assured him a third place finish in the season points race. Danny Lasoski and Terry McCarl finished first and second respectively in the points battle and were racing at other venues on this evening.

In the 360 sprint division, David Hesmer claimed the Season Championship in a non-stop 15-lap affair. It was Hesmer's 29th career win and secured a runner up finish in the season points race.

Division champion Randy Martin finished eighth at final tally. Chasing Hesmer to the line were Mike Trent, Bruce Drottz and Tim St. Arnold.

Aikey is a Winner in Deery Summer Series Knoxville Finale

by Bob Wilson

Knoxville, Iowa - Jeff Aikey closed out the Deery Brothers Late Model Summer Series with a win at Knoxville Raceway Saturday night. The win paid the Cedar Falls driver $2,500 as he defended his title to this race of one year ago.

The win was never really in doubt as Aikey survived several yellow flag periods to pull away with ease after each restart of the 40-lap event. Rain also forced several periods of delay and forced the evening of racing to go long.

Through the first half of the race Gary Webb chased Aikey around the half-mile oval but was never able to mount a threat. Then with the race at the half-way point Webb coasted to a stop on the backstretch the victim of www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com Page 68 of 72 a flat tire. The restart saw Brian Birkhofer take up the chase but he too was unable to catch the fleet Aikey machine.

An additional yellow flag with three laps remaining forced a single file restart but Aikey was not to be challenged as Birkhofer finished second, Tommy Elston took third, Terry Schlipman was fourth and Craig Jacobs rounded out the top five finishers.

In the companion hobby stock feature event John Schulz of Burlington was the winner with Bill Bonnett of Knoxville second and J. C. Nehring of Hubbard third. 93 hobby stocks and 43 late models competed during the evening.
