Knoxville Raceway 34 410s 37 360s 410s Randy Anderson (17th car out to time) registered the quick time of the night on a track that stayed tacky throughout at 14.777. Dusty Zomer (31st car out) was second quick, followed by Billy Alley (1st), Ricky Logan (4th), Dustin Lindquist (16th), Skip Jackson (20th), Toni Lutar (10th), Dennis Moore Jr. (21st), Jack Dover (8th) and Scott Winters (12th). Heat one (started): 1. Mark Dobmeier 13 (1) 2. Logan 10 (5) 3. Ra. Anderson 81 (6) 4. Lutar 4x (4) 5. Davey Heskin 56 (8) 6. Mike Reinke 02 (9) / 7. Bob Weuve 19 (7) 8. Dusty Ballenger 20 (11) 9. Robert Bell 71 (10) 10. Winters R19 (3) 11. Jack Potter 47 (2) DNS - Robert Ballou 81x Dobmeier led flag to flag in the 8 lapper. Potter was running third on lap four when he spun. The spin all but collected Logan who made heavy contact, but kept rolling. Under caution, Winters pulled it in and surrendered his runner-up position. Heskin and Reinke benefited by grabbing the final two transfers. Heat two (started): 1. Bronson Maeschen 96 (1) 2. Moore Jr. 17G (4) 3. Zomer 1z (6) 4. Mike Moore 69 (2) 5. Wayne Johnson 14AJ (3) 6. Lindquist 5 (5) / 7. Kaley Gharst 3 (8) 8. Jon Corbin 15 (11) 9. Lynton Jeffrey 12 (7) 10. Tony Shilling 47T (10) 11. Scotty Neitzel 2w (9) Neitzel bowed out on lap one. Maeschen led the distance. Moore Jr. made a nice move on lap one to grab the runner-up spot. Gharst stopped on lap four bringing out the caution. He rebounded to seventh, one spot out of a transfer. Zomer looked strong on the bottom, grabbing third on the restart. Heat three (started): 1. Calvin Landis 70 (1) 2. Brian Brown 21 (2) 3. Ryan Anderson 71R (3) 4. Dover 53 (4) 5. Alley 55 (6) 6. Jackson 2 (5) / 7. Rager Phillips 9 (8) 8. Clint Garner 40 (9) 9. Brent Antill 1 (7) 10. Mike Deavers 72 (11) 11. Dave Saffell 03 (10) This one was a Homecoming Queen and a tractor short of a parade. Landis led throughout. B main (started): 1. Gharst (5) 2. Corbin (6) 3. Potter (2) 4. Shilling (12) 5. Jeffrey (4) 6. Ballenger (14) / 7. Ballou (13) 8. Antill (3) 9. Neitzel (7) 10. Deavers (9) 11. Weuve (3) 12. Bell (11) 13. Garner (10) 14. Phillips (8) DNS - Winters, Saffell Phillips got upside down before a lap could be completed. He was uninjured. Potter led the 12 lapper early through a lap two Antill spin, and a lap five stoppage for Garner who went up in smoke. The lap five restart saw Potter leading Jeffrey, Gharst, Corbin, Shilling and Weuve. Gharst made quick work of the lead pair after the restart and pulled away for the win. Ballenger picked off Neitzel and then Weuve late to take the final transfer. Not bad for a guy just shaking down for Huset's! A main (started): 1. Lindquist (2) 2. Ra. Anderson (6) 3. Zomer (5) 4. Gharst (19) 5. Logan (3) 6. Brown (13) 7. W. Johnson (10) 8. Alley (4) 9. Jackson (1) 10. Dobmeier (14) 11. Landis (16) 12. Corbin (20) 13. Lutar (7) 14. Jeffrey (23) 15. Dover (9) 16. Ry. Anderson (11) 17. Heskin (17) 18. Reinke (18) 19. Maeschen (15) 20. M. Moore (12) 21. Potter (21) 22. Moore Jr. (8) 23. Shilling (22) 24. Ballenger (24) In staging, Jackson suffered a flat left rear and surrendered his pole position start for a restart at the rear. He would rebound to finish in the top ten. Logan inherited the pole and took advantage by leading the 20 lapper early. A stumble on lap six in turns three and four by Logan, allowed Lindquist, with a good run on the bottom, to take the point. He extended his lead, putting several lapped cars between himself and Zomer, who had cruised into second by lap 12, when Shilling looked to blow a left rear and back into the turn two wall. The restart saw Lindquist leading Zomer, Logan, Ra. Anderson and Brown. Gharst was the mover on the restart, working his way into the top five from his row 10 starting spot. Lap 18 saw the ill-handling mount of W. Johnson make contact with Moore Jr., who broke an axle and came to a stop on the backstretch. Lindquist led Zomer, Ra. Anderson, Gharst, Logan and Brown back to green. The last two laps would see little passing, other than Ra. Anderson grabbing second on the last lap to complete a nice run. Lindquist's win was his first in a 410 at Knoxville. 360s Heat one (started, *qualified for feature): 1. Mitch Runge 28 (1*) 2. Bryan Dobesh 2D (4*) 3. Brett Mather 54 (3*) 4.

Rick Ideus 5 (6*) 4. Josh Higday 2x (8*) 5. Troy Meyer 11m (3) 6. Russ Hall 29 (5) 7. Frankie Heimbaugh 04 (7) 8. Larry Pinegar II 00 (9) DNS - Tim Newman 18 (4) Anderson led flag to flag.

Pete Crall 1 (6*) 3. Jake Peters 57x (4*) 4. Joe Beaver (7*) 5. John Schulz 2 (2) 6. Mike Houseman Jr. Y2 (8) 7. Matt Moro 2m (5) 8. Tyler Thompson 48 (9) 9.

Glen Hunt G74 (4) DNS - Tyler Houseman 50 (8), David Langford 32L (9) J. Hall led flag to flag. Sather made the move of the race, outdueling D. Hall on the high side to grab fourth and a transfer. B main (started): 1. Meyer (2) 2. Houseman Jr. (4) 3. Bakker (1) 4. D. Hall (5) / 5. R. Hall (7) 6. Van Haaften (10) 7. Schulz (3) 8. Moro (12) 9. Roberts (9) 10. Thompson (14) 11. Swenson (6) 12. Pinegar (15) 13. Heimbaugh (11) 14. Lenz (17) 15. Newman (19) 16. Heskin (8) 17. Hunt (13) 18. CJ Houseman (16) 19. Selvage (18) DNS - Langford, T. Houseman Swenson jumped the start and was sent to the rear from outside row three. On the second try at green, Heskin got over the right rear of Houseman Jr. and vaulted into the turn one fence. He collected CJ Houseman, Selvage and Hunt in the carnage. No one was hurt, but all were done. Meyer shot out to a lead in the 10 lapper and was never headed. A main (started): 1. Dobesh (2) 2. Schneiderman (1) 3. Crall (6) 4. Peters (11) 5. J. Hall (4) 6. Anderson (5) 7. Higday (15) 8. Mitrisin (9) 9. Beaver (12) 10. Sather (13) 11. Mather (14) 12. Bakker (19) 13. Zoutte (8) 14.

Meyer (17) Dobesh grabbed the point and never looked back in the 15 lapper for his first Knoxville win. Meyer and Houseman Jr. contacted on lap five, with Meyer getting upside down. Peters was the mover after the restart, mastering the low side of the track to pick his way forward. Higday was in eighth by lap five, but could gain only one more position the final 10 laps.
