Madsen Storms to Season Opener Win at Knoxville Raceway! by Bill Wright

KNOXVILLE RACEWAY, Knoxville, IA, April 19, 2014 – In what many feel is the most competitive weekly field Knoxville Raceway has ever assembled in the 410 class, Ian Madsen struck the first blow by winning the Season Opener at the “Sprint Car Capital of the World” on Saturday night. The win was the third in the Aussie’s career at Knoxville. Joe Beaver took home the win with the 360 class, and veteran Steve Breazeale won in the 305’s.

Brooke Tatnell took the lead from his pole position when the green flag dropped, but the start was called back for a Cole Wood spin. Don Droud Jr. lost an engine at the same time. Madsen used the reprieve to storm into the lead on the restart and set sail with Tatnell in pursuit. While the lead trio of Madsen, Tatnell and Dusty Zomer were maneuvering lapped traffic, a battle featuring slidejobs, near misses and edge of your seat action was behind them.

At the halfway point of the 20-lapper, Justin Henderson, Brian Brown, Terry McCarl, Mark Dobmeier and Davey Heskin were dicing in spots four through eight. The only caution flew with eleven laps in the books, when Craig Dollansky got into the turn two wall. Dobmeier would go up in smoke on lap twelve, ending his bid for a solid finish, but the rest of the event went non-stop.

Tatnell closed late in traffic, but Madsen threaded the needle on a couple of occasions and pulled away. Henderson closed on Zomer and took third on the white flag lap. McCarl was fifth, and Brown, Bronson Maeschen, hard- charger Clint Garner, Josh Schneiderman and Dustin Selvage rounded out the top ten. McCarl posted quick-time on the night, while Dollansky, Henderson and Maeschen won heat races. Larry Ball Jr. took the B main.

“The lapped cars were pretty hairy,” said Madsen in Victory Lane. “I didn’t want to slide across and give someone the opportunity to gain some ground on me. I have to thank Brett Nehring, Matt Barbara and everyone who put this team together. It’s very special everything that everyone’s done everything they have to make this team so great. There was a great crowd tonight, and I thank all the fans for coming out. I hope they come back!”

Beaver led from the start in the 15-lap 360 feature. He had company, however, as Jon Agan and Jonathan Cornell were in pursuit early in the going. Justin Henderson, pulling double duty in the 410’s, shot by Cornell for third on lap six, after starting eighth. On the next circuit, Agan shot by Beaver for the lead, but the move was negated when Ricky Montgomery brought the yellow flag out after stopping on the front straight.

Beaver pulled away from Agan on the restart, while Henderson seized the opportunity to shoot by Agan into the runner-up position. The lead trio remained in that order to the finish, while Cornell and Russ Hall swapped fourth and fifth, with Cornell winning that battle. Billy Alley finished sixth, while Tony Shilling, Dave Hall, Jamie Ball and Lee Grosz rounded out the top ten. Henderson registered quick-time, while Calvin Landis, Dave Hall and Grosz won heats.

“I don’t know who it was, but thanks for the yellow,” said Beaver of Agan’s negated pass for the lead. “Agan had us. I was slowing for the lapped cars and trying not to make a boneheaded move and run over them. We got a restart and made one move through the lapped traffic that I think helped us. (Henderson) will be tough all year, but tonight’s about us and we worked hard for it.”

The 305 main event became a race of attrition. At the start contact between Kevin Hetrick and Sawyer Phillips sent the latter spinning and collecting rookies McKenna Haase, Devin Kline and Christopher Scank. A second try saw Matthew Stelzer gets sideways and Chris Walraven and Kade Higday spinning to avoid him.

Once underway, Breazeale took control from outside row one. J Kinder moved into second on lap five, and Stelzer came back to claim third on lap nine. The final caution flew for Tanner Edwards who suffered a broken front end with ten laps down. The restart saw Kinder lose power, and fourth running Michael Philben break his front end after contact with him. On the next try, Matt Stephenson dropped out of third and went pitside.

Breazeale cruised the final two laps for his fourth 305 win here. Stelzer was second, ahead of hard-charger Stacey Alexander, Hetrick and Keoni Texeira. Walraven, Mitchell Alexander, Bob Hildreth, Jeff Wilke and Higday rounded out the top ten. Walraven set quick time, while Wilke, Kinder and Haase won the heats. “I looked up on the restart and saw the 88 (Kinder) behind me and said ‘Man, not again.’” said Breazeale in Victory Lane. “He’s a good shoe. We just got lucky starting on the front row. I want to thank Kenny Vrban who owns this car. This race was for him.”

Dollansky Wires Field at Knoxville! by Bill Wright

KNOXVILLE RACEWAY, Knoxville, IA, April 26, 2014 – Craig Dollansky held off both the challenges of Terry McCarl and the rain to record his 13th career victory at the Knoxville Raceway on Saturday night. Billy Alley won his eleventh career 360 feature, and Matthew Stelzer won for the third time in the 305 class. Starting on the pole, Dollansky led Mark Dobmeier and Bronson Maeschen early in 20-lap 410 feature. McCarl made his move into third a lap later and tried to reel in the second place car of Dobmeier. Dobmeier was eliminated with nine laps in the books, when contact with a lapped car sent him upside down in turn two. He was uninjured.

Light rain fell during the red flag period, but the race was continued with Dollansky leading McCarl, Lynton Jeffrey, Justin Henderson and Maeschen on the restart. Henderson shot into third on the restart, as McCarl pursued the leader. Garrett Dollansky spun on lap 15 bringing caution again.

McCarl made a move on the low side of Dollansky on the restart, but the Elk River, Minnesota native held the point aboard the Big Game Treestands #7. Maeschen was running fifth with 17 laps in, when he spun, bringing the final caution of the event. Jeffrey used the restart to shoot by Henderson to finish third behind Dollansky and McCarl, who fell short with another slider. Ian Madsen was fifth. Wayne Johnson, Davey Heskin, Dustin Selvage, Brooke Tatnell and hard-charger Cole Wood rounded out the field. Henderson set quick time, while Selvage, Heskin and Josh Schneiderman won heats. Wood won the B main.

“We made the right adjustments on the car,” said Dollansky in Victory Lane. “It’s great to win out here tonight. You never know what’s going to happen in these races. I was just glad to see the rain held off. This is a special race track. To be back here racing with my son (Garrett), is great. Terry is a good competitor and a great guy. We had a pretty good race on those restarts.”

Alley won for the first time at the “Sprint Car Capital of the World” since 2008. He cruised to this one, leading every lap. He was never seriously challenged in the 15-lapper. One red flag, and one caution plagued the event. . On la nine, seventh running Carson McCarl was unable to avoid the lapped car of Mike Van Haaften, and jumped his right rear, sending his machine upside down. He was unhurt.

On lap eleven, a fifth running, Jamie Ball, contacted the wall and came to a stop. Alley led Jon Agan, Russ Hall, Joe Beaver and Justin Henderson back to green flag racing. Henderson passed Beaver and then Hall to complete the top three behind Alley. Hall was fourth, and Beaver fifth. Nate Van Haaften, Calvin Landis, Matt Moro, hard-charger Jeff Swindell and Jarrod Schneiderman rounded out the top ten. Alley also posted quick time, while Tom Lenz, Ball and Schneiderman won heats.

“This is probably one of the biggest wins in my career, because it’s been so long,” said Alley in Victory Lane. “To win at Knoxville is a great honor. There are a lot of great racecar drivers and race teams here, no matter what class you’re in. I’m proud of our race team. Joe Steinbach created all this. I’m just blessed to be able to drive it. 50% of all our winnings go to the Git-R-Done Foundation that Larry the Cable Guy has created. That’s cool too.”

Like the other two winners, Matthew Stelzer led from start to finish in the 12-lap 305 feature. Kade Higday kept the pressure on, however, in finishing second. Season opener winner, Steve Breazeale was third after a late race battle with fourth running J Kinder. Hard-charger, Stacey Alexander came from row eight to round out the top five. Finishing the top ten were Steve Palmer, Mitchell Alexander, Kevin Hetrick, Chris Walraven and Keoni Texeira. Mike Philben posted quick time, while Higday, Stelzer and Kinder won the heats.

“I have to thank my Dad tonight,” said Stelzer. “This one is his (the team chased fuel pump issues early in the night). It’s just him and myself tonight. I couldn’t do it without him. I was really aggressive in lapped traffic. Normally, I’m not. I saw Higday behind me on the yellow. He’s going to be a good one.”

Brown Breaks Through at Knoxville! by Bill Wright

KNOXVILLE RACEWAY, Knoxville, IA, May 3, 2014 – After scoring sixteen wins in 2013, Brian Brown had a rough start this season. He finally broke through with a hard-earned victory on Saturday night at Knoxville Raceway. The win was the Grain Valley, Missouri driver’s 26th in 410 competition at Knoxville placing him ninth on the all-time wins list. Knoxville’s Joe Beaver won for the second time this season in the 360 class, while Holt’s Summit, Missouri’s J Kinder won in the 305 class.

Lynton Jeffrey shot out from the pole to lead early in the 20-lap 410 feature event with Brown and Justin Henderson in tow. Soon, Terry McCarl took over third before Cole Wood flipped in turn four with six laps in the books. The Auburn, California driver was taken to the hospital for observation.

The red flag occurred right after Brown had passed Jeffrey for the lead and negated the move. Brown made good on the pass on the eighth lap, however, before Garrett Dollansky stopped after tagging the wall. Brown led Jeffrey, McCarl, Henderson and Craig Dollansky back to green flag racing.

On lap ten, McCarl shot by Jeffrey for second and began his pursuit of Brown. The leader was undeterred despite one more caution period of a spun Bronson Maeschen with eleven laps down. Dollansky would get by Jeffrey a lap later to secure third, while McCarl did his best to get by Brown to no avail. Brown went on to record the win in the Casey’s General Stores/FVP #21 ahead of McCarl, Dollansky, Dusty Zomer and Jeffrey. Davey Heskin, Ian Madsen, Clint Garner, Henderson and Dustin Selvage rounded out the top ten. Henderson registered the quick time of the night, while Brown, Mark Dobmeier, Garner and Madsen won heat races. Dakota Hendrickson took the B main. Ryan Bunton got upside down in his heat after contact from another car. Cap Henry backed his mount into the turn one wall in his heat. Niether was injured.

“When you have a multi-time champion behind you like Terry, you just don’t know what to do,” said Brown in Victory Lane. “He can run the bottom and the top. He’s a hell of a competitor and a guy I grew up idolizing. He’s a hell of a racecar driver. We needed this win. Everyone on this team has been a big support. That support means more when you are down, and I feel like the luckiest guy in the world.”

Joe Beaver shot out to an early lead in the 15-lap 360 feature from his pole position. Jamie Ball came from row two to settle into second, while Jon Agan moved into third on lap three. Beaver got a bit sideways on the sixth lap, allowing Ball to drive around him to the point. Sixth running Russ Hall got sideways at that point, while Carson McCarl tagged the wall but continued to avoid him.

The restart saw Ball leading Beaver, Agan, Jarrod Schneiderman and Jonathan Cornell. At the drop of the green, Beaver surged back by Ball and went on to win in the Beaver Motorsports #53 for the fifth time in his career at Knoxville. Ball followed in second ahead of Justin Henderson, Cornell and Agan. Nate Van Haaften, Schneiderman, Billy Alley, Tony Shilling and hard-charger, Matt Moro, who turned over in his heat, completed the top ten. Agan, Dylan Peterson and Carson McCarl won heat races. Russ Hall posted quick time of the night.

“I jumped the berm and just about spun out,” said Beaver of Ball’s pass for the lead on lap six. “He got into one a little tentative (on the restart), and we drove him as hard as we could. We were pretty good after that. I want to thank Don Long. This is his motor and I appreciate all he does for us.”

Kevin Hetrick led early on in the 12-lap 305 feature ahead of Tanner Edwards and Keoni Texeira. J Kinder was moving up quickly from his starting spot outside row four, however. The night’s quick-timer grabbed third from Texeira on lap five, and second from Edwards on the next go-around.

A Christopher Scank flip slowed things with six in the books. Scank was uninjured. The restart gave Kinder the opportunity to shoot by Hetrick and he would never look back in route to his fourth career win here. Matthew Stelzer closed late to finish second, ahead of Steve Breazeale, who made a last lap pass for third. Hetrick settled for fourth ahead of Stacey Alexander. Edwards, Texeira, Jeff Wilke, Mike Philben, who flipped after the checkers, and Mike Mayberry rounded out the top ten. Kinder registered quick time, while Stelzer, Philben and Mayberry won heats.

“We worked hard to be here,” said Kinder in Victory Lane. “I have to thank my Uncle who took a couple of days off work to get this motor ready. Hogzilla is back! I’d like to thank anyone who helped me get here. This is what I want to do.”

Brown Leads Three Repeat Winners at Knoxville! by Bill Wright

KNOXVILLE RACEWAY, Knoxville, IA, May 10, 2014 – For the second week in a row, Brian Brown emerged victorious in 410 action at the Knoxville Raceway. This time, he made his winning move by passing Ian Madsen with two laps to go to secure his 27th career victory at the “Sprint Car Capital of the World”. Joe Beaver won for the second time in a row and third time this season in the 360 class, and Matthew Stelzer became a two-time winner in 2014 in the 305 class. The Dirt Trucks also visited, running two features, and Kevin Sather emerged victorious in both events.

Before a lap could be completed, Don Droud Jr. brought out the red on the backstretch. The Sonner #47 team went to work and got him back out for the restart. On the next try, Dustin Selvage destroyed his sprinter in a frontstretch ground pounder. He was uninjured.

Madsen led the 20-lap 410 feature early, ahead of Dusty Zomer and Brown. Danny Lasoski lost power and exited on lap three, while Terry McCarl took over his fourth place spot in the running order. Justin Henderson joined the lead quartet in fifth as those cars separated themselves from the pack.

Contact between McCarl and Henderson on lap nine caused damage that sidelined the latter, while McCarl came to the work area to repair a flat left rear tire. Brad Loyet also spun in turn three. The restart saw Madsen ahead of Brown, Davey Heskin, Lynton Jeffrey and Bronson Maeschen. The lead trio pulled away again.

Brown shot by Zomer on lap fifteen and set his sights on Madsen. He made his winning move on lap 19, sliding in front of the Aussie to take the lead and the $3,000 prize. Madsen, Zomer, Maeschen and Heskin followed. Craig Dollansky, hard-charger Droud, Jeffrey, Ryan Bunton and Mark Dobmeier completed the top ten. McCarl posted quick time over the 36-car field, and unofficially kept his point lead, while Jason Johnson, AJ Moeller, Brad Loyet and Clint Garner won heat races. Garrett Dollansky copped the B main.

“On that first lap, Danny (Lasoski) went across my front and a big clod knocked my tear-offs off,” said Brown in Victory Lane. “More than anything it was a hindrance to wipe my shield on every straightaway. The Dunkin’s did well with the track again tonight. Those guys were keeping a good pace. I was just trying to wait until lapped traffic. We got there the one time, and the yellow came out. That messed my game plan up, but we finally got Ian there. Two in a row…it feels great!” Jonathan Cornell led from his pole position early in the 15-lap 360 feature. Joe Beaver settled into second ahead of Jon Agan. By the halfway point of the 15-lap event, Cornell, Beaver and Agan had separated themselves from the fourth place car of Jason Johnson and Justin Henderson.

A stumble over the cushion by Cornell on lap nine, set up the winning pass by Beaver, who cruised to his third win of the year, and the sixth of his career at Knoxville. Cornell held off Agan for second, ahead of Henderson and Jason Johnson. Nate Van Haaften, Jamie Ball, Russ Hall, Calvin Landis and Matt Moro rounded out the top ten. Henderson posted quick-time, while Moro, Tony Shilling and Russ Hall won heats.

“Jonathan had us smoked and I was just chasing,” said Beaver in Victory Lane. “I knew after he got the jump, we just needed to ride around. It’s always tougher for the leader to get through traffic than second is. Once he got through them, it was easier for us. It seemed like we caught everything well.”

The 12-lap 305 main event also went non-stop. J Kinder led from his pole position early, ahead of Kevin Hetrick and Mike Philben. Philben then took second, while Matthew Stelzer moved into third on lap three. On lap five, Stelzer worked by Philben for second.

Kinder slowed a bit in lapped traffic on lap eight, and Stelzer took over the point for good, winning his second this year, and fourth in his career at Knoxville. Kinder finished second, ahead of Steve Breazeale, who worked by Kade Higday on lap nine for third. Mitchell Alexander was fifth. Chris Walraven, Philben, McKenna Haase, hard-charger Stacey Alexander and Keoni Texeira rounded out the top ten. Breazeale timed in quickest, while Walraven, Josh Jones and Mike Mayberry won heats. Harvey Pitt flipped before the second heat could start, and Andee Beierle turned over after the feature checkers. Neither was injured.

“It’s just my Dad and me here again tonight, and I just have to thank him,” said Stelzer. “I have to thank my wife, daughter, mom, grandma and grandpa. This feels good.”

Brown on Fire with Two More Feature Wins at Knoxville! by Bill Wright

KNOXVILLE RACEWAY, Knoxville, IA, May 17, 2014 – No one is hotter than Brian Brown at Knoxville Raceway. Saturday night, the Grain Valley, Missouri driver not only took his third 410 feature in a row at the famous half-mile, but he also won the 360 event as well after starting in the fifth row. It was the veteran driver’s 28th 410 win and 14th 360 win at Knoxville. He also performed a double victory performance in July of 2012. Steve Breazeale recorded his second feature win of the season and the sixth in his career in the 305 class.

Lynton Jeffrey led from his pole position at the outset in the 20-lap 410 main event. Bronson Maeschen moved into second, while Craig Dollansky and Mark Dobmeier put on a battle for third. Things were heating up, with the top five in lapped traffic, when Josh Schneiderman stopped with a flat tire at the halfway point.

Jeffrey led Maeschen, Dobmeier, Terry McCarl and Dollansky back to green flag racing. A lap later, McCarl shot by Dobmeier for third. Brown got stronger as the race wore on. When McCarl lost some momentum through the middle of turns one and two, Brown pounced on the show position on lap 17.

Things were closing up on the leader Jeffrey, but he took the white flag in the lead. Meanwhile, Don Droud Jr. slowed to a stop in turn three, setting up a green, white, checker finish, with Jeffrey leading Maeschen, Brown, McCarl and Dobmeier.

Brown shot past Maeschen for second in turns one and two on the restart, and carried his momentum down the backstretch in pursuit of Jeffrey. He made his winning move by diving to the bottom of turn three and leading the last two laps to victory. Jeffrey held second, ahead of Maeschen, McCarl and Clint Garner. Dobmeier, Davey Heskin, Ian Madsen, Dollansky and Brooke Tatnell rounded out the top ten.

Brown also set quick time, while Wayne Johnson, Dusty Zomer, Heskin and Dobmeier won the heats. Cole Wood won the B main. An incident in the third heat saw Rob Kubli and Schneiderman end up flipping. Neither were injured, and Schneiderman returned to compete in the B main and transfer to the main event. “I just couldn’t get rolling very well early,” said Brown in Victory Lane. “I’d get my wing back too far and get tight. I got racing with Terry there, and we race each other as hard as anybody. I just couldn’t get going, but we got our wing where we needed it to be and we took off. On the restart, one went to the bottom and one through the middle. I went to the top and got such a good run. I was running over Lynton on the backstretch and I was able to put a winning move on. (Jeffrey) has taken over sprint car racing, and he’s done a lot for our race team with Vortex Wings. We’re proud to run his wings.”

The 360 feature was just as exciting. After Sawyer Phillips and Jordan Boston had difficulties, and Jonathan Cornell got into the wall before a lap could be completed, Russ Hall led from his pole position early with Jon Agan in tow. Jack Dover and Jamie Ball went back and forth for the third spot, before Tyler Brooks came to a stop entering the back pit gate with four laps in the books.

On the restart, Hall led Agan, Ball, Dover and Brown back to green. Dover surged by Ball on the restart for third, and picked off Agan for second on lap seven. With Hall running low and Dover running higher on the track, Brown moved into the top three on lap nine, and disposed of Dover two circuits later. He reeled in Hall and passed him on lap eleven, but the move was negated when Austin Alumbaugh suffered a flat right rear tire.

The four lap dash for the checkers saw Hall leading Brown, Dover, Agan and Joe Beaver back to green. Hall held his position, taking the low groove that Brown had been using. Brown shot to the cushion and made the winning pass after a fierce battle on lap 14. Hall came home second, ahead of Dover, Agan and Beaver. Justin Henderson, Nate Van Haaften, Ball, Mike Houseman Jr. and Jarrod Schneiderman rounded out the top ten. Henderson set quick time, while Wayne Johnson, Van Haaften and Brown won the heats.

“Russ is a heck of a driver, and has been a friend of mine for a long time,” said Brown in Victory Lane. “He does a great job in the 360 class. I’d like to see him win too, but we’re here to win. Starting ninth, with the caliber of drivers that are here…to be able to pull that off…it says a lot about our team.”

Steve Breazeale led from start to finish in the 12-lap 305 feature. Kade Higday smacked the backstretch wall and broke his rear-end before a lap could be completed. Breazeale drove from his pole position to the lead ahead of Mike Mayberry and Mike Philben once the green flag came out. With three laps in the books, contact between Mitchell Alexander and Tanner Edwards brought about the final slowdown of the event.

Breazeale led Mayberry, Philben, Keoni Texeira and Kevin Hetrick back to green flag racing. Breazeale was never seriously challenged, but Philben worked his way into second on lap five. He would finish there behind Breazeale, and ahead of Matthew Stelzer, Mayberry and J Kinder. Hetrick, Texeira, hard-charger Stacey Alexander, Chris Walraven and McKenna Haase rounded out the top ten. Stelzer set quick time, while Higday, Breazeale and Haase won heat races.

“These guys are tough,” said Breazeale in Victory Lane. “They are young…I guess I’m old. It’s getting tougher all the time. I was lucky to start up front, or I would have been back in fifth or sixth. These guys are fun to race with, and I’m having a blast this year.”

Dollansky Holds Off Heskin in Exciting Finish at Knoxville! by Bill Wright

KNOXVILLE RACEWAY, Knoxville, IA, May 24, 2014 – In a race that saw four lead changes, Craig Dollansky held off Davey Heskin to claim his second feature win of the season at the Knoxville Raceway on Saturday night. The Elk River, Minnesota was paid $3,000 for his 14th career 410 win at the half-mile. In 360 action, Jason Johnson took his fifth career feature win, while Kevin Hetrick scored for the first time in his Knoxville career in the 305 class.

Heskin got the jump on Dollansky to start the 20-lap 410 main event ahead of Lynton Jeffrey. Dusty Zomer shot into the top three on lap four. A battle ensued the next several laps as Terry McCarl and quick-timer Justin Henderson moved up to challenge Zomer for a podium position. At the halfway point, McCarl and Henderson moved by Zomer, a lap before Henderson would get by McCarl for third.

After the pair crossed the start/finish line, and with the top five bunched up in lapped traffic, the caution came out for Brooke Tatnell, who got into the turn three wall. The restart saw Heskin lead the field back to green, ahead of Dollansky, Henderson, McCarl and Zomer.

Dollansky slid in front of Heskin on the restart, but the latter was back in the lead a lap later in a torrid battled for the point. Dollansky came back on lap fourteen to take the lead and Henderson followed him by Heskin. Heskin was not to be denied, however, and surged back into second in the closing laps. Noticeably gaining on the leader, he nosed under Dollansky heading into turn one on the last lap, only to be denied by the leader, who took his line and cut his momentum. Dollansky was victorious over Heskin, Henderson, Danny Lasoski and McCarl. Brian Brown, Ian Madsen, Zomer, Mark Dobmeier and B main winner Brad Loyet rounded out the top ten. Cole Wood, Larry Ball Jr. and Bronson Maeschen won the heats. Bob Weuve and Skylar Prochaska got upside down in the B main on separate incidents. Neither was injured.

“I tell you what, (Heskin) was good,” said Dollansky in Victory Lane. “This Knoxville racetrack…they don’t come any better. Kris Dunkin and his crew do such a fabulous job with it every week. There’s a lot of places where they don’t know what to do with the racetrack. This is the best track in the world. I’m just happy for this race team. We’ve been working hard this week. We still aren’t there yet, but we’ll keep working hard.”

An incident marred the start of the 15-lap 360 feature. After contact from another car, Jonathan Cornell slid sideways, collecting Mike Van Haaften and Kris Miller, who tipped over. Cornell and Miller were uninjured, but finished for the night. Russ Hall led the first green flag lap, before Mike Houseman Jr. came to a stop.

While Hall went high on the restart, Jason Johnson made the bottom stick and took the point before the caution came out again a lap later, for a spun Sawyer Phillips. The restart saw Eunice, Louisiana native leading Hall, Jon Agan, Jamie Ball and Justin Henderson back to the green. Ball passed Again for third on the restart.

Three more laps were in the books when Phillips spun again, ending his night. Ball again had a good start and got by Hall for second. While Johnson checked out, Ball and Hall battled for the runner-up position. On lap ten, Hall took it for good after a lengthy battle. Johnson won the event by half a straightaway over Hall, Agan, who gained third from Ball on the last lap, and Henderson. Joe Beaver, Dylan Peterson. Matt Moro, Jarrod Schneiderman and Matt Juhl rounded out the top ten. Henderson also set quick time in the 360 class, while Nate Van Haaften, Agan and Hall won heat races.

“On the start, I went to the top of one and two and (Hall) actually drove by me on the bottom,” said Johnson in Victory Lane. “I was actually surprised he opened the bottom back up on the restart. There was actually quite a bit of moisture there. After that, I just wanted to hit my marks and get a rhythm as fast as I could. This is our third week in a row here, and we’ve been struggling. I can’t say enough about this race team.”

Kevin Hetrick of Gladstone, Illinois shot around the front row of Mike Philben and McKenna Haase on lap one and led the distance using the low groove in the 12-lap 305 main event. The race was slowed only once by a caution at the halfway point for debris from the machine of Corey Kautz.

Haase stayed close in second, ahead of Mitchell Alexander. Matthew Stelzer and J Kinder ran a strong fourth and fifth. Hard-charger, Stacey Alexander, Philben, Steve Breazeale, Keoni Texeira and Jeff Wilke rounded out the top ten. Chris Walraven registered quick time, while Dustin Clark, Stelzer and Kade Higday won the heats.

“It was a tough race,” said Hetrick of his first career Knoxville win. “At times, I wanted lapped traffic and at times, I wanted clean air. I thought I had a good rhythm going. I have to thank my Dad and Brian Anderson. We’ve been struggling the last couple years here. Tonight, we had a perfect car. I’d like to dedicate this to all the people who help me.”

Victory is Sweet’s at Knoxville! by Bill Wright

KNOXVILLE RACEWAY, Knoxville, IA, June 14, 2014 – In the World of Outlaws only tune-up for August’s Knoxville Nationals, Brad Sweet drove Kasey Kahne’s #49 to victory at the Knoxville Raceway on Saturday night. The victory was the first in 410 competition at Knoxville for Sweet, who won the 2008 Knoxville Midget Nationals. Justin Henderson earned his first feature win of the year in the 360 class.

Sweet earned the pole position for the 25-lap WoO feature event by virtue of winning the Dash. He shot out to an early lead in the non-stop event over Danny Lasoski and Shane Stewart. Knoxville Raceway point leader, Terry McCarl, surged into contention, passing Stewart for third on lap two. The two drivers would swap the spot three times, before McCarl gained it for good on lap five.

Sweet entered lapped traffic on lap eight. Lasoski made a brief bid for the lead, before McCarl shot underneath him in turn two for the runner-up spot on lap fourteen. Stewart followed suit and tracked down McCarl, who was caught behind a lapped car with two to go.

Sweet raced to a three-second advantage and finished over a straightaway ahead of McCarl at the checkers. Stewart was third, ahead of Daryn Pittman and Kerry Madsen. Lasoski, Paul McMahan, Ian Madsen, hard-charger Brian Brown (from 23rd) and Craig Dollansky rounded out the top ten. World of Outlaws regulars comprised just four of the top ten slots.

RJ Johnson flipped in time trials after breaking his rear axle. He was done for the night, but uninjured. Jason Sides and Dollansky were involved in a heat race incident. Neither was injured. Ian Madsen hit the wall in his heat race. All three made the call for the B main.

Stewart set quick time, while Lynton Jeffrey, McMahan, Clint Garner and McCarl were heat race winners. Brooke Tatnell won the C main, and Kerry Madsen took the B.

“It feels good,” said Sweet in Victory Lane. “I’ve always wanted to win at Knoxville. I won here in a midget, but it means something to beat these guys. There were 48 strong cars here tonight. We’ve been strong, but we’ve slumped a little bit. It’s good to be back in Victory Lane, especially here at Knoxville. We work really hard to be good at this racetrack. We had an awesome car. I could move around all over the place. I think I ran the top too long, but I felt I could run all over.”

“I got going there, and I thought we may have a shot at Brad,” said McCarl. “We were good on the bottom, and he was running the middle. He’s a pretty smart driver. We needed to get to him before he found it. We got to a couple of lapped cars, and one of them thought he was racing for second. We got slowed down a little bit, and Brad got a little bit away from us.”

“I honestly made way too many mistakes,” said the third place Stewart. “Terry found the rubber before I did and I probably should have moved down a little earlier. I thought I had a shot at him on the last lap, but I missed it in one and two. That killed my momentum. Obviously, this is a good finish. It’s hard to win here, and hard to finish on the podium. Anytime that we can do that for our guys is special.” Finishing fourth in his heat race was the only thing keeping Justin Henderson from sweeping the night’s 360 action. He registered quick time of the night, before storming from eighth to win the main event, the second in a 360 here.

Rookie Dylan Peterson shot out to the early lead in the non-stop 15-lap feature ahead of Jamie Ball and Jon Agan. Agan shot under the top two runners on lap three and took the point. Four laps later, Henderson duplicated the move by a dueling Ball and Peterson for the second spot.

On lap eight, Henderson hit the high side to drive around Agan to take the lead for good in the BDS Motorsports #1. Agan finished second, ahead of Joe Beaver, Russ Hall, who drove from 18th to fourth and Jonathan Cornell. Peterson, Matt Moro, Ball, Matt Juhl and Josh Higday rounded out the top ten.

Moro, Jarrod Schneiderman and Tony Shilling won heat races. In a bizarre incident, Tyler Brooks had his throttle stick while staging for the feature. He flipped wildly on the frontstretch, but was uninjured.

“That was pretty crazy,” said Henderson in Victory Lane. “There were chunks flying everywhere. I’m glad the race went the way it did. It kept going, and there really wasn’t time to regroup. It was a lot of fun. There were cars everywhere. At the end, it was pick your moment and stick with it if it was working.”

Kenny Coolbeth Keeps it Cool in Knoxville, Earns 31st AMA Pro Flat Track Grand National Championship Win

(from AMA)

Kenny Coolbeth, aboard his Zanotti Racing Harley-Davidson, dismantled the Grand National Championship competition on Sunday, June 15, at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa and earned the 31st GNC win of his illustrious career and his second on the young 2014 AMA Pro Flat Track season.

"What can I say? You give me the kind of equipment that Zanotti Racing provides me with and this is what happens," said Coolbeth. "I'm just having fun out there. That's all it takes for me to go fast, is to simply have fun. I have great people to work with and I look forward to weekends now."

Coolbeth hooked up with Zanotti Racing last offseason, and together, the tandem has rocked the AMA Pro Flat Track paddock thus far in 2014, earning two wins and enough points to sit atop the standings after four rounds.

Coolbeth got out to an early lead after starting from second on the grid, and the Morris, Conn., native led every turn of the 25-lap shootout.

Jake Johnson trailed Coolbeth for the majority of the race. Mounted on his Ramspur Winery Harley-Davidson and starting from pole position, Johnson didn’t have a great start and found himself sixth after the first lap. Johnson rebounded quite nicely, though, as he knifed his way through the pack and eventually caught Sammy Halbert on lap nine to claim second place. From there, Johnson was able to break away and earn a strong runner-up finish.

The fiercest duel on the track wound up being between Halbert and Jared Mees. The two were in a dogfight for the majority of the race, going neck-and-neck, bar-to-bar with each other until turn three of the final lap, when Mees went too high and Halbert capitalized, earning third aboard his South East Harley-Davidson.

Mees finished just off the podium in fourth aboard his Rogers Racing Harley-Davidson. Stevie Bonsey rounded out the top five aboard his Zanotti Racing Harley-Davidson.

AMA Pro Singles

AMA Pro Singles pole sitter Kyle Johnson earned the main event victory in a rout. On the start, Johnson coughed up the lead early, only to regain it again on lap four and never look back. Johnson's 6.271-second win margin aboard his Hot Rod Harley-Davidson Honda was the largest of his brief yet impressive career.

"Oh man, the bike was feeling really great," said Johnson. "I actually didn't get off to the best start, I found myself behind a little bit at the beginning of the race but I was able to work my way up to the front. It was really nice to know I had some breathing room and didn't have to ride as hard as I could on the final laps."

Johnson's win was the second of his career. After getting off to a not-so-hot start in 2014, Johnson catapulted into fifth place in the AMA Pro Flat Track Pro Singles point standings win the victory.

Johnson's win was impressive, but the most intriguing component of the main event was the battle for second place. Kolby Carlile was able to outgun Davis Fisher by .046 seconds to steal the runner-up spot aboard his K.C. Cycle Helmet World KTM.

Fisher's third place effort aboard his TJ Burnett Farms Honda was somewhat bittersweet, but the Warren, Ore., native's consistent start to the 2014 season has him sitting third in the AMA Pro Flat Track Pro Singles point standings thus far.

Dylan Morin finished fourth aboard his Kawasaki of Simi Valley KTM and Ryan Wells rode his KTM to a strong fifth place finish.

Dollansky Conquers Knoxville Mid-Season Field!

By Bob Wilson

KNOXVILLE, IOWA (June 21) – Craig Dollansky captured the 61st annual mid-season championship at Knoxville Raceway Saturday night while Jamie Ball was victorious in the 360 division and J Kinder took the laurels for the 305s during Farm Bureau/Knoxville Raceway Hall of Fame Night.

After a red flag on the opening lap of the 410 feature for a single car wreck, pole sitter Craig Dollansky grabbed the initial lead of the 25-lap event. Just one lap later he lost that spot to fellow row one starter Lynton Jeffrey. Jeffrey held that spot until the finish of the seventh go around when Dollansky recaptured the top spot at the flag stand. Dollansky then proceeded to obliterate the 24-car field as he pulled away from all contenders to capture his 15th career feature event win in a race which went non-stop. The win paid the Minnesota driver $3,500 for his efforts.

Behind him the top ten was in constant flux and it took the entire race to sort those positions out. Fourth row starter Justin Henderson finished in the runner-up spot as Brian Brown made a last lap pass of Danny Lasoski to take third. Bronson Maeschen, an early contender, finished fifth. Rounding out the top ten finishers were Dusty Zomer, Jeffrey, Davey Heskin, Terry McCarl and Clint Garner on what could well have been the raciest track of the season.

The 360 division saw a first-time winner as Jamie Ball led nearly the entire 18-lap distance to claim the $1,500 top prize. Ball, who started on the pole, took command of the race right away. In the early going he was challenged by fellow front row starter Russ Hall. On lap eight fourth row starter Justin Henderson grabbed the runner-up position away from Hall and began chasing Ball around the big Knoxville half mile.

Henderson, who was always in Ball’s shadow, stayed very close as the two top runners began racing through the lap traffic. On the 14th circuit Henderson made the pass of Ball to claim that lap. Ball did not surrender and one lap later he had the lead again. As those two cars continued in this non-stop race Ball was able to put a few backmarkers between himself and Henderson in the final stages to come across the finish line and claim his first career feature event.

Following Ball and Henderson were Nate VanHaaften, Hall, Joe Beaver, Jon Agan, rookie Dylan Peterson and brothers Jarrod and Josh Schneiderman.

The 305 feature saw numerous slow-down flags for that 15-lap mid-season event. Kevin Hetrick utilized his front row starting nod to claim the first five laps of the race. On lap six J Kinder pulled alongside of the Hetrick machine and the duo raced side by side for the entire lap with Kinder edging Hetrick at the stripe to the top spot. Once in front Kinder created a huge lead which was negated two laps from the finish when Josh Jones wrecked in turn one.

Kinder was able to hold his lead on the restart to take his 5th career win at this Central Iowa race track. He was followed to the finish by Hetrick, Mitch Alexander, Mike Mayberry, Mathew Stelzer and rookie Devin Kline.

The 305 feature event was raced in honor of the late Brian Hetrick who lost his life in a motorcycle accident in 2008. The Hetrick family added money to the purse for that 18 lap event. Brian’s brother Kevin is a competitor in the 305 class and runs the No. 35 in tribute to him.

Five Knoxville dignitaries were inducted into the Knoxville Raceway Hall of Fame during trackside ceremonies Saturday night. The inductions marked the 36th year that the track has honored those who have made Knoxville a world-wide name. New inductees are owner-driver Craig Agan, safety crew member Randy Brisel, driver-owner- media member Tony Moro, longtime Marion County Fair Board member Grant Rankin and driver Jeff Tuttle.

Join us next Saturday night, June 28 for Cattlemen, Corn and Soybean Growers Night featuring Twin Features for the 360’s here at the Knoxville Raceway! For more information, log on to www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com!

Henderson Wins Thriller at Knoxville! by Bill Wright

KNOXVILLE RACEWAY, Knoxville, IA, July 19, 2014 – Justin Henderson shot by Ian Madsen coming for the white flag to grab the $3,000 win in the 410 sprint car feature on 3M Night at the Knoxville Raceway on Saturday. The win was Henderson’s sixth in his career at the famous half-mile. Dusty Zomer picked up a convincing win in the 360 main event, and rookie Devin Kline picked up his first career win in the 305 feature.

Wayne Johnson shot out from his starting spot on the pole to lead the first two laps of the 410 main event, ahead of Madsen and Henderson. Madsen took the point on the third go-around, while Henderson followed him by Johnson two laps later.

The only caution of the event flew with seven laps completed. Brad Loyet came to a rest in turn two. Under caution, contact from another car collapsed the front end of the tenth place car of Mark Dobmeier. He retired with Loyet.

Madsen led Henderson, Johnson, Clint Garner and Dusty Zomer back to green on the restart. Zomer took over the fourth spot, with Garner in fifth. Behind them, Sammy Swindell, Terry McCarl and Brian Brown were slicing and dicing for position.

Meanwhile, Madsen continued to lead, increasing his margin on Henderson. With five laps to go, Henderson brought the BDS Motorsports #1 closer to the leader. In heavy lapped traffic coming for the white flag, he made his winning move. Madsen finished second ahead of Johnson, Zomer and Brown. Swindell, Garner, McCarl, Davey Heskin and Craig Dollansky rounded out the top ten. Swindell set quick time on the night, while Garner, Brown, Jason Johnson and Don Droud Jr. claimed heat races. Danny Lasoski won the B main.

“I was doing nothing but screwing up,” said Henderson in Victory Lane. “I was ramping the inside berm and hitting the wall. It was a lot of fun though. I like a lot of things that are going on. It makes it a lot of fun. Bryan (Sunby) always gives us a really good car. If I wouldn’t have screwed up earlier, maybe I could have driven by him (sooner). It was a great racecar as always.”

Calvin Landis led the first two laps of the 360 feature, but it was all Dusty Zomer after that. The Sioux Falls native took the point on lap three. On the fourth go-around, Henderson moved into third, passing Sawyer Phillips.

On lap six the only stoppage of the 18-lapper came for debris in turn two. Zomer led Landis, Henderson, Jamie Ball and Lee Grosz back to green flag racing. Zomer pulled away from the field, while Henderson slowly reeled in Landis for the runner-up position. He would make his move for the spot on the last lap. Ball and Jeff Swindell trailed the lead trio. Joe Beaver, Grosz, hard-charger Russ Hall, Jarrod Schneiderman and Jason Johnson rounded out the top ten.

Henderson posted quick time in the 360 class, while Wayne Johnson, Dylan Peterson, Josh Baughman and Russ Hall claimed heat races. Billy Alley topped the B main.

“It was a fast race track,” said Zomer of his third career 360 feature aboard the Derek Ingalls’ #91. “There was a good bottom and a good top. We started everything simple. We always have some things to change, but we were fast and we were good. I think we’ll have some good notes for a couple of weeks (360 Nationals).”

Devin Kline put the L&J Enterprise #5J in the lead right away in the 15-lap 305 feature from his starting position on the pole with Steve Breazeale and Kade Higday in tow. Keoni Texeira took third briefly, but J Kinder was on the move, grabbing third on lap five, and then second from Breazeale on lap nine in the non-stop event.

Kinder was on a rail and shot by Kline in traffic for the lead on lap ten. He drifted up a bit behind a lapped car on the next circuit, however, and Kline shot back by, never giving up the point again. It was his first ever feature win here. Kinder followed, ahead of Breazeale, Texeira and Kevin Hetrick. Hard-charger Stacey Alexander, Jeff Wilke, Mitchell Alexander, Higday and Mike Philben rounded out the top ten.

Matthew Stelzer set quick time in the 305 class, but suffered motor problems in his heat and retired for the night. Stacey Alexander, Mitchell Alexander and Dustin Clark won heat races, while Corey Kautz won the B.

“I felt like I set a good pace until I got to lapped traffic,” said Kline in Victory Lane. “I got into the middle and didn’t know where to go. I ran the top and slowed down a lot. Once (Kinder) slid me, and slid back up, I knew I had a good enough car to get back on the bottom and set sail.”

Ian Madsen Holds Off Field in Marathon at Knoxville! by Bill Wright

KNOXVILLE RACEWAY, Knoxville, IA, July 26, 2014 – Ian Madsen was victorious for the second time this season and the fourth time in his career at the Knoxville Raceway on Saturday night in the 410 feature. A roller coaster A main saw just fifteen competitors cross the checkers at the finish. In the 360 class, Justin Henderson won for the second time this season, padding the BDS Motorsports #1 owner’s point lead in that class.

Before a lap could be completed in the 410 A main, Austen Wheatley flipped after contact from another car. Danny Lasoski spun to avoid the incident. Wheatley was o.k., and Lasoski restarted at the tail.

On the complete restart of the 20-lapper, Dusty Zomer took command from the pole, with Madsen and Mark Dobmeier in tow. With just a lap in the books, Cole Wood flipped hard in turn one. He was also uninjured. After the race went green again, Madsen found his way by Zomer on lap three to take the point.

Brian Brown was on the move as well, going from eighth to fifth on lap one, and taking fourth from Dobmeier on lap five. Madsen and Zomer traded the lead briefly at the halfway point, with Madsen pulling away. On lap fourteen, Brown passed Dobmeier for third and set his sights on the leaders.

Point leader, Terry McCarl, who had to work his way through the B, stalled with motor problems with fifteen laps in the books. Clint Garner, who was running seventh, spun to avoid him and had to restart at the tail. Madsen led Zomer, Brown, Dobmeier and Bronson Maeschen back to green flag racing. Brown made quick work of Zomer to move into second.

Two laps later, a vicious three-car crash ensued involving Lynton Jeffrey, Jon Agan and Dakota Hendrickson. All three climbed from their machines. Brown slid in front of Madsen when the green replaced the red, but surrendered the lead down the backstretch. When he tried to enter under Madsen in turn three, he caught the berm, made contact with the leader and launched straight into the fence. He too, walked away.

That would prove to be the final stoppage of the event. Zomer shot in front of Madsen in turns one and two when the green flew, but Madsen ducked back under to pull away for a win worth $3,000 to the Nehring #18 team. Zomer followed in second, ahead of Craig Dollansky, Dobmeier and Lasoski, from the tail. Maeschen, Davey Heskin, Justin Henderson, Don Droud Jr. and Sam Hafertepe Jr. rounded out the top ten. Brown posted quick time on the night as well as winning his heat from the sixth starting spot. Other heat winners included Garner, Hafertepe and Heskin. Lasoski won the B. Bryan Clauson lost a left rear wheel in qualifying and flipped in turn one. He was also uninjured, but done for the night.

With two point shows remaining, there are just 137 points separating first from fifth in the standings.

“I gave everything I had,” said Madsen in Victory Lane. “I didn’t want to give another one up. When I get around Brian, we start racing pretty hard. I hope he’s not too angry at him. I did chop him. I can’t thank my team enough. It’s definitely, I think, the best team in the Midwest and one of the best in the country. I’m just lucky to drive it.”

The 360 feature went almost without a hitch. Young Josh Baughman shot from the pole to lead Matt Covington and Henderson early on in the 18-lapper. The only caution came on lap five when Alan Ambers slowed to a stop in turn one.

Baughman led Covington, Henderson, Calvin Landis and Nate Van Haaften back to green flag racing. Henderson made quick work of Covington for second at that point, while Landis followed him into third on lap eight.

Baughman continued to lead until lap twelve, when Henderson found his way by for 360 career win number three here. Baughman ran a strong second, ahead of Landis, Van Haaften and Jamie Ball. Joe Beaver, Sheldon Haudenschild, Covington, Jon Agan and Dusty Zomer rounded out the top ten.

Joe Beaver registered quick time on the night over the 40-car field, while Sawyer Phillips, Henderson, Jarrod Schneiderman and Brooke Tatnell won heat races. Tony Bruce Jr. won the B.

“This was a great win,” said Henderson in Victory Lane. “I’m super-happy for this team. I’m just happy to be a part of it. Baughman was running a great race. He was doing a great job. I just enjoy the heck out of running with these guys.”

Heskin Holds on for 360 Nationals Prelim Victory! by Bryan Hulbert/Bill Wright KNOXVILLE RACEWAY, Knoxville, IA, July 31, 2014 – After several small rain delays, the 24th annual Arnold Motor Supply 360 Knoxville Nationals kicked off Thursday night with Davey Heskin taking his first 360cid Sprint Car victory at the Knoxville Raceway over the hard charging Jason Johnson.

"It was a fast track tonight, we were just balls to the wall out there," said a nearly breathless Davey Heskin in Victory Lane. "We've had a mediocre season so far. I feel like so to park it here…even on a prelim night…it's really special."

Jumping to the lead on the start, Heskin found the tail of the field on Lap 8.

Moving to second on Lap 6, traffic allowed Jason Johnson to close the gap on Heskin. Traffic would play into the hands of the Minnesota veteran, as all roads to the No. 56 were blocked before the caution waved on Lap 11 for the stalled No. 29 of Russ Hall.

Having to play out the restart twice due to debris, Johnson stayed close to challenge for the lead but would slowly watch the Deluxe Crates No. 56 begin to pull away.

Working again amongst the back markers in the closing laps, Jason Johnson would seize the opportunity to strike. Taking the white flag, the Stenhouse, Jr. Racing / Curb Agajanian Performance Group No. 41 made the bid for the lead, but would come up short as Davey Heskin grabbed the win.

"I needed lapped traffic for sure," commented second finishing Jason Johnson. "He left the door open for me on the white flag lap; but the driver missed the line."

Tony Bruce, Jr. rebounded to finish third after a test run this past Saturday night that resulted in a fifteenth place finish. Current Knoxville Raceway 360cid Sprint Car point's leader, Joe Beaver, finished fourth from eighth with Lee Grosz crossing fifth.

Casey Friedrichsen stated on the pole but slipped to finish sixth. Jamie Ball came from tenth to seventh with Kevin Swindell from twelfth to eighth. Brady Bacon crossed ninth with Dustin Selvage from nineteenth to finish tenth as the night's Hard Charger.

Thursday night's opener had 47 drivers draw in. Five Heat Races saw Kevin Swindell, Randi Miller, Jason Johnson, Cole Wood, and Ryan Roberts earning wins. The night's C-Main was scrapped and remaining drivers moved to the B-Main with Nate Van Haaften winning.

Qualifying saw Joe Beaver fastest at 15.906 seconds. Beaver also emerged as the top point getter with 491 points. He was followed by Bruce (476), Johnson (474), Heskin (471) and Grosz (467).

Night two of the 24th Arnold Motor Supply 360 Nationals begins at 7:15 P.M. (CST) with Qualifying on Friday, August 1. For continued updates and results from the Arnold Motor Supply log onto http://www.ascsracing.com and http://www.knoxvilleraceway.com.

Sammy Swindell Swings Into Knoxville Victory Lane! by Bryan Hulbert/Bill Wright

KNOXVILLE RACEWAY, Knoxville, IA, August 1, 2014 – For the fourth time in his career, Sammy Swindell visited Victory Lane in 360cid competition at the Knoxville Raceway; winning night two of the 24th annual Arnold Motor Supply 360 Knoxville Nationals with a borrowed Al Parker Racing Engine under the hood.

Challenged in the closing laps by the Sioux Falls Ford No. 13, Mark Dobmeier ran the cushion to pull even with Swindell.

"When you're out front, you don't really know," said Swindell of the race for the lead. "They said Brown was running the bottom pretty good and I made some good runs there but I was just kind of conserving my tires there early and watching Dobmeier so as long as I could keep pace with him, I wasn't too worried." Chasing Dobmeier the first eight rounds, Swindell shot from fourth to the runner up spot on the second lap. Working the low groove on the Knoxville Raceway, Swindell took the lead on the ninth round; following a restart after Alan Ambers and Jack Dover made hard contact in turns one and two. Ambers was taken to the hospital for observation, Dover was unharmed.

Slowed for the final time with six laps to run, Dobmeier stayed committed to the cushion with the battle side by side going into the final two laps, but giving Swindell too much room is all it took for the Big Game Tree Stands No. 1s to take the line and the win.

"We were running at a blistering pace at the front there but had those yellow flags to bunch us up. I think I still had a faster car. I was able to come around the top and show him, and I think I could have done it earlier, but wanted to wait until I had a spot where I could just get it, and keep it, but I showed him a little too soon and he took my line away," said Dobmeier of his attempts to take the lead in the closing laps.

Brian Brown came to third from eighth. Changing gears under the Lap 8 red, Brown was happy but felt he had a problem with tires on the restart. "It was really like my Right Rear Tire just didn't go after that red and when those guy started moving around out there and kinda showed Sammy where to go on the track, I just ended up running third so we'll figure it out and hopefully come back tomorrow and get a couple spots better."

Ian Madsen from ninth finished fourth with Bronson Maeschen slipping from the front row to complete the top five.

Terry McCarl came from fourteenth to sixth with Wayne Johnson following from fifteenth to seventh. Dusty Zomer was the night's Hard Charger from twentieth to eighth with Tasker Phillips ninth, and Sam Hafertepe, Jr. finishing tenth.

Friday night saw 56 drivers timing in for a weekend total of 103 drivers. Five Heat Races went Brian Brown, Bill Balog, Robbie Stillwaggon, Terry McCarl, and Wayne Johnson. The night's C-Feature was won by Chase Johnson. B-Feature victory went to Seth Brahmer.

Brian Brown was the night's quick time at 16.488 seconds. The Heat Race win along with a third in the A-Feature puts Brown as the high point driver going into Saturday with 496 points. Joe Beaver will join Brown on the front row with 491 points. Sammy Swindell with 478, Sam Hafertepe, Jr. with 477, and Tony Bruce, Jr. with 476 made up the top five point earners after two nights.

Finally! Brian Brown wins the Arnold Motor Supply Knoxville 360 Nationals! by Bryan Hulbert/Bill Wright

KNOXVILLE RACEWAY, Knoxville, IA, August 2, 2014 – A loud scream of satisfaction echoed across the grounds of the Knoxville Raceway as Brian Brown finally marked the Arnold Motor Supply 360 Knoxville Nationals off his bucket list in his fifteenth attempt at the $10,000 to win event.

Brown's fifteenth 360cid Sprint Car victory at the Knoxville Raceway, the FVP No. 21 led start-to-finish in the 25 lap championship event.

"Man this feels good. I'm just thankful for everybody on this team," said Brown. "I'm almost out of breath, but this one's pretty cool."

Asked about having to change his line through traffic, Brown replied, "The car felt good up there the whole feature. Believe or not, I didn't want to lap anybody. I just didn't want to get off it. That Impact Signs, Awnings, and Wraps Scoreboard was pretty handy. I saw where Sam [Hafertepe] got by Sammy [Swindell] but didn't know where he was running once he got up there but here we are."

Leading by over two seconds at the first caution on Lap 7 for Kevin Swindell, Brown opened up his advantage again as Joe Beaver and Sammy Swindell swapped the runner-up spot.

Slow again on Lap 9 for the spun No. 82 Bronson Maeschen, the restart saw Sam Hafertepe, Jr. taking third and going to work on Swindell for second. Taking the spot on Lap 11, Hafertepe was never able to make up the two second disadvantage and Brown streaked through lapped traffic for the win.

Bettering his 2011 finish of eleventh, Hafertepe felt good about his performance in the 360 Nationals, "We had an awesome car there but I really, would have liked a caution there at the end just to see if we could have done anything with him," said Hafertepe. "I don't think many people knew we were running the bottom of three and four and that's where we were really making up a lot of time. I just felt like if I could have had a shot at him....not sure I could have passed him....but would have liked the opportunity."

Sammy Swindell posted his second podium of the weekend with a third place finish; holding off Davey Heskin in the closing laps, who ended up losing an engine.

"Our car was just too tight for that curb out there," commented Swindell. "I messed up a couple times. One time I got the right-front wheel up over it and that really slowed me down so I ended up letting Sam get through there, and let Davey catch up so I just backed it down to where I could make consistent laps." Mark Dobmeier came from tenth to grab fourth with Tim Shaffer taking fifth after starting fourteenth.

Jason Johnson ran up as high as fourth but ended up crossing sixth. Joe Beaver slipped from the front row to finish seventh. Terry McCarl stormed from twentieth to eighth to earn the title of Hard Charger with Jonathan Cornell ninth. Danny Lasoski clawed from twenty-first to finish tenth.

The night's E-Feature was won by Tyler Drueke. D-Feature honors went to Johnny Herrera with Dustin Selvage taking the C-Feature win. Danny Lasoski took the win in the B-Feature. Jac Haudenschild moved through the most features in the Alphabet, coming from the E-Main to the C-Main where he finished fifteenth.

The highest finishing Rookie was Bill Balog who placed eleventh in the B-Feature.

Kline Grabs Second 305 Feature!

Rookie Devin Kline grabbed his second 305 feature of his career and the year here at the Knoxville Raceway. Corey Kautz got the feature off to a bumpy start after flipping in turn one when the green flag fell. He was uninjured.

Matthew Stelzer led Kevin Hetrick and Mike Mayberry early on in the 15-lap event. Stacey Alexander was on the move, however, moving into third on lap two and into the runner-up spot a circuit later.

By lap five, Alexander had ridden the cushion by Stelzer to take the lead. When Steve Breazeale spun on lap ten, Alexander led Stelzer, J Kinder, Kline and Kevin Hetrick.

Kline used the restart to his advantage, disposing of both Kinder and Stelzer to move into second. He would take the lead on lap twelve, and hold off Alexander on a lap 12 restart to win. The caution came for Stelzer, who went up in smoke.

Alexander followed Kline to the line. Kinder held the show position, ahead of Hetrick and Michael Philben. McKenna Haase, Breazeale, Jeff Wilke, Keoni Texeira and Kade Higday rounded out the top ten. Kline set quick time on the night, while Kinder, Mayberry and Texeira claimed heat races.

“These last two weeks, after winning the first one…it’s been a dream,” said Kline in Victory Lane. “It’s just awesome. This win is for my uncle Todd, who passed away a couple months ago. Tonight is his birthday. I was just going to go where they weren’t. The car was perfect. The guys did great with it. I have the easy job.”

Join us tomorrow night, August 3, for the 3rd Annual Capitani Classic here at the Knoxville Raceway! For more information, visit www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com!

Ian Madsen Victorious in 3rd Annual Capitani Classic at Knoxville! by Bryan Hulbert/Bill Wright

KNOXVILLE RACEWAY, Knoxville, IA, August 3, 2014 – The third annual Capitani Classic found its third winner, and first from Australia as Ian Madsen led start-to-finish for his sixth win of the season, and fifth overall at the Knoxville Raceway.

Rolling from the pole, Madsen had to reclaim an early Justin Henderson lead and outrun his brother, Kerry Madsen. Asked about starting on the pole, Madsen replied, "I never imagined it in this world. I was so angry after qualifying; I thought we had messed up a good chance at having a really good night. I couldn't believe it when I found out I was on the front row."

Henderson grabbed the early lead for a moment entering the third turn. Giving just enough room to maneuver, Ian Madsen stuck the cushion to squeeze between Henderson and the wall exiting turn four.

Finding slower traffic by the tenth round, Madsen held a constant half straight-a-way lead as the race from second through fifth was anyone's game. Battling with Justin Henderson and Kerry Madsen for several laps, Davey Heskin's car seemed to get better with time as the No. 56 found second on Lap 12. Still battling around with Kevin Swindell and Brian Brown joining the mix, the group began running down Ian Madsen who worked into heavier slower traffic before the caution flew with five laps to run as Kevin Swindell slapped the wall in turn two; ending the defending champions bid for three consecutive podium finishes.

Working into third before the caution, Brian Brown shot to the runner spot on the restart. Taking off after Madsen, the opportunity would never present itself as Ian Madsen ran to his first Capitani Classic victory.

Brian Brown from eighth was second with Kerry Madsen coming back to third after falling as far back as sixth. Davey Heskin ended up fourth with Justin Henderson making up the top five. Brad Sweet, Danny Lasoski, Daryn Pittman, hard-charger Shane Stewart and Jason Johnson rounded out the top ten. Bronson Maeschen, who won the inaugural Capitani Classic placed eleventh.

Randy Hannagan set quick time over the 71-car field, and grabbed the first of two B mains. Heskin, Paul McMahan, Henderson, Lynton Jeffrey, Tony Bruce Jr. and Jason Johnson won the heats. Craig Dollansky won the second B main.

Ian Madsen’s second win in a row in Knoxville Championship Cup Series action has him 88 points ahead of Henderson, 104 points in front of Terry McCarl and 114 points ahead of Brian Brown heading into the August 23 Season Championship Night here.

The Knoxville Raceway lights up next for the 54th running of the FVP Knoxville Nationals presented by Casey's General Store. Donny Schatz is the defending champion of the event, and carries a dozen wins on the season into the $150,000 to win event. Qualifying kicks off Wednesday, August 6 with the championship event on Saturday, August 9. For updates, and information, log onto http://www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com.

Brown Continues Sprintweek Dominance on Night one of Knoxville Nationals! by Bryan Hulbert/Bill Wright

KNOXVILLE RACEWAY, Knoxville, IA, August 7, 2014 – After rains washed out Wednesday night at the Knoxville Raceway, the skies finally gave a sigh of relief as Thursday's Lucas Oil Qualifying Night opened up the 54th running of the FVP Knoxville Nationals presented by Casey's General Store with Brian Brown scoring his third victory of the week during Southern Iowa Sprintweek.

In Victory Lane, Brown explained that he was running out of tear-offs and was signaling to his crew on a Lap 19 red, "Their answer was let's just get the lead, and not worry about the tear-offs."

Going after Sam Hafertepe, Jr. for the lead on the restart, Brown had to re-think his approach after nearly making contact with the Lone Star Speedway No. 15h, "I guess I'm getting a little bit smarter in my old age," joked Brown.

"The car was pretty good, we weren't great...probably not as good as we've been...but we were able to maneuver there on that restart. I got a good run on Sam [Hafertepe] and was going to try and slide him, and thought why not try and stick it, and I did, but then he kind of chopped me so I rolled out of it and said well--I guess I'll just run second-- but then I got a pretty good run and stuck it there on the bottom."

Gridding the FVP / Casey's General Store No. 21 fifth, Brown began working through a torrid battle from second through fifth. Moving to third on Lap 16, Brown gave chase as Sam Hafertepe, Jr. worked on running down Jeff Swindell for the lead.

Setting a blistering pace through slower traffic, Sam Hafertepe, Jr. grabbed the lead on Lap 14 with Brown working past Swindell for second five laps later.

Rolling to the red on Lap 19 for the No. 71 of Kevin Swindell, Brown worked low on Hafertepe on Lap 20, but would have to wait until the following revolution to grab the point for his twenty-ninth Knoxville Raceway triumph; putting the No. 21 second in the week's standings with 485 points.

Sam Hafertepe, Jr. posted a runner-up finish to put himself fifth in the overall standings going into Saturday night with 457 points. "You never want to see a yellow flag with the No. 21 behind you for sure," said Hafertepe of the restart with six laps to go. "We were getting through traffic really awesome, and felt like we were really gapping ourselves just hitting the bottom really good, and on the restart, I just said...You know what...I'm just going to make these guys drive underneath me. It was pretty hard to hit down there, and if anyone could hit it, it's Brown, and thought we were going to have enough momentum to make him stay on the outside and maybe hold him off. I chopped him one time, and thought about chopping him again, but he had such a good run coming off the bottom; I didn't want to lose a couple more spots."

Kerry Madsen posted his best preliminary night finish to complete the night's podium; getting around Jeff Swindell on the restart as the No. 94 began slowing in the closing laps. Madsen's third place finish effectively positioned the No. 29 atop the points with 491.

"We got great points, and should have a fairly good starting position on Saturday night. We just had a great night," commented Madsen. "We're having a little fun, not really taking anything too serious, and just enjoy having a good night"

Terry McCarl from sixth gabbed fourth with Bryan Clauson slipping to round out the top-five.

Paul McMahan was sixth with Jason Johnson seventh from thirteenth. Joey Saldana from the night's B-Feature came from twenty-second to eighth as the night's Hard Charger. Clint Garner and Jon Agan completed the top-ten.

Thursday night saw 52 drivers drawing in to take time. Paul McMahan set the fast time at 14.633 seconds. Five Heat Races went to Bill Balog, Jon Agan, Jack Dover, Ian Madsen, and Kevin Swindell. C-Feature action was won by Dustin Selvage with the B-Feature topped by Cody Darrah.

Kerry Madsen leads the points with 491 markers. Brian Brown with 485, Paul McMahan at 484, Terry McCarl with 481, and Sam Hafertepe, Jr. at 457 make the top-five point getters after the first night of competition.

Shane Stewart Edges Kraig Kinser for Knoxville Prelim Victory! by Bryan Hulbert/Bill Wright

KNOXVILLE RACEWAY, Knoxville, IA, August 8, 2014 – The long wait by fans for the races originally scheduled for Wednesday night was well worth it as Shane Stewart worked past Kraig Kinser on the final lap to claim the Racingjunk.com Qualifying Night victory on Friday night of the 54th running of the FVP Knoxville Nationals presented by Casey's General Stores.

"Man, my car was just so good from the get-go," said Stewart of his Larson/Marks No. 2. "These races are pretty short, so you can't really bide your time like you do on Saturday; especially with Dollansky, and of course the No. 15. Everyone knows how darn good he is here."

Pocketing $12,000, the win counts as Stewart's sixth Knoxville Raceway triumph.

Taking the lead from the Mesilla Valley Transportation No. 11k on the white flag lap by 0.005 seconds, Shane opened his advantage to 0.750 seconds at the checkered flag.

"I honestly didn't think he was going to leave the bottom open for me like that. He ran a great race, and sometimes when you're leading, it's just hard to know where to go," said Stewart. "My car, once I got to the bottom, stuck really well so I just can't thank my guys enough."

Working into the top five on the opening lap, Stewart gave chase as Mark Dobmeier and Kraig Kinser battled for the lead with the No. 13 leading the first two rounds before giving up the point to Kinser with a low-line pass exiting turn-four as the caution waved.

Underway, leaders hit slower traffic by the tenth round with Kinser holding just under a second advantage as the race from second through fourth came into focus with Stewart having to hold off Donny Schatz for third before the caution waved on Lap 12 for Jac Haudenschild.

Trying for second, Stewart was quickly joined by Schatz to make it a three way race for the runner up spot. Distancing away from the STP No. 15, the race for second was close as Stewart and Dobmeier banged wheels with the No. 2 taking the runner-up spot.

Slowing on Lap 22 for Joshua Hodges, Shane Stewart was completely focused on Kinser at the green.

Coming to the tip of the green, Stewart swung high into turns one and two. Even for a moment, Kinser powered back to the lead, moving up the track entering three as Stewart seized the chance and stuck the berm to grab the win.

"We have some great points, and I hope I have a better finish than last year," said Stewart. Asked about the track, Shane replied, "The track stayed pretty good all night. I don't really see it being this good on Saturday, but if you were patient enough, you could run the bottom with a little bit of speed; and if it was free enough. It had to be free to run all the way around."

Kraig Kinser's runner-up finish put the MVT No. 41 ninth in Saturday's A-Feature.

"I knew the laps were counting down. I didn't know it was actually down to three until after the yellow fell," commented Kinser when asked about the final restart. "When I got into lapped traffic, I was rolling pretty good around them, but I just got a little free in the last handful of laps. I just made a bad choice going down the back straight-a-way and thought I heard Shane coming on the top and just didn't really know where to run because the car felt good everywhere."

After battling for the lead early on, Mark Dobmeier completed the podium; having to hold off Schatz in the closing laps, "You know I hear he's pretty good here and that last yellow kind of saved us. He actually got underneath us, but the yellow came out and we got out spot back. We were running hard the entire race, I just gave up the bottom too quick, and Kraig took it over and then I stayed on the top too long, but overall it's a great run for our team."

Donny Schatz crossed fourth from seventh with David Gravel slipping back one for fifth.

Craig Dollansky was sixth with Justin Henderson seventh. Brooke Tatnell came to eighth from twelfth with Lee Jacobs ninth. Danny Dietrich came from thirteenth to make up the top-ten.

After two qualifying nights, Donny Schatz has earned the pole in Saturday's A-Feature with 492 points. Shane Stewart will start second with 491 points. Kerry Madsen tied but with Stewart's win, Madsen will start third with Brian Brown fourth at 485 and Paul McMahan fifth at 484 points.

Saturday will begin with the qualifier originally slated for Friday night with Hot Laps beginning at 11:00 A.M. (CT).

Engine Woes Can’t Stop Danny Lasoski at Knoxville! by Bryan Hulbert/Bill Wright

KNOXVILLE RACEWAY, Knoxville, IA, August 9, 2014 – The Friday Non-Qualifier program finally found its way to the Knoxville Raceway on Saturday afternoon with 48 drivers checking in and Danny Lasoski earning his 101st victory at the famed half-mile.

Suffering engine problems after taking the checkered flag in his Heat Race, the crew for the No. 33 was able to complete repairs to get Lasoski out for the A-Feature, where "The Dude" gridded the field seventh.

"It's a credit to my whole team. Mark Burch leads my team with Cody and Asa and I'm thankful for Paul Kistler for coming over and getting that thing fixed up. That just goes to show, this team never quits," commented Lasoski about overcoming a potential early ending to the 54th FVP Knoxville Nationals presented by Casey's General Store.

Moving to third on Lap 6, Lasoski watched as Jack Dover and Steve Kinser traded the top spot. Moving to slower traffic by the sixth round, the top three tightened with the chance for the lead coming on Lap 11. Moving off Turn 2, Lasoski found Dover and Kinser held up by back markers. Taking his familiar low line, Lasoski picked off the pair for the race lead exiting the fourth turn; opening his advantage to a staggering 8.568 seconds at the checkered flag.

Jack Dover had slipped to third, but was able to take second coming to the checkered flag as Jac Haudenschild saw his engine expire in a cloud of smoke.

Commenting on the pass by Lasoski, Dover revealed that he too had problems under the bonnet of the No. 53, "Danny's always good on the bottom. Before the race, I saw him trying to pack the bottom so I figured he'd be there. My car was pretty good anywhere I wanted to go, then there at the end it started overheating, and we lost a little power."

Despite the chokingly thick cloud of smoke from the No. 9w, Haudenschild was able to coast across the line for third, "We lost the motor right there at the end, so that's bad news, but we were a little better there in that feature so hopefully we'll get better in the next one."

After contact with the wall in the mid-point of the race, Steve Kinser was able to hold on for fourth with Seth Brahmer taking fifth.

Tony Bruce, Jr. crossed sixth with Chad Kemenah seventh from eleventh. Brandon Wimmer crossed eighth with Danny Holtgraver ninth. Dusty Zomer moved up two to complete the top-ten and become the last car to lock himself into tonight’s C main. The remainder of the competitor will line up according to their finishes in tonight’s E and D mains.

Daryn Pittman Pockets $10,000 in Speed Sport World Challenge! by Bryan Hulbert/Bill Wright

KNOXVILLE RACEWAY, Knoxville, IA, August 9, 2014 – For the third time, Daryn Pittman found Victory Lane in the Speed Sport World Challenge with a late race pass on Tim Kaeding.

Coming from sixth, Pittman wasted little time getting to the runner-up spot. Chasing Tim Kaeding into traffic, Pittman closed the gap but would nearly see his afternoon end on Lap 7 with a slip exiting Turn 2 that nearly sent the Great Clips No. 9 into the wall. A quick recovery and Pittman was back in the mix as rubber came into play on the Knoxville surface.

"I'm just glad I didn't stuff it into the back straight-a-way fence. The track was tricky, and the sun came out just enough there with that long break that the track just cleaned off a laid rubber," said Pittman. "Hats off to the track crew. They had their work cut out for them all week with the weather, and to have a day show and not lay rubber until the last race; the whole program was a great race." Tim Kaeding's runner-up finish was enough to guarantee the California driver a starting spot in Saturday's championship A-Feature.

Informed of his twenty-fifth starting spot, Kaeding reply was simply, "Nothing wrong with that....We snuck into the Kings Royal, we just snuck our way into the Nationals, and couldn't be happier."

Brad Sweet completed the podium in the Speed Sport World Challenge.

"Our car was pretty good there. We didn't get locked in but we gave "TK" a run for his money at the end," Said Sweet. "We sure tried hard and the guys have made a lot of improvements so we'll start mid-pack in the "B" this afternoon."

Ian Madsen had his hands full holding onto fourth as Donny Schatz stalked the No. 55 in the closing laps. The defending FVP Knoxville Nationals Champion made up the top-five.

Terry McCarl was sixth, Brooke Tatnell seventh, David Gravel eighth, Paul McMahan ninth, and Dale Blaney tenth.

The finale of the 54th running of the FVP Knoxville Nationals presented by Casey's General Store will be Saturday, August 9 with action kicking off at 7:15 P.M. (CT). For complete news, updates, and information log onto http://www.knoxvilleraceway.com.

Donny Schatz Nearly Perfect in Eighth Knoxville Nationals Title! by Bryan Hulbert/Bill Wright

KNOXVILLE RACEWAY, Knoxville, IA, August 9, 2014 – For the eighth time, Donny Schatz leaves the Knoxville Raceway with the title of "Champion", taking the $150,000 win in the 54th annual FVP Knoxville Nationals presented by Casey's General Stores.

Taking off from the pole, Schatz led Shane Stewart into the first turns. Slowing on Lap 3, Brian Brown took advantage of the restart to begin his chase for second. Searching the racing surface, Brown took the runner-up spot on Lap 12.

Leading by 2.874 seconds at the Lap 25 break for fuel, the restart saw Schatz stalked by Brown as the green flew. Working the cushion, Brown kept pace, finally taking his shot at the lead on Lap 44. Taking the lead with a high-side pass exiting the second turn; Brown brought the entire crowd of the Knoxville Raceway to their feet with resounding cheers that quickly drowned out the sounds of engines.

Pulling to the bottom groove in turns three and four, Brown swapped his line the following lap, giving Schatz the chance to shoot the berm and retake the lead on Lap 45.

Asked about seeing Brown drive by him, Schatz replied, "Racing is all about making decisions, and I was just getting so slow around the bottom of one and two, I thought well; I could just keep the tires under me maybe no one's going to get that run. I just couldn't get the top going that well then it cleaned off and Brian [Brown] got by...went to the bottom...I tried to stay with him, and when he went to the top at the other end, I was able to get back by him. I know he's going to beat me one of these days. I hope it's no time soon, but he's a hell of a racer."

Finishing runner-up for the third consecutive year, Brown crossed 1.243 seconds behind the STP No. 15.

"I figured I had to go when I could. I kind of rode along as long as I could there and made my move," said Brown. "Once I made my move, I took his line away in the corner and thought okay, that was pretty good but I didn't want to go down there and miss it and went back to the top and gave him another shot but I'll tell you what, at least this year, we kept him honest."

Kerry Madsen took the podium in his eighth A-Feature appearance, posting his best finish in the FVP Knoxville Nationals, "We tried to get the top to work early, but I couldn't do it. The bottom was too good. We were coming there at the end, and when Brian passed Donny I thought, oh well good, then they started battling and started catching them and thought, I got half a shot at this, but then I started screwing up on the cushion and bouncing all over the place like everyone else was, but man, what a great run for us."

Craig Dollansky grabbed the fourth spot with Justin Henderson taking fifth after starting eighth.

Paul McMahan was sixth Terry McCarl seventh. Mark Dobmeier eighth, Joey Saldana ninth, and Kraig Kinser tenth. Brad Sweet was the night's Hard Charger from twenty-third to thirteenth. Brian Brown's runner up finish clenched the Mr. Sprint Car Title.

Jimmy Light grabbed the win in the E-Feature. D-Feature honors went to Brad Loyet. The night's C-Feature was won by Dale Blaney after a very rough start that saw 11 drivers receiving damage. Thankfully, all drivers were unharmed. The night's B-Feature was won by Brooke Tatnell with Clint Garner making his first A-Feature in the FVP Knoxville Nationals. Brad Sweet from eleventh was third with Lee Jacobs taking the final transfer to the A- Feature.

Rookie of the Year honors went to Andy Gregg. Best Appearing Crew went to Wayne Johnson Racing and Best Appearing Car was given to the No. 1d driven by Justin Henderson.

Brown’s second place finish clinched the Jesse Hockett “Mr. Sprint Car Title”, and cemented his strong run during Cox Design

Three Winners, Three Champions at Knoxville! by Bill Wright

KNOXVILLE RACEWAY, Knoxville, IA, August 23, 2014 – In the end, the point leaders in each division held off the rest of the field, but it wasn’t easy. Ian Madsen drove to a strong fourth place finish in the 410 A main won by Mark Dobmeier to take that championship. Joe Beaver won the 360 driver title with a sixth place finish in a race won by Matt Moro. The BDS Motorsports #1 team claimed the 360 owner’s title. J Kinder needed a motor borrowed from the L&J Automotive #5J team to charge from 19th to fifth to claim the 305 championship. Dustin Clark won that feature.

In the 410 25-lap feature, Brian Brown shot out from the pole ahead of Dobmeier and Brooke Tatnell early on. On lap three, Tatnell got sideways in turn four, and Madsen made the move of the race evading him. Tatnell also recovered.

Brown sliced through traffic as the first nineteen laps went nonstop. Terry McCarl moved into third on lap four as the lead trio pulled away. With nineteen laps in the books, Bronson Maeschen got upside down on the frontstretch. When Glen Saville slowed to avoid him, Brown clipped him, causing front-end damage to his #21.

Dobmeier assumed the lead with McCarl in pursuit. Madsen was passed by Dusty Zomer for third, but held onto fourth with a left wing side panel collapse. He was followed by Craig Dollansky. Justin Henderson, Brown, Tatnell, Davey Heskin and Lynton Jeffrey rounded out the top ten.

Henderson set quick time on the night, and Danny Lasoski, Tasker Phillips and Maeschen won heats. Cole Wood flipped in his heat race, but was unhurt.

“It was a great racetrack,” said Dobmeier, who celebrated his thirteenth win here in Victory Lane. “There was a bottom, a top, and you could cut through the middle too. My hat’s off to the track prep guys. I was following Brian there in lapped traffic, and it’s too bad the red came out, because I think I was just getting in position and he was behind some cars. It was unfortunate he got into the wreck, but I will take the win any way I can get it.”

“It’s just unbelievable,” said Madsen of his championship shared with the Bret Nehring #18 team. “I’m just speechless right now. I haven’t taken a breath all night. It will be nice to take a breath and celebrate with the team. I can’t believe we pulled it off. I have to thank Bret Nehring, Matt Barbara, the whole crew and our partners.”

Before a lap could be completed in the 20-lap 360 feature, Russ Hall and Alan Ambers contacted, sending the latter upside down. Hall also suffered too much damage to continue. Matt Moro shot out to the lead from outside of row one, ahead of Tasker Phillips and Dylan Peterson. Four laps were in the books before Sawyer Phillips flipped on the backstretch. He was uninjured.

When the green flew again, Moro led Tasker Phillips, Peterson, Nate Van Haaften and Carson McCarl. McCarl used a slingshot move under Van Haaften and Peterson to grab third on the restart, while Billy Alley moved into fourth behind him.

Moro was steady out front and captured his eighth career 360 win ahead of Tasker Phillips, McCarl, Alley and Van Haaften. Joe Beaver came home sixth and won his first 360 title, and Peterson, Tony Shilling, Jon Agan and Jarrod Schneiderman rounded out the top ten. Henderson also set quick time in the 360 class, clinching the owner title for the BDS Motorsports #1 team. Shilling, Cody Ledger and Agan won heat races.

“We’ve had a terrible, terrible year,” said Moro in Victory Lane. “The car has been fast, but we’ve had stupid stuff going wrong. We’ve had new parts breaking. Everyone works really hard on this thing. I like lapped traffic. I feel like I’m on my game.”

“I didn’t want to leave any doubt on who the champion was this year,” said Beaver of his championship. “I knew enough cars dropped out that we had a good shot at it, so I went for it. The car was super-tight. We battled it the whole way. This feels great! We were consistent. Once we got the car figured out to go with the motor (Moyle supplied by Don Long). Once we got our qualifying down, we were able to move up in the points.” Dustin Clark led lap one from his pole position, but it was Kevin Hetrick who took command of the 15-lap 305 feature early on. When Terri O’Connell slowed with three laps in the books, Hetrick led Clark, Mitchell Alexander, Mike Mayberry and Steve Breazeale.

J Kinder’s point lead over Breazeale was tenuous heading in, but he put on a charge in his borrowed power plant, and was already 12th (from 19th) by the third lap. After another caution for debris a lap later, the rest of the event went non-stop.

Kinder was ninth by lap six, and Stacey Alexander moved by Mitchell Alexander for third on lap seven. Clark found his way by Hetrick on lap nine, while Stacey Alexander followed him into second on lap eleven.

Clark would have to hold off Stacey Alexander on the last lap to grab his first ever Knoxville victory. Hetrick was third, followed by Mitchell Alexander and Kinder, who grabbed fifth on lap 13. Breazeale, Mayberry, Jeff Wilke, McKenna Haase and Mike Philben rounded out the top ten. Kinder posted quick time before losing his motor. Philben, Haase and Stacey Alexander were heat race winners.

“(Stacey Alexander) was all over me, wasn’t he?” said Clark in Victory Lane. “I could smell him. Man, we worked so hard to get here tonight. A lot of the crew couldn’t make it here tonight…my Dad and my best friend Pat made it happen. I can’t believe it!”

“I have to thank the Ball crew,” said Kinder of the L&J Automotive #5J team who lent him a motor. “I have to thank all the crews helping me. This motor ran great. We have to figure out what we’re going to do. This feels great! I can’t thank everyone enough. I’m in shock right now.”

Darin Van Dee Claims 29th Annual Fall Enduro at Knoxville! by Bill Wright

KNOXVILLE RACEWAY, Knoxville, IA, August 24, 2014 – Darin Van Dee of Deep River took the 29th annual Fall Enduro at Knoxville Raceway Sunday night. In a race that went the full 200 laps, the win paid him $1,000 for his efforts. Van Dee inherited the lead when defending champion, Mike Goff, made a stop in the pits to change a right rear tire at about the 170 lap mark. Goff returned to finish second on the lead lap and earn $700. Troy DeJong of Bussey finished third worth $500.

Seven red flag periods were encountered along the way for various reasons such as debris on the track as well for removal of stalled cars which were in a dangerous position.

9/25 “Superman” Jonathan Davenport Claims First Career Win at Knoxville! by Bill Wright

KNOXVILLE RACEWAY, Knoxville, IA, September 25, 2014 – “Superman” Jonathan Davenport of Mount Airy, North Carolina picked up his first career feature at the famed Knoxville Raceway on Thursday night on night one of the 11th Annual Lucas Oil Late Model Nationals presented by Casey’s General Stores. Davenport led the entire 25-lap distance, and pocketed $7,000 for his victory.

Davenport led at the outset with Brian Birkhofer and Kent Robinson in tow. By lap six, defending Late Model Nationals champion, Darrell Lanigan was in third. The only slowdown of the event came with eight laps complete when debris on the track brought a caution.

Davenport led Birkhofer, Lanigan, Robinson and Earl Pearson Jr. back to green. A lap later, Lanigan shot around Birkhofer for the runner-up position, but could never mount a serious challenge to Davenport.

Davenport’s win came over Lanigan, Birkhofer, Pearson and hard-charger, Brandon Sheppard, who came from the 22nd starting spot to fifth. Robinson, Scott Bloomquist, Eddie Carrier Jr., Frank Heckenast Jr. and Tim McCreadie rounded out the top ten.

Dale McDowell and Carrier set quick time in their respective groups, while Brady Smith, John Blankenship, Brandon Overton, Davenport, Mike Marlar and Rick Eckert won heat races. Chris Simpson won the D main, while Terry Phillips captured the C. Chad Simpson won the B main.

Davenport and Lanigan tied for the point lead after night one with 488 points, followed by Earl Pearson Jr., Birkhofer, Carrier, Robinson, McDowell, Bloomquist, Heckenast and Steve Francis.

“It’s really big for me and the team,” said Davenport in Victory Lane. “I had a little bit of problems with the car, but got them figured out. We’ve definitely had some hard luck lately. You definitely don’t want anything to go wrong in these big races. Those lapped cars are tough. You just lose so much air on the nose.”

“To come out and run second here…it’s definitely an awesome place,” said Lanigan. “You always think you’ve got something (for the leader). You’re going to try something. He was good on top, and we’ll see what we can do with 100 laps.”

“It’s a podium and a decent paycheck,” said Birkhofer. “This gives us something to work with. Last year was terrible. It’s great, because I already have a couple things in my head for Saturday. We wanted to get the best finish we could, and that way we could concentrate on getting better tomorrow.”

Brian Birkhofer Puts Himself on the Pole With Late Model Nationals Prelim Win! by Bill Wright

KNOXVILLE RACEWAY, Knoxville, IA, September 26, 2014 – Brian Birkhofer put himself on the pole for Saturday night’s championship at the 11th Annual Lucas Oil Late Model Nationals presented by Casey’s General Stores. The Muscatine, Iowa native won his sixth career feature at the famous half-mile and accumulated 489 points, putting him up front for the $40,000 to win event.

Rodney Sanders led Shannon Babb and Birkhofer on the first circuit of the 25-lap feature. Birkhofer quickly moved into second as the leaders settled in. Steve Francis used the low side to dive under Babb for third on lap six.

At the ten lap mark, Sanders rode the high side ahead of a low groove running Birkhofer. Billy Moyer entered the chase for the podium and was in a spirited battle with Francis for third. As Sanders entered heavy lapped traffic, Birkhofer found his way to the point on lap 14. Sanders strong run took a turn for the worse when he jumped the turn one berm, allowing Francis by for second on lap 19. In one shot on lap 20, Moyer blew by Sanders and Francis into second.

Moyer reeled in Birkhofer, but couldn’t do anything with him, as he settled for second. Francis was third, ahead of Brandon Sheppard and Sanders. Scott Bloomquist, Dale McDowell, Babb, Frank Heckenast Jr. and Jonathan Davenport rounded out the top ten.

Darrell Lanigan and McDowell set quick time in their respective groups. Sheppard, Brian Shirley, Francis, Heckenast, Davenport and Sanders won heat races. Denny Eckrich won the D, Ray Guss Jr. took the C, and Lanigan claimed the B.

Birkhofer will start on the pole Saturday night, flanked by Lanigan. Davenport and Earl Pearson Jr. will comprise row two.

Join us Saturday night, September 27 for the finale of the Lucas Oil Late Model Nationals presented by Casey’s General Stores. For more information, log on to www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com!

Birkhofer Takes Knoxville Late Model Nationals on Final Turn and Takes Final Bow! by Bob Wilson

KNOXVILLE RACEWAY, Knoxville, IA, September 27, 2014 – The Iowa boy, Brian Burkhofer, made a final lap pass of leader Scott Bloomquist to capture the 11th annual Lucas Oil Late Model Knoxville Nationals. The winning pass came as those two front runners roared out of turn four heading toward the checkered flags. Birkhofer who had won the very first event in 2004 flew out of the turn passing Bloomquist and heading under the flag stand to win the $40,000 event.

Bloomquist, who had led from lap 62 finished second and slowed his machine to a stop in turn two. At the victory stand ceremonies he said that the rear end and drive shaft had broken as he went into turn three on that final lap. He was paid $20,000 for his efforts. Bloomquist captured wins in 2005 & 2009. As Birkhofer exited his car in victory lane he kissed the roof of it for good measure. All week the rumor of his retirement filtered through this historical fairgrounds. He confirmed at victory lane that he would indeed take a year away from racing, a somewhat shocking announcement.

“I found a line in one and two and in three and four I thought I was gonna flip,” Birkhofer told the huge crowd about the final lap. “I think he (Bloomquist) was getting tight and I could get through one and two. I lifted for a split second through three and four.”

The final yellow on lap 86 saw Bloomquist in front with Birkhofer on the outside and Mike Marlar on the inside. Marlar had started 23rd at the beginning of this 100 lap race and was arguably the fastest car on the track prior to the caution flag.

“Marlar lined up behind me and I knew I had to take off,” Birkhofer explained. And he did but he could not keep pace at first with the Bloomquist machine. With no traffic in the way Birkhofer fell back slightly and initially fought with Marlar as Bloomquist pulled away. It was that final lap that saw “Birky” push his car to the limit as Bloomquist began to lose his powerful edge.

Birkhofer led this race through the first 30 laps from his pole position. A pesky Darrell Lanigan, the defending champion, finally took the top spot on the 31st go-around after starting alongside Birkhofer. At this point Bloomquist was right there with those front runners and trailing was Dale McDowell and Jimmy Mars from 18th. Ten laps later Birkhofer recaptured the lead which he held until the lap 62 Bloomquist seizure of it.

Marlar came across the stripe to take third ($10,000) and Mars was fourth ($8,750). Topping those drives was that of Don O’Neal who started 31st and finished fifth ($7,500). Rounding out the top ten were Steve Francis, Frankie Heckenast Jr., Chase Junghans (from 27th) and Chad Simpson (from 21st). A total of thirty-four cars started the event.

In other racing events, Ryan Gustin led the 12-lap D Main from start to finish but after transferring to the C Main he blew a right rear tire having charged through the pack by the half-way point. That C feature was won by Billy Moyer Jr. as he took charge from the get-go of the 15 lap event. An exciting B main saw Wendell Wallace take top honors but he was pressed throughout the 20 lap event by Jason Feger and Rick Eckert. Feger lost an engine towards the end as Chase Junghans came on strong in the final laps. Denny Eckrich came from an eighteenth position start to place sixth (and transfer to the championship feature) at final tally much to the delight of the Iowa fans in attendance.
