Swindell Claims 48th Career at Knoxville in WoO Season Opener!
by Bill Wright
KNOXVILLE RACEWAY, Knoxville, IA, April 28, 2012 – Sammy Swindell emerged victorious on a cool, but
action-packed Mediacom Shootout Saturday at the Knoxville Raceway! The Bartlett, Tennessee driver shot by
Brian Brown on lap 15 in the 25-lap event to claim his 48th career win at the historic oval. It was Swindell’s
fifth career Knoxville season opening win, but his first since 1986.
Brown led from the pole at the outset after a lap one tangle saw Rager Phillips, Don Droud Jr. and Kraig Kinser
get upside down. Only Kinser would continue. On lap two, Joey Saldana cruised by Craig Dollansky to take
the runner-up spot, before Ian Madsen spun and tipped over in turn two. Though he continued, he repeated the
maneuver on the restart.
Swindell began to assert himself at that point, taking third from Dollansky on the restart, and second from
Saldana on lap five. Brown continued a steady pace into traffic. Dollansky claimed third from Saldana on lap
13.
Brown was in heavy traffic on lap 15, and Swindell found a middle to low groove coming off of turn four to
claim the lead for good. One stoppage occurred on lap 19, when sixth running, Kerry Madsen tangled with the
lapped machine of Robby Wolfgang. He would recover for twelfth.
Both Dollansky and Saldana moved by Brown after the restart with six laps to go, while Swindell cruised to
victory. Following Dollansky, Saldana and Brown in fifth was Danny Lasoski, who grabbed the spot from
Donny Schatz in the last corner. Dusty Zomer (from 21st) was seventh, followed by hard-charger, Jason Sides
(from 23rd), Brad Sweet and Terry McCarl.
“The whole Big Game Treestands team worked hard all night,” said Swindell in Victory Lane. “We were off
some. We just kept working on it, and we were really close. It’s a good base for us to come back next time and
win another one. I can win every time I’m here if things go right. We’re capable of doing that. My good luck
charm, Zoe, is helping me behind the scenes.”
It was a thrilling finish with a surprise result in the 360 class. Nate Van Haaften was awarded his second career
feature win after a race-long battle with Josh Higday. After Higday made a last lap pass for the lead, he was
disqualified for using an illegal tire. The win was then awarded to Van Haaften.
Lee Grosz crashed hard at the initial try at a green flag. He was uninjured. Tom Lenz led early in the 18-lapper
from his front row starting spot. On lap three, Higday surged to the point, but Lenz came back to lead lap four.
On lap six, Van Haaften entered the fray, passing the lead pair to take the point for the next eight circuits.
Higday worked by Lenz for second on lap 11 before Joe Beaver had his front-end knocked out on lap 13. The
caution period saw Van Haaften leading Higday, Lenz, Clint Garner and David Hall back to green flag racing.
Higday again worked into the lead on lap 14, but Van Haaften denied him again with a pass a lap later. The
exciting finish saw Higday get around Van Haaften on the final circuit, only to be DQed.
“We settled into the bottom and really made it work,” said Van Haaften in Victory Lane. “We got into traffic,
and I really thought it cost us the win on the last lap. This was a lucky deal. Josh is a great competitor, and it’s
an honor to run that close with him.”
Next week marks Knoxville Championship Cup Series action at the Knoxville Raceway and it will feature all
three sprint divisions on Saturday night! The 1st Annual Knoxville IMCA Shootout will be Sunday, featuring
four divisions of racing. For more information, visit www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com!

Wayne Johnson Continues Roll with Knoxville Raceway Feature Win!
by Bill Wright
KNOXVILLE RACEWAY, Knoxville, IA, May 5, 2012 – Wayne Johnson is perfect for the season. Fifteen
features and fifteen top five finishes. He added his first 410 win of the year, to the five he already holds in
ASCS competition by wiring the stacked field of 30 competitors here Saturday night. Defending 360 champion,
Clint Garner won the 360 feature, while Steve Breazeale pulled down his fourth career 305 triumph at
Knoxville.
Johnson dominated his heat, and the feature inversion put him on the pole. It would be all he would need to
lead from flag to flag. He pulled away early from Dustin Selvage, Mike Reinke, and a battle for fourth between
Bill Balog and Terry McCarl. With seven laps in the books, Lynton Jeffrey spun. The restart saw Johnson
leading Selvage, Reinke, Balog and McCarl back to green flag racing.
In the next two laps, Danny Lasoski surged into third, before contact from another sprinter launched Austin
Johnson out of the raceway in turn three. He was unhurt in the scary crash. The lead trio remained the same the
final eleven laps, as several cars made advances back in the pack.
The win, aboard the Wayne Johnson Racing #77x was the Knoxville driver’s seventh here. Selvage ran a
steady second, ahead of Lasoski. McCarl made a last lap pass of Reinke for fourth. Balog was sixth, ahead of
hard-charger, Mark Dobmeier, Dusty Zomer, Davey Heskin and Bronson Maeschen.
Heskin posted quick time, while Johnson, Zomer and Dobmeier were heat winners. Rob Kubli claimed the B
main. Mark Johnson was a flip victim in that event, but was uninjured.
“There on the caution (with 11 to go), I saw that (Lasoski) was third,” said Johnson in Victory Lane. “I wasn’t
sure where he started, but I know he’s good at the bottom here. My car was no good on the bottom, so we
weren’t going anywhere near it. You know, I have a guy from Canada and Washington, and (Curt) Brooks is
from Iowa here. They work really hard on this thing.”
Things were spiced up in the 360 class, when former ASCS National champion, Jason Johnson, towed in.
David Hall took the lead from his pole position early on in the 18-lap feature. On the second lap, Nate Van
Haaften, spun, collecting Ryan Roberts, who got upside down. He was uninjured.
Hall led Johnson, Joe Beaver, Tyler Groenendyk and Garner on the restart. On lap four, Johnson made his
move into the lead. By lap eight, Garner had worked up to third, and took second on the tenth circuit. Gregg
Bakker, up from his tenth starting spot, took third right before Casey Friedrichsen came to a stop with eleven
laps completed.
Johnson had grown his lead, but Garner used the restart to slide in front of the “Cajun Sensation”, so take the
lead for good and go on to his twelfth 360 win here. Hard-charger, Bakker, also got by Johnson on lap 13.
Johnson would settle for third, ahead of Matt Moro and David Hall. Beaver, Carson McCarl, Jamie Ball, Jon
Agan and Tony Shilling completed the top ten. Garner posted quick time over the 25-car field. Agan, Russ
Hall and Nate Mosher captured the heat races.
“It was a lot of fun racing with (Jason Johnson),” said Garner in Victory Lane. “He’s as good as they come. I
met him in 2000, and he don’t do nothing but race. It was awesome to race with him, and it was great to beat
him. My car was really good and I was right on him on the restart. I hope the pass was clean enough.”
After a lap one melee eliminated pole-sitter, Cody Ambers, Andrew Shelton and Dakota Hendrickson, Steve
Breazeale had clear sailing in the 15-lap 305 feature. The veteran from Trenton, Missouri sailed to his fourth
career win in the class.
Mike Van Haaften ran a strong second, ahead of quick-timer, Mitchell Alexander, Larry Ball Jr., Matt
Stephenson, Matthew Stelzer, Steve Palmer, Casie Vernon, Mike Philben and J Kinder. Alexander, Ball and
Van Haaften won heat races. Andy Bates flipped hard in his heat, but was uninjured.
“This old guy doesn’t like to go to the bottom,” said Breazeale of maneuvering lapped traffic. “You just have to
go where they aren’t.”
The 1st Annual Knoxville IMCA Shootout will be Sunday, featuring four divisions of racing. For more

Davey Heskin Finishes First in Thrilling 410 Showdown at Knoxville!
by Bill Wright
KNOXVILLE RACEWAY, Knoxville, IA, May 12, 2012 – Davey Heskin led every lap of the 410 main event,
but the fans at Knoxville were treated to great racing Saturday night. The bad news for the St. Michael,
Minnesota driver happened in post-race inspection. Officials determined that his mufflers needed further
scrutiny so the winning check for $3,000 has been withheld until they can be sent to the manufacturer. The
same is true for 360 feature winner, Wayne Johnson, and third place finisher, Tony Shilling. Confirmation of
official finishes will be made later in the week.
Heskin edged Bronson Maeschen to lead lap one of the 20-lap feature event for the 410’s. While Maeschen and
Lynton Jeffrey chased the leader, Terry McCarl and Mark Dobmeier were waging a slide job battle for fourth.
By lap eight, McCarl was by Jeffrey into third. Ian Madsen enterd the fray and briefly took fourth.
Great racing ensued between McCarl, Jeffrey, Madsen and Brian Brown, who entered the top three by passing
McCarl and Maeschen in one fell swoop on lap 13. The lead trio became Heskin, Brown and McCarl and they
exchanged moves with the crowd on the edge of their seat! With five laps to go, Heskin led Brown, McCarl,
Jeffrey and Maeschen.
One lap later, ninth running Ryan Bunton tangled with the lapped machine of Wayne Modjeski, bringing the
only slowdown of an intense event. Heskin would hold off all competitors with the open track in front of him.
Brown held second, followed by McCarl, Jeffrey and Madsen. Dobmeier, Dustin Selvage, Robby Wolfgang,
Maeschen and Tasker Phillips rounded out the top ten. Heats were won by Ryan Anderson, Jeffrey and Josh
Schneiderman, while Madsen posted quick time of the night in qualifying.
“I don’t think words can describe how I feel,” said Heskin in Victory Lane. “I didn’t know about the caution. I
just tried to hit my marks, and pulled it off I guess. I just kept my foot in it down the chute, and that’s all you
can hope for, I guess.”
Jon Agan shot out to an early lead in the 18-lap 360 feature from his front row starting position. Wayne
Johnson moved into second on lap two and chased the leader. Agan maintained his advantage, and at the
halfway point, he led Wayne Johnson, Tony Shilling, Clint Garner and Joe Beaver.
On the tenth lap, chaos ensued during a caution for a stalled Matt Covington in turn two. Agan hit the
frontstretch wall hard, and had to retire. Johnson inherited the lead ahead of Shilling, Garner, Beaver, Tyler
Groenendyk and Matt Moro. Two laps after the restart, Josh Higday and Carson McCarl contacted, and Nate
Van Haaften spun. All three restarted. The clear track with six laps was what Johnson needed to cruise to his
tenth 360 feature win at Knoxville.
Garner followed Johnson across the finish line. Shilling was third, ahead of Moro and Randy Martin. Beaver,
Groenendyk, Jamie Ball, RJ Johnson and David Hall rounded out the top ten. Groenendyk, Logan Forler and
Randy Martin won heat races, while Garner also copped quick time.
“I’ve always said I’d rather be lucky than good,” said Wayne Johnson of Agan’s misfortune that handed him the
lead. “I had a really good car there that was good on the curb. I was hoping we’d get to traffic, and I’m not
really sure what happened to him. He was going to be tough to beat. We were fortunate to start toward the
front.”
Larry Ball Jr. dominated the 305 feature from start to finish. Matthew Stelzer was the man on the move. He
had moved into fourth by lap four from his eighth starting spot. The only slowdown of the event came when
Ben Woods went up in smoke on lap six. At the time, Ball led Steve Breazeale, Matt Stephenson, Stelzer and J
Kinder.
On lap nine, Stelzer moved by Breazeale into second where he would stay. Kinder would follow him into third
a lap later. Behind the lead trio, were Breazeale and Alan Ambers. Stephenson, Mike Van Haaften, Mitchell
Alexander, Mark Widmar and Bob Hildreth. Breazeale, Alan Ambers and Ball scored heat wins. Stelzer
posted quick time of the night.
“I wasn’t even sure if I’d be racing after my snowmobile accident last winter,” said Ball in Victory Lane.
“Randy Martin told me to win one for the old guys, and this is a good way to make my injuries feel better.”
Next weekend, be here for the McKay/Allied Insurance Knoxville/IRA Challenge plus 360’s! Dirt Trucks will
also be on the card! For more information, visit www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com!

Last Lap Pass Sees Brian Brown Victorious at Knoxville!
by Bill Wright
KNOXVILLE RACEWAY, Knoxville, IA, May 19, 2012 – Using a last lap pass, Brian Brown scored his 20th
career 410 feature victory at Knoxville Raceway Saturday night. Brown and Ian Madsen dueled to the checkers
after leader Davey Heskin exited with rear-end problems with two laps to go. In the 360 feature, Jon Agan, shot
away from a field that included Jason Johnson to emerge with a win of his own.
After an incident retired Rager Phillips at the beginning of the 410 feature, pole-sitter, Ryan Bunton took the
early lead in the 20-lapper. Lynton Jeffrey took the point on the next go-around and by the time five laps were
in the books, he led Bunton, Madsen, Heskin and Brown. Shortly after, Madsen and Heskin moved into second
and third in their pursuit of the leader.
Heskin, who won here last week, was able to shoot under Madsen, and it was his turn to take the lead on lap
nine. Brown moved into second, ahead of Madsen, Jeffrey and Bunton at the halfway point. Jeffrey’s strong
run would end when a motor problem brought out the race’s first caution on lap 11.
Madsen would work by Brown for second on lap thirteen and tried to run down a strong Heskin. Glen Saville
spun on lap 18, collecting Jarrod Schneiderman, and bringing out the races final slowdown. The leader pulled
pitside with rear-end problems, and the lead was Madsen’s.
The green, white, checker finish was a classic, with Madsen and Brown exchanging the point. Coming into the
final two corners, Brown slid in front of Madsen to take the win in the Brian Brown Racing #21 Maxim.
“We shouldn’t have won this thing,” said Brown in Victory Lane. “Davey Heskin had the fastest car. We’ve
been in that situation on the other end ourselves. Ian was doing a good job of making his car wide, and I wasn’t
sure where he was going to run. I knew if I could hit the bottom, I would be o.k. We hit it at the end, and we
went ahead and slid him.”
Behind Brown and Madsen, Mark Dobmeier made a late charge to third, ahead of Wayne Johnson and Terry
McCarl. Bunton, Dusty Zomer, Dustin Selvage, Robby Wolfgang and Hard Charger, Josh Schneiderman,
rounded out the top ten. Zomer, McCarl and AJ Moeller won heat events, while Bronson Maeschen set quick
time.
The 18-lap 360 feature went non-stop, and pole-sitter, Jon Agan set a blistering pace in leading every lap. By
lap five, quick timer, Jason Johnson was into second, trying to pursue leader. Russ Hall was on the move in a
battle with Randy Martin and Nate Van Haaften. He would move by Martin into the top five by lap seven.
Johnson closed in on Agan with around five laps to go, as the leader dealt with heavy lapped traffic with
perfection. Things got crazy in traffic with three laps to go, but Agan was able to slide through and increase his
advantage on Johnson. At the checkers, Agan had lapped up to ninth place. He also lapped point leader, Clint
Garner, who had to start at the rear after ignition problems.
“We were really strong last weekend and had a torsion bar break,” said Agan in Victory Lane. “You’ve got
your hands full when you do that. We were really nice, and we felt like we let this one get away. My guys
busted their buns for me, and I can’t thank them enough. You never know who’s behind you or where they are
at. Jason is always super-tough and super-fast.”
Behind Agan and Johnson were Joe Beaver, David Hall and Russ Hall. Van Haaften, Tyler Groenendyk,
Martin, Chad Heimbaugh and Tony Shilling rounded out the top ten. Johnson set quick time, while also taking
a heat race win. Other heat winners were Jamie Ball and Josh Riggins.
Next week, all three divisions of sprint cars will be in action at Marion County Cattlemen, Corn and Soybean
Growers Night! For more information, visit www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com!

Danny Lasoski Scores Win #97 at Knoxville!
by Bill Wright
KNOXVILLE RACEWAY, Knoxville, IA, May 26, 2012 – Danny Lasoski drew one win closer to 100 at this
famous half-mile oval on Saturday night on Marion County Cattlemen, Corn and Soybean Growers Night. The
Dover, Missouri native registered his 97th win after passing leader, Bronson Maeschen, on a lap thirteen restart.
A pair of Van Haaften’s won in the 360 and 305 classes on Saturday, and both did it in record time. Nate Van
Haaften registered his second career feature win in the 360 main event, as did his cousin, Matt Van Haaften in
the 305 class.
Maeschen shot out to a lead from his starting spot outside of row one in the 20-lap feature for the 410’s.
Contact on lap three between Aussies Lynton Jeffrey and Ian Madsen resulted in the latter flattening a right
front tire and bending a wheel. He would restart.
Maeschen led Dusty Zomer, Lasoski, Davey Heskin, who would hit the cone and be penalized two spots, and
Dustin Selvage back to green. Lasoski worked by Zomer for second on lap seven, while a surging Selvage
moved by Zomer for third a lap later.
At the halfway point, Maeschen led Lasoski, Selvage Zomer and Heskin. Travis Whitney had a top ten run
come to a halt when he stopped with 13 laps in the books. At the time, Maeschen had a nice lead ahead of
Lasoski, who was being pressured in traffic by Selvage. The restart gave Lasoski the opportunity he needed to
snatch the lead and pull away.
Selvage’s great run was ended with two laps to go, when he blew a right rear tire. The final restart saw Lasoski
ahead of Maeschen, Heskin, Zomer and quick-timer, Robby Wolfgang. Heskin suffered a damaged nose wing
and would lose two spots before the checkers.
Lasoski found his car running well in an unfamiliar place…the cushion on top of the track. “It’s just as tough
here as it is in Pennsylvania where I’ve been the last couple weeks,” he said in Victory Lane. “I was getting a
nosebleed up high, but that was where we needed to be.”
Maeschen finished second, ahead of Zomer, Mark Dobmeier and Heskin. Terry McCarl, Wolfgang, Brian
Brown, Rager Phillips and Don Droud Jr. rounded out the top ten. McCarl, Tasker Phillips and Droud won heat
races.
The non-stop 18-lap 360 feature belonged to Nate Van Haaften. He would lead wire to wire from the pole,
winning in a track record time of 5:13.8. That bested a time set by David Hesmer in 2003. There was plenty of
action behind Van Haaften, however. Casey Friedrichsen rode second for the distance.
Jamie Ball would end up third after starting in row five. He moved into fifth by lap six, and four by lap 11.
Clint Garner followed him through the field for fourth, and RJ Johnson was fifth. Jon Agan, Matt Moro, Josh
Higday, Russ Hall and Tyler Groenendyk rounded out the top ten. Garner, Tom Lenz and Ball were the heat
winners. Garner also set quick time.
“The track threw a curveball at us in that it had a good bottom,” said Nate in Victory Lane. We took advantage
of it. My heart goes out to my Mom and Dad and the crew.”
Mike Van Haaften did what Nate did. He led from start to finish in the non-stop 15-lap 305 feature event. Van
Haaften set a torrid pace on the bottom of the track and took almost a full minute off the 2007 track record set
by Stacey Alexander. Van Haaften’s winning time was 4:29.0.
Mitchell Alexander would finish second after moving up from row three. He moved into third by lap six, and
grabbed second from Alan Ambers with two laps to go. Ambers would finish third, ahead of Matthew Stelzer
and Larry Ball Jr. Bart Friedrichsen, Matt Stephenson, Steve Palmer, Dakota Hendrickson and Steve Breazeale
rounded out the top ten. Van Haaften and Breazeale were heat winners, and J Kinder set quick time.
“It was a blast out there,” said Van Haaften in Victory Lane. Running here has taught me to run the bottom,
and I used that tonight.”
Next week, all three divisions of sprint cars will be back in action on Pella Corp & JDRF are Racing to a Cure
for Diabetes Night! Also, it is National Hall of Fame & Induction Weekend. On Sunday, the 1st Annual
Knoxville Shootout for Modifieds, Sport Mods, Stock Cars and Hobby Stocks will take to the Knoxville
Raceway. For more information, visit www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com or www.SprintCarHOF.com!

Danny Lasoski Repeats at Knoxville!
by Bill Wright
KNOXVILLE RACEWAY, Knoxville, IA, June 2, 2012 – Danny Lasoski inched closer to the magical 100
mark with his 98th career win at the Knoxville Raceway Saturday night. The Dover, Missouri driver made it
two wins in a row aboard the Creason Pipeline Services #33. Point leader, Clint Garner, won the 360 feature,
while Mike Van Haaften also made it two wins in a row in the 305 class.
Josh Schneiderman took the early lead in the 20-lap 410 feature. A Dustin Selvage spin with two laps in the
books, also claimed AJ Moeller who made contact with Don Droud Jr. Everyone restarted. Schneiderman led
Mark Dobmeier, Rager Phillips, Justin Henderson and Brian Brown back to green flag racing.
Dobmeier used the opportunity to shoot by Schneiderman for the lead. Dobmeier pulled away from the field,
and at the halfway point, led a four car battle for second that you could throw a blanket over. Schneiderman,
Henderson, Brown and Lasoski all vied for the spot.
When a ninth running Rager Phillips had issues with two laps to go, things got interesting as the field was
bunched behind Dobmeier. Lasoski was up to second, ahead of Brown, Davey Heskin and Henderson. Lasoski
worked by Dobmeier on lap 18, before a caution for debris was called. The last restart saw Lasoski ahead of
Dobmeier, Brown, Heskin and Schneiderman. Heskin was a rocket, grabbing second by the last lap behind
Lasoski.
Brown was third, ahead of Dobmeier and Schneiderman. Henderson, Bronson Maeschen, Hard Charger Jason
Johnson, Ian Madsen and Terry McCarl rounded out the top ten. Selvage registered quick time of the night, and
Schneiderman, Lynton Jeffrey and AJ Moeller won the heats.
“I really didn’t know what to think,” Lasoski said of the restart that gave him the win. This car was handling all
over the place. I knew the top was good, and I didn’t figure Dobmeier would leave it. We ran the top and the
bottom. We really didn’t know which way to go!”
Carson McCarl shot out from the pole to lead early in the 18-lap 360 feature. The race was marred by everal
cautions in the first six laps, including a nasty accident that saw JD Johnson get upside down hard and land on
Lee Grosz. Both drivers were uninjured.
The final caution came when Clint Garner drove under Jamie Ball, and forced him into the fence in a battle for
third. Ball sustained heavy damage and went pitside, while Garner too second on the restart and took the lead
for good from McCarl to complete the ninth lap. It was his 13th career 360 win at Knoxville.
“Carson did a great job, and I really want to apologize to Jamie Ball,” said Garner in Victory Lane. “I didn’t
want to crash him or distract him in any way. I just wanted to pass him. I’d like to thank Al Parker, Midwest
Excavating and Super Shox. This car has some good shocks now. We’ve been working at them all year.”
McCarl would settle for second, ahead of Randy Martin, Jon Agan and Nate Van Haaften. Russ Hall, Matt
Moro, Casey Friedrichsen, Joe Beaver and Ryan Roberts rounded out the top ten. Van Haaften registered quick
time, while Tyler Groenendyk, Russ Hall and Lee Grosz won heat races.
The 305 feature was a race of attrition with just seven competitors taking the checkered flag. Matthew Stelzer
led much of the way through a series of cautions. Finally, on the twelfth lap, he ran out of fuel, and Mike Van
Haaften was there to take advantage. It was Van Haaften’s second win in a row and third in his career at
Knoxville.
“Actually, about two or three laps in, I lost my brakes,” said Van Haaften. “I saw that the bottom was faster, at
least for my car. I’m guessing (Stelzer) ran out of (fuel). We rolled the dice with what we were going to do
with the main and it worked.”
Bob Hildreth was second, ahead of Dakota Hendrickson, Hard Charger, Ben Woods and Cody Ambers. Larry
Ball Jr. registered quick time, and Stelzer and Matt Stephenson won the heats.
On Sunday, June 3, the 1st Annual Knoxville Shootout for Modifieds, Sport Mods, Stock Cars and Hobby
Stocks will take to the Knoxville Raceway. For more information, visit www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com or

Kerry Madsen Takes Final Outlaw Prep for Nationals!
by Bill Wright
KNOXVILLE RACEWAY, Knoxville, IA, June 9, 2012 – Former Knoxville Raceway track champion, Kerry
Madsen, took a lap six lead from Sammy Swindell and shot to victory in the Mediacom Shootout for the World
of Outlaws here on Saturday night. The St. Mary’s, New South Wales, Australia native was aboard the Keneric
Racing #29 wrenched by Rob Hart. Three-time and defending track champion, Clint Garner, was victorious in
the 360 main event.
Madsen started on the pole of the 25-lapper by virtue of his win in the Dash, but it was Swindell who took the
early advantage from outside row one, while Madsen battled Brian Brown for second. At the five lap mark,
Swindell led Madsen, Brown, Donny Schatz and Brad Sweet.
With rubber developing, Madsen found the preferred line on the low side of the track on lap six, while Swindell
was on the cushion in three and four. The result was Madsen holding the lead the rest of the way.
The event went non-stop, save for a lap 24 incident when Sam Hafertepe Jr. contacted Davey Heskin, with both
drivers done for the night. Neither was injured. The green, white, checker finish saw little development as
Madsen was able to hold off Swindell to record his 17th career feature win at Knoxville.
“We have been so close in so many Outlaw shows and something always goes wrong,” said Madsen in Victory
Lane. “I really have to thank Bob and Pete Gavranich for putting this deal together. It’s an awesome,
unbelievable commitment and effort they put behind this USA racing effort. I’d like to thank them for the
opportunity. I really have to thank Rob Hart for the superior effort he’s put into these cars. We didn’t have
much tire left. I didn’t want to abuse my stuff.”
Swindell was second ahead of Brown, Schatz and Sweet. Joey Saldana, Ian Madsen, Terry McCarl, Chad
Kemenah and Craig Dollansky rounded out the top ten. Heats were won by Ryan Bunton, Kerry Madsen,
Sweet and Ian Madsen. Saldana set quick time. Hafertepe won a great battle with Steve Kinser to take the B
main. AJ Moeller and Tasker Phillips were heat race flip victims. Both were uninjured.
Quick-timer, Carson McCarl, had a rough start when contact with another car caused damage to his left front
wheel at the start of the 18-lap 360 feature. Matt Moro took the lead from his starting spot outside of row one
ahead of Ohio visitor, Darren Long.
When McCarl jumped the cushion and slammed the turn two wall with two laps in the books, it set up a restart
that saw Clint Garner take advantage, passing Moro for the lead. The Sioux Falls, South Dakota driver would
sail from there, winning for the 14th time at Knoxville.
“It was a treacherous cushion, but it was to my liking,” said Garner in Victory Lane. “I hope I can win every
night on a track like that…scared to death. There aren’t many people that I race against that would even try it.
Thanks to everyone for coming.”
Moro came home second, ahead of Russ Hall, Tony Shilling and Long. Tyler Groenendyk, Nate Van Haaften,
Nate Mosher, Joe Beaver and RJ Johnson rounded out the top ten. Beaver, Van Haaften and Garner won the
heat races.
Next Saturday, June 16 will be American Cancer Society Relay for Life Night at the Knoxville Raceway. For

McCarl, Garner and Shilling Victorious at Knoxville!
by Bill Wright
KNOXVILLE RACEWAY, Knoxville, IA, June 30, 2012 – Terry McCarl and Clint Garner are certainly no
strangers to Knoxville’s Victory Lane, but Tony Shilling was making his first trip, on Pizza Hut 360 Twin
Features Night at Knoxville. McCarl won for the 52nd time in the 410 class, while Garner took his 15th career
win in the first 360 main event.
Pole-sitter Don Droud Jr. took the lead ahead of fellow front row starter, McCarl, early in the 20-lap 410
feature. When Robby Wolfgang was clipped by Tasker Phillips on the backstretch, bringing the yellow flag out
with four laps in the books. Droud led McCarl, Mark Dobmeier, Dusty Zomer and Chad Meyer back to green
flag action.
McCarl made his winning move on lap eight before Austin Johnson came to a stop. McCarl led Droud,
Dobmeier, Zomer and a surging Davey Heskin on the restart. Another caution spelled disaster for Dobmeier,
who was running second at the time. With twelve laps in the books, he blew his left rear tire. He would record
ninth after restarting at the tail.
On the restart, McCarl led Zomer, Droud, Heskin and Lynton Jeffrey. It was short-lived, as Tasker Phillips did
a wicked series of flips in turn two after contact from another car. He was uninjured. It would prove to be the
last stoppage as McCarl pulled away for win #52.
“When you haven’t won for a while here, you feel like it’s really tough,” said McCarl in Victory Lane. “I
appreciate every one of them. We’re building a team, and we’re slowly getting there. (Zomer and Heskin)
worry me the most. They can run the bottom like Danny Lasoski. I didn’t know what to do with my line.
Sometimes it’s not best to be out front.”
Zomer finished second, ahead of Heskin, Droud and Bronson Maeschen. Ian Madsen, hard-charger, Lynton
Jeffrey, Dustin Selvage, Dobmeier and quick-timer, Ryan Bunton, completed the top ten. McCarl, Dobmeier
and Rager Phillips scored heat wins.
Matt Moro shot out to an early lead in the first 360 A main. By lap five, fellow front row starter, Joe Beaver,
Ryan Roberts and Russ Hall followed him. Casey Friedrichsen suffered mechanical ills and brought out the
caution with five laps in. Two laps later, Shilling and Josh Riggins contacted, sending the latter into the
frontstretch wall. He was unhurt. Garner had moved into fifth at that point, and continued his charge.
By lap 10, he was by Roberts into third, and he took second on a lap 11 restart. Moro tried to hold on, but
Garner was too strong and took the lead to complete lap 13. Garner was never challenged on his way to win
#15. Moro followed home second, followed by Beaver, Randy Martin and Russ Hall.
Roberts, Nate Van Haaften, RJ Johnson, Dennis Moore Jr. and Jeff Swindell completed the top ten.
Friedrichsen registered quick time, while Van Haaften, Lee Grosz and Jon Agan won heats. Friedrichsen also
copped the B.
After a scary lap one crash claimed four cars, Tony Shilling was the master of the second feature after a starting
spot in row four. The first lap incident included Jamie Ball, Dennis Moore Jr., Tyler Groenendyk and Nate
Mosher. All were done for the night.
Alan Ambers followed closely, until Tom Lenz found his way by into second about lap eight. On lap eleven,
the caution flew for a spun Travis Porter. Shilling maintained his lead, while a mad shuffle took place behind
him. In the last five laps, Jeff Swindell completed a strong run from 13th to 2nd.
Jon Agan used a last corner pass to gain third over Tom Lenz and Lee Grosz. Carson McCarl, Van Haaften,
Garner, David Hall and Beaver completed the top ten.
“It’s a lifelong dream,” said Shilling of his victory. “My grandparents have been bringing me here since I was a
little kid. I never knew if I’d get to drive one, but my parents made it possible and my family is my big support.
It’s my dream and I hope there are more to come.”
Next Saturday, July 7 is Wells Fargo fill the stands for Hospice 410 Twin Features Night at the Knoxville
Raceway. For more information, visit www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com!

Henderson, Madsen and Johnson win Knoxville Raceway mains
By Stacy Ervin
Justin Henderson of South Dakota and Ian Madsen of Australia won the feature events on 410 Twin Features
Night and RJ Johnson of Florida won the companion 360 division main on Saturday, July 7, 2012, at Knoxville
Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa.
Henderson started on the pole for the first 20-lap 410 feature event and led every lap in a race that went green to
checkered. That gave him his third career win at the Sprint Car Capital of the World.
He came into traffic on the third lap around and that allowed some of his competitors to close a bit. Outside
front-row starter Terry McCarl stayed in second for the entire race, while behind him there was a good battle
between Dusty Zomer, Davey Heskin and Mark Dobmeier.
A bobble behind a slower car allowed McCarl to close on Henderson briefly but by the end, Henderson had a
half-straightaway lead and had lapped up to the 14th place finisher.
“I love my life. I love being back in the Midwest,” Henderson said in victory lane, noting he had a good run in
Pennsylvania but was glad to have joined a new team recently. “Sprint car racing is awesome.”
Madsen started sixth in the inverted second 20-lap event and bided his time to get his second win at the
speedway. The beginning of the race saw front-row starters Josh Schneiderman and Lynton Jeffrey throw slide
jobs on each other for the point.
Madsen crept up patiently behind the pair until he was able to put on a slide job of his own and wrestle the lead
from Schneiderman in the first turn of the 10th lap. As soon as he made the pass, the yellow flag came out for
Randy Anderson, who had slowed to a stop. Madsen was a bit too anxious on the restart and it was called back
when he got on the gas too soon. The next attempt was better and he stayed in the lead as Mark Dobmeier made
a big move to second.
Dobmeier tried to close on Madsen as the laps wound down, but Ryan Bunton’s left rear tire blew out at lap 16
and Dobmeier’s left rear tire followed suit, bringing out another yellow. Madsen held on to get the win over a
charging Dusty Zomer.
“It’s even better than the first time,” Madsen said of his second win here, as he noted he had come close to
winning earlier this year. “I just knew I couldn’t make any mistakes.”
RJ Johnson started on the pole of the 18-lap 360 feature and led all the laps in a race that went caution-free. He
came to traffic at the sixth lap but managed to stay far ahead of a torrid battle for second place between Ryan
Anderson and Randy Martin.
Coming to the white flag, Johnson misjudged a slower car in front of him, got over the cushion and banged the
wall in turn four. That allowed Anderson to run right up on him but Johnson held on by a slim margin for his
first official win at Knoxville.
“I’ve been here one time before but it didn’t stick,” Johnson said in victory lane, referring to a race he won but
was disqualified for afterward. He noted that the win on this night was a “definite testament” to the fact that
hard work could beat money.
Four new inductees were welcomed into the Knoxville Raceway Hall of Fame on this night. They were former
track champion driver Skip Jackson, former track champion car owner Ken Hesmer, car owner Mike
VanderEcken and longtime official and fair-board member Dwayne Robuck.

Maeschen Breaks Through for First Knoxville Win!
by Bill Wright
KNOXVILLE RACEWAY, Knoxville, IA, June 30, 2012 – Bronson Maeschen has paid his dues in the tough
410 class for seven years at the Knoxville Raceway, and Saturday night it paid off! The Pleasantville, Iowa
driver, who has wins in the 360 and 305 classes, fought back to take a lead he had early and pulled away for a
popular $3,000 win. The race was held in conjunction with the Marion County Fair, and Maeschen also
received a half beef. Kaley Gharst took advantage of his first 360 start of the year at Knoxville to win, and
Mike Van Haaften won for the third straight outing in the 305 class.
Maeschen shot out to an early lead from outside row one with pole-sitter and point leader, Davey Heskin in
tow. With a cushion a little over halfway up the track, Dusty Zomer put four wheels above on the start and
advanced quickly from his starting spot outside of row five to third.
The lead trio had Terry McCarl and Mark Dobmeier behind them when seventh running and quick timer, Ian
Madsen, spun with seven laps in the books. On the restart, Heskin used the low line to pass Maeschen for the
lead. Zomer also tried working by Maeschen to no avail.
Rob Kubli blew a right rear tire and hit the turn one wall, tipping over with twelve laps down. He was o.k. On
the restart, Heskin protected low, while Maeschen blasted around him on the high side and pulled away.
A crash filled night had another one when Austin Johnson and Tasker Phillips got together on the back stretch
and suffered extensive damage to their racecars. Both drivers were uninjured.
Maeschen pulled away on the restart, while Zomer worked by Heskin for the runner-up position at the
checkers. Dobmeier and McCarl followed. Dustin Selvage, Don Droud Jr., Lynton Jeffrey, Madsen and Robby
Wolfgang rounded out the top ten. Josh Schneiderman, Droud and Rager Phillips won heat races.
“We’ve been so close so many times,” said Maeschen of his win afterwards. “Everybody has a lot of
confidence. We planned on winning the first year, and we’ve been down here several years. Second, third,
fourth…we had the car to win several nights and didn’t get it done. We had a terrible restart, and to get back in
first…I’m just wound!”
Kaley Gharst, just coming off an ASCS regional win in Cameron, Missouri the night prior, took the Scadden
Construction #6 from outside row one to lead every lap of the 360 feature for his third career win in the class at
Knoxville. Three-time and defending track champion, Clint Garner moved into second by lap three, but could
do nothing with Gharst, who pulled away on a pair of restarts.
Larry Ball Jr. was running third in Steve Wares #10 when he flipped on lap five. The other red flag came out
when Casey Friedrichsen blew a right rear tire and slammed into the frontstretch wall, flipping wildly. Both
were uninjured.
Gharst and Garner were followed at the checkers by Matt Moro, Jon Agan and Dennis Moore Jr. Josh Higday,
Ryan Roberts, Jamie Veal, Ryan Anderson and hard-charger and B main winner, Nate Van Haaften, rounded
out the top ten.
“He’s been strong here the last few years,” said Gharst of Garner in Victory Lane. “He’s been strong on the top
and bottom. I started getting loose off the bottom of turn four, so I didn’t know if he was catching me or not.
The second to last lap I went up top in case he was there. It was great to beat him, since he is one of the best
360’s around.”
Mike Van Haaften won for the third straight outing in the 305 class by leading every lap. He was able to stave
off several attempts by Matthew Stelzer in the caution plagued event. Before a lap could be completed polesitter, Mike Philben and Mitchell Alexander contacted, eliminating both from the race.
On the fifth lap, third running Alan Ambers and fourth running J Kinder made contact. Only Kinder would
return. A number of other cautions precipitated the move to cut a pair of laps and make it a 13-lap contest.
Van Haaften and Stelzer were followed at the stripe by Dakota Hendrickson, Kinder back from the tail, and Bart
Friedrichsen. Corey Timmerman, Ben Woods, Mike Mayberry, Chris Horton and Andrew Shelton rounded out
the top ten.
“I couldn’t be happier to be here,” said Van Haaften in Victory Lane. “We lost one of our crew members last
Sunday. It’s great to be here in Victory Lane. We had a heavy heart, but the crew members picked up the
slack.”
Thursday, July 19 will be the Harris Clash for Modifieds. NASCAR star Kenny Schrader will be competing.
On Saturday, July 21, the three divisions of sprint will be back in attendance for the popular 3M Night! Come
early and get a bag of 3M supplies! For more information, visit www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com!

Kyle Strickler Wins Dogfight at Harris Clash!
by Bill Wright
KNOXVILLE RACEWAY, Knoxville, IA, July 19, 2012 – Kyle Strickler won a late duel with Jeremy Mills to
win the 21st Annual Harris Clash for IMCA Modifieds on Thursday night at the Knoxville Raceway. It was the
Mooresville, North Carolina driver’s first ever win at the historic half-mile. Roland Iowa’s Matt Lettow won
his second career feature in the Harris Clash in the Sport Mod division.
Strickler gained the early lead from outside row one in the 25-lapper and began to pull away. The race, which
went non-stop, heated up late in the going. Mills gained on the leader and took the point by a nose on lap 23.
The pair dueled the final two laps with Strickler running Mills above the cushion a bit in turns three and four to
hold him off.
“I don’t know what to say,” said Strickler in Victory Lane. “The car was pretty good. I don’t know what was
wrong under the hood, but there was something covering my shield late in the going. This is just unreal. This
is the biggest win of my career. I have to thank everyone who has ever worked on my racecars.”
Joel Rust led early in the 20-lap Sport Mod feature. Matt Lettow began to challenge just before the halfway
mark and made the winning pass on lap eleven. He held off the field despite a caution with two laps to go.
On Saturday, July 21, the three divisions of sprint cars will be back in attendance for the popular 3M Night!
Come early and get a bag of 3M supplies! For more information, visit www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com!

Brian Brown Doubles Up at Knoxville!
by Bill Wright
KNOXVILLE RACEWAY, Knoxville, IA, July 21, 2012 – Brian Brown waited until the last lap of the 410
feature, but he made it count as he pulled off a pair of wins, adding to the one earlier in the night in the 360
class in front of a crowded grandstand on 3M Night. The Grain Valley, Missouri driver posted his 21st and 11th
in the two classes, respectively. The 410 win tied him with Eddie Leavitt for tenth on the all-time win record at
Knoxville Raceway. J Kinder picked up his first career win at Knoxville in the 305 sprint car class. Tony Moro
and Bret Moyer added wins in two special Dirt Truck features.
Terry McCarl launched into the lead to start the 20-lap 410 feature. Things came to a halt with three laps in the
books. Austin Johnson was forced above the cushion by another competitor and tagged the backstretch wall.
That forced him into a fishtail, and Don Droud Jr. could not avoid him. Johnson got upside down, but was
uninjured.
The restart saw McCarl leading Ian Madsen, Bronson Maeschen, Brown and Dusty Zomer back to green flag
racing. Mark Dobmeier had already moved from 18th to 8th, and two laps later was in the top five. Brown slid
into second shortly after the restart.
Dustin Selvage flipped hard while running sixth with seven laps in the books bringing out another red flag. The
crash collected a tenth place running Ryan Bunton. Both drivers were uninjured, but done.
The last thirteen laps ran non-stop. By the halfway mark, Brown was closing on McCarl, with Maeschen
running third ahead of Dobmeier and Davey Heskin, up from row five. Heskin shot by Dobmeier on lap 11,
and disposed of Maeschen for third a few laps later.
Meanwhile, up front, Brown was dogging McCarl the final seven laps. Entering turn three on the final lap, a
lapped car got a little sideways in front of McCarl, who chose the low line. Brown busted it up on the cushion
and shot by to take the lead and the win.
“I knew (McCarl) moved down,” said Brown in Victory Lane. “He probably thought there was rubber there,
and there probably was. Grandpa has always told me, ‘You are not going to pass them on the white flag by
following them.’ That kind of left us an open lane and the lapped traffic worked out for us. I’m tickled to death
for our whole team. They work their (butts) off and I am the one who gets the accolades. Being tenth all time
on the list here, that means a lot. I never thought I would win one feature here.”
Heskin followed Brown and McCarl across the stripe. Maeschen was fourth, ahead of Dobmeier. Madsen,
Lynton Jeffrey, Zomer, Rager Phillips and Mike Moore rounded out the top ten. Heskin set quick time, and
Bunton, Zomer and Josh Schneiderman won heat races.
Jon Agan was the early leader in the 15-lap 360 feature. Jordan Boston came to a stop bringing out the caution
with three laps in the books and setting up an exciting restart that saw Agan ahead of RJ Johnson, Brown, Jesse
Giannetto and Ricky Montgomery. Brown made some contact with Johnson on the restart. Johnson was able to
save it and keep rolling. Meanwhile, Giannetto took full advantage and cruised into second. Brown would
recover and take the spot two laps later.
Brown began running down the leader and in dense traffic, took the point on lap nine. Clint Garner moved up
from row five to overtake Agan for second with three laps to go, while Brown pulled away for his eleventh
career 360 win at Knoxville.
“First of all, I need to apologize to Mr. Johnson,” said Brown in Victory Lane. “I got into him a little bit on the
restart. That messed my nose wing up, and he was running a good race. That was 100% my fault. We had a
good car all night long. We didn’t qualify so well, but I have to thank everyone who makes it possible. We
need to come back next week and give it another shot.”
Johnson bounced back to pass Again for third on the final lap, but got above the cushion in turn four and lost
the spot again. Giannetto was fifth in Steve Wares #10. Nate Van Haaften, Joe Beaver, Montgomery, Dennis
Moore Jr. and Russ Hall rounded out the top ten. Matt Moro posted quick time, while Agan, Brown and Josh
Higday won heat races. Tony Shilling won the B.
J Kinder led the distance in the non-stop 12-lap 305 feature. Using the low groove, he pulled away steadily
from the field, building over a five second lead to cash in his first career Knoxville win. Point leader, Matthew
Stelzer was on the move behind him, advancing in a good battle with Mike Van Haaften to take third behind
Alan Ambers.
Van Haaften settled for fourth ahead of Corey Timmerman. Dakota Hendrickson, Bart Friedrichsen, Mitchell
Alexander, Bob Hildreth and Cody Ambers rounded out the top ten. Stelzer, Kinder and Hendrickson were heat
winner. Stelzer also posted quick time.
“This is awesome,” said Kinder in Victory Lane. “I don’t even know what to say. I’ve been coming up here a
lot of years, and we’ve been working on getting better every week. It finally worked out for us. I didn’t know
where they were, but the bottom was good for us. It sounds like we were good to go!”
Tony Moro took the lead with two laps to go in the first Dirt Truck feature in an exciting win. Bret Moyer
followed that up with a win of his own in a 10-lap feature that was inverted from the first.
On Saturday, July 28, the three divisions of sprint cars will be back in attendance for Candi’s Flowers Night!

Saturday Before Southern Iowa Sprint Week Belongs to Terry McCarl!
by Bill Wright
KNOXVILLE RACEWAY, Knoxville, IA, July 28, 2012 – Terry McCarl claimed career win #53 at the
Knoxville Raceway on Saturday night, leading all 20 laps. The Altoona, Iowa driver inched closer to point
leader, Davey Heskin as Southern Iowa Sprint Week looms ahead, and just two point races remain in the
Knoxville Championship Cup Series. Matt Moro won for the eighth time in his career in the 360 class. The
Arnold Motor Supply 360 Nationals will dominate this week’s schedule. Point leader, Matthew Stelzer won his
first career feature at Knoxville in the 305 class.
The 410 feature was plagued by several cautions. McCarl led throughout from outside the front row. AJ
Moeller spun into the turn three wall while running ninth with two laps in the books. At the same time, Tim
Kaeding retired from fifth with a smoking power plant. Ian Madsen also needed to replace a bent right rear
wheel.
McCarl led Bronson Maeschen, Brian Brown, Steve Smith and Don Droud Jr. back to green flag racing on the
restart. A lap later, Brown was able to shoot by Maeschen, and began chasing the leader. Maeschen would
retire at the halfway point when he came to a stop with motor issues.
Meanwhile, Kyle Larson, making his first career winged appearance at Knoxville, was on the move. After
being disqualified from his heat for changing a right rear tire, he won the B main and started 21st in the main
event. By lap 12 he was up to fourth. Unfortunately, he was sidelined with mechanical issues. The series of
cautions put clean air out front for McCarl, with Brown in tow.
Droud climbed past Stevie Smith into third on lap 14, and followed the lead pair to the checkers. Smith and
Dusty Zomer followed. Jac Haudenschild, Brad Sweet, Heskin, Lynton Jeffrey and Mark Dobmeier completed
the top ten. Brown set quick time, and Zomer, Heskin, Sweet and Lynton Jeffrey won heat races.
“You never know what you are doing out front with Brian behind you,” said McCarl in Victory Lane. “Like
last week, you don’t want to count your chickens before they’re hatched. Brian has one of the top teams in the
nation, so to have him and all the other drivers we had tonight…it’s great to have Knoxville guys like Don and
me on the podium.”
Carson McCarl led early in the 18-lap feature from the pole. Matt Moro cruised into second, and on lap four,
moved under the leader to the point. Brian Brown was on the move as well, getting by McCarl for second a lap
later.
The event went non-stop, with Brown chasing Moro into traffic. The leader worked well through the
backmarkers, giving Brown little chance to get by. Quick timer Jac Haudenschild rounded out the top three,
moving up from outside row four. The lead trio raced in close proximity the final half of the race.
Jon Agan was fourth, ahead of Dennis Moore Jr. McCarl, Henry Van Dam, RJ Johnson, hard-charger, Roger
Crockett and Clint Garner rounded out the top ten. Josh Higday, Tim Kaeding, Johnson and Russ Hall won heat
races. Crockett won the B.
“It seems like a long time since we’ve been here,” said Moro in Victory Lane. “I’ve got to thank my crew.
What a fun race that was. Carson and I slid by each other. It was just a blast. We’ve had a rough year with
engines. Lee Nelson has this Ostrich Racing Engine just screaming out here.”
After three full years of trying, 305 point leader, Matthew Stelzer finally broke through with an emotional first
win. Bill Boles led from the pole for two laps, before Mike Van Haaften took over. Stelzer, who posted quick
time, was working his way up from the eighth starting spot.
Stelzer pounced on a late caution to get by Van Haaften and pull away for the win. “This feels good,” he said.
“This is a dream come true. My grandparents have been bringing me here since I was eight years old, and we
finally did it.”
The Arnold Motor Supply 360 Nationals are next up! They will begin Thursday night, and run through
Saturday. For more information, visit www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com!

Danny Lasoski Edges Jonathan Cornell on Night #1 of 360 Nationals!
by Bill Wright
KNOXVILLE RACEWAY, Knoxville, IA, August 2, 2012 – With 56 drivers in the house on the Thursday
night opening of the 22nd Annual Arnold Motor Supply 360 Nationals, it was a trio of “Show Me State” drivers
who stole the show. Danny Lasoski registered his second career 360 win (his previous one was a 360 Nationals
championship in 1996) on night #1. The win followed a racelong duel with fellow Missouri driver Jonathan
Cornell. Brian Brown, from Grain Valley, Missouri charged from 19th to 2nd in a hotly contested event.
Cornell, from Sedalia, led at the outset from the pole position with Lasoski in tow. The pair pulled away from
the field, before Lasoski made a pass on the bottom to lead lap five. A seventh place running Randy Hannagan
suffered mechanical problems and stopped on the next circuit, setting up a restart that saw Lasoski leading
Cornell, Ryan Anderson, Jack Dover and Kevin Swindell back to green.
Dover moved into the top three by lap seven, but the lead pair left the field behind again. With the bottom
going away slightly, Cornell gained on Lasoski and took the point on laps twelve and thirteen in some
outstanding action. Lasoski got back to the front on lap 14 in the Mark Burch Motorsports #1m. B main
winner, Terry McCarl, brought out the final caution with 16 laps in the books setting up a four lap dash to the
finish.
While Cornell continued to hound Lasoski, Swindell moved into third and Brown into the top five. On the
white flag lap, Cornell looked to have the momentum in turns three and four and made a run at the leader.
Unfortunately for him, his left rear tire shredded and he coasted home fifth. Brown shot by for second with a
strong finish, followed by Swindell and Dover. Brad Sweet, Brady Bacon, Paul McMahan, Anderson and Kyle
Larson rounded out the top ten.
“I want to thank Mark Burch for giving me the opportunity to drive his racecar,” said Lasoski in Victory Lane.
“The guy does a heck of a job. He builds his own cars and engines. Jonathan and I had a heck of a race. He
got to searching around and found the middle. Once I found it, we were pretty good. He did a good job.”
Clint Garner set quick time over the field. Larson, Tony Shilling, Danny Jennings, Jesse Giannetto and
Hannagan won the heats. Ryan Roberts won the C main.
Bacon and Swindell emerged with high point honors, with each scoring 480, followed by Lasoski (479), Dover
(471), McMahan (467), Garner (464), Cornell (462), Anderson (459), Sweet (451) and Hannagan (448).

Tatnell Tops Night Two at 360 Knoxville Nationals
Bryan Hulbert - Knoxville, Iowa (August 3, 2012) Brooke Tatnell is no stranger to victory lane at the famed
Knoxville Raceway, but not so much in the ASCS 360 division. That all changed on Friday night as the
Australian grabbed night two of the 22n annual Arnold Motor Supply 360 Knoxville Nationals.
Taking off from the third spot, the Pro Fab Engineering No. 14t would fall back one as Tony Bruce Jr. took off
from the pole. Gaining a comfortable advantage from the word go, the Oil Medics No. 18 would soon be stalked
by the No. 9p of Rager Phillips.
Taking the field to lap seven, Phillips would get the run for the race lead; taking the top spot on the eighth goround.
Following Phillips by the No. 18, the runner up spot would be filled by Tatnell before the caution flew on lap
nine for the Hard Core Speed Shop No. 09 of Matt Juhl who came to a rest at the top of turn two. Juhl would
restart as the Phillips worked high and low to hold off the charge of Brook Tatnell on the restart.
Finding the moisture off the inside line, the Ostrich powered No. 14t would bolt into the race lead on the
eleventh time around.
Racing off into slower traffic, Tatnell would pull to a sizable advantage as the fight on the track raged mid pack
with Shane Stewart and Tim Shaffer on the move. Pulling just outside the top five, the battle on the speedway
was for third as Tim Kaeding and Dusty Zomer went after Rager Phillips.
Clicking into the final five laps, the green stayed displayed with Brooke Tatnell continuing to pull away over
the battle for the podium. Making quick work of third, Kaeding would jump into second with the Bargain Barn
Tire Center No. 91 of Dusty Zomer in tow as the white flag was set to wave.
Set on cruise, Brook Tatnell would go unchallenged to his first ASCS win at the Knoxville Raceway. Tim
Kaeding would cross the line second with Dusty Zomer making up the podium. Roger Crockett would take
fourth with Rager Phillips settling for fifth.
Tim Shaffer would climb from thirteenth to sixth with Shane Stewart seventh. Wayne Johnson crossed he stripe
eighth with Jason Myers and Jason Johnson rounding out the top ten.

It’s all Shane Stewart in Knoxville
Bryan Hulbert/Bill Wright - Knoxville, Iowa (August 4, 2012) The first four time champion has been crowned
as the Kick It for Cancer/Jeff Gordon Foundation No. 57 of Shane Stewart went uncontested in Saturday night’s
25 lap Arnold Motor Supply 360 Knoxville Nationals feature event.
“That car in the A-Main was just flawless” ommented Stewart in Victory Lane. “I’m not even worried about the
other nationals right now I’m just going to celebrate these nationals.”
Called back on a false start, Stewart was able still able to get the jump into the top spot. Racing to a straight-away advantage in the three laps as Roger Crockett gave chase with Kevin Swindell and Brady Bacon moving in
to battle for the runner up spot.
With the preferred line quickly moving up the racing surface, lapped traffic would force Stewart to utilize the
slide job. Even so, the Bixby native pulled to a 2.435 second advantage by lap fifteen with the battle on the
track shaping up for second with the Wrapexperts.com No. 39 of Kevin Swindell moving in for the runner up
spot.
Making the pass on the fourteenth round, Swindell nearly gave the position back. Taking a full head of steam on
the cushion in turns three and four, Swindell would stand the front end high with Crockett and Bacon within
striking distance. Hold the runner up spot Swindell would now be chased by the Fatheadz Eyewear No. 99 as
Brady Bacon dropped Crockett to third.
Moving on the high side, the top five would spread out evenly as the field raced by lap sixteen. Outside the top
five, several drivers were on the move as Brooke Tatnell made the pass for sixth with Jack Dover holding
seventh. Dicing up behind that, Danny Lasoski and Wayne Johnson battled for eighth with the Parker Burch
Motorsports No. 1m holding he advantage.
Moving into the final seven laps, Stewart continued to lead but the driver getting the crowd’s attention was
Brian Brown. Taking the final transfer spot out of the B-Feature, the FVP No. 21 would crack the top ten with
seven to run and more to gain; taking eighth on the next go round.
Lapping past twelfth, the advantage was 4.029 second as Shane Stewart raced under the double checkered flags
for the night’s $10,000 payday. Kevin Swindell was second with Brady Bacon making up the podium. Making a
late race charge from seventh, Jack Dover would take fourth with Roger Crockett fading to round out the top
five.
Dustin Zomer was sixth with Danny Lasoski seventh. Brian Brown would end up eighth with Wayne Johnson
and Tim Kaeding rounding out the top ten.
In 305 action, it was the brothers Friedrichsen finishing 1-2! Casey Friedrichsen started sixth and was into third
by the second lap. He would take the lead from brother Bart on a lap five restart, and cruise the rest of the way
to his first ever Knoxville Raceway win!
“I’m not sure I quite cleared him as clean as I should of,” said Casey of his pass of brother Bart. “For us to
finish one-two…it’s phenomenal!”
Behind the Friedrichsens’ were Alan Ambers, Matt Stephenson and Mitchell Alexander. Bill Boles, Mark

Maeschen Flawless in Inaugural Capitani Classic
Bryan Hulbert/Bill Wright - Knoxville, Iowa (August 5, 2012) Taking off from the pole, Bronson Maeschen
wired the field en-route to victory in the 1st annual Ralph Capitani Classic over the hard charging Tim Shaffer.
Asked about what it meant to capture the Capitani classic, the Pleasantville, Iowa racer was elated, “This is
pretty awesome. It took us years to get the first now to get a couple in the same month. We didn’t do any
winning when Capi was around so I’m glad he’s back and I got to win with him up here.”
Taking off to a nearly three second advantage by lap two, the caution lights would blink on around the
Knoxville Raceway on lap three for the spun No. 1k of Kyle Larson.
Single file past the cone, Maeschen would utilize the inside line to again pull to a commanding lead as the battle
on the racetrack was for third with Joey Saldana in pursuit of team mate Cody Darrah. Keeping pace on the top
groove, the KKR No. 9 of Saldana would settle into fourth as Darrah held the show position.
Moving back in the field the next battle on the surface stretched from sixth to tenth as Brian Brown looked to
hold off Danny Lasoski, Tim Kaeding, Daryn Pittman, and the hard charging Shane Stewart.
Getting the pass into eighth, the Kick it for Children’s Cancer No. 57 would begin battling with Brown. Holding
sixth, the FVP No. 21 would ultimately succumb to pressure from Tim Kaeding as the Roth Motorsports No. 83
drove back into contention.
Back at the front of the field, Maeschen was out to another three second advantage with only ten laps in the
books and the back of the field in sight. With his advantage now in jeopardy, the Keenist Implement Detailing
No. 96 would see his preferred low line blocked as the C.H. Motorsports No. 83 ran full tilt on clear racetrack.
Bumper to Bumper with ten laps to go both drivers dove to the inside of turns one and two. Looking for the pass
in turn three, Shaffer would have to hit the brakes as a slower car dropped into the fast lane; giving Maeschen
an eight car length advantage.
Into more slower traffic with laps clicking off the scoreboard, the final five laps would see Maeschen and
Shaffer having to hit their marks perfectly as the pair mingled amongst the back markers. Working into the final
two laps, the run for the lead was on as Tim Shaffer lined up only to be held up again by traffic while Bronson
Maeschen raced to his second career victory at the Knoxville Raceway.
Tim Shaffer would settle for the runner up spot with Joey Saldana getting the late race pass into third. Cody
Darrah was fourth with Tim Kaeding clawing from thirteenth to fifth.
Brad Sweet crossed the line sixth with Brian Brown seventh. Jason Johnson, who was an alternate in the nights
feature before Donny Schatz scratched from the line-up drove from twenty-third to eighth with Danny Lasoski
and fifteenth starting Shane Stewart making up the top ten.

Larson takes Goodyear Knoxville Nationals Opener
Bryan Hulbert - Knoxville, Iowa (August 8, 2012) Kyle Larson has already proven beyond the shadow of a
doubt that he is among the best drivers in the nation. Putting an exclamation point on his young career the Elk
Grove, California racer grabbed the rain delayed opening night win of the 52nd Goodyear Knoxville Nationals.
“We were really good in clean air there. It’s such a big deal and we’ve never really been out front like that in
clean air and the car was really operating once I got out front” commented Larson in victory lane.
Asked about the race in general Larson replied, “Those restarts were getting me kind of nervous. I could see the
15 inching up on the board every time. I didn’t like that but I just had to make sure I got a clean restart and got
through one and two nice and make sure I didn’t blow a left rear tire cause I was worried about that a lot.”
Taking off third, the Abreu Vineyard No. 1k would settle in behind Jason Sides, Randy Hannagan, and early
leader Davey Heskin. Holding off several challenges from Brian Paulus, Larson would focus his attention on
Jason Sides.
Running away at the front of the field, the back of the field was in sight by lap seventeen as Heskin tempted fate
with daring three wide passes. Holding a fair amount of breathing room, the Deluxe Crates No. 56 continued his
march around the back markers as the battle on track turned to fifth.
In pursuit of Brian Paulus, four time World of Outlaws champion Donny Schatz would work low on the TearOff Appeal No. 28 with Paulus able to hold on to the fifth spot.
Coming around to complete lap twelve, the caution would fly as the No. 02 of Mike Reinke slowed to a stop on
the high side of turn four. As the caution flew for Reinke, a puff of smoke and flash of flames would send the
No. 1x of Randy Hannagan out of the runner up spot and into the pits. Hannagan would be joined by Kerry
Madsen as both drivers saw engines expiring. Reinke would be scored twenty-fourth with Madsen twenty-third,
and Hannagan twenty-second.
Retaking the green Davey Heskin would see the top spot taken away as Jason Sides pulled off the slide job in
turns one and two. With Sides pulling to an immediate advantage, Kyle Larson worked by Heskin for the runner
up spot.
Working to complete lap fourteen, Jason Sides would see his night come an abrupt end as the left-rear tire
exploded midway thought turns one and two, whipping Sides around before sending the Wetherington Tractor
Service No. 7s flipping.
Able to restart after a visit to the work area, Sides would ultimately see his night end two laps later; coming to a
stop inside turns three and four. Jason would be scored twentieth.
Assuming the race lead, Larson would be trailed by Heskin, Paulus, Schatz, and Lucas Wolfe with four laps to
run. Taking away second on the restart, Paulus would begin reeling in Larson until mechanical problems saw
the No. 28 slowing and the caution waving with one lap to run.
Taking the green for the final time, Kyle Larson would go unchallenged for the preliminary night victory with
Davey Heskin holding off several late race charges from Donny Schatz for second. Racing into the nights
feature from the B-Main, Craig Dollansky would finish an impressive fourth with Lucas Wolfe round out the
top five. Brooke Tatnell finished sixth with Shane Stewart, who also transferred from the B-Main, taking
seventh. Joey Saldana was eighth with Dustin Selvage and Jonathan Allard making up the top ten.
Racing continues at the 52nd Goodyear Knoxville Nationals Thursday with hot laps and qualifying scheduled to
begin at 7:15pm. For more information on the 52nd Goodyear Knoxville Nationals and Knoxville Raceway log

It's Meyers on Night Two in Knoxville
Bryan Hulbert / Bill Wright - Knoxville, Iowa (August 9, 2012) Despite begin out the racing for nearly four
months, defending STP World of Outlaws Champion Jason Meyers stood in victory lane on night two of the
52nd Goodyear Knoxville Nationals.
With the crowd screaming in approval, the driver of the Tarlton and Sons No. 21m let out his own ecstatic yell
to begin his post-race interview.
“Feels awesome, love it. I tell you what you know there is nothing that makes me happier than making others
happy and for Tom Tarlton and Tommy Tarlton to take a chance on me, giving me this chance and everybody
that’s supporting us I know that Tommy, Guy, and everyone back home they told me they weren’t come out
here this week but I think maybe they might have to get on a plane and come hang out.”
Starting the feature third, Meyers would chase Mark Dobmeier and Greg Hodnett into turns one and two.
Taking the early advantage, the No. 13v would set sail as the fight to be in the top five heated up with Sammy
Swindell on the hammer. Taking fourth with a high side pass, Swindell’s run would end on lap twenty-one with
a broken drive-line. Swindell would be scored twenty-third.
Working towards the tail end of the field, the leaders would see clear track as the caution waved with eighteen
laps to run when second running Greg Hodnett rolled to a stop exiting turn four.
Back underway Danny Lasoski found all roads blocked with the spinning No. 55 of Ian Madsen. Flipping on the
back straight-a-way, the Zemco No. 1m would be done with a twenty-third place finish. Ian Madsen would
rejoin the field after having to change the right rear tire.
Still at eighteen laps remaining Jason Meyers would waste no time taking off into the race lead with a low line
pass on Dobmeier.
Battling for third, sixth starting Stevie Smith would work past the MVT No. 11k of Kraig Kinser. Getting the
run on Dobmeier for the runner up spot, Smith’s run would stall as the No. 13v held the position.
Working past the halfway point of the night’s 25 lap feature event, Jason Meyers would continue to lead with
Dobmeier second and Smith third. Battling from fifteenth, Tim Schaffer would run fourth with Kraig Kinser
falling back to fifth before the caution waved with ten laps remaining for the No. 91 of Dusty Zomer.
Battling into the night’s feature via the B-Main, twenty-second starting Zomer was tenth when his left rear tire
exploded entering turn one, sending Zomer into the wall. Dusty would be scored twenty-first.
Back underway for the final ten laps, the C.H. Motorsports No.83 of Tim Shaffer carried a huge run to the
bottom line for the pass on Stevie Smith. Not to be outdone, the No. 19 of Smith would take to the high line,
bolting by Shaffer and Dobmeier for second only to see Tim Shaffer racing back by for the runner up spot with
Kraig Kinser in tow.
With the back once again in sight, Tim Shaffer was within three car lengths of Jason Meyer as the field crossed
the stripe with two laps to run. Inching closer and closer, Shaffer would go for the lead only to be held up by a
lapped car allowing Jason Meyers to race to his third career win at the famed Knoxville Raceway.
Tim Shaffer would take second with Kraig Kinser rounding out the podium. Stevie Smith would settle for forth
with Lance Dewease climbing from ninth to round out the top five. Mark Dobmeier would end up sixth with
Jason Johnson seventh. Racing in from the B-Main, Tim Kaeding fought from twenty-first to eighth with Brian
Brown and Johnny Herrera rounding out the top ten.

Drama Abounds as Henderson Triumphs at Knoxville
Bryan Hulbert - Knoxville, Iowa (August 10, 2012) Finding himself mired deep in the B-Feature on Saturday,
Justin Henderson took advantage of the new Friday night format at the Knoxville Nationals with drama filled
race to the win.
“It’s been a roller coaster of a week. I’m so excited I can’t even talk right now” commented Henderson. “This
new format threw us for a loop tonight. We didn’t know what to think about it. It’s not all bad I guess since we
would have been starting eleventh in the B-Main under normal circumstances, so to come out here and win this
race is kind of a historic night.”
Firing from the sixth position, the Buffalo Wild Wings No. 82 watched as Cody Darrah capitalized on an
outside front row starting position to lead the way.
After falling back to the runner up spot on the start David Gravel was quick to get back in contention for the
win, battling to the inside line before taking it up to the fence to grab the lead from Darrah on lap four. Battling
back on the berm, Darrah would set in as Dale Blaney waited for his chance.
Slowing for a caution on lap nine, Danny Lasoski saw his gamble go south as “The Dude” suffered a flat right
rear tire. Able to limp around to the work area, the Zemco No. 1z would restart at the tail of the field as Gravel
led the field to the green with Darrah, Blaney, Holtgraver, and Justin Henderson making up the top five.
Planting the right rear on the cushion, Henderson would jump two spots to third with more on the way only to
see the caution lights blink on with fourteen laps remaining as Jeff Swindell spun to a stop in turn three.
Swindell would continue.
On the move with the green flag waving, Justin Henderson continued to utilize the top side, taking away the
runner up spot with eleven laps to run. Fading back to fifth in the midpoint of the race, Dale Blaney would
make his way back into the top three on lap sixteen as the battle for the lead shaped up.
Henderson to the top, Gravel to the bottom, and slower cars approaching would see the top two drivers
swapping lines as Henderson dropped to the middle of the track; forcing Gravel to take to the cushion as the
pair took the battle three wide with the back markers.
Tripping the cushion, Gravel would lose some ground but not enough to drop the No. 89g out of the battle as
Gravel worked back side by side for the race lead.
With only four spots holding the key to Saturday’s $150,000 to win feature event, the battles for the final
transfer spots were a sight to behold as Dale Blaney worked on some insurance with the pass on Cody Darrah
for third. Sitting on the bubble, the No. 4 would see his night almost for not as Kerry Madsen fired into fourth
with the white flag waving.
Battling into turns one and two for the final spot into Saturday’s big show, the battle for the lead worked off
turn four with Justin Henderson taking the win. David Gravel crossed the line second with Dale Blaney
rounding out the podium. Seeing his night going away, Cody Darrah put his K.K.R. No. 4 back into the show in
the final two turns of the nights feature making Kerry Madsen the first driver outside the transfer in fifth.
Chad Kemanah would climb from sixteenth to sixth with Terry McCarl seventh. Dustin Zomer took eighth after
starting fourteenth with Steve Kinser ninth and Danny Holtgraver fading to ultimately round out the top ten.
Schatz Preps For Saturday With World Challenge Domination
Friday, August 10, 2012 KNOXVILLE, Iowa — Donny Schatz announced himself as the favorite to win
Saturday night’s 52nd annual Goodyear Knoxville Nationals with a dominant victory in Friday night’s SPEED
SPORT Knoxville World Challenge at Knoxville Raceway.
Schatz started ninth and romped his Tony Stewart Racing No. 15 to third by lap five.
He jumped to second on a lap-six restart and stormed around Sammy Swindell for the lead only one lap of the
half-mile oval later.
From there, he steadily pulled away to win the race which was in its 19th season, for the third time, earning
$10,000 for 20 laps of work.
“If we don’t win anything else this weekend, we won tonight,” said Schatz, who will start fifth on Saturday
night in a quest to win the $150,000-to-win classic for the sixth time in the past seven years. “That is an
awesome race car. These guys have worked their tails off to get this car this good and that is the most fun race
car that I’ve driven. I think we’re in a good position for tomorrow night.
“Anything can happen at this race. What happens tonight definitely doesn’t have any bearing on tomorrow. It
was a fun race. You ponder on whether you want to risk tearing everything up, but it is a race and it is what we
do.”
Swindell finished second with Jason Meyers, Craig Dollansky and Tim Shaffer completing the top five.
The 52nd Goodyear Knoxville Nationals concludes Saturday August 11, 2012 with racing scheduled to get
underway at 8pm. For more information on the 52nd Goodyear Knoxville Nationals and all events at the

Donny Schatz Holds on for Sixth Nationals Championship
Bryan Hulbert / Bill Wright - Knoxville, Iowa (August 11, 2012) Donny Schatz served notice Friday night that
he was going to be the driver to beat and for the sixth time in the past seven years, the STP No. 15 rolled into
victory lane at the Goodyear Knoxville Nationals.
Asked if the sixth time felt as good as the first time, Schatz exhaustingly replied, “I think it was the hardest one
to win.” Pausing for a moment, the six time Nationals Champion continued, “Man I burned the tires off of it. I
just couldn’t get myself feeling very good and I knew someone would be coming those last few laps. It was
everything I could do to keep it going forward. Last night was a lot of fun, tonight was a lot harder but it feels
great.”
Rolling off fifth, Schatz would jump to third on the start as Stevie Smith took off into the lead with Jonathan
Allard setting into the runner up spot.
Working the high line of the Knoxville Raceway, the top three began to motor away as the battle on the track
shaped up for seventh as Kraig Kinser began to work on Joey Saldana. Holding the spot on the high side, Kinser
would finally make the move a few laps later.
Back to the front of the field, Schatz would begin to make his march to the front. Taking the runner up spot off
the bottom of turn four on lap six, the STP No. 15 would drop Jonathan Allard to third quickly followed by the
Big Game Tree Stands No. 7 of Craig Dollansky who made the pass for the show position on lap eight.
Working into slower traffic at the tenth round, Stevie Smith would begin to feel the pressure form Schatz.
Pulling even with Smith on the low line with thirty-nine laps to go, the “Black Bandit” would hold on to the top
spot. With slower traffic looming, Schatz would seize his opportunity the following lap, pulling off the slide job
on Smith exiting turn four.
Less than five laps from the mid-way pit stop, Dollansky would continue to march his way back to the front of
the field. Falling back to fourth after starting outside the front row, “The Crowd Pleaser” would utilize the slide
job to take the runner up spot.
Working into the mix after spending much of the first half riding fifth, Brian Brown would begin making strides
with the pass for third on Stevie Smith just three laps prior to the mid race break.
Racing amongst the back markers, the caution would finally wave as the midway break gave crews 5 min. to
make any changes necessary.
Back to green, Donny Schatz would quickly stretch his lead to over 2.5 seconds. Moving into the final twenty
laps, Schatz would lead with Dollansky, Brown, and Meyers with Smith making up the top five.
With the tail of the field approaching, the caution would bring clean track to the leaders as the No. 1k of Kyle
Larson stopped with a flat on lap thirty-four. Larson would rejoin the race despite not changing a broken right
rear shock.
Back on the hammer, Craig Dollansky would make a bid for the lead. Diving to the berm, Dollansky’s run
would stall leaving the door wide open for Brian Brown. Taking a huge run to the bottom groove entering turn
three, the Casey’s General Store No.21 would exit turn four with the runner up spot and only thirteen laps to
run.
Slashing his disadvantage from 1.5 seconds to only sixth-tenths the Grain Valley, Missouri driver would bring
the fans to their feet; pulling to the back bumper of the TSR No. 15 with only ten laps on the scoreboard.
Slipping up slightly in turn two, Brown would see his disadvantage jump back to over 1.5 seconds as both
drivers neither lost nor gain on lap nine with Schatz and Brown both slamming the cushion on the exit of turn
two.
Back on the heels of traffic with seven laps to run, Donny Schatz would have his hands full with Brian Brown
again closing in. Working top to bottom on the Knoxville Raceway, the FVP No. 21 was back in the hunt as the
leaders raced to five to go.
Held up by Cody Darrah with three laps remaining, Schatz would be forced out of the groove causing the four
time World of Outlaws Championship to fry the tires; allowing Brown to close within two car lengths as the
green flag waved to signify the final two laps.
Jumping the cushion, the chance at victory looked to be gone for Brown as Donny Schatz raced under the white
flag but as Brown exited turn two for the final time the run was on for the race lead. Into the final two turns,
Brown shot high as Schatz dove low. Reeling in Schatz, Brown would dive off the top for the pass at the line
but as the checkered flag flew it was Donny Schatz taking his sixth Goodyear Knoxville Nationals
Championship by 0.117 seconds.
Taking his best finish at the Knoxville Nationals, Brian Brown crossed second with Craig Dollansky holding on
the round out the podium.
Charging into the top five on lap twenty-three, Kraig Kinser would climb from ninth to fourth with Jason
Meyers settling for fifth. Shane Stewart would mount another impressive Knoxville charge coming from
thirteenth to sixth with Stevie Smith crossing the line seventh. Lance Dewease was eighth followed by Tim
Kaeding with Davey Heskin, who raced into the show from the B-Main, charging from twenty-second to round
out the top ten.

Sunday, September 02, 2012- By Bob Wilson
KNOXVILLE, Ia (September 1) – Knoxville Raceway crowned three new champions during its 59th annual
Lucas Oil Cup Series Season Championships. Terry McCarl, Des Moines, IA was a narrow winner in the 410
division and wrapped up his 7th title, one less than the all-time record held by Danny Lasoski. Clint Garner,
Sioux Falls, SD claimed his fourth 360 championship while Matthew Stelzer, Omaha, NE was crowned as the
top dog in the 305 class.
The 410 feature saw Davey Heskin win his third feature of the season in capturing the 25-lap season finale for
that division. Heskin led the distance while riding the bottom of the track and gained a payday of $3,500. A
battle raged behind him for the runner-up spot as first Joey Moughan then Justin Henderson and finally Bronson
Maeschen held that spot. Finishing in third was Henderson and Mark Dobmeier took fourth after making a lap
19 pass of McCarl. McCarl held that spot to the finish in the fifth spot which was good enough to give him the
2012 track title. Rounding out the top ten were Dusty Zomer, Moughan, Josh Schneiderman, Don Droud Jr. and
Ryan Bunton.
In the 360 feature event 2012 track champion Clint Garner roared out to the lead after gaining that spot on lap
four and looked to be on his way to a win. Suddenly from the fourth row substitute driver Dusty Zomer roared
into contention after a number of yellow flag events slowed the opening laps. Just after the half-way point he
made a pass of second place Randy Martin who had just taken that spot from Ryan Anderson who went up in
smoke exiting the race at that point. Two laps later Zomer made a pass of leader Garner as they exited turn two.
Zomer then went on to claim the $1,500-to-win event and only his second feature event win in that division.
Winning the 305 season finale was Larry Ball Jr. He overtook race leader Bart Friedrichsen on a lap nine
restart. Trailing him to the finish line was Friedrichsen, Mathew Stelzer, Mike Van Haaften and Matt
Stevenson. The win paid Ball $600.

Coolbeth Jr. Captures Big AMA Pro Flat Track Win at Knoxville; Texter Repeats
Saturday, September 08, 2012 KNOXVILLE, Iowa (September 8, 2012) - Jared Mees (Harley-Davidson/Rogers
Racing) saw his huge lead in the point standings diminish on what appeared to be a malfunction on his
motorcycle during the 15th lap of Saturday's AMA Pro Harley-Davidson Insurance Grand National
Championship presented by Motorcycle-Superstore.com and Lucas Oil main event. It's been a tough season for
Kenny Coolbeth Jr. ( Harley-Davidson/Screaming Eagle Harley-Davidson) as a broken leg has caused him to
miss much of the 2012 season, but tonight was his night as he claimed the lead on lap five and never gave it up
to get the victory.
"It's been a long season," said Coolbeth. "I really haven't been racing a whole lot, but when I do, I always show
up to win. Harley-Davidson supplies me with all the best equipment and I owe a large thanks to them. Overall,
it was a great effort by my entire team, we are all meshing right now and these boys better get ready."
Coolbeth won by roughly half of a second over Jake Johnson (Harley-Davidson/Zanotti Racing). However, the
slim margin can be deceiving as he had to dodge several riders in his final laps, some of whom he was forced to
lap.
For most of the race, Johnson and Mees were neck and neck as their battle for second was the best show on the
track. Johnson took advantage of Mees' mishap on lap 15 and cruised to a solid second-place finish.
Sammy Halbert (Harley-Davidson/South East Harley) also looked impressive as his solid effort propelled him
onto the podium for a third-place finish. Robert Pearson (Kawasaki/Eaken Racing) and Bryan Smith (Harley-
Davidson/Crosley Radio) rounded out the top five in what proved to be an exciting night of AMA Pro Flat
Track racing in Knoxville, Iowa.
AMA Pro Motorcycle-Superstore.com Pro Singles
Stephen Vanderkuur (Parkinson Brothers Racing/Honda CRF450R) had the fastest bike out of all during the
AMA Pro Motorcycle-Superstore.com Pro Singles heat races. The young standout grabbed an early lead with
the holeshot off of pole position and looked as if he was on his way to another victory and an increase on his
lead in the point standings.
However, Shayna Texter (DFW Honda/Honda CRF450R) had other plans as she stole the lead from
Vanderkuur on lap five and never looked back, increasing her lead each lap and surrendering nothing to the men
at the back of the pack. Texter was the clear-cut victor as she crossed the finish line almost two full seconds in
front of second-place finisher Jake Cunningham (Shillers Tree Service/Honda CRF450R).
Vanderkuur finished a close third to round out the podium with Jake Shoemaker (Montgomeryville Cycle
Center/Honda CRF450R) and Wyatt Macguire (Kirland Racing/Yamaha YZ-450F) closing out the top five,
respectively.
"Last year was a different experience, having to battle from beginning to end," said Shayna Texter.
"These guys didn't make it easy on me. All these guys out here are competitors on the track but racing aside we
make up a good family. If you're not part of the dirt track community then you just wouldn't understand."

Humphrey claims Enduro at Knoxville
Saturday, September 15, 2012 By Bob Wilson - KNOXVILLE, Ia (September 15) – Ryan Humphrey of Rose
Hill took the annual Fall Enduro at Knoxville Raceway Saturday night. In a race that went the full two hours, he
was able to rack up 184 laps on the big half-mile oval. The win paid Humphrey $1,000 for his efforts.
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 positions. Near the 125 lap segment a red was thrown in
order to stop the race for a re-watering of the track in order to slow the cars.
Finishing second was Pleasantville resident Tyler Sutter who was just two laps behind the winning car. Doug
Weiss of Dallas Center finished third. Strangely, a tie came about for fourth as Terry Darnell of Otley and Zach
Vernon of Knoxville came across the line side by side in a photo finish.

Moyer claims Iowa and Thursday night LM Nationals opener
Thursday, September 27, 2012 By Bob Wilson
KNOXVILLE, Ia (September 27) – Billy Moyer of Batesville, Arkansas still claimed his Iowa heritage
Thursday night at Knoxville Raceway. He also claimed the opening night feature as well in the 9th Annual
Lucas Oil Late Model Knoxville Nationals. Moyer led a good portion of the 25-lap feature event to garner
$7,000 in this first of two nights of qualifications leading up to the championship finale on Saturday night.
Moyer and his father (Bill Moyer Sr.) have both run on and won feature events at this historical half-mile oval.)
At the start of the feature event, sixteen-year-old Tyler Reddick took the point to pace the 24-car field. He
quickly found Shannon Babb on his tail in his fight to maintain the top spot. Reddick held that position until
Babb slid him going through turns three and four on lap six to grab the lead.
Moyer, who started third in the eight-car invert, was quickly on Babb’s rear bumper and was able to pass the
Illini driver with a superb slide in turn four. With that move Moyer took the lead and was never again
challenged on the big half-mile dirt oval.
Behind Moyer, second through sixth was hotly contested for the remainder of the race. He entered lap traffic
with ten to go but he had a healthy lead and forged ahead masterfully. Babb trailed and seemed to have the
runner-up spot in hand. Behind those two were Steve Francis and Brian Birkhofer who ran nose to tail for most
of the event. Reddick continued to drift backward and was eventually passed by five other cars.
In the end, Moyer took the checkered flag as Babb roared into turn four. Francis and Birkhofer came across the
line in third and fourth with ninth starting Jimmy Mars taking fifth. Chasing that duo was Scott Bloomquist,
Brady Smith and Brian Shirley.
Five qualifying heats saw Birkhofer, Jesse Stovell, Mars, Moyer and Reddick in the winners’ circle. Earl
Pearson Jr. won the D Main after changing an engine and then parking his car for Friday’s qualifying. Frank
Heckenast was the class of the field in the C Main and Smith led Jason Fegers, Chris Simpson and Terry
Phillips through the B Main to qualify for the A Main transfer.
Eighty cars took qualifying time trials in this 9th annual event.

Marlar is first-time victor at Friday Late Model Nationals
Friday, September 28, 2012 By Bob Wilson
KNOXVILLE, IA (September 28) – Mike Marlar, Winfield, Tennessee, picked a good night to capture his first
feature win at Knoxville Raceway Friday night. It was the second night of qualifications for Saturday’s Lucas
Oil Late Model Knoxville Nationals. The win paid Marlar $7,000 for the 25-lap main event run on this historic
fairgrounds oval.
The start of the feature event saw Marlar race to the lead on lap one as he forged through the two cars which
started ahead of him on lap one. Right away Steve Francis, who started right behind Marlar fell in behind him.
It would be Francis who would chase the leader for the distance in what would be record time for a 25-lap
distance. Brady Smith raced into third and Jimmy Owens trailed in forth.
Just after the five-mile mark Marlar entered into lap traffic but Francis was not able to use any of it for the
remainder of the race to make a challenge for the lead. Marlar was masterful charging through the back markers
and seemed not to lose any momentum on this historical half-mile oval. Just as Francis would get by a lap car
Marlar would put yet another car between himself and the runner-up driver.
With twenty laps in the books Marlar could enjoy nearly a twenty car-length advantage over the game Francis.
Smith continued his pace and kept the show position. With Owens in fourth, these front running cars had pulled
away from the pack.
In the final three laps Smith made several valiant charges to take the second place spot from Francis but each
time the second running car was able to pull away running down the chutes. It was a great, late show in the
waning laps but Marlar came across the stripe by some forty yards ahead of that twosome. Francis was paid
$4,000 for his efforts and Smith received $3,000 for the third place finish. Owens held for fourth and Jonathan
Davenport rounded out the top five.
Five qualifying heats saw Donnie Moran, Earl Pearson Jr., Will Vought, Terry Phillips and Shannon Babb as
the winners. Tyler Bruening won the D Main, Bill Moyer was the victor in the C Main and Denny Eckrich led
Brian Birkhofer, Frank Heckenast and John Anderson to win the B Main as those four drivers qualified for the
finale.
Seventy-nine cars took qualifying time trials.

Steve Francis is first-time Lucas Oil Knoxville Nationals
Saturday, September 29, 2012 By Bob Wilson
KNOXVILLE, IA (September 29) – “This is probably the biggest one of my career and like I said I mean no
disrespect to the World 100.” Those were the words of Steve Francis in victory lane after he took a late race
lead and won the 9th Annual Lucas Oil Late Model Knoxville Nationals. The win paid the Ashland, Kentucy
driver a cool $40,000. Francis was clearly headed for this first place finish as he placed 3rd and 2nd in the
Thursday and Friday qualifiers respectively.
As the 33-car field pulled away after driver introductions it was apparent that Earl Pearson Jr. was unable to
start. Even after he was pushed around the track he was not able to get the car to fire. In his place Jared Landers
joined the field. Pearson rejoined the field at the lap 13 yellow and finished many laps down.
Once the race began it was a tug of war between the Scott Bloomquist and Jimmy Owens, the two front row
starters. Owens quickly faded and that allowed Brady Smith to duke it out with Bloomquist. Smith was very
game in this pursuit and had just taken the lead when the first yellow of the 100 lapper flew for Brian Shirley
who was running fourth at the time. Shirley, who started third, ended up going to the pits and staying there.
The restart saw Smith at the point as Brian Burkhofer made a pass of Bloomquist sending him to third. At this
point Francis and Owens trailed the front running trio.
As Smith brought the field past the 25-lap mark a yellow was thrown for Landers who had stopped on the track.
Smith had pulled away from his pursuers with relative ease and now under the caution those cars were once
again right behind him. The ensuing restart saw Birkhofer take his only leading lap as he bested Smith in a
blanket finish at the flag stand. That lead was short lived as Smith once again passed and pulled away from
“Berkie” on the next go around.
The lap 35 restart saw Francis take the runner-up spot from Birkhofer but each time the race went yellow Smith
would pull away from them easily. His race-long line was to power into the turns and at the mid-point he would
drift to the top and then power away down the chutes. This worked so well for him that it looked as if no one
would be able to replace him at the front.
Winner Francis really came into contention on lap 43 as he replaced Birkhofer temporarily as the second place
car. At this juncture the top three cars had come into heavy lap traffic. Bloomquist was still the fourth running
car but he never seemed to have that look of a contender. At the half-way point it was Smith, Birkhofer again in
second, Francis, Bloomquist, Mike Marlar in the top five spots.
Most eyes were transfixed on the Birkhofer-Francis battle which had broken out early in the race and would not
be settled until Francis finally put him away on lap 64. Smith looked like the sure winner as he would always
pull away on the restarts.
Lap 71 saw all of that change as Francis caught and passed Smith in lap traffic with the actual pass coming out
of turn four. Smith, who had lead so much of this race stayed with Francis, remained close for about five laps
then fell back to battle with Birkhofer for the runner-up spot. Francis would later say that he conserved his tires
in order to make a late race bid.
The waning laps on this big half-mile oval saw Francis clearly being the car to beat. With these laps going all
the way to the finish in green condition, the front runners faced many back markers who were obstacles in the
path to victory. Though Smith forged the way, in back of him Smith was able to keep that second place.
Birkhofer again battled with Bloomquist and Owens came into contention with both of them.
In the end it was Francis taking the win, his first at this historic racing oval. Smith came across for second and
claimed $20,000 while Birkhofer captured third and a $10,000 paycheck. Bloomquist and Owens rounded out
the top five finishers.
