Jamie Ball Leads It All to Win Night One of the 360 Knoxville Nationals
by Bryan Hulbert and Bill Wright

KNOXVILLE, Iowa (August 4, 2016) For the third time in his career at the Knoxville Raceway, Jamie Ball wheeled his J.J. Kane Auctioneers No. 5J around the Marion County half-mile perfectly for 20 laps for victory on night one of the 26th annual Arnold Motor Supply ASCS 360 Knoxville Nationals presented by Great Southern Bank.

Timing in 13th, Ball was able to run to the final transfer in the third Heat Race, setting Jamie on the pole of Thursday's preliminary A-Feature.

"I'd rather be lucky that good any day," chuckled Jamie when asked about his night and the way everything shook out. "Our qualifying numbers lacked a little bit because of a bad draw, but these guys are the best here. I'd put them up against anyone. We are so prepared, you know, you win races in the shop and our hours of hard work show it, and I know our wives can attest that we've put a lot of work into this."

Ball's first Preliminary Night victory in the $15,000 to win Arnold Motor Supply 360 Knoxville Nationals presented by Great Southern Bank, the win is also the Iowa native's first with the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by the MAVTV Motorsports Network, making Jamie the 134th different winner in National Tour competition.

Outdueling Bryan Clauson twice on the start following a red for Kade Higday, the No. 5J was challenged the first couple before starting to pull away only to see a caution on the third round as Nate Van Haaften slowed off the fourth turn.

With Clauson in tow on the restart, Ball built his advantage quickly as Clauson worked to hold off the No. 17x of Josh Baughman, who eventually worked to the runner-up spot on Lap 5. Stalking Jamie Ball as the pair approached slower traffic, the gap closed very little as the No. 5J weaved through the back-markers.

Shuffling the remainder of the top-five as the race worked past the half-way point, the race on the track brewed for second as Sammy Swindell wheeled the Acme Graphix No. 3s around Baughman on the sixteenth lap.

Closing slightly on Jamie, laps would run out as the No. 5j crossed 1.533 seconds ahead of Sammy Swindell.

Josh Baughman held on for third with Terry McCarl grabbing the fourth spot. Having to advance out of the B-Feature, Danny Lasoski rocketed from 21st to complete the top-five in the Parker Burch Motorsports No. 1m.

Ian Madsen from ninth came to sixth with Tony Shilling seventh. After contending for the lead early, Bryan Clauson slipped to an eighth place run with Justin Henderson and Ryan Giles making up the top-ten.

In terms of points following Thursday's opener, Justin Henderson sits atop the points with 481. Sammy Swindell and Tony Shilling sit at 480 each with the nod going to Swindell had a better finish in the A main. Josh Baughman in fourth in standings with 479 points followed by Danny Lasoski with 476 to complete the top-five.

Jamie Veal Breaks Through on Night Two of the 360 Nationals!

by Bryan Hulbert and Bill Wright                                                            

 

KNOXVILLE, Iowa (August 5, 2016) He may have lead start to finish, but it was a thriller of an A-Feature at the Knoxville Raceway as Australia’s Jamie Veal found Victory Lane for the first time in his career at the famed half-mile; winning night two of the 26th annual Arnold Motor Supply 360 Knoxville Nationals presented by Great Southern Bank.

 

Veal’s first Knoxville Raceway victory also goes down as his first with the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by the MAVTV Motorsports Network, making Jamie the 135th overall winner in Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour competition, and 13th on the season.

 

“All those starts helped me heaps. I got the jump there three or four times but I got a bit nervous those last few go-rounds with [Brian] Brown picking up a few, and [Clint] Garner picking up a few there, so it didn’t leave much buffer,” said Jamie on his victory at the famed half-mile. “Their experience around here is second to none, but I can’t thank this Indy Race Parts team enough to give me to me the opportunity to race here.”

 

Asked about his progression through the season at the Knoxville Raceway, Veal commented, “We’ve had a good car here the past three or four times here, and it’s good to finally get a win at Knoxville, especially during the 360 Nationals, so we’ll just go from here.”

 

Three times to get the race rolling, Veal was able to get the jump all three times over the GoMuddy.com No 1H of Dale Blaney. Moving away from the field, Veal built a comfortable two second advantage before the caution flew on Lap 12 for Matt Moro. Prior to the caution, the race on the track was for fourth as Brian Brown, Davey Heskin, and Clint Garner attached the position.

 

Taking over the show position on the restart from Brooke Tatnell, the Casey’s General Store/FVP No. 21 of Brian Brown set sights on Dale Blaney for second. Diving low into the third turn, Brown broke loose from the bottom, sliding Nerf bar to left rear on Blaney, with both somehow able to roll away.

 

Caution with 13 laps complete, the cast of challengers continued their march to the front as the Midwest Excavating No. 40 of Clint Garner set sights on Brown for the runner-up spot.

With everyone still chasing Jamie Veal, the bottom side worked to Garner’s favor as the night’s quick timer rolled to second on the final lap. Running down Jamie Veal into the final two turns, the driver of the Indy Race Parts No. 71 would not be denied; crossing 0.435 seconds ahead of the current Knoxville Raceway 360 points’ leader.

 

Brian Brown crossed third after starting fifth with Dusty Zomer coming home fourth. After challenging for the lead early, Dale Blaney slipped back to complete the top-five. Brooke Tatnell finished sixth with Jack Dover coming from 14th to seventh. Hard Charging from 20th, Johnny Herrera advanced to finish eighth with Davey Heskin winding up ninth. Tasker Phillips from 21st completed the top-ten.

 

Quick time went to Clint Garner on Friday night with a time of 16.017 seconds. Five Heat races were topped by Don Droud, Jr., Calvin Landis, Rager Phillips, Dale Blaney, and Jamie Veal. C-Feature honors went to John Schulz. The night’s B-Main was topped by Tasker Phillips.

 

The Friday night program saw 52 drivers checking in, bringing this year’s total to 93 competitors. With points tallied through the two preliminary nights, Clint Garner, with 492 points, has earned the pole in Saturday’s $15,000 to win feature event. He will share the front row with fellow South Dakota driver, Justin Henderson, who tallied 481 markers.

Sammy Swindell Winst the 26th Annual Knoxville 360 Nationals!

by Bryan Hulbert and Bill Wright                                                            

KNOXVILLE, Iowa (August 6, 2016) - For the second time in Knoxville Raceway history, a driver has added the 360cid and 410cid Nationals Championship to their Trophy Case as Sammy Swindell parked the A.G. Rains / Acme Graphix No. 3s in Victory Lane to claim the $15,000 top prize in the 26th annual Arnold Motor Supply ASCS 360 Knoxville Nationals presented by Great Southern Bank.

Joining Danny Lasoski as the only other driver to win both crown jewel events at the Marion County oval, Swindell is the fourteenth different winner of the 360 Nationals since 1991. The win is also the first as a car owner for West Memphis, Arkansas native, A.G. Rains.

“Praise the Lord, I’ve just been so blessed here lately with things going a lot of different directions,” said Sammy in Victory Lane after his fifth career 360 win at Knoxville.  “I’m still out here doing this, getting to do what I love to do driving these cars and they gave me a perfect car tonight. All the things we did yesterday, they were all right. We hit it on the head and I couldn’t ask for anything any better.”

“When I was on the bottom there, I thought I was okay there.  Then Clint [Garner] got around, and I just had to wait for my turn to get a shot and see where he was good at, and where he wasn’t to make my move; but the car just got better and better throughout the race.”

Taking off from the front row, Swindell took off into the race lead with Clint Garner, quickly taking over the point on the second lap. Stalked by the Acme Graphix No. 3s, the pair rolled top and bottom on the Knoxville Raceway with Swindell finally able to reclaim the lead on Lap nine.

The wily veteran began distancing himself from the current Knoxville 360cid point’s leader as the race through the top-five heated up, with Lasoski up to third and closing. Taking over the runner-up spot on the 13th trip around the half-mile, the 1995 winner of the 360cid Nationals came to Swindell’s back bumper as the caution flew on Lap 16 for Josh Baughman whose engine expired.

On the restart, the mover was Brian Brown. After fading to ninth early on, the FVP/Casey’s General Store No. 21 was back up to fourth. Stealing away third on Lap 20, the pass for the runner-up spot on Lap 22 would be Brown’s last pass of the night as the engine let go under the bonnet of the No. 21.  That nearly wadded up Lasoski who barely got the Mark Burch No. 1m turned down the track.  

Setting up a three lap dash to the finish, Lasoski got close but was never close enough as Swindell finished 1.078 seconds ahead of “The Dude”.

Challenged by Dusty Zomer on the final restart, Clint Garner rebounded to hold onto third with Terry McCarl coming from eighth to fourth. Ian Madsen from 14th came up to complete the top-five in the last corner.

Challenging for the third spot on the restart, Dusty Zomer faded to sixth with Jack Dover advancing twelve spots as the night’s Hard Charger. Friday’s preliminary A-Feature winner, Jamie Veal crossed eighth, with Brooke Tatnell and Tony Shilling making up the top ten.

Saturday night began with E-Feature competition.  Colby Copeland grabbing that win. The night’s D-Feature was topped by Billy Butler after race winner, Tim Shaffer, was disqualified for the Wickerbill being too tall on the No. 49x.  Sam Hafertepe, Jr. was the winner in the C-Feature. In the first three feature events, Colby Copeland and Logan Forler were able to advance from the E to the C. Forler was a DNF in the C, with Copeland finishing 15th. Jack Dover was able to grab the B-Feature. 

Devin Kline Cops $800 with Ninth Career 305 Win!

Devin Kline put his name on top of the career 305 sprint car winners’ list at the Knoxville Raceway on Saturday night.  The Knoxville, Iowa driver wrestled the lead away from Christian Bowman on lap two, and was never seriously challenged in the 15-lap event.  The win aboard the White Lightning Motorsports #5J was worth $800, thanks to $400 in bonuses from Pace Performance Parts.

The event was plagued by several cautions.  Christopher Scank spun while running fifth on lap six, then suffered a left rear tire flat and got sideways two laps later.  Cody Ambers could not avoid contacting him.  Brandon Worthington spun to bring a yellow on lap eleven and a circuit later, Mike Mayberry spun, collecting Mitchell Alexander.  No one was injured.

Bowman maintained second behind Kline at the line, while McKenna Haase worked her way up from row four to finish third, followed by Corey Kautz and Chris Walraven.  Chase Wanner, hard-charger Tyler Thompson, Matthew Stelzer, Jeff Wilke and Brad Comegys rounded out the top ten.  Kline set quick time, while Mayberry and Wilke notched heat wins.

“We were really good on the long runs, but on that last restart, I tried to give it away and missed the bottom,” said Kline in Victory Lane.  “Nonetheless, we came away with a win, and I have to thank Pace Performance for the bonus money.  That’s going to go a long way.  Don Blackshear and those guys make a great engine package, and we utilized it tonight.  (Starting on the pole) feels like the whole world is on your shoulders.  You’ve got nowhere to go but back.  Fortunately, we just looked ahead and got the win.”

Join us tomorrow night for the Fifth Annual Kustom Concrete Pumping “Capitani Classic” presented by Great Southern Bank!  The 410 sprint cars will have their last laps on the track before the 56th Annual 5-hour ENERGY Knoxville Nationals presented by Casey’s General Stores.  The action will be intense!  Visit www.KnoxvilleRaceway.com for more information!
