| 7/31/08 18th Annual 360 Nationals Prelim Night #1 50 cars Bronson Maeschen (46th car out to time) impressed by setting quick time after coming out late in the field on a slowing track at 16.320 seconds. Tyler Walker (4th car out) was second quick, followed by Jonathan Allard (29th), Travis Rilat (8th), Jason Johnson (18th), Gary Taylor (7th), Ricky Montgomery (3rd), Larry Neighbors (13th), George White (47th) and Terry McCarl (19th). Jared Peterson, who towed all the way from Washington lost a side panel on the top wing at speed going into turn three and flipped hard after hitting the wall. He was unhurt, but the car destroyed. Steve Dyer was DQed in time trials because of an illegal tire, as were Kyle McCutcheon and Jason Eckard. All were pitted close together. Heat one (started): 1. Maeschen 96 (4) 2. Billy Alley 22 (2) 3. Dustin Selvage 7 (1) 4. Randy Martin 14 (3) / 5. Taylor 5* (5) 6. Brock Lemley 4L (9) 7. Derek Ingalls 91 (6) 8. Danny Heskin 6 (7) / 9. Mallory Armfield 5MA (8) DNS - Mike Houseman Jr. Y2 Heats were eight laps, with the top four going to the A, the next four to the B, and the rest to the C. Lemley received a bad break when he had a mechanical issue and needed to pushes to start. A front row starting spot became a start on the tail. Alley took the early lead after inheriting the front row starting position, but Maeschen made a nice move to the point after a lap six restart after a caution for debris. Heat two (started): 1. Jonathan Cornell 28 (4) 2. Jake Peters 57x (1) 3. Walker 24T (6) 4. Glenn Borden 72 (2) / 5. Scott Winters 23w (3) 6. Joe Ramaker 98R (7) 7. Montgomery 9m (5) 8. Scott Lehman 9s (8) / DNS - DJ Brink 21B, Jared Peterson 9P Peters took the early lead. Cornell was impressive on the high side however, and quickly dogged the leader. On lap six, he made his winning move. Walker moved into a transfer early, and then grabbed third from Borden at the halfway point. Heat three (started): 1. Lee Sowell 51s (2) 2. Joe Beaver 53 (4) 3. JJ Hickle 7A (1) 4. Allard 0 (6) / 5. Jon Agan 4 (3) 6. Jeff Mitrisin 10 (8) 7. Nate Mosher 22N (7) 8. Neighbors 29N (5) / 9. Jerry Bell 85 (9) 10. Steve Dyer 9A (10) Sowell led flag to flag. Allard and Agan waged battle for the final transfer. Allard grabbed it early before Agan held it for most of the event. Allard came back late to snatch it for good in an entertaining heat. Heat four (started): 1. Rilat 29T (6) 2. Zach Chappell 50z (3) 3. Russ Hall 29 (2) 4. Gordy Vogelaar 99v (8) / 5. White 10x (5) 6. Jason Solwold 39c (4) 7. Tim Sernett K9 (1) 8. Jason Eckard 2H (10) / 9. Kevin Ingle 2K (9) 10. Cody Petersen 16P (7) Solwold was sent to the tail for getting out of line on the first start. Sernett led the first lap, but Rilat exploded to the front and won going away. Vogelaar, who got to move up a row with Solwold's penalty, made the most of it and held off White for the final transfer. Heat five (started): 1. J. Johnson 41 (6) 2. Lee Grosz 4J (3) 3. McCarl 1m (5) 4. Matt Tiffany 19T (1) / 5. Jon Corbin 26J (7) 6. Larry Pinegar II 11L (2) 7. Danny Martin Jr. 00m (4) 8. Don Young 75 (8) / 9. Justin Carver 24J (9) 10. Kyle McCutcheon 5K (10) Grosz shot around the cushion early to grab the lead from row two. By lap four, J. Johnson was all over him and turned laps as fast as 16.4 on his way to the 100 point win. Corbin came late but it wasn't enough to reel in Tiffany. C main (started): 1. Petersen (2) 2. Ingle (3) / 3. Bell (4) 4. Carver (6) 5. McCutcheon (8) 6. Dyer (7) 7. Armfield (5) 8. Brink (1) DNS - Houseman Jr., Peterson Petersen was the class of the field, winning by almost a 1/2 lap in the 10-lapper. Ingle came on late to pass Bell for the final transfer to the B. Armfield and Brink retired early. B main (started): 1. Taylor (1) 2. Solwold (5) 3. Montgomery (2) 4. Winters (7) / 5. Neighbors (3) 6. Martin Jr. (6) 7. Agan (8) 8. Lemley (9) 9. Mitrisin (17) 10.

White (4) A fierce battle for the lead over teh first 9 laps in the 12-lapper saw Taylor and Montgomery exchange the point four times. White was keeping pace on lap nine while running third when he smacked the frontstretch wall hard in an attempt to slingshot around Montgomery for second. The result was a damaged racecar as he went off on the hook. The restart saw Taylor leading Montgomery, Solwold, Neighbors and Winters. Solwold nabbed third in the last three laps, while Winters was impressive on the low side of one and two in cruising by Neighbors for the final transfer. A main (started): 1. J. Johnson (4) 2. Alley (2) 3. Rilat (5) 4. Walker (7) 5. Chappell (11) 6. McCarl (3) 7. Cornell (1) 8. Allard (6) 9. Winters (24) 10. Peters (17) 11. Solwold (22) 12. Martin (10) 13. Taylor (21) 14. Hickle (18) 15.

Maeschen (8) Alley got the jump on Cornell in row one, but by the time one lap was completed, J. Johnson was in the lead for good. The first 18 of 20 laps went non-stop. Soon Rilat was by Alley into second and in pursuit of the leader through traffic. Cornell was a strong fourth ahead of a battle for fifth with McCarl, Chappell and Walker involved. Maeschen's bid for a perfect score on the night ended when hit right rear wheel broke off while running ninth on lap 18. Beaver was 12th at the same time and retired. The three lap shootout saw J. Johnson leading Rilat, Allley, Cornell and McCarl back to green flag racing. Plenty of dicing occured late but the leader remained the same, and captured his third career 360 win, and second of 2008. Alley passed Rilat in turn four on the last lap for second. Walker shot from sixth to fourth late, and Chappell from seventh to the top five. Winters earned hard-charger honors for his run from 24th to 9th. |

18th Annual 360 Nationals Night #2 61 cars Gary Wright (45th car out to time) bucked the odds and laid down the quick time of the night coming out late on a quickly changing track at 16.656 seconds. Brooke Tatnell (8th car out) was second quick, followed by Gregg Bakker (3rd), Lee Jacobs (29th), Jesse Hockett (2nd), Wayne Johnson (19th), Jesse Giannetto (1st), Roger Crockett (34th), Jack Dover (16th) and Ryan Roberts (13th). The top 50 qualifiers qualified for the five heats, with the remaining 11 assigned to the C. Heat one (started): 1. W. Johnson 94 (5) 2. Ron Blair 35 (1) 3. Wright 9w (6) 4. Don Droud Jr. 27 (2) / 5. Brad Bowden 15B (4) 6. Dave Hall 51 (3) 7. Eric Lutz 5L (9) 8. JD Johnson 98 (7) / 9. Chad Corken 11 (8) 10. Luke Hall 34H (10) Heats had an invert of six, were 8 laps in distance and took the top four to the A, the next four to the B, and the final two to the C. Blair grabbed the early lead, but W. Johnson used a strong run on the bottom to surge to the point at the halfway point. Wright worked by a stubborn Bowden and then grabbed third late from Droud Jr. Heat two (started): 1. Tim Crawley 88 (2) 2. Tatnell 91s (6) 3. Giannetto D1 (5) 4. Garry Lee Maier 11xx (4) / 5. Nate Van Haaften 3 (8) 6. Ryan Anderson 71R (3) 7. Trey Robb 1s (7) 8. Chad Meyer 7m (1) / 9. Samantha Taylor 17 (10) 10. Rod Richards 12 (9) Crawley led the duration. Tatnell was the mover, using the low side to grab second from Maier around the halfway point. The track was racey from start to finish. Heat three (started): 1. Jared Ridge 12J (1) 2. Matt Moro 2m (4) 3. Crockett 7N (5) 4. Bakker 11x (6) / 5. Nick Smith 15s (2) 6. Justin Henderson 5 (7) 7. Brett Mather 54 (10) 8. Steven Lines 23 (3) / 9. Jack Potter 15 (9) 10. Josh Padellford 34 (8) Ridge dominated this one in his first Knoxville visit. The best race was for the final transfer. Crockett went from fifth to third in one move, and Bakker outdueled N. Smith for fourth. Heat four (started): 1. Matt Covington 95 (1) 2. Kenny Adams 4A (4) 3. Dover 53D (5) 4. Dustin Daggett 2MX (8) / 5. Jacobs 86 (6) 6. Josh Higday 24 (7) 7. Joe Wood Jr. 03 (3) 8. AJ Selenke 43 (2) / 9. RJ Johnson 71 (10) 10. Butch Hanssen 8K (9) Covington led falg to flag. Adams ran strong in second. Daggett was the only car outside of the six car inversion to transfer to the A through the heats, and did so by running the cushion to perfection around Selenke, Wood Jr. and finally Jacobs. Heat five (started): 1. Brian Brown 21 (3) 2. Clint Garner 40 (4) 3. Pete Crall 1 (1) 4. Hockett 75J (6) / 5. Roberts 18 (5) 6. Ben Gregg 22B (2) 7. Eric Baldaccini B4 (8) 8. Natalie Sather 94s (10) / 9. Darren Long 7L (9) 10. Shawn Van Wyhe 99 (7) Brown had the lead by the time a lap was complete. Long suffered a flat right rear on lap two. At the time, Brown was leading Crall, Gregg, Garner and Hockett. Brown finished off the last seven laps. C main (started): 1. Corken (2) 2. Van Wyhe (1) / 3. RJ Johnson (10) 4. Padellford (3) 5. L. Hall (8) 6. Dave Glennon 5x (17) 7. Troy Little 20AU (11) 8. Butch Hanssen 8K (6) 9. Taylor (9) 10. Tyler Thompson 48 (12) 11. Potter (5) 12. Curtis Evans 1P (16) 13. Alan Zoutte 33 (15) 14. Richards (4) 15. Bryn Gohn 4B (13) 16. Brian Parker 9* (21) 17. Travis Porter 31P (20) 18. Kathryne Minter 13 (18) 19. Kenneth Walker 2w (19) 20. Luke Dollansky 2 (14) 21. Long (7) Dollansky was black-flagged on the first try at green and sent to the tail. Padellford wrestled the lead from Corken early in the 10-lapper. Corken stayed in contention and rod the rim to the point on lap four. He checked out from that point, leaving the final transfer to the B to a battle between Van Wyhe and Padellford. Dollansky had a flat left rear on lap eight slowing the action and eliminating Corken's big advantage. The two lap dash saw Corken restarting ahead of Padellford, Van Wyhe, L. Hall and Potter. Van Wyhe won the battle for second in the end, while RJ Johnson's valiant charge fell just short of a transfer. B main (started): 1. N. Smith (8) 2. Henderson (14) 3. Meyer (11) 4. Bowden (3) / 5. Wood Jr. (7) 6. Baldaccini (17) 7. Robb (13) 8. Mather (19) 9. Sather (20) 10. Selenke (9) 11. Lutz (18) 12. JD Johnson (12) 13. Roberts (2) 14. D. Hall (4) 15. Van Wyhe (22) 16. Jacobs (1) 17. Ry. Anderson (5) 18. Lines (6) 19. Corken (21) 20. Higday (15) 21. Van Haaften (16) 22. Gregg (10) It took four tries to start the 12-lap B. On the first try, Roberts jumped and was sent to the back. The next saw a number of cars slow in front of Van Haaften, who got upside down and tangle with Lutz. Both were unhurt, Van Haaften was done. The third attempt was not a charm, as Ry. Anderson tangled with Lines, and both flipped wildly. Also getting upside down hard was Corken, who was joined by Higday. Sather was also involved, but continued. Only one lap was in the books before the next caution for the leader, Jacobs, who came to a stop in a cloud of smoke in turn four ending a tough night. D. Hall inherited the lead and took off. He found it wasn't good to be in the lead on the white flag lap, when he blew his left rear tire. N. Smith led Henderson (from 14th), Bowden and Wood Jr. who had been battling for the final transfer, and Meyer. Meyer shot around Wood Jr. and Bowden into third on the next lap before Roberts stopped bringing the last slowdown. The white/checker finish saw plenty of action, but no change in the top four. A main (started): 1. W. Johnson (4) 2. Wright (8) 3. Giannetto (3) 4. Tatnell (7) 5. Hockett (5) 6. Crockett (2) 7. Adams (11) 8. Bakker (6) 9. Brown (13) 10. Garner (12) 11. Crawley (15) 12. Maier (9) 13. Droud Jr. (14) 14. Dover (1) 15. Henderson (22) 16. Moro (10) 17. N. Smith (21) 18. Daggett (20) 19. Ridge (17) 20. Crall (19) 21. Meyer (23) 22. Covington (18) 23. Blair (16) 24. Bowden (24) Bowden stopped and retired before a lap could be completed. It would be the only slowdown in a non-stop 20-lap slugfest. The top four were battling back and forth all the way on a great track for racing. Giannetto stormed under Dover and Crockett at the outset to take the early lead. The 2006 360 Nationals Champ had 2000 champ W. Johnson in tow early on. Wright quickly entered the fray and took second from W. Johnson. Two laps later, W. Johnson found his way back around in heavy traffic and hit the high side in pursuit of Giannetto. On lap 12, W. Johnson grabbed the point for good and began putting lapped cars between himself and second. Wright eventually worked by Giannetto, and both were under pressure from Tatnell. The win was W. Johnson's 7th career 360 tally at Knoxville and paid him $2000. Henderson repeated his hard-charger performance in the B in the A as well. |

He continued without it. On the second try at green, Sather flipped in turn one. She was unhurt. Tiffany led laps one and two, but Jacobs took over from there, and had gained valuable laps in driving double duty with the 410s. Tiffany held onto the final transfer despite impressive charges by Henderson, Agan and Daggett. B main (started): 1. Brian Brown 21 (2) 2. Garry Lee Maier 11xx (1) 3. Matt Moro 2m (3) 4.

Brown took advantage, looping around both of them. He chose the high road on a two-groove track, and cruised the rest of the way in the non-stop event. The top four changed little, but R. Hall climbed eight spots, and with a caution may have been a threat. 18th Annual 360 Nationals (started): 1. Wayne Johnson 94 (4) 2. Brown (20) 3. Billy Alley 22 (8) 4. Brooke Tatnell 91s (5) 5.

Wright wrestled the lead from J. Johnson early on. One lap was in the books when a caution appeared. Wright led J. Johnson, W. Johnson, Alley (from 8th) and Rilat back to green flag racing. The lead pair dueled the next three laps, and J. Johnson took the lead on the fifth go-around. One lap later, Winters would stop with a flat right rear and slow things for the last time in the 25-lapper. Under caution, Wright exited from second with a broken wing bracket. The restart saw J. Johnson ahead of W. Johnson, Alley and Tatnell. W. Johnson used the restart to hit the high side while the leader went low. W. Johnson powered around the top and took the lead with Alley following him by. Meanwhile, Brown was surging from outside of row ten. He was moving by Rilat and Walker into the top five around the halfway point. W. Johnson was separating himself from Alley through dense traffic late in the going. Tatnell challenged Alley for third on a few occasions. With three to go, Brown swept by Tatnell for third, and circled around Alley on the last lap to grab second in an impressive performance. W. Johnson was paid $10,000 for his second 360 Nationals championship (2000), third win of the season here, and eighth 360 tally overall at Knoxville. 410s Tyler Walker (3rd car out to time) set quick time at 15.236 seconds as one lap of qualifying was used.

Zomer snuck into the lead at the beginning running the low side. Tatnell ran the cushion and was not farther than five car lengths off the pace before he took the lead himself in lapped traffic on the 8th go-around. He would pull away from there. Zomer had his hands full with Lasoski, but held onto second. The win was Tatnell's second of the season and third overall and was worth $3,000. Kaeding was the hard-charger. |
