Brian Brown (8th car out to time) set quick time at 15.021 seconds on a heavy surface. Bronson Maeschen (7th car out) was second quick, followed by Johnny Herrera (10th), Ian Madsen (13th), Davey Heskin (2nd), Don Droud Jr. (19th), Robby Wolfgang (12th), Seth Brahmer (18th), Dusty Zomer (1st) and Josh Schneiderman (14th). Mark Dobmeier underwent a motor change before time trials.
Heat one (started): 1. Austin McCarl 17A (2) 2. Brown 21 (6) 3. Madsen 55 (5) 4. Wolfgang 7K (4) 5. Schneiderman 49 (3) 6. Mike Deavers 72 (7) 7. Austin Johnson 81 (1)
McCarl led wire to wire in the 8-lapper. The top five finishers in the heats gained their time spot back. Brown used an early move to cruise to second as Madsen followed him by Wolfgang.
Heat two (started): 1. Mike Reinke 02 (2) 2. Mike Moore 69 (1) 3. Brahmer 13v (4) 4. Lynton Jeffrey 12 (3) 5. Heskin 56 (5) 6. Skip Jackson 2 (7) 7. Maeschen 1 (6)
Reinke led flag to flag. Heskin and Maeschen had a good battle early for fifth, before Heskin put himself in the spot for good.
Heat three (started): 1. Zomer 91 (4) 2. Herrera 2w (6) 3. Rager Phillips 10 (2) 4. Mark Dobmeier 13 (3) 5. Droud Jr. 47 (5) 6. Joey Moughan 21x (1) 7. Bob Weuve 19 (7)
Zomer led throughout. Herrera put on a nice charge.
A main (started): 1. Zomer (1) 2. Herrera (7) 3. Wolfgang (3) 4. Schneiderman (9) 5. McCarl (12) 6. Maeschen (16) 7. Droud Jr. (4) 8. Heskin (5) 9. Jackson (20) 10. Reinke (13) 11. Jeffrey (10) 12. Dobmeier (11) 13. Deavers (19) 14. Madsen (6) 15. Moore (15) 16. Johnson (17) 17. Weuve (21) 18. Brahmer (2) 19. Brown (8) 20. Phillips (14) 21. Moughan (18)
The initial try at green for the 20-lapper saw carnage. Brahmer had a left top wing side panel come off and he spun in the middle of one and two. Brown could not avoid him, and struck him head-on. Both were done, as well as Phillips and Moughan who were caught up in it too. Dobmeier made repairs to his machine and restarted at the tail, while Weuve made a few laps and pulled in. Zomer shot out to an early lead and left the rest in the dust. By the halfway point, he had a 1/4 of a lap lead over Wolfgang and Herrera. Herrera took second, but was a 1/2 lap behind the leader when Jeffrey spun on the backstretch on lap 16. A late yellow resulted in Johnson striking Jeffrey and getting upside down. Moore also sustained damage and was done. No one was hurt. Madsen had been running fourth, but it was obvious he had a smoking bullet and his time was limited. He retired on lap 18. McCarl had had a pass on Droud negated by the red, but repeated the move to nail down a top five behind Schneiderman. Zomer had no peer on the restart and claimed his fourth career 410 win worth $3,000 for car owner Derek Ingalls, who was making his first appearance of the year. Jackson was the hard-charger.
360s
Ryan Roberts set quick time in group qualifying with a lap of 16.058 seconds. Chad Humston was second quick, followed by Johnny Anderson, Josh Higday, Jamie Ball, Rager Phillips, Dustin Selvage, Clint Garner, Jon Agan and Dennis Moore Jr. Matt Moro failed to get a time in.
Heat one (started): 1. RJ Johnson 71 (2) 2. Selvage 7 (4) 3. Jesse Giannetto 10 (1) 4. Higday 2 (5) 5. Joe Beaver 53 (7) / 6. Roberts 18 (6) 7. Matt Moro 2m (9) 8. Alan Zoutte 33 (8) 9. Moore Jr. D12 (3)
Johnson led early before Moore Jr. came to a stop on lap three. Johnson led Selvage, Giannetto, Higday and Beaver back to green. The yellow canceled a pass attempt from Roberts for the fifth and final transfer spot in the 7-lapper.
Heat two (started): 1. Humston 1m (6) 2. Danny Heskin 6 (1) 3. Garner 40 (4) 4. Jarrod Schneiderman 88 (2) 5. Bryan Dobesh 54 (3) / 6. Ball 5J (5) 7. Chad Heimbaugh 04 (7) 8. Ricky Montgomery 02s (8)
Heskin led lap one, but Humston was a rocket ship and took the point on the second go-around. He pulled away until Montgomery went up in smoke and limped to the back pit entrance on lap five. Humston led Heskin, Schneiderman, Garner and Ball who had taken the last transfer from Dobesh. Garner shot around Schneiderman and Dobesh did the same to Ball to take fifth. Heimbaugh got into the infield fence after contact with Ball coming for the white flag, and kept it going.
Heat three (started): 1. Dave Hall 51 (1) 2. Nate Van Haaften 3 (2) 3. Agan 4 (4) 4. Jason Tostenson 1HD (7) 5. Rager Phillips 7TAZ (5) / 6. Tony Shilling 47T (3) 7. Anderson 7a (6) DNS - Russ Hall 45c
Anderson was sent to the back for jumping. D. Hall led throughout. Tostenson had a good jump into a transfer spot early. Phillips and Shilling dueled for the final transfer.
B main (started): 1. Shilling (5) 2. Roberts (1) 3. Moore Jr. (4) 4. Moro (8) 5. Ball (3) / 6. Heimbaugh (6) 7. Zoutte (7) 8. Anderson (2) DNS - Montgomery, R. Hall
Things were slow to start, as Roberts was sent back two rows for jumping. Anderson grabbed the early lead with Shilling in tow in the 10-lapper. Anderson's car lost power on lap seven, and Shilling assumed the lead, ahead of Moore Jr., Roberts, Moro and Ball. Roberts continued his moves to second, while Heimbaugh made a late bid for the final transfer, but came up short.
A main (started): 1. Agan (3) 2. Garner (4) 3. Giannetto (11) 4. Phillips (6) 5. Selvage (5) 6. Heskin (12) 7. Moore Jr. (18) 8. Schneiderman (9) 9. Van Haaften (10) 10. Higday (7) 11. Ball (20) 12. Tostenson (15) 13. RJ Johnson (1) 14. Dobesh (2) 15. Beaver (14) 16. Moro (19) 17. Humston (8) 18. D. Hall (13) 19. Shilling (16 ) 20. Roberts (17)
Dobesh did not take off and the first start was called back. He was slow to take off again, but things stayed green. Humston and Higday contacted, sending Humston hard into the wall and into a series of flips. In a separate incident behind that, Shilling and Roberts contacted, with both taking nasty rides. D. Hall was also involved. All four cars were done, but no serious injuries for the drivers. On the next try, a lap was almost completed, but Dobesh shot into the wall after contact with Agan. He careened back across the racetrack and was hit hard by Beaver and Moro. Three more cars were destroyed, but no one was injured. Selvage and Higday both were part of the incident and had to make heavy repairs before restarting at the tail. Finally, things settled down and RJ Johnson took the early lead in the 15-lapper. Agan was fast on the bottom and shot under for the point on lap six. Five laps later, RJ Johnson was running second under pressure from Garner, when something broke on the car and he shot straight into the turn three fence. He was uninjured. Agan now led Garner, Phillips, Giannetto and Selvage, from the back, back to green flag racing. Nothing much changed up front, as Agan won his second feature of the week (Sioux Center on Thursday), and the third in his career at Knoxville. Moore Jr. was the official hard-charger.

It was a typical, heavy narrow track for this 10-lapper. Nikitenko pulled away from everyone in the non-stop event. P. Mock was knocking on dad's door the whole way, until he got by him for the final transfer in the last corner.
D main (started): 1. Jonathan Cornell 28 (2) 2. Trevor Green 4 (1) / 3. Fred Rahmer 51 (4) 4. Mitchell Dumesny 77AU (6) 5. Clint Garner 40 (5) 6. Sam Hafertepe Jr. 15H (8) 7. Mike Moore 69 (3) 8.

Green wrestled the early lead from Cornell in a good race early in the 12-lapper. After Green pulled away a bit, Cornell got a run and took the lead in lapped traffic on lap eight. He held off Green the rest of the wway.
C main (started): 1. Danny Lasoski 6 (2) 2. Tyler Walker 17 (4) / 3. Scott Winters 23w (8) 4. Tim Kaeding 83JR (10) 5. Bronson Maeschen 1 (1) 6. Jonathan Allard 0 (3) 7. Lucas Wolfe 5w (13) 8.

Tatnell flipped to start the 15-lapper. Lasoski dominated the non-stop affair. The battle for second was on. Walker held it most of the way, but with three to go, Winters passed him for it. Walker got a good run off of turn four, and took back the spot by inches at the line.
B main (started): 1. Stevie Smith 1z (2) 2. Paul McMahan 91x (1) 3. Josh Schneiderman 49 (5) 4. Craig Dollansky 7 (3) / 5. Jac Haudenschild R19 (4) 6. Brad Sweet 49s (19) 7. Austin McCarl 17A (8) 8. Ian Madsen 55 (6) 9. Chad Meyer 4H (9) 10. Cale Conley 3c (13) 11. David Gravel 89G (12) 12. Lance Dewease 30c (10) 13. Lasoski (21) 14. Ricky Logan 10a (15) 15. Dean Jacobs 97x (17) 16.

Walker jumped the initial start. It was going to be called back, but he contacted the wall and broke his rear axle, ending his race. Smith led the 22-lapper early on, and it would roll without a caution. McMahan tucked into second, with Haudenschild and Schneiderman behind him. Schneiderman was cruising on the low side and passed Haudenschild for third. Dollansky came along late in the going to claim the fourth and final transfer. Dave Blaney ended his Nationals on lap seven. It was the first time in 16 tries that he has not made the Nationals A main. Sweet needed a caution, but setttled for a 19th to 6th run. Gravel was named Rookie of the Nationals as the highest finishing Rookie.
A main (started): 1. Tim Shaffer 83 (7) 2. Donny Schatz 15 (4) 3. Shane Stewart 57 (8) 4. Dollansky (24) 5. Kerry Madsen 3 (11) 6. Greg Hodnett 22 (3) 7. McMahan (22) 8. Davey Heskin 56 (16) 9. Jason Johnson 41 (9) 10. Smith (21) 11. Daryn Pittman 13x (6) 12. Jason Sides 7s (14) 13. Schneiderman (23) 14. Brian Brown 21 (1) 15. Chad Kemenah 63 (17) 16. Dusty Zomer 91 (15) 17. Brandon Wimmer 7TW (20) 18. Erin Crocker 98 (19) 19. Sammy Swindell 1s (2) 20. Dale Blaney 2B (10) 21. Lynton Jeffrey 12 (13) 22. Steve Kinser 11 (5) 23. Skip Jackson 2 (12) 24. Joey Saldana 9 (18)
Swindell wrestled the early lead from Brown in the 50-lapper. Brown snuck outside Sammy down the frontstretch but was shut down on lap four. Saldana's motor went up in smoke on lap eight and brought a caution. The restart order was Swindell, Brown, Schatz, Shaffer and S. Kinser. The next 17 laps went green until the mandatory red on lap 25. Schatz took a slide at Swindell late for the lead but hit the break in second. Teams were given five minutes to change anything on the car. The restart saw Swindell ahead of Schatz, S. Kinser, Shaffer and Brown. Brown worked his way past Shaffer and S. Kinser retired with engine woes, but Brown blew a right rear tire on lap 34, and had to restart at the tail after making repairs. Schatz had taken a slider at Sammy, but was headed off. The lap 34 restart saw Swindell leading Schatz, Shaffer, Stewart and Dollansky, up from 24th. Once green again, Schatz and Sammy put on a clinic. Schatz took a couple of shots at the leader. He led lap 45, before Sammy came back in front to take 46. One lap later, Swindell's left rear tire would give way and he got upside down. The restart with three laps to go saw Schatz leading Shaffer, Stewart, Dollansky and Madsen. On lap 48, Shaffer slid in front of Schatz in turn four, but Schatz recovered to lead the lap. The next time around, Shaffer would get the job done and lead the last two laps for $150,000. The win was Shaffer's third career victory at Knoxville. Dollansky earned hard-charger honors and the clock, while Heskin was the highest finishing Knoxville regular.
Before the races, Jason Meyers' crew was awarded "Best Appearing". Jason Johnson's group was second ahead of Daryn Pittman's. Swindell was awarded with the "Jesse Hockett Mr. Sprintcar Title".

Three tries were needed to get the A main rolling. Shirshekan spun on the first try, and Hall flipped into the turn one fence. No one was hurt. Madsen was credited with 24th for point purposes after motor trouble following the B. Swindell took the early lead from Jackson in the 25-lapper. Action was instense, as Schatz quickly moved into third and then second behind Swindell in traffic. Jackson held down a steady third, while Brown was moving his way into the top five. Another charger was Smith, who had moved up from row six to fifth. The race went non-stop for 24 3/4 laps, when Moore came to a halt. Swindell led Schatz, Jackson, Brown and Smith back to green. Smith was able to get by Brown for fourth, before Moore spun on another white flag lap. Schatz had a right rear tire in second that was noticeably flat. It cost him on the last restart as Jackson zoomed by him, and Brown circled both Smith and Jackson to move into second at the finish. Jackson gave the locals two cars on the podium. The win was Sammy's 45th 410 win at Knoxville and worth $12,000. McMahan was the hard-charger, moving up 15 spots.
8/11/10
Weuve jumped out to an early lead, but with two laps completed, jumped the cushion in three, and flipped wildly. He was unhurt. Dumesny assumed the lead ahead of Jeffrey, Wimmer, Dollansky and Madsen. That would be the way they would finish, with Madsen not able to get a faster car past Dollansky, who was effective in his blocking tactics. He would change the motor afterwards.
Heat five (started): 1. Mark Dobmeier 13 (1) 2. Jason Sides 7s (6) 3. Bronson Maeschen 1 (4) 4. Tony Bruce Jr. 18 (2) / 5. Meyers 14 (8) 6. Allard 0 (7) 7. Jamie Veal 35AU (5) 8. Ben Gregg 2BG (3) / 9. Rob Kubli 19L (9) 10. Ron Krysl 20PK (10)

Drawings were held at the driver's meeting for a free website from Driverwebsites.com (Kyle Cummins, Chris Morgan), and right rear Hoosier Tires (Casey Riggs, Ricky Williams). Defending champion, the late Jesse Hockett, had his family on hand to pay him a nice tribute with a balloon release and the JHR #77 paced the field for the feature.
Heat one (started): 1. Kyle Larson 2 (2) 2. Bryan Clauson 2B (8) 3. Robby Wolfgang 7K (1) 4. Bill Rose 6 (7) 5. Scotty Weir 12B (8) 6. Kyle Cummins 21x (5) 7. Steve Thomas 20T (4) 8. Henry Clarke 67 (3) DNS - Shane Hmiel 17
Larson led early in the 8-lapper before Clarke stopped after a plume of smoke came from the car with four laps in. Clarke was done for the night. Larson led Wolfgang, Clauson, Cummins and Rose back to green. Clauson was able to take second with two to go using the low side. Each heat and qualifier winner received a right rear tire from Hoosier Midwest. Larson ended up with two in his sixth ever non-wing start.
Heat two (started): 1. Dave Darland 39 (1) 2. Damion Gardner 71 (2) 3. Robert Ballou 81 (4) 4. Chris Windom 11 (6) 5. Keith Bloom Jr. 27 (8) 6. Brady Bacon 99 (7) 7. Chris Urish 77u (3) 8. Ricky Williams 11w (5) 9. Casey Riggs 37 (9)
Darland led flag to flag in a mostly single-file event on a fast surface.
Heat three (started): 1. Tracy Hines 4 (2) 2. Levi Jones 20 (5) 3. Jon Stanbrough 53 (7) 4. Bud Kaeding 29 (8) 5. Casey Shuman 4G (1) 6. Jerry Coons Jr. 69 (9) 7. Kevin Swindell 1 (4) 8. Russ Harper 9 (6) 9. Chris Morgan F1 (3)
Hines led the first lap before a stopped Morgan brought out a caution. Hines led Shuman, Jones, Stanbrough and Kaeding back to the green. The trio running third through fifth worked one by one to get by Shuman by the checkers. Jones challenged ex-teammate Hines, but settled for second.
Qualifier one (started): 1. Larson (5) 2. Rose (1) 3. Clauson (6) 4. Harper (8) 5. Weir (4) 6. Wolfgang (2) 7. Thomas (7) 8. Morgan (9) 9. Ballou (3)
Eight lap qualifiers were inverted by six, based on passing points earned in the heats. Both sets of points were added together to determine the starting spots in the A. In turn four, on the first lap, Weir pitched sideways and collected Ballou, who flipped. He was unhurt. Rose took the lead on the restart. A lap was recorded when Morgan jumped the cushion in turn one and turned over, ending his night. He was unhurt. Rose led most of the way, before Larson shot around on the cushion on the last lap. Clauson had been working over Harper the same way and took third on the last go-around.
Qualifier two (started): 1. Coons Jr. (2) 2. Bacon (1) 3. Kaeding (4) 4. Jones (6) 5. Windom (3) 6. Hines (5) 7. Swindell (7) 8. Williams (8) DNS - Hmiel
Coons Jr. led every lap. Bacon challenged in the late stages, but came up short. Jones came back a couple of positioins after bicycling going into one on the first lap.
Qualifier three (started): 1. Gardner (4) 2. Darland (5) 3. Shuman (1) 4. Cummins (2) 5. Riggs (8) 6. Urish (7) 7. Bloom Jr. (3) 8. Stanbrough (6) DNS - Clarke
Shuman led early with Gardner quickly in pursuit. Gardner shot around to the point on lap four. A lap later, Bloom Jr. flipped after having passed Stanbrough back for fourth. On the restart, Stanbrough caught a rut in one and flipped himself. Both were uninjured. Stanbrough's night was over. Gardner led Darland, Shuman and Cummins back to green. That's how they would finish.
Heat and Qualifier winners (Hines abstaining) performed a Hula Hoop contest for the right to five new crew shirts from Race Gear X. Larson won that easily as well as his two tires. There was something about seeing Darland with a Hula Hoop!
Ultimate Challenge (started): 1. Kaeding (6) 2. Clauson (2) 3. Jones (5) 4. Gardner (3) 5. Darland (4) 6. Coons Jr. (7) 7. Bacon (11) 8. Hines (9) 9. Swindell (22) 10. Hmiel (24) 11. Shuman (13) 12. Riggs (18) 13. Harper (15) 14. Williams (23) 15. Wolfgang (16) 16. Urish (20) 17. Cummins (14) 18. Larson (1) 19. Ballou (19) 20. Bloom Jr. (17) 21. Weir (8) 22. Rose (10) 23. Windom (12) 24. Thomas (21) DNS - Stanbrough, Morgan, Clarke
Things got off to a ragged start in turn one in the 30-lapper. With several cars checking up in front, Windom got the worst of it and flipped hard. The incident also involved Wolfgang and Urish, and also Rose and Thomas, who were done. No one was hurt. Darland replaced a tire and went to the tail for the restart. Clauson jumped out to a lead in front of Kaeding, who had a good start and Jones. Kaeding and Jones battled for second the first five laps before Kaeding took control. Larson had a resurgence and took third back from Jones, riding the cushion on lap sevent. On lap ten, Kaeding worked by Clauson for the lead. The halfway point was unlucky for Larson, who jumped the cushion in turn one and turned the car over while running third. The Golden State Challenge driver who seeks a ride for the Nationals was unhurt. The restart was wicked for Ballou, who flipped violently down the backstretch. He was unhurt. The last restart saw Kaeding leading Clauson, Jones, Gardner and Coons Jr. The last ten laps went fairly uneventful up front, with Kaeding nabbing his first Ultimate Challenge and $15,000 to go with his Knoxville Non-wing Nationals win on Sunday. Swindell lost three spots with a 360 spin on lap 24, but he kept it going. Darland passed Coons Jr. for fifth on the final go-around. Hmiel was the hard-charger and took home a new KSE Steering Pump.

Tracy Hines (7th car out to time) set a new one-lap track record at 18.565 seconds. Bud Kaeding (9th car out) was second quick, followed by Daron Clayton (10th), Casey Shuman (6th), Mike Hess (3rd), Bill Rose (17th), Keith Bloom Jr. (2nd), Brady Bacon (23rd), Jon Stanbrough (11th) and Scotty Weir (8th). Chris Morgan failed to get a time in, and Henry Clarke suffered apparent rear-end problems and coasted across with a slow time.
Heat one (started): 1. Bryan Clauson 2B (3) 2. Kyle Larson 2 (1) 3. Hines 4 (6) 4. Damion Gardner 71 (2) / 5. Hess 51 (5) 6. Stanbrough 53 (4) 7. Mike Moore 69x (7) 8. Domain Ramsay 20AU (8) DNS - Chris Morgan F1
8-lap heats saw the top four transfer to the A. Larson led most of the way valiantly riding the cushion. Clauson was patient on the bottom and cruised past coming for the white flag to take the win. Stanbrough was in a battle with Gardner for fourth when he caught the turn four infield berm, bobbled, and lost a couple of spots.
Heat two (started): 1. Kaeding 29 (6) 2. Shane Hmiel 17s (1) 3. Weir 12B (4) 4. Ricky Williams 11w (3) / 5. Justin Grant 5 (2) 6. Kyle Cummins 21x (7) 7. Rose 6 (5) 8. Steve Thomas 20T (8)
The most entertaining heat of the night featured three and once 4-wide racing. Hmiel took the early lead, but Kaeding was blasting the cushion into third, riding the rim in a four-way battle for the spot with Grant, Weir and Williams. He would eventually win the spot and gain on the leader Hmiel. Coming for the white flag, he would blast into the lead and take the win.
Heat three (started): 1. Robert Ballou 81 (1) 2. Chris Windom 11 (2) 3. Clayton 92 (6) 4. Levi Jones 20 (4) / 5. Bloom Jr. 27 (5) 6. Dave Darland 39 (3) 7. Robby Wolfgang 7K (7) 8. Josh Higday 2x (8)
Windom shot out to an early lead with Ballou in pursuit. On lap three, Ballou would find his way under for the lead. After the lap was completed, Higday spun in turn four, bringing caution. Ballou now led Bloom Jr., Windom, Jones, Darland and Clayton. Clayton found new life after the restart, and bucked the cushion in his typical fashion. He circuled Darland, Bloom and Jones to ride home in third.
Heat four (started): 1. Bacon 99 (5) 2. Casey Riggs 37 (4) 3. Chris Urish 77u (1) 4. Shuman 4G (6) / 5. Henry Clarke 67 (7) 6. Russ Harper 9 (2) 7. Jerry Coons Jr. 69 (3) DNS - Johnny Herrera 45x
Urish led lap one, before Riggs took over. Coons came to a stop on the backstretch with two in the books. He would exit after restarting. Bacon, who restarted third, soon made his presence felt in a challenge for the lead. A three-way battle commenced between Urish, Clarke and Shuman for the two last trasnfer spots. Clarke appeared to be in control of third with two laps to go, after starting on the tail, but Shuman would relegate him to fifth in the last corner. Bacon would also make a last lap cushion pass to take the win.
B main (started): 1. Hess (1) 2. Darland (5) 3. Stanbrough (4) 4. Cummins (10) 5. Bloom Jr. (3) 6. Coons Jr. (6) / 7. Rose (2) 8. Wolfgang (11) 9. Grant (7) 10. Harper (8) 11. Moore (9) 12. Higday (14) 13. Thomas (13) 14. Ramsay (12) 15. Morgan (16) 16. Clarke (15)
Hess led the non-stop 10-lapper throughout. Darland and Stanbrough moved up nicely on the low side. Cummins was the car on the move, grabbing a transfer relatively late, and continuing his charge on the cushion up to fourth.
A main (started): 1. Kaeding (5) 2. Bacon (2) 3. Clayton (4) 4. Weir (1) 5. Gardner (11) 6. Clauson (9) 7. Ballou (15) 8. Windom (12) 9. Shuman (3) 10. Darland (18) 11. Jones (7) 12. Hess (17) 13.

Hmiel shot out to an early lead in the 26-lapper. Bacon was strong and worked by for the point on lap two. Bacon rode the cushion, but tried the low side in three and four on lap five. It was a mistake, and Kaeding jumped all over it, cruising around to take the lead. The cushion proved to be the fast way around. Jones worked patiently on the bottom, however, the first half of the race and passed Clayton for fourth, while Weir ran third in front of him. Jones would eventually take third in a good battle. Clayton shot around Weir for fourth, as Jones moved up to third. Kaeding struggled a bit to lap Cummins, but otherwise, performed well in traffic in the non-stop event. Bacon pulled close a couple of times, but it was not enough to prevent Bud's first career Knoxville 410 win. Jones top four finish turned sour with a flat right rear on the last lap. Darland was the hard-charger, moving forward eight positions.

R. Phillips shot out to a lead in the 12-lapper. With four in the books, Breazeale went up in smoke and came to rest to bring out a caution. R. Phillips led Cram, Alexander, Ball and Mar. Stephenson back to green. Three laps later, disaster struck for Alexander who ran third and spun in turn three, collecting 4th place Ball. Both tipped over, but were unhurt. R. Phillips continued to dominate the last five laps to win his second 305 feature at Knoxville. Kinder moved up 12 spots for hard-charger honors.

The front row was slow to start and it stacked everyone up. Kubli jumped the car in front of him, and flipped. Jim Moughan took evasive maneuvers making contact with Rosenboom, and getting upside down himself. All three of those cars, plus Gaston were done. Friedrichsen also went to the work area. Logan sliced in front of Morgan going into turn one and held the lead through all 10 laps. Alumbaugh did nicely, moving by Shilling into third, while Giannetto grabbed the final transfer from him with two to go. Mosher was the hard-charger.

Danny Heskin led flag to flag in the non-stop 12-lap event. Brink exited on lap two after smacking the turn one wall. Ball ran a steady second, while Martin used an early move to grab third. Hirst slowly gained on RJ Johnson and took the final transfer at the midway point. Giannetto was the hard-charger.
B main (started): 1. Tim Kaeding 83 (4) 2. Brooke Tatnell 14T (1) 3. Davey Heskin 56 (10) 4. Matt Moro 2m (2) / 5. Clint Garner 40 (6) 6. Lee Grosz 4J (5) 7. Gary Wright 9x (11) 8.

Tatnell led the first two laps before T. Kaeding slid in front of him on lap three. Moro moved into third and Garner was fourth. Soon Davey Heskin was steadily picking off positions. He had gained five spots to fifth by the halfway point of the 15-lapper. With two to go, he passed Garner for the final transfer spot, and then not satisfied, took third on the last lap. He was the hard-charger.
A main (started): 1. Shane Stewart 57 (3) 2. Sammy Swindell 1s (8) 3. Jason Johnson 41 (13) 4. Dustin Selvage 7s (2) 5. Bronson Maeschen 1 (4) 6. Jack Dover 53 (18) 7. Tony Bruce Jr. 18 (12) 8.

Humston took the early lead in the 25-lapper with Selvage and Brown in tow. Stewart entered the fray, getting by Brown and Selvage for second before Brown's car went up in smoke. Humston and Stewart avoided disaster by evading Brown on the low side of four when the caution came out late. The restart saw Humston leading Stewart, Selvage, Maeschen and Herrera back to green. On more lap was in the books when Humston came out of turn four and something appeared to loosen him up. He tagged the wall, and broke his front end. As he was sent back across, the track, Herrera (running 8th) was caught with nowhere to go and flipped wildly down the front chute. No one was hurt. Despite a quick clean-up, a lengthy open red ensued. Stewart inherited the lead ahead of Selvage, a charging Swindell, Maeschen and a surging J. Johnson. By the time Davey Heskin brought out a yellow with ignition problems with 13 in the books, Swindell and Jason Johnson had gotten by Selvage. Hannagan entered the top five with another lap in, and another caution for Bacon, who got into the turn one wall. The next ten laps went green, with Stewart holding Swindell at bay and approaching lap traffic. Hannagan stopped in turn two on the white flag lap setting up a green, white, checker finish. Stewart was unphased, and won his second 360 Nationals title, pocketing $10,000 for his third career 360 win at Knoxville.

Maeschen and Allard paced the field througout the 12-lapper despite a number of cautions. After one lap was completed, L. Jeffrey stopped with throttle linkage problems. He restarted at the tail and could only climb back to sixth. Bloom spun with two laps in the books. The restart saw Maeschen ahead of Allard, McCarl, Moore and Heskin. Heskin was able to crowd out Moore for fourth before a slowing P. Jeffrey brought the last yellow on lap seven. The top five would remain the same, with Jacobs just missing a transfer.

Chad Meyer (3rd car out to time) set quick time with the field at 16.681 seconds. Sammy Swindell (29th car out) was second quick, followed by Clint Garner (5th), Darren Long (15th), Jack Dover (4th), Jamie Ball (7th), Danny Wood (43rd), Shane Stewart (31st), Dennis Moore Jr. (6th) and Johnny Herrera (32nd). The track went away quickly, dusting off through the middle.
Heat one (started): 1. Jake Ossenfort 99J (1) 2. Randy Hannagan 22D (4) 3. Jon Agan 4 (3) 4. Dylan Peterson 25 (2) / 5. Ball 5J (5) 6. Meyer 1w (6) 7. Austen Wheatley 44w (7) 8. John Gaston 22J (9) / 9. Colin Entwisle 2T (10) 10. Brian Parker 9* (8) DNS - Mike Hess 18H
The heats were 8 laps and saw the first four head to the A, the next four to the B, and the last finishers to the C. Ossenfort led the first lap before Parker tipped over in turn one. Ossenfort led Peterson, Agan, Hannagan and Ball back to green flag racing. Hannagan used the low side to dispose of Peterson, and then chased down Agan to grab second in the last corner.
Heat two (started): 1. Josh Higday 2 (1) 2. Ryan Roberts 18R (2) 3. Wood 94 (5) 4. Gregg Bakker 11x (4) / 5. Gary Wright 9x (3) 6. Zach Zimmerly 94z (8) 7. Swindell 1s (6) 8. Don Young 7 (7) / 9. Jim Moughan Jr. 1mx (10) 10. Bobby Mincer 14s (9) 11. Joe Riedel 15 (11)
Higday led early. The caution came out on lap three. Wood attempted a slidejob on Swindell for fourth. Swindell took evasive measures getting over the cushion. He would stop and bring out the yellow. Once restarted, he made a couple of swipes at Wood with his car and restarted at the tail. He stopped shortly after green, but ASCS officials determined the caution was coming out anyway for a bad restart so Swindell again restarted at the tail. Higday and Roberts led Bakker and Wood back to green. Wood was able to move by Bakker, while Wright fell short of the final transfer. Swindell advanced to a B transfer spot in 7th.
Heat three (started): 1. Tim Crawley 88 (2) 2. Stewart 57 (5) 3. Bud Kaeding 1x (4) 4. Garner 40 (6) / 5. Dustin Morgan 93 (1) 6. Kyle Sager 20s (3) 7. Chad Heimbaugh 04 (10) 8. Nate Mosher 22N (11) / 9. Preston Peebles II 0c (8) 10. Kevin Ingle 2K (7) 11. Ricky Maiolo 24AU (9)
Crawley led riding the cushion throughout. Stewart and Garner did well to move up into transfers. Stewart was beginning to reel in Crawley towards the end.
Heat four (started): 1. Brooke Tatnell 14T (2) 2. Davey Heskin 56 (1) 3. Long 3G (6) 4. Robby Wolfgang 7K (3) / 5. Jake Peters 57x (4) 6. Jesse Giannetto 10 (8) 7. Dennis Moore Jr. D12 (5) 8. Tony Shilling 47T (7) / 9. Joey Moughan 8H (10) 10. Jon Corbin 9mx (9)
Another stout heat saw Heskin lead lap one, before Tatnell took control on the next go-around. Long impressed with moves by Moore Jr., Peters and Wolfgang for third. Foremer 360 Nationals champs Moore Jr., and Giannetto who battled back and forth with Peters for fifth, headed to the B.
Heat five (started): 1. Rager Phillips 10V (1) 2. Herrera 45x (5) 3. Cale Conley 3c (4) 4. Mitch Olson 98m (2) / 5. Dover 53 (6) 6. Lou Kennedy Jr. 21K (3) 7. Austin Alumbaugh 33A (7) 8. Dave Glennon 5 (9) / 9. Taylor Milton 91x (10) 10. Alan Ambers 93A (8)

Peebles led early on in the 10-lapper. Mincer trailed him the whole race, running low. Peebles ran the faster cushion in turns one and two, and Mincer made up ground on the bottom in three and four. The two traded leads twice in the last two laps. Mincer's car gave way coming down the frontstretch to the checkers, but he nipped Ingle by .03 of a second for the last transfer to the B. However, he would not make the call for the C.
B main (started): 1. Swindell (2) 2. Peters (6) 3. Dover (1) 4. Wright (5) / 5. Young (12) 6. Giannetto (16) 7. Shilling (11) 8. Alumbaugh (14) 9. Ball (4) 10. Zimmerly (13) 11. Kennedy Jr. (7) 12.

Meyer suffered a problem with the mag on the parade lap and had to surrender his pole starting spot. Swindell took the lead right away in the 12-lapper and started to pull away. On lap five, Moore Jr. was running sixth, when he too suffered an ignition problem and stopped on the backstretch. The restart saw Swindell ahead of Dover, Peters, Wright and Ball. Peters was able to get by Dover, but had nothing for Swindell. Young made a late charge, but came a few car lengths from Wright's transfer spot. Giannetto's charge forward 10 spots was fun to watch.
A main (started): 1. Stewart (5) 2. Herrera (4) 3. Hannagan (3) 4. Swindell (21) 5. Tatnell (15) 6. Heskin (19) 7. B. Kaeding (1) 8. Wood (6) 9. Conley (9) 10. Long (7) 11. Roberts (13) 12.

Garner (8)
Herrera circled the front row to lead the 20-lapper. Hannagan moved into second with Stewart third and Garner up to fourth. Garner's run would end with eight in the books with a motor problem. The caution would see Herrera leading Hannagan, Stewart, B. Kaeding and Wood back to green. Swindell had advanced to ninth. As the laps unfolded Stewart and Hannagan exchanged sliders on the dry-slick track with little left on the bottom. Stewart finally took control of that battle and began to slowly reel in the leader. Herrera manuevered through traffic well. With three to go, Stewart was right on his nerf bar. On the last lap, Stewart found his way by, when Herrera was stuck behind the lapped machine of Olson. The win was Stewart's third 360 tally at Knoxville, paid him $3,000 and put him inside row two for Saturday's feature.

Chad Humston (10th car out to time) set quick time at 15.875 seconds. Bronson Maeschen (14th car out) was second quick, followed by Johnny Anderson (39th), Matt Covington (20th), Dustin Selvage (38th), Scott Winters (46th), Tony Bruce Jr. (29th), Matt Moro (47th), Danny Heskin (34th) and Lee Sowell (33rd). The track was soggy and took awhile to come in, leaving the late qualifiers with a slight advantage.
Heat one (started): 1. Eric Baldaccini 4B (1) 2. Humston 1m ( 6) 3. Jason Johnson 41 (3) 4. Tim Kaeding 83 (4) / 5. Jonathan Cornell 28 (2) 6. Winters 23w (5) 7. Channin Tankersley 71 (8) 8. Matt Heinzerling 22x (7) / 9. Dave Hall 51 (9) 10. Jody Rosenboom 27 (10)
Heats went eight laps in distance, and transferred the top four to the A, the next four to the B, and the last two to the C. Baldaccini led the distance, but Humston was impressive, passing Kaeding and Johnson at the outset, and moving by Cornell for second. Kaeding grabbed the last transfer with two to go.
Heat two (started): 1. Brian Brown 21 (4) 2. RJ Johnson 71x (2) 3. Brady Bacon 99 (3) 4. Maeschen 1 (6) / 5. Bruce Jr. 18 (5) 6. Joe Beaver 53x (7) 7. Kelly Miller 44 (2) 8. Rob Kubli 19L (8) / 9. Jordan Martens 13JM (10) 10. Cody Friedrichsen 20 (9)
RJ Johnson took the lead early, but Brown picked it up and pulled away on lap three. Maeschen was able to pass Miller at the halfway point for the final transfer. Friedrichsen blew his left rear tire at the halfway point to bring out caution.
Heat three (started): 1. Danny Jennings 1J (2) 2. Zach Chappell 50z (4) 3. Kyle Hirst 6 (1) 4. Justyn Cox 5H (7) / 5. Moro 2m (5) 6. Anderson 7a (6) 7. Donovan Peterson 3D (8) 8. Justin Whitehead 8w (9) / 9. Erin Crocker 98 (3) DNS - Thomas Kennedy 20K
Crocker flipped in turn one after something broke at the fall of the green flag. She was unhurt. Jennings led flag to flag. 'Cox used a move around Moro and Anderson to take the final transfer spot.
Heat four (started): 1. Billy Alley 22 (2) 2. Randy Martin 14 (1) 3. Covington 95 (6) 4. Jamie Veal 35AU (4) / 5. Heskin 6x (5) 6. Ricky Logan 10a (7) 7. Jake Martens 0 (3) 8. Nate Van Haaften 3 (8) / 9. Alan Zoutte 33 (9) 10. Logan Walker 38 (10)
Alley dominated this one. Covington was the prime mover, using the tacky bottom to advance to third.
Heat five (started): 1. Selvage 7s (6) 2. DJ Brink 21B (1) 3. Bryan Dobesh 54 (4) 4. Lee Grosz 4J (3) / 5. Kolt Walker 45K (2) 6. Don Droud Jr. 86 (7) 7. Sowell 51s (5) 8. Todd Evans 14E (8) / 9. Doc Sloan A12 (9)
Brink lead early, but Selvage was making steady progress. He picked off Walker, Grosz, Dobesh and finally Brink to take the lead on lap six.
C main (started): 1. Hall (1) 2. Friedrichsen (2) / 3. Jo. Martens (6) 4. Rosenboom (5) 5. Zoutte (3) 6. Sloan (4) 7. L. Walker (8) 8. T. Kennedy (7) DNS - Crocker
Hall led the distance in the mostly single-file 8-lapper.
B main (started): 1. Bruce Jr. (3) 2. Winters (2) 3. Moro (4) 4. Anderson (1) / 5. Cornell (6) 6. Heskin (5) 7. Logan (13) 8. Ja. Martens (7) 9. K. Walker (8) 10. Tankersley (15) 11. Van Haaften (14) 12. Miller (9) 13. Beaver (10) 14. Friedrichsen (18) 15. Heinzerling (11) 16. Kubli (12) 17. Evans (19) 18. Whitehead (16) 19. Peterson (17) 20. D. Hall (20)
Winters led early. After a good battle and a stumble by Winters, Bruce Jr. took the lead for good on lap seven. Cornell knocked on the door in traffic, but was denied a transfer spot.
A main (started): 1. Brown (3) 2. Selvage (5) 3. Humston (8) 4. J. Johnson (10) 5. Veal (1) 6. Maeschen (7) 7. Grosz (12) 8. Covington (6) 9. Bacon (11) 10. Bruce Jr. (21) 11. Winters (22) 12. Jennings (13) 13. Dobesh (9) 14. Baldaccini (15) 15. Anderson (24) 16. Kaeding (4) 17. Moro (23) 18. RJ Johnson (16) 19. Martin (18) 20. Alley (14) 21. Hirst (17) 22. Cox (20) 23. Brink (19) 24. Chappell (2)
Chappell jumped out to an early lead on Veal, then Brown stormed by them to lead lap two. After a couple of laps, Selvage was on his way to the front, picking off Kaeding, Veal, then Chappell. Kaeding suffered a blown right rear tire on lap five while running fourth. Brown was strong on the restart, with Selvage moving up. A fifth running Chappell broke a rear-end on lap 13. The restart saw Brown ahead of Selvage, Veal and Maeschen. Humston got a good jump on the restart and worked his way forward to a top three finish. Selvage was strong, but so was Brown, who held on for his 9th career 360 win at Knoxville and $3,000. Bruce Jr. was the hard-charger.

On the first try at green, Mi. Dumesny spun in front of the pack, collecting Stewart. Both were unhurt, but done for the night. Walker led early, but when he bobbled on the cushion on lap five, Sammy sailed around the bottom to take the lead. Swindell underwent a motor change.
Heat three (started): 1. Lynton Jeffrey 12 (1) 2. Davey Heskin 56 (2) 3. Brent Antill 81 (3) 4. Schneiderman 49 (6) 5. Brooke Tatnell 59 (4) / 6. K. Madsen 3 (5) 7. Rager Phillips 10 (8) 8. Zach Zimmerly 94 (7) 9. Erin Crocker 98 (9) DNS - Kaley Gharst 44G
L. Jeffrey led the duration. Great racing for fourth through sixth. Schneiderman got by Tatnell after a good race, then Tatnell lost the final transfer to K. Madsen before regaining it.
Heat four (started): 1. Don Droud Jr. 47 (1) 2. Mark Dobmeier 13 (3) 3. J. Johnson 41 (5) 4. Jonathan Cornell 28 (2) 5. Austin McCarl 17A (4) / 6. I. Madsen 55 (6) 7. Robby Wolfgang 7K (7) 8. Matt Wasmund 4w (8) 9. Paul Jeffrey 12AU (9)

B main (started): 1. K. Madsen (2) 2. I. Madsen (1) 3. Veal (5) 4. Max Dumesny (3) / 5. Phillips (8) 6. Wolfgang (6) 7. Weuve (10) 8. Zimmerly (7) 9. Crocker (12) 10. Wasmund (11) 11. Ingle (14) 12. Entwisle (16) 13. Wheatley (4) 14. P. Jeffrey (15) 15. Moore (9) 16. Olson (13) DNS - Mi. Dumesny, Stewart, Gharst
K. Madsen beat his brother by sliding him in turn three and leading the entire 12 laps. Olson stopped while smoking on lap four. The restart saw K. Madsen leading I. Madsen, Max Dumesny, Veal and Wheatley back to green. Zimmerly and Moore spun on the restart, with the latter going to the pits. Veal used the low side to dispose of Max for third, while Phillips and Wolfgang exchanged sixth behind Wheatley, who would retire early. Phillips made a late bid for the final transfer, but fell short.
A main (started): 1. Swindell (6) 2. Tatnell (2) 3. J. Johnson (5) 4. Green (3) 5. Jackson (7) 6. Zomer (4) 7. Antill (11) 8. Maeschen (13) 9. Brown (9) 10. Schneiderman (8) 11. Dobmeier (12) 12. K.

Walker (14) 24. Cornell (16)
Both Madsens changed tires and started on the tail. Tatnell took the early lead in the 20-lapper. Cornell tipped over in turn three on lap two. Tatnell led McCarl, Zomer, Swindell and Green back to green flag racing. Swindell cruised by Zomer and worked under McCarl to move into second. He took the lead on lap 11 and pulled away for $3,000 and win #44 in his career at Knoxville. Green battled with McCarl using the low side, before McCarl reeled in Tatnell. He would slide by him on the white flag lap for second, but he broke a rear end and was scored 15th. J. Johnson used a move to get by Green to secure the final podium spot. K. Madsen was the hard-charger.
360s
Bronson Maeschen (1st car out to time) set a new track record in qualifying at 15.893 seconds. Two laps were given to each car for qualifying. Ryan Roberts (13th car out) was second quick, followed by Chad Humston (16th), Dustin Selvage (5th), Dave Hall (12th), Bryan Dobesh (14th), Nate Van Haaften (28th), Zach Zimmerly (18th), RJ Johnson (8th) and Kyle Hirst (30th). Matt Moro, Russ Hall and Alan Zoutte all failed to get a time in, and scratched for the night.
Heat one (started): 1. Justyn Cox 5H (1) 2. Clint Garner 40 (3) 3. RJ Johnson 71 (4) 4. D. Hall 51 (5) 5. Maeschen 1 (6) / 6. Tasker Phillips 7TAZ (2) 7. Josh Higday 2 (7) 8. Jamie Veal 35AU (8) 9. Dylan Peterson 25 (10) 10. Cody Petersen 16P (9) DNS - Alan Zoutte 33
Cox led flag to flag in the 7-lapper. Garner challenged throughout using the bottom side, but couldn't quite get there. Maeschen slipped under Phillips for the final transfer coming for the white flag.
Heat two (started): 1. Billy Alley 22 (2) 2. Jesse Giannetto 10 (1) 3. Hirst 6H (4) 4. Roberts 18 (6) 5. Brooke Tatnell 14T (3) / 6. Dobesh 54 (5) 7. Channin Tankersley 71T (9) 8. Ricky Maiolo 24AU (8) 9. Joe Beaver 53 (7) 10. Travis Porter 31P (10)
Alley led the distance, pulling away for an easy win. The best racing was for the final transfer. Tatnell and Dobesh went back and forth with the spot, until running side by side to the checkers. Tatnell was .04 of a second in front of Dobesh at the line.
Heat three (started): 1. Jon Agan 4 (2) 2. Johnny Anderson 7a (4) 3. Humston 1m (6) 4. Austin Alumbaugh 54x (1) 5. Jamie Ball 5J (3) / 6. Danny Heskin 6 (8) 7. Dustin Morgan 93 (7) 8. Van Haaften 3 (5) 9. Bobby Mincer 14s (9) DNS - Matt Moro 2m
Agan led the distance. Humston made his moves early. Ball used a low side move to secure the final transfer from Heskin who had gained it.
Heat four (started): 1. Kyle Sager 20s (1) 2. Selvage 7 (6) 3. Don Young 7D (2) 4. Tony Shilling 47T (4) 5. Dennis Moore Jr. D12 (3) / 6. Randy Martin 14 (9) 7. Kelly Miller 44 (7) 8. Zimmerly 94 (5) 9. Chad Heimbaugh 04 (8) DNS - Russ Hall 45c
Sagar shot out to an early lead and maintained it. Selvage patiently worked the bottom to advance to second. Moore Jr. was in Doc Sloan's D12 got out of shape while running in the top three, slipping back to fifth. Martin made a charge from the tail, but fell one spot short.
B main (started): 1. Phillips (4) 2. Van Haaften (2) 3. Dobesh (1) 4. Morgan (7) 5. Zimmerly (3) 6. Beaver (6) / 7. Martin (16) 8. Higday (5) 9. Veal (9) 10. Tankersley (14) 11. Miller (8) 12. Heskin (11) 13. Heimbaugh (12) 14. D. Peterson (17) 15. Maiolo (10) 16. C. Petersen (13) 17. Mincer (15) DNS - Porter, Moro, R. Hall, Zoutte
Phillips shot around the front row to lead lap one. With one lap in the books, Heimbaugh spun on the backstretch. That set up a restart that had Phillips leading Van Haaften, Dobesh, Beaver and Morgan. Morgan was able to work the low side to get by Beaver for the final transfer.
A main (started): 1. Garner (1) 2. Anderson (3) 3. Shilling (2) 4. Selvage (7) 5. Humston (8) 6. Hirst (4) 7. Agan (13) 8. Roberts (9) 9. D. Hall (6) 10. Alumbaugh (17) 11. Giannetto (16) 12. Cox (15) 13. Young (14) 14. Van Haaften (20) 15. Beaver (24) 16. Morgan (22) 17. Dobesh (21) 18. Zimmerly (23) 19. Tatnell (10) 20. Alley (12) 21. Sager (18) 22. Moore Jr. (11) 23. RJ Johnson (5) 24. Phillips (19) DNS - Maeschen, Ball
In separate incidents, RJ Johnson and Phillips flipped in one and two when the green fell. Garner grabbed the early lead when things got underway in the 15-lapper. On lap two, a caution saw Roberts change a flat right rear and surrender 7th. He would charge back through for an eighth place finish. The lap two restart saw Garner ahead of Anderson, Shilling, Selvage and Hirst. Five laps later, Moore Jr. spun in turn one and Zimmerly hopped the cushion to avoid him. Zimmerly did all but turn it over and was able to restart at the tail. Now Garner led Shilling, Anderson, a surging Alley and Selvage. Alley shot by Anderson and was by Shilling for second when he slowed and exited to the pits on lap ten. Garner rode the bottom, while Shilling shot around the cushion. Shilling passed Garner in one and two as the caution was coming out for Tatnell, who had a flat with two laps to go. Garner was able to hold on after the restart for his seventh career Knoxville 360 win. Anderson was able to get by Shilling on the restart as well. Beaver was the hard-charger.

Heat one (started, *qualified for feature): 1. Gary Wright 9x (1*) 2. Randy Martin 14 (3*) 3. Matt Covington 95 (7*) 4. Darren Long 3G (5) 5. Brady Bacon 99 (8*) 6. Ryan Schlender 48 (4) 7. Jason Schroeder 5 (9) 8. Tyler Blank 75 (2) 9. Mitchell Moore 19 (6)
With a lap completed, Moore went over the turn there berm, an act that would be repeated by others. Wright had the early lead over Martin, Blank, a chargin Covington, and Schlender on the restart. Three laps later, Schlender found himself in the same position as Moore. Schroeder, and a third running Blank did the same on the restart. With four down, and four to go, Wright led Martin, Covington, Long and Bacon back to green. That was how it would finish.
Heat two (started, *qualified for feature): 1. Josh Fisher 86x (1*) 2. Brian Brown 21 (2*) 3. Justyn Cox 5H (4*) 4. Jason Johnson 41 (6*) 5. Jack Dover 53 (5) 6. Tim Crawley 88 (3) 7. Tony Bruce Jr. 18 (9) 8. Kyle Bellm 14K (7) 9. Chris Coleman 10 (8)
Fisher got the jump on Brown heading to the high side in one and two, which built a berm and led the 8-lap distance. Johnson made an early move into fourth, while Dover did the same. It was tough sledding in by far the stoutest heat race of the night. Bruce underwent a motor change earlier in the night.
Heat three (started, *qualified for feature): 1. Jonathan Cornell (1*) 2. Channin Tankersley 71 (2*) 3. Sean McClelland 1 (4*) 4. Don Droud Jr. 86 (5) 5. Rusty Potter 3P (3) 6. Eric Todd 21T (6) 7. Zach Zimmerly 94z (8) 8. Mike Trent 10x (7) DNS - Jon Corbin 44
Corbin had the powerplant go up in smoke in hot laps and was a scratch for the night. A feather touch was needed in three and four on the cushion, and Potter went over the top after a lap was completed. Cornell, who was three for three for wins in 360 action at LA this year, led the distance. On lap six, Trent went up in smoke and was done for the night. Potter recovered from the tail to grab fifth from Todd in the last corner.
Heat four (started, *qualified for feature): 1. Shane Stewart 57 (2*) 2. Kyle Hirst 6 (1*) 3. Austin Alumbaugh 54 (3) 4. J Kinder 88K (4) 5. Jeff Wingate 15 (8) 6. Curtis Boyer 72 (5) 7. Steven Cross 19s (9) 8. Taylor Walton 93w (7) 9. Ricky Logan 10a (6)
Stewart and Hirst separated themselves from the pack every time there was a caution (3 of them). Boyer stopped on lap two. Logan went over the berm on lap three after contact with Kinder, and then spun on lap four after contact with Wingate. After going over the berm a third time, he parked it. Walton spun on the lap three restart. Alumbaugh's number change (54) is in tribute to his car owner, Wahlie Brown, who passed away a couple weeks back.
Heat five (started, *qualified for feature): 1. Danny Wood 94 (2*) 2. Zach Chappell 50z (4*) 3. Mark Shirshekan 3 (3) 4. Dustin Morgan 93 (8*) 5. Haley Arnold 165 (1) 6. Cody Baker 38 (5) 7. Tony Crank 9c (7) 8. Austen Wheatley 44w (6)
Arnold grabbed the early lead, and with a lap in the books, Wheatley came to a stop. Arnold led Wood, Chappell, a charging Morgan and Shirshekan back to green. Wood took the lead on the restart, and two laps later, Wheatley again came to a stop and was sent pitside. Wood led Arnold, Chappell, Shirshekan and Morgan back to green. Chappell and Shirshekan slid under Arnold on the restart to take second and third, and Morgan would follow suit on the next lap.
B main one (started): 1. Dover (3) 2. Bruce (6) 3. Shirshekan (1) / 4. Droud (2) 5. Logan (11) 6. Wheatley (9) 7. Boyer (5) 8. Arnold (4) 9. Schlender (7) 10. Schroeder (12) 11. Wingate (13) 12. Crank (8) 13. Blank (10) DNS - Trent
Wingate surreendered his pole position when he was late to staging. Dover was dominating in the 12-lapper. After a couple of tries at a start, Bruce stormed into third immediately, and eventually wrestled second from Shirshekan on a widening track. Having no cautions didn't help Logan, who drove from row six to fifth.
B main two (started): 1. Long (2) 2. Crawley (9) 3. Alumbaugh (1) / 4. Potter (4) 5. Zimmerly (8) 6. Todd (6) 7. Baker (7) 8. Kinder (3) 9. Bellm (10) 10. Cross (5) 11. Coleman (12) 12. Walton (11) DNS - Moore, Corbin
Alumbaugh lead early ahead of Long and Kinder. On lap five, a charging Zimmerly came in too hot in turn three, getting into Kinder and taking both out. That collected Bellm as well, eliminating three cars in the top six. That meant new life for the "Crawdad" who was in fourth all of a sudden. Using the low side all the way around, he worked under Potter and then Alumbaugh for second late. Long had taken the lead from Alumbaugh on lap eight.
A main (started): 1. Stewart (5) 2. Johnson (15) 3. Chappell (7) 4. Morgan (2) 5. Dover (17) 6. Bruce (19) 7. Long (18) 8. Covington (3) 9. Shirshekan (21) 10. Hirst (12) 11. Crawley (20) 12. Cornell (8) 13. Bacon (16) 14. Martin (9) 15. Tankersley (11) 16. Logan (23, pr.) 17. Alumbaugh (17) 18. Cox (13) 19. Wheatley (25, pr.) 20. Kinder (24, pr.) 21. Wood (6) 22. Fisher (1) 23. Wright (4) 24. Brown (10) 25. McClelland (14)
Fisher spun from the pole in front of the field to start the 30-lapper. Fortunately, everyone missed him. Morgan took the early lead in at times, three-wide racing with Covington and Stewart. The action was furious early on, and Chappell was on the move and into second by lap 8. Brown, who got into the back of Cornell and suffered nose wing damage during the Fisher spin, still managed to charge to sixth. On lap nine, he got upside down in turn four when a stop came off of the car. The restart had Morgan leading Chappell, Stewart, Covington and Cornell. Wright had been fifth, but his right rear went flat and he took it to the pits. Chappell slid under Morgan heading into one to take the lead. Stewart shot under Morgan on lap 13, and a charging Johnson was into third by lap 17. Chappell built a good lead with Stewart in pursuit, when the final caution came out with three laps to go for a Wood spin. Chappell's right top wing side panel was caved in the rear, and Stewart pounced on the restart to take the lead as Chappell pushed up the track. Johnson was able to follow suit and that's how they finished. Dover's pass for fourth was negated by the late caution, as he, Long and Bruce were fun to watch from teh back. Johnson was the official hard-charger, but five cars passed at least 11 cars.

Veal led the distance and was gone at the checkers in the 8-lapper. Zomer and Maeschen provided some good racing for the final transfer, exchanging the spot in the last two laps.
Jackson led flag to flag in a mostly single-file affair. The cushion gave Schneiderman the momentum to gain the final transfer, but Brahmer came close to reclaiming at the checkers.
Schneiderman took the early lead in the 7-lapper. Moro cruised by using the low side on lap three. Plenty of good racing behind them, as Humston and Garner had a good battle that led to second and third.

Humston led early, but Brown was able to maneuver around him to lead lap two in the 15-lapper. Brown put multiple cars between himself and Humston, who was challenged by Garner. Brown continued on and was off to the races. Moro and Giannetto contacted in front of the leader on lap 13, with Moro tipping over in the incident. He was uninjured. Brown led Humston, Garner, Selvage and RJ Johnson back to green and that is how it would end. Agan was the hard-charger, while Giannetto also moved up eight spots. The win was Brown's 7th in a 360 at Knoxville.

On lap 10, an inadvertent yellow came out for Drueke, who had done a 360 spin. He got his spot (10th) back. The restart saw Brown ahead of Garner, Grosz, Maeschen and Boston. Grosz was able to get by Garner on the restart and Maeschen started working on Garner himself. The two were exchanging slidejobs on opposite ends of the track when the yellow came out for Boston, who blew his left rear tire. Now Brown led Grosz, Maeschen, Garner and Peters back to green. Three laps later, Phillips came to a stop on the frontstretch and retired. Agan had passed Peters for fifth in the only change in the top five. The win was Brown's third career tally in Denison, and worth $2,000. McCarl was the hard-charger.

Several happenings when the green dropped on the 25-lapper. Garner jumped the start and was sent to the tail. Do. Peterson spun in turn two and restarted at the tail. A. McCarl took it pitside with a loose fuel pump bolt. On the restart, sprint car pinball resulted in Wolfgang breaking a front end and retiring. Ballenger shot out to an early lead, but with a lap in, an inadvertent yellow was called. The restart saw Ballenger leading T. McCarl, Kerzman, C. Meyer and T. Meyer. T. McCarl shot under Ballenger on lap four to take the lead. On lap seven, Dy. Peterson stopped on the track, bringing caution. Kubli had been into the top five, but jumped the berm on the backstretch and slavaged sixth for the restart. The restart would see him jump it again and need a new left rear tire. It was time for a fuel stop. T. McCarl led Ballenger, C. Meyer, Kerzman and Bakker who had a pass for fourth negated by the caution. Dy. Peterson spun again on the restart and was sent to the pits. T. McCarl pulled away, but two laps later, Jones spun and retired, and Bakker exited from fifth. Two laps later, the final slowdown came for Rosenboom, who stopped after contact with a charging Garner (from the tail). The final restart saw T. McCarl ahead of Ballenger, C. Meyer, T.

Jackson led the 12-lapper early. Behind him, Phillips and Moore battled for second. Max Dumesny was in fourth, and Joey Moughan moved by Bunton into the fifth and final transfer before a red flag for a flipped Bartz stopped things with nine laps down. The restart saw Jackson ahead of R. Phillips, Moore, Max Dumesny and Joey Moughan. The latter two would be victims of Bunton and Wolfgang, who took advantage of the restart, and shot by into transfer spots. Cornell dropped out on lap six.

T. McCarl shot out to the early lead in the 20-lapper as A. McCarl stayed close behind. Dobmeier moved up into second and you could have thrown a blanket over the battle for the runner-up spot to fifth, with Zomer, Antill and Rogerson battling as well. Dobmeier stayed within striking distance in lap traffic, but couldn't get in position to make a move. The car on the move early was Johnson, who quickly moved into the top ten and ran sixth at the checkers. Herrera came on late in the non-stop event, picking off A. McCarl for third with two to go and then getting by Dobmeier on the last lap. Johnson was the hard-charger. The win was T. McCarl's win was his 48th (4th all-time at Knoxville).

R. Phillips took the early lead in side by side action with Jackson. On lap two, the first caution of the features came out for debris left in turns one and two. Droud Jr. had put a slider on Antill, taking off the bumper of the #81. Both cars restarted in their running positions. Jackson and R. Phillips went side by side the first half of the race. One needed more eyeballs to see all the great action on a perfectly prepared track. R. Phillips led laps 1-3. Jackson led 4, R. Phillips led 5-8, and Jackson took over on lap nine. Johnson was again in the top five from row seven. Madsen moved by R. Phillips into second with four laps to go. Johnson moved into third before a caution came out for Reed, who suffered a flat left rear on the white flag lap. The green, white, checker finish saw Jackson leading Madsen, Johnson, R. Phillips and Droud Jr. Johnson went to the middle of turns one and two and killed his momentum. Droud Jr. and R. Phillips got by. Madsen was all over Jackson and drove by him in turns one and two on the last lap to claim his first career Knoxville win. Herrera was the hard-charger.

Garner swapped the lead with Hall before taking command. The battle for second ensued between four cars. Hall and Agan battled for the spot early, before Humston and Selvage came on. The spots were swapped often, with drivers using grooves up high, down low and through the middle in one and two. Three and four saw the cushion utilized mostly, with the low side working in as well coming out of turn four. Selvage and Humston raced close in the late stages, with Selvage finishing in the runner-up spot behind Garner and earning hard-charger honors. Garner had two lapped cars to navigate the last two laps with Selvage right behind him, but he was able to maintain his point lead (41.5 over Selvage) and grab his sixth career Knoxville win.

Heskin used the low side to blow past the first row starters and lead lap one. Brown was on him on lap two and took the point in the 20-lapper. With three laps in the books, Moughan spun in turn one. Brown led Heskin, Jackson, Schneiderman and Maeschen on the restart. Brown pulled away, while Heskin and Jackson battled for second behind him. Schneiderman entered the picture, getting by Heskin and then making a move on Jackson for second on lap 11. He would spin into the infield, bringing out the yellow. Now Brown led Jackson, Maeschen, Heskin, Zomer and Johnson, up from 14th. Johnson moved into the top five when the caution flew again, this time on lap 14 for Bunton who came to a stop and exited. Johnson shot by Heskin and Maeschen to move into third on the restart. With four to go, Moore crashed hard into turn one, collecting Kubli, who was able to restart. No one was injured. The final restart saw Brown lead Jackson, Johnson, Maeschen and Heskin back to green flag racing. Jackson appeared to get high in turn three and contact the fence, allowing Johnson to move into second. Heskin also turned in a good restart and surged to third. The final lap saw 13th running (after going to the tail following his spin) Moughan blow a left rear tire, and collect 14th running Austin McCarl. Both cars suffered heavy damage, but both drivers were unhurt. The win was worth $3,000 and was Brown's 18th in 410 competition at Knoxville, tying him on the all-time list with Ray Lee Goodwin and Jac Haudenschild. Johnson was the hard-charger.

Schneiderman got out to an early lead in the 10-lapper. R. Hall surged from row four, and was quickly in a transfer. On lap seven, Boles took over the point, but Schneiderman stayed on him and retook the lead on the last lap in a great race. Mather and R. Hall had a good battle, and Dobesh took the last transfer with two to go.
A main (started): 1. Selvage (5) 2. Humston (4) 3. Bakker (8) 4. Higday (1) 5. Anderson (9) 6. Agan (14) 7. Roberts (7) 8. Grosz (12) 9. Garner (3) 10. Heskin (11) 11. Mather (18) 12. R.

After Moro spun on the first try at green, and Garner spun on the next, Humston inherited a front row starting spot and led the first four laps. Moore Jr. brought a caution lap two due to a flat right rear. He restarted at the tail. Humston led Higday, Selvage, Bakker and Roberts on the restart. On lap four, Selvage had worked his way under Higday and set his sights on Humston, passing him for a lead he would never surrender the rest of the 15-lap distance. A close call at the midway point in lapped traffic gave Humston a chance, but Selvage pulled away again. Bakker moved up nicely to third. Agan was the hard-charger, moving up eight spots. RJ Johnson retired on lap 12. The win was Selvage's fifth career win at Knoxville.

Ian Madsen (5th car out to time) set quick time on an extremely dry surface at 16.532 seconds. Wayne Johnson (13th car out) was second quick, followed by Austin McCarl (6th), Bronson Maeschen (1st), Dusty Zomer (8th), Josh Schneiderman (19th), Brian Brown (15th), Don Droud Jr. (12th), Johnny Herrera (21st) and Lynton Jeffrey (16th). Robby Wolfgang looked to have dumped a motor in three and four during time trials, and scratched for the night. The track was watered after time trials due to severe dryness.
Heat one (started): 1. Davey Heskin 56 (2) 2. Jeffrey 12 (3) 3. Brown 21 (4) 4. Madsen 55 (6) 5. Maeschen 1 (5) 6. Ryan Bunton 6R (1) 7. Joey Moughan 2m (7)
Heskin led the distance in the 8-lapper. The top five finishers got their time spot back for the A. Maeschen ran sixth most of the way, but did a slide for life on Bunton on the last lap. Bunton slammed on the brakes to avoid disaster.

Moore led from start to finish. Most opted for the cushion on the dry track. Moves for position were decided early.

Jeffrey got sideway in the slick in turn one, backed over the cushion, and flipped to start things. He was unhurt. Droud shot to the lead in the 20-lapper (shortened because of track conditions) in one and two. Brown slid in front of him in three and four, but Droud went back by to take the lead after lap one. Before two could be completed, Schneiderman started a slider on Brown for second that never got there. The car got sideways, and several were collected, including Zomer, who was done, Maeschen, who broke a front end and was done, McCarl, who replaced a top wing and returned. Schneiderman also returned. Droud led Brown, Johnson, Madsen and Herrera back to green flag racing. Rubber soon developed and Herrera was the first to find it. He picked off Madsen, then Brown, then Johnson. Finally he shot through the middle to pass a cushion riding Droud on lap eight. Droud came back on lap nine, and got below Herrera in one and two to lead it. On the frontstretch, Herrera's driveline was shelled, and he was done. Heskin and Jackson both came from row six and were quickly in the top four. The last caution came on lap 13 for Moughan, who stopped in turn four. The restart saw Droud leading everyone around the bottom, ahead of Johnson, Heskin, Jackson and Brown. That is the way they would finish. Droud earned $3,500 for his 13th career feature win at Knoxville, moving him by Donny Schatz. Bunton was the hard-charger, with Heskin a close second.

Clint Garner, who timed in the first group, set quick time at 16.260 seconds. The track went away quickly. Johnny Anderson was second quick, ahead of Chad Humston, RJ Johnson, Jon Agan, Tony Shilling, Bryan Dobesh, Tasker Phillips, John Hall and Jon Corbin.
Heat one (started): 1. Brett Mather 17G (2) 2. Matt Moro 2m (1) 3. Garner 40 (6) 4. Agan 4 (5) / 5. Nate Van Haaften 3 (3) 6. J. Hall 7H (4) 7. Alan Zoutte 33 (7)

Ball led throughout and looked good. The best race was for third between Anderson and Corbin. Anderson was able to grab it in the final corner.
Heat three (started): 1. Dustin Selvage 7 (3) 2. Humston 1m (6) 3. Robby Wolfgang 7K (2) 4. Russ Hall 45c (4) / 5. Dobesh 54 (5) 6. Chad Heimbaugh 04 (1) 7. Jarrod Schneiderman 88 (7)
Selvage shot under Heimbaugh for an early lead he would carry flag to flag. Humston was up to the challenge and made a few moves on the point to no avail.
Heat four (started): 1. Tom Lenz 8L (2) 2. Ryan Roberts 18 (4) 3. Dennis Moore Jr. 2 (3) 4. RJ Johnson 71 (6) / 5. Danny Heskin 6 (1) 6. Phillips 7TAZ (5)

Dobesh grabbed the early lead in the 10-lapper until a lap two caution for a spun Schneiderman. Smoke emanated from the Dobesh machine right before the caution, and he would surrender his lead and retire for the night. Shilling inherited the lead ahead of J. Hall, Montgomery, Phillips and Heskin. Montgomery and Phillips drove under J. Hall for position, and Phillips was able to slide in front of Montgomery for the second spot.

Roberts jumped out to an early lead, pulling away quickly in the 15-lapper (shortened from 20 because of track conditions). Agan settled into second, with Humston close behind. Humston made a successful pass for second at the midway point, but there was no catching Roberts, who took the white flag with more than a straightaway lead. That all changed on the white flag lap, when RJ Johnson slowed. That set up a green, white, checker, with Roberts leading ahead of Humston, Agan, R. Hall and Anderson. Humston slid in front of Roberts on the restart, and spoiled his bid for a win. The win was Humston’s first ever at Knoxville, and paid him $1,500.

Maeschen shot out to an early lead in the 25-lapper. Kennedy got up into the wall in turn two on lap two and brought out the red. Maeschen led Davis, Cornell, Dover and Hess back to green. The leaders were in heavy lap traffic, with Dover challenging Maeschen for the lead, when Kinder spun with a mechanical problem with five laps in the books. Maeschen led over Dover, Cornell, Davis and Hess on the restart. Maeschen shot out in front of the field and led the next six laps. Dover shot by Maeschen on the backstretch, but Maeschen dove back under in three and four in lapped traffic. Maeschen came out high in turn four, and nearly made contact with the lapped car of Boyer. Maeschen got sideways, bringing out the caution. He restarted at the tail. Dover led Cornell, Hess, Russell and Todd on the restart. Dover pulled awsy. Lutz came on strong at that point, and moved into third by lap 22, when disaster struck. Both Lutz and Davis got upside down. Lovegrove was also involved. Now Dover led Cornell, Hess, Todd and Corbin with three to go, and that would be the way they would finish. The win was worth $1,500 to Dover.

Lynch led the 12-lap non-stop race. The top two transferred to the back of the feature. Herrera was quickly up to third by lap four, but something let go and he pulled in the pits. Lynch and Pittman separated themselves from the rest of the field. Schneiderman utilized his brother's 360 car.
B main two (started): 1. Sam Hafertepe Jr. 15H (1) 2. Don Droud Jr. 47 (5) / 3. Adam Wilt 15x (2) 4. Brian Ellenberger 22 (4) 5. Davey Heskin 56 (9) 6. Randy Hannagan 1x (6) 7. Ben Gregg 2B (8) 8. Cale Conley 3c (7) 9. Dusty Zomer 91x (3)
Hafertepe led flag to flag despite a caution for Zomer, who challenged for a transfer early, then went up in smoke on lap eight. Wilt restarted second, outside row one on the restart, but Droud had a good start on the inside, and cruised by him for the final transfer. Conley exited on lap ten.
A main (started): 1. Jac Haudenschild R19 (1) 2. Brian Brown 21 (2) 3. Tyle Walker 17 (5) 4. Lucas Wolfe 5w (6) 5. Kerry Madsen 3 (12) 6. Jason Sides 7s (17) 7. Kraig Kinser 11K (4) 8. Mark Dobmeier 13L (3) 9. Brad Sweet 49 (9) 10. Sammy Swindell 1 (16) 11. Chad Kemenah 63 (7) 12. Paul McMahan 91 (10) 13. Craig Dollansky 7 (11) 14. Donny Schatz 15 (8) 15. Lance Dewease 30c (13) 16. Joey Saldana 9 (24) 17. Jason Meyers 14 (19) 18. Droud Jr. (22) 19. Pittman (23) 20. Steve Kinser 11 (15) 21. Lynch Jr. (21) 22. Hafertepe Jr. (20) 23. Brooke Tatnell 59 (18) 24. Danny Lasoski 6 (14)
Saldana was forced to the rear of the field with a fuel line issue and repairs in the work area. Haudenschild set sail early in the 25-lapper with locals Brown and Dobmeier in tow. The slidejobs were frequent on the dry-slick surface back through the field and one needed about eight eyes to see everything. The lead trio stayed nose to tail until reaching traffic, and it appeared the event may go non-stop. K. Kinser followed in fourth, with Walker and Madsen battling behind him for position. Schatz was up to sixth with 23 laps in the books when his right rear exploded, bringing the only caution of the race out. The two-wide start saw Haudenschild pick the low groove to start out with Brown outside. On the first attempt, Madsen was ruled to have jumped off outside of row three. He slid in front of the leader exiting two, but it was called back and he was moved back a row. Brown got a decent start when the green fell again, but he could not get by Haudenschild. Dobmeier who stayed with Haud and Brown in heavy lapped traffic before the caution, was passed by several cars before the checkers, as was K. Kinser. Madsen and Sides were the movers in the event, with the latter earning hard-charger honors. The win was Haudenschild's 18th tying him with Ray Lee Goodwin on the all-time Knoxville list. It was worth $10,000 and was his first since a non-wing SCRA win in 1999.
Masters
Sammy Swindell (8th car out to time) broke the 360 one-lap track record in time trials with a lap of 15.819 seconds. Danny Lasoski (7th car out) was second quick, followed by Dwight Snodgrass (1st), Randy Smith (5th), Mike Peters (11th), Randy Combs (9th), Steve Wares (15th), Roland Johnson (3rd), Chris Maurer (13th), Mackie Heimbaugh (4th), David Brown (2nd), Keith Prutzman (10th), Bill Smith (12th), Earnest Jennings (14th) and Don Stoutner (6th).
Heat one (started): 1. Swindell (4) 2. Peters (2) 3. Wares (1) 4. Snodgrass (3) 5. Maurer (5) 6. Brown (6) 7. B. Smith (7) 8. Stoutner (8)
Wares led the first lap, but Swindell took over and won going away.
Heat two (started): 1. Lasoski (4) 2. R. Smith (3) 3. Combs (2) 4. Johnson (1) 5. Heimbaugh (5) 6. Jennings (7) 7. Prutzman (6)
Lasoski took the lead with authority in one and two and never looked back. R. Smith moved by Combs on the bottom to gain second. Lasoski and R. Smith have 14 Knoxville titles between them.
A main (started): 1. Swindell (6) 2. Lasoski (5) 3. Peters (2) 4. Johnson (8) 5. Heimbaugh (10) 6. Wares (7) 7. Snodgrass (4) 8. Maurer (9) 9. Combs (1) 10. Brown (11) 11. B. Smith (13) 12. Jennings (14) 13. R. Smith (3) 14. Prutzman (12) 15. Stoutner (15)
Peters shot out to an early lead and looked good on the cushion. Combs spun sideways and gently tipped over on lap two. He would continue after being righted. Peters led R. Smith, Swindell, Lasoski and Johnson back to green flag racing. Swindell disposed of R. Smith and used the low groove to challenge Peters. He took the point on lap five and one lap later, Stoutner spun in turn one. Swindell led Peters, Lasoski, R. Smith and Heimbaugh back to green. Lasoski worked by Peters, but the last 17 laps belonged to Swindell as he pulled away, lapping up to third place. R. Smith was running fourth with a handful of laps to go when the Ball 5J shut down. The win was worth $3,000 and was Sammy's second in a 360 sprint...his first was last year's Masters Classic.

Bill W’s Best Appearing of 2009
A new year, and time for my annual best appearing list. Again this year, we’ve gone with a top ten in 410s and 360s. We’ll also look at the top five in 305s, the top non-winger, and best appearing of the midgets. How tough is it to make the top ten? Well, for one, I sifted through my photos of 234 410s and 370 360s (both up from 2008). As always there are three reasons why a car you believe should be on here, isn’t: 1. I didn’t see the car live. 2. I didn’t get a good photo of the car with my digital gizmo (not likely) 3. You are wrong! (likely)
360s
#10 – Casey Heser (Jackson, MN) – I caught Casey at the Jackson Spring Nationals in April. The wisp of dust in the distance is the only hint of how miserable a night was with stiff and cold 40 m.p.h. winds coming out of the North towards the grandstand. Several cars were knocked off their course on the backstretch by Mother Nature. Casey’s car was an eye-catcher.
#9 – Dusty Zomer (Brandon, SD) – Dusty drove for the Rock Rapids, Iowa based Van Wyhe team early in the season at Nebraska Raceway Park on this day. The car was looking its best, and the second team car was a finalist in this year’s countdown, and made the list in 2006.
#8 – Dale Blaney (Hartford, OH) – The Hammons Motorsports #6 is overdue to this list after being a finalist for a few years. I’m a sucker for lightning bolts for some reason, and this one sticks out on the track. This shot was caught at the 360 Nationals in Knoxville, Iowa.
#7 – Donnie Steward (West Burlington, IA) – Sponsorship from Harley Davidson has gotten several cars on the list over the years despite the fact that I am no biker. Heartland Harley Davidson of Burlington, Iowa backs Steward, and he made a return to 360 racing pay off with a win at his home track (34 Raceway) with the Sprint Invaders in 2009.
#6 – Randy Martin (California, MO) – Randy’s streak in making this list is now at seven consecutive years. Randy’s cars never contain “too much” going on as far as graphics, just a simple clean and polished look that makes them stand out among the rest.
#5 – Don Young (Bartlett, TN) – Don becomes a Knoxville resident about mid-July every year to prepare for August. He showed up with this mount. The cars are always clean looking, but I took a liking to the clear side panel on the wing. Don didn’t go so well on this night, and I didn’t see the wing come out again.
#4 – Tommy Bryant (Conroe, TX) – This car looked to be clearly purchased from Chad Kemenah and the Kantor #8K team. Despite that, owner Jerry Bell made a good decision in not altering the look. Bryant has a lot of talent as his win totals will attest, but couldn’t qualify well enough at Knoxville in this car to qualify for the 360 Nationals final.
#3 – Jesse Hockett (Warsaw, MO) – No one won more races in 2009 than “The Rocket” who copped 22 features including the East Bay “King of the 360’s” and the Ultimate Challenge. He teamed with Tom Buch/VKCC Motorsports and made 13 a lucky number. This is another car with a clean look, and the yellow and blue are accented with the white swoosh.
#2 – Evan Martin (California, MO) – Like father, like son. Having seen Evan’s car online, I knew when I arrived at Lake Ozark Speedway in September, that if the rookie’s car was in one piece, it was a cinch for this list. It’s not easy to pull off the color copper on a sprinter, but this one did fine.
#1 – Brian Brown (360 Nationals) (Grain Valley, MO) – After a year’s absence from this list, Brian is back as Missouri sweeps the 360 podium. One of several drivers to try to lobby to get on this list in the past (to no avail), it’s the appearance that counts. The FVP car was a nice touch, and a good looking car that stood out on the track (and it helps that my favorite color is red).
2008 360 Top Ten: 1. Mark Shirshekan 2. Randy Martin 3. Garry Bell 4. Joey Moughan 5. Ryan Hall 6. Greg Wilson 7. Jason Eckard 8. Roger Crockett 9. Tim Crawley 10. Kolt Walker
2007 360 Top Ten: 1. Justin Barger 2. Ryan Jamison 3. Shane Stewart 4. Kevin Ramey 5. Tim Crawley 6. Jeff Williams 7. Bryan Howland 8. Rager Phillips 9. Ben Gregg 10. Ryan Bickett
2006 360 Top Ten: 1. Jessica Zemken 2. Donny Howard 3. Foster Landon 4. Randy Martin 5. Travis Whitney 6. Brian Brown 7. Brad Best 8. Shawn Van Wyhe 9. Danny Martin Jr. 10. Jeff Day
2005 360 Top Ten: 1. Rick Ideus 2. Caleb Griffith 3. Scott Box 4. Ricky Fauver 5. Sean McClelland 6. Dave Anderson 7. Randy Plath 8. Randy Martin 9. Doug Lovegrove 10. Brad Welborn
2004 360 Top Ten: 1. Preston Peebles II 2. Jody Roland 3. Eddie Gallagher 4. Natalie Sather 5. Darren Long 6. Herb Reed 7. AG Rains 8. Gene Ackland 9. Dex Eaton 10. Brian Hetrick
2003 360 Top Ten: 1. Mike Ward 2. Sean McClelland 3. Roger Crockett 4. Brian Harvill 5. Cody Hansen 6. Ryan Voss 7. Randy Droescher 8. Wade Oliver 9. Billy Alley 10. Kenny Adams
2002 Best Appearing 360: Rick Ideus
410s
#10 – Ricky Logan (Little Rock, AR) – Primary sponsorship from Lucas Oil provided a nice color combination and theme for Ricky’s 2009 entry. The car was easy to pick out on the track for Ricky’s fans.
#9 – Chad Trout (Felton, PA) – Chad’s entry may be a surprise to some, but the car really stood out to me for some reason. I only got to see Chad compete once at that was at the Keystone Cup in May at Lincoln Speedway.
#8 – Daron Clayton (Sikeston, MO) – The “Modern Day Cowboy” turned to the wings in 2009, and aced Rookie of the Year honors with the All Stars and at the Knoxville Nationals. This look was designed for the Nationals (shot at Osky), and if I had a vote for “Best Appearing” of the special schemes would have made the top two.
#7 – Lance Dewease (Fayetteville, PA) – LD has driven the Catoctin #30c for the past two seasons. I like the trend of fading colors from dark to light, and to be honest, this is one that looks better close-up than from a distance.
#6 – Jason Sides (Nationals) (Bartlett, TN) – “Double Down” carried the blue scheme for the King’s Royal and the Nationals. He had an uphill battle after problems in qualifying at Knoxville, but looked to be one of the faster cars on the track.
#5 – Mark Smith (Tower City, PA) – Mark is sponsored by Bricker’s French Fries and the car never ceased to make me hungry. That has to count for something. The “fry guy” on the top of the wing is cool too, and I caught this shot at Grandview Speedway.
#4 – Cris Eash (Hanover, PA) – The PA “Love Fest” continues. I was out there early in the year and that helps. Cris always has great looking cars. I thought his U.S. flag color combination after 9/11 in 2001 was one of the all-time greats so I included that one as well.
#3 – Billy Balog (Eau Claire, WI) – This late year dramatic change to the “Alaskan Cheesehead’s” entry was welcome. He needs no help on the track. He is the two-time and defending IRA champion.
#2 – Donny Schatz (Nationals) (Fargo, ND) – For the second time in four years, Schatz rises to #2 on the list with a special Nationals entry. The car was designed to emulate Mario Andretti’s STP scheme at Indianapolis. It ran almost as fast as Donny won his fourth Nationals in a row.
#1 – Johnny Herrera (Albuquerque, NM) – “Hollywood” returned to Knoxville with this good looking mount financed by Larry and Lori Woodward and won the track title. Sometimes when you see a car every week, you take its appearance for granted, but not so here. This is a sharp one. In addition, their non-wing entry was also a winner on this year’s list (see below)
2008 410 top ten: 1. Chad Kemenah (Nationals) 2. Rob Chaney (Nationals) 3. Shane Stewart (Nationals) 4. Daryl Stimeling 5. Caleb Griffith 6. Sam Haftertepe Jr. 7. Keith Kauffman 8. Dion Hindi 9. Joey Saldana 10. Danny Smith (Nationals)
2007 410 top ten: 1. Kenny Jacobs (Weikert’s) 2. Randy Martin 3. Tyler Thompson 4. Fred Rahmer 5. Joey Saldana (King’s Royal) 6. Brian Kristan 7. Brian Brown 8. Stevie Smith 9. Jerry Richert Jr. 10. Jac Haudenschild (Nationals)
2006 410 top ten: 1. Kerry Madsen (Nationals) 2. Donny Schatz (Nationals) 3. Brian Leppo 4. Jason Meyers 5. Wayne Johnson 6. Jason Dukes 7. Brook Weibley 8. Brian Ellenberger 9. David Harrison 10. Brooke Tatnell (whitewalls)
2005 410 top ten: 1. Brooke Tatnell 2. Kerry Madsen 3. Shane Stewart 4. Cory Haas 5. Chad Blonde 6. Brian Leppo 7. Jason Hunt 8. Kenny Jacobs 9. Jesse Giannetto 10. Mike Stefka
2004 410 top ten: 1. Terry McCarl 2. Kenny Jacobs 3. Randy Martin 4. Chad Kemenah 5. Tim Shaffer 6. Roger Crockett 7. Mark Smith 8. Lucas Wolfe 9. Brian Montieth 10. Mike Kertscher
2003 410 top ten: 1. Toni Lutar 2. Randy Martin 3. Steve Kinser (Hulk) 4. Randy Hannagan 5. Don Droud Jr. (Batman) 6. Lance Dewease/Terry McCarl 7. Chad Kemenah 8. Tim Kaeding 9. Kim Mock/Mike Kertscher 10. Joe Roe
2002 410 top ten: 1. Sammy Swindell (nationals) 2. Chad Blonde 3. Matt Moro 4. Sean Michael 5. Jeff Hodgson 6. Jan Howard 7. Greg Hodnett 8. Dave Enders 9. Tommy Tarlton 10. Chad Meyer
305s
#5 – Trish Dover (Springfield, NE) – Brother Jack may be mad we included Trish and not him on these lists, but at least his car made the background here. Trish made limited 305 starts in 2009, with this one coming at Jackson Speedway.
#4 – 20T (West Burlington, IA) – The #20T carried several drivers in 2009 and was one of the flashiest looking machines at 34 Raceway. Dave Anderson’s Rockstar Graphics dominated this 305 list in 2009.
#3 – Bruce Anderson (Trimont, MN) – This Jackson regular had a flashy look this year, and normally has had nice looking stuff. The color combination is one you don’t see often.
#2 – Dave Anderson (Burlington, IA) – The proprietor of a graphics company (Rockstar Graphics) should be on this list right? “Da Beef” did a great job with his car as he did by making the 2005 360 list. It is good to have him back in the sprint cars after a few racing modifieds.
#1 – Bob Anderson (Burlington, IA) – Dave’s brother Bob shows another great example of Rockstar Graphics work in this tribute to their late brother Donnie “Noodles” Anderson. Who says the 305 sprints don’t shine?
Non-wing
Best Appearing – Johnny Herrera (Albuquerque, NM) – I had a sneak peek at the mock-ups of this car over last offseason, but didn’t get to see it until August. Any car with pin-up girls included can’t be bad right?
2008 Best Appearing Non-wing car: Johnny Herrera
2007 Non-wing top five: 1. JJ Yeley 2. Brett Burdette 3. Mat Neely 4. Jesse Hockett 5. Jerry Coons Jr.
2006 Best Appearing Non-wing car: Don Droud Jr.
2005 Non-wing top five: 1. Kevin Besecker 2. Matt Westfall 3. Charles Davis Jr. 4. Dave Darland 5. Jac Haudenschild
2004 Best Appearing Non-wing car: Seth Wilson
2003 Best Appearing Non-wing car: Roger Rager
2002 Best Appearing Non-wing car: Damion Gardner
Best Appearing – Kent Schmidt (Owensville, IN) – I caught Kent’s car at Jacksonville, Illinois during the Herb Barlow Memorial. I’ll admit I thought the David Bros. Farms sponsorship with the inclusion of corn stalks in the graphics were pretty cool.
2008 Best Appearing Midget: Brad Kuhn
2007 Midget Top Five: 1. Brandon Waelti 2. AJ Fike 3. Tracy Readinger 4. Brad Loyet 5. Dustin Morgan
2006 Midget Top Five: 1. Andy Martin 2. Jimmy Light 3. Bryan Clauson 4. Tom Hessert III 5. Kurt Mayhew
2005 Best Appearing Midget: Mike Miller
2004 Best Appearing Midget: Steven Graham
2003 Best Appearing Midget: Aaron Fiscus
