Congradulations to Tim Shaffer for his first Knoxville Nationals win, and to all the participants in all the features. It was good to see so many Knoxville regulars do well, especially Brian Brown for winning the pole, and Davey Heskin who led the “locals” with an 8th place finish.
I’m continuing to post photos of the Nationals, but don’t hesitate to email me if I haven’t posted photos of your favorite yet, I also have photos from the wingless races at Knoxville and Oskaloosa to upload. I’ve been asked by several people if I have photos of certain wrecks and to get them on the site so I will be uploading those also.
We were treated to another exciting Knoxville 360 Nationals, and congradulations to Shane Stewart, Sammy Swindell and Jason Johnson for 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the “A” main, and all the feature winners.
I Keep promising myself to keep this blog more current, and I really will. It’s been another exciting season at the Knoxville Raceway this year, the “A” mains especially have been close and exciting, showing us how skillful these drivers are. The points races are close in both divisions with Brian Brown leading Don Droud Jr. by 81, and Clint Garner ahead of Dustin Selvage by 35.5 points heading into the last sprintcar race of the season next Saturday night. There have been several new drivers on the podium through out the season, which also adds excitment and demonstrates that the skill level is very high of not only the drivers but the crews as well. Every race the Knoxville Fire and Rescue Crew works hard and skillfully, and deserves a great deal of praise and appreciation for the difficult job they do, and the track officials and staff do as well.
I will continue posting photos of the weekly races as well as the Nationals, the wingless and 305 races in Knoxville, and some wingless photos from Oskaloosa also. As always I take many more pictures than I can post so if you don’t see the car or driver you root for or want to see more, please email me.
