Who ya got in your top 5 next Saturday night? Who is your dark horse for the week? Sorry for the early post, just getting excited for both editions of the Nationals!!!

Real race cars don't have fenders...

1 Brian Brown - gets rid of the bad luck and wins taking momentum into the 410s.

2 Billy Alley - earns the pole and leads past halfway until Brown passes and pulls away.

3 Kevin Swindell - hasn't run much but always comes on strong here last few years.

4 Wayne Johnson - hard charger of the race, but runs out of laps to make a run.

5 Terry McCarl - Wins his qualifying night starts outside front row but fades back.

Dark horse - Bryan Clauson - wins in everything he drives, comes out of B for solid A finish.

1. Justin Henderson

2. Terry McCarl

3. Billy Alley

4. Brownie

5. Nate VanHaaften

Dark Horse: John Agan / Russ Hall / Mike Brooks

Keep It Real

1. Wayne Johnson

2. Sam Hafertepe Jr.

3. Brian Brown

4. Johnny Herrera

5. Aaron Reutzel

Dark horse: Danny Jennings, makes main event.

Mike Brooks  - miss seeing him race, but I doubt he's breaking out the Mickow Sprinter anytime soon.....I don't think his kids would let him.

In no particular order:

Henderson

Van Haaften

Herrerra

Garner

McCarl

Darhorse:  Russ Hall

1. Henderson - Just looking extremely fast and consistent all year/hard to bet against.

2. Brown - Just par for the course for Browns year as he will just come up just short in 2nd.

3. Zomer - Showed he can be as fast as Henderson and Tmac last week and he is on fire right now.

4. Alley - 2 for 2? Not bad He will be in the top 5 for sure. With a slick/racey surface I wouldnt be surprised if Alley takes it all.

5. Garner - Just a 360 expert at Knoxville who is rarely outside the top 5 of any 360 event at Knoxville

My dark horse is Van Haaften - Although hes made the list on here a couple of times when you look at how many times he has won at Knoxville compared to the rest of my list and he would be clearly the underdog. However the speed that car has shown this year and the way he runs the bottom makes him extremely dangerous.

No love for the outsiders. Sorry to not pick any ASCS guys or travelers but the current class at Knoxville 360/410s are just so solid this year.

1. Henderson- him and his crew have there shit together for kvill. He is crazy fast.

2. Brown- he has been a little off this year but always shows up during nationals time.

3. Tmac- he can run the bottom at kville better then anybody.

4. Kevin Swindell- He is always fast at kville. 

5. Danny Lasoski- the 1M car is always fast and like Tmac he knows how to run the bottom.

My dark horse is Russ Hall. If he can get his motor back in time. The guy can race with the best, knows how to run the bottom at kville, and he has won at kville before. He just needs a little luck on his side. 

1. Wayne Johnson

2. Dude

3. Justin Henderson

4. T-Mac

5. Aaron Reutzel

Throw Brian Brown in the mix as a wild card, but man he's had some terrible luck this year. I can't wait for some dirt in my beer at Knoxville.

1. Sammy

2. Dude

3. Brown

4. Hannigan

5. Kevin

Dark Horse: Sheldon

1 Henderson

2 Kevin Swindell

3 Brian Brown

4 Billey Alley

5 Danny Lasoski

Darkhorse  Cornell and Mark Smith

I take it Shane Stewart isn't running?

Running with the Outlaws for points he will be at the Ironman 55 in Missouri. Otherwise that guy is always a threat at the 360 nationals.

Dark horse - Mark Smith. Dominant in Central Pennsylvania in the 360 division and had a huge win down in Florida to open the year. 

1. Aaron Reutzel

2. Brian Brown

5. Wayne Johnson

Darkhorse - Seth Bergman

Ian Madsen has been on a tear in the #18 360 .. Won the ASCS show last night and a couple JSTS shows a week or so back. Knows his way around Knoxville. Henderson has gotta be the man to beat , bad fast 360 for sure and really is smooth .
