Bacon Conquers Corn Belt Nationals Opener After Six Lead
Changes! Wayne
Johnson Wins 360 Thriller with Last Lap Pass by Bill
Wright KNOXVILLE,
Iowa (July 5, 2019) – An outstanding night of racing greeted a great crowd
at Knoxville Raceway in Friday’s Brandt Professional Agriculture Corn Belt
Nationals opener. Brady Bacon notched his second career win
here after six lead changes in the Amsoil USAC National Sprint Car/POWRi War feature. He earned $5,000 aboard
the Hoffman Racing #69 entry, and became the
first repeat victor with USAC in their eleven trips here. Wayne
Johnson passed Terry McCarl on the final lap to
win a thrilling 360 main event as well. In
the non-stop 25-lap Corn Belt Nationals feature, Kevin Thomas Jr. led
early over Chris Windom and Matt Westfall. Windom shot around
Thomas to lead lap two, while Justin Grant took third from
Westfall. It was clear that Bacon had speed early, when he
jumped from sixth to fourth on lap four. Up
front, Thomas regained the lead from Windom on lap five, while Bacon took
third. Bacon used a middle groove to take second from a cushion
riding Windom on lap six, creating a three-way duel for the
point. Windom would bounce back to lead lap
seven. Bacon
reeled in the leader, and when Windom missed the bottom of turn one on lap
12, took his first lead of the event. A lap later, Bacon made
the same mistake, and Windom was back up front. On lap 14, Windom
bobbled over the cushion in turn three, and Bacon rode back by for
good. The
leaders entered lapped traffic on lap 16. Tyler Courtney, who
won here a year ago, battled with Thomas for third behind the
leaders. Windom closed in the late stages, but Bacon was able
to just maneuver enough in traffic to take his second win
here. Bacon’s
win came over Windom, Thomas, Courtney and Grant. Ryan Bernal,
Chase Stockon, hard-charger Jason McDougal, CJ
Leary and Westfall rounded out the top ten. Leary and Grant set
quick time in their respective groups. Leary, Bacon, Wesley
Smith, Courtney, Nick Bilbee and Stockon won heats. Kory Schudy won the C main and Carson Short claimed the
B. A seven-car melee starting the B main involving Glen
Saville, Chris Parkinson, Doug Schenck, Craig Campton, Chris Morgan and
Isaac Chapple saw everyone walk away. “I
really love this place,” said Bacon in Victory Lane. “It’s fun
to be able to do in this car, what I’d like to be able to in our wing car
when we run the Nationals when we see Donny (Schatz) and everyone who runs
the bottom and middle so good. I think, just having a lot of
laps here…more than the competition helped me a little bit here to know
that middle would come in and things like that. I was having to
run a little different line, but I was able to catch the marbles in the
middle and get some speed to pass a couple guys. It is testing
to slow down and run the bottom. Windom almost got back by me,
but fortunately we had a car good enough to make up for my
mistakes.” “Lapped
cars were in the way, but you’re going to have that at a place like this,”
said Windom. “If you miss the top or the bottom, you’re hung
out to dry. Those guys seemed to do that in front of
me. We had a good side-by-side battle I felt almost the entire
race. I think I could have got back by him there if
circumstances were different, but he ran a good race and hit his
marks. I didn’t think the bottom would stay that good for
us. You just had to hit it perfectly to make it
work. That’s what Brady did to get by us. I think we’ll
put on another good show tomorrow.” “It
was perfect (the battle for the lead),” said Thomas Jr. “That’s
the way it should be. For me to run the bottom around this
place…it’s real tricky. You have to
have a little knack for it. They gave me a great race
car. I just made a few mistakes. Everybody did a
great job. Congratulations to the #69 and #5. It was
a tough race. I saw them switching lines, and I was trying to
figure out where to go. It’s a fun joint. I’m just
glad to be here. It’s a great facility and track.” The
18-lap 360 feature started ugly. Austin McCarl and Rob Kubli took
wild rides, but walked away. An
eight-car pileup saw six cars eliminated. Joining the pair who
flipped were the point leader coming in, Ryan Giles, as well as Trey
Starks, Thomas Kennedy and Matt Juhl. Once
underway, the race went non-stop. Carson McCarl took the early lead over Matt Moro and Terry
McCarl. Clint Garner worked his way
from row six into the top five by lap three. Terry McCarl used the low side to gain second from Moro on
the same lap. Wayne Johnson used the same move to work into the
show position on lap five, with Garner taking fourth two laps
later. Johnson’s
car was working well on the bottom and he shot by Terry McCarl for second on lap nine. A three-wide
battle for the lead commenced, with Terry getting by his son for point on
lap 11. Johnson worked his way into second with six to go as
the leaders approached traffic. Johnson slowly
reeled in Terry McCarl and when the leader
slipped in turn one, he pounced using the low side. The win was
Johnson’s 13th here in a 360, and came ahead of Terry
McCarl, Garner, who gained third on the last
lap, Carson McCarl and Gio Scelzi. Jon
Agan, Matt Moro, Ryan Roberts, Calvin Landis and
Kelby Watt completed the top ten. Terry McCarl and Trey Starks set quick time in their
respective groups, and Kennedy, Johnson, Austin McCarl and Jason Martin won heats. Jason
Martin also won the B main. “I’m
a little bit rejuvenated here at Knoxville,” said Johnson in Victory
Lane. “I’ve been away a little bit racing some 360
stuff. I have to thank Todd and Kelly
Carlile for letting me go race and do what I
want to do. I love this place and this
is where I want to race. My guys have been busting their
butt. That’s a brand new
racecar. Anytime you can beat Terry McCarl here, you’ve done something. You
know that. He just made a mistake in traffic, and my car was
really good on the bottom.” The
$20,000 to win BRANDT Professional Agriculture Corn Belt Nationals
featuring the USAC National Sprint Cars and the POWRi WAR Sprints concludes Saturday night, July
6! The 410 winged sprints will also be

Bacon Combines Competition at $20,000 Corn Belt Nationals in
Knoxville! Parker
Price-Miller Storms to First 410 Win by Bill
Wright KNOXVILLE,
Iowa (July 6, 2019) – Brady Bacon dominated the Brandt Professional
Agriculture Corn Belt Nationals Saturday night at the Knoxville
Raceway. The Broken Arrow, Oklahoma native led all 30 laps to
take home the top prize of $20,000 aboard the Hoffman Racing
#69. Parker Price-Miller led wire to wire in a competitive main
event in the winged 410 class, taking his first career win
here. It was worth $4,000 aboard the Indy Race Parts
#71P. Bacon,
who won the preliminary event here Friday night, led the 24-car USAC
National Sprint Car/POWRi WAR field from the
outset ahead of CJ Leary, Justin Grant and Tyler
Courtney. Kevin Thomas Jr. entered the top five on lap four, but was under pressure from Chase Stockon in a good battle for fifth. By
lap ten, Bacon opened up an advantage of 4.5 seconds running the cushion, and entered lapped traffic on lap
14. With ten to go, his lead had eclipsed seven seconds, and
his margin of victory was 8.286 seconds at the checkers. Behind
him, good battles from positions two through six had the fans’
attention. Courtney shot by both Grant and Leary to climb to
second with nine to go. Leary went back by for the spot a lap
later, and Courtney returned the favor again on lap 23. When
Courtney jumped the cushion with two to go, Leary grabbed the runner-up
spot for good. Courtney, Thomas and Chris Windom
followed. Grant, Jason McDougal, Chase Stockon, Ryan Bernal and Carson Short rounded out the
top ten. This
was Bacon’s third career win here under the USAC
sanction. Grant and Thomas set quick time in their respective
groups. Qualifier winners included Grant, Stockon, Courtney and Bacon. Chris Morgan
won the C main, and Dave Darland won the B. Wesley Smith took a
wild ride in the third heat race, but would
return to start the main event. “I
was like ‘Doug (Clark), Doug, throw the white, let’s go, I’m done with
this!” said an excited Bacon in Victory Lane. “I was having
some trouble with those lapped cars, and it was getting
treacherous. Obviously, you don’t know how good you
are. The competition with USAC is so good. We picked
up some momentum in Eastern Storm and we carried it on here. My guys
have been working hard. It’s obviously awesome to win here at
Knoxville. A big check makes it a lot
better! Hopefully, we can come back and do this
again.” “The
#19AZ was pretty fast all weekend,” said Leary. “Last night, we
had a lifter that got stuck, and had the pushrod run out. We
were running on seven cylinders all night. Tonight, the
racetrack kind of fooled us. We got too tight. There
was a soft spot coming off four, and coming off
two. It about bit me, and let Tyler catch up. It bit
him too, and let me get back to
second. A $12,000 payday is a good night for us.” “We
were way too tight,” said Courtney. “Our hat’s off to
Brady. He got two big wins this weekend. It was a
great event, and hopefully, we can come back next
year. Hopefully, we can come back and get a couple more spots
on the podium. We’ll go on to the next race and go from
there.” The
20-lap 410 sprint car feature went non-stop as well. Parker
Price-Miller shot out from the pole position to lead early over Justin
Henderson and Lynton Jeffrey. Price-Miller’s Indy Race Parts
teammate Gio Scelzi
entered the top five early on. He claimed fourth on lap four
from Davey Heskin before the leaders entered
lapped traffic on the sixth circuit. Jeffrey
capitalized on a fast car, shooting by Henderson for second on lap
six. Jeffrey gained on the leader and challenged at times in
the second half of the event. Scelzi
was gaining ground as well, getting by Henderson for third with five to
go. Price-Miller’s
mount worked well all over the track, as he maneuvered through traffic,
holding off Jeffrey for his first career win. Scelzi joined his teammate on the podium in third,
followed by Heskin and Austin McCarl. Henderson, Trey Starks, Matt Juhl, Brooke Tatnell and
Terry McCarl completed the top ten. “My
car was really good wherever I went,” said Price-Miller
afterwards. “My motor stumbled on the start, and Justin got a
good start. I could hit the bottom those first few laps, and I
kept slipping the left rear, and I kept pulling my wing back to make up
for it. I just felt like I was wasting too much time with tire
spin. I moved up and pounded the cushion. I saw
Lynton a few times and I was looking at the board. I wanted to
win this one so bad. It’s been a tough year. To get
our first win here at Knoxville…it’s a pleasure. I’m so
