6/6/08

Knoxville Raceway

WoO


53 cars

Jason Meyers (22nd car out to time) set quick time at 14.969 seconds and was the only car under the 15 second mark. Donny Schatz (35th car out) was second quick, followed by Joey Saldana (14th), Danny Lasoski (43rd), Steve Kinser (36th), Tim Shaffer (31st), Dusty Zomer (23rd), Jason Johnson (39th), Davey Heskin (41st) and Terry McCarl (10th). The track held up well throughout time trials. Kerry Madsen had to take a lap at the end out of order because of side panel issues. He would have been eighth quick had his time been allowed, but the best he could record was 17th quick. Lucas Wolfe had the same problem as mechanical issues had him go late. His time would have been good enough for fourth quick. Saldana completed two motor changes before his heat.

Heat one (started): 1. Jac Haudenschild R19 (1) 2. Heskin 56 (2) 3. Meyers 14 (4) 4. S. Kinser 11 (3) 5. Kerry Madsen 55 (5) / 6. Jason Sides 7s (8) 7. Dion Hindi 11D (7) 8. Brian Paulus 28 (6) 9. Toni Lutar 4x (11) 10. Travis Cram 17G (9) 11. Natalie Sather 94s (12) 12. Justin Henderson D1 (10) 13. Ryan Anderson 71R (13) DNS - Randy Anderson 81

Haudenschild led flag to flag in the 8-lapper. Heskin was the show of the heat, holding off S. Kinser for second and the final transfer to the dash for seven laps, before Henderson blew a right rear tire on the white flag lap. Heskin shut the door again on the restart, and staved off a late bid from Meyers who got around S. Kinser.

Heat two (started): 1. McCarl 24 (2) 2. Schatz 15 (4) 3. Craig Dollansky 2 (1) 4. Chad Kemenah 8K (6) 5. Lucas Wolfe 5w (5) / 6. Stevie Smith 19 (7) 7. Shaffer 6 (3) 8. Jack Dover 53 (8) 9. Josh Schneiderman 49 (9) 10. Mike Moore 69 (12) 11. Randy Hannagan 1x (10) 12. Kraig Kinser 20 (11) 13. Tony Shilling 47T (13)

McCarl led the distance in a mostly single-file affair.

Heat three (started): 1. Shane Stewart 83 (2) 2. Saldana 9 (4) 3. Sam Hafertepe Jr. 15H (1) 4. Zomer 5z (3) 5. Brian Brown 21x (9) / 6. Jake Peters 57x (8) 7. Chad Hillier 5c (6) 8. Calvin Landis 70 (11) 9. Kaley Gharst 7K (12) 10. Billy Alley 22 (7) 11. Seth Brahmer 13v (10) 12. Derek Ingalls 91 (13) 13. Daryn Pittman 21 (5)

Stewart led throughout to set a new 8-lap record at 2:00.4. Pittman held down the fifth and final transfer spot until rear-end problems sidelined him with two to go. Perseverance payed off for Brown who assumed the spot from row five.

Heat four (started): 1. Tony Bruce Jr. 18 (1) 2. Brooke Tatnell 11AU (2) 3. J. Johnson 19E (3) 4. Lasoski 5 (4) 5. Ricky Logan 10 (8) / 6. Bronson Maeschen 96 (5) 7. Rager Phillips 9P (6) 8. Lynton Jeffrey 12 (13) 9. Brandon Wimmer 7TW (7) 10. Jeff Mitrisin 47 (11) 11. Mark Dobmeier 13 (12) 12. Skip Jackson 2x (9) 13. Bob Weuve 19w (10)

Bruce led flag to flag. Logan circled the third row of Maeschen and Phillips to take fifth on the first lap and never look back. Dobmeier moved up four spots before shelling his rear-end on lap five and exiting. Jackson and Weuve were other early retirees.

C main (started): 1. Hannagan (2) 2. K. Kinser (6) / 3. Brahmer (3) 4. Sather (12) 5. Landis (7) 6. Dobmeier (11) 7. Weuve (4) 8. Moore (9) 9. Ingalls (10) 10. Lutar (5) 11. Shilling (13) 12. Ry. Anderson (8) 13. Henderson (1) DNS - Mitrisin, Gharst, Jeffrey, Ra. Anderson

Hannagan checked out in the non-stop 10 lapper. Henderson was in the second and final transfer when he went pitside on lap five. Sather was impressive, moving up eight spots in her first 410 Knoxville start of 2008. Ry. Anderson pulled off after losing his left wing side panel.

Dash (started): 1. Tatnell (2) 2. Bruce Jr. (1) 3. Schatz (6) 4. McCarl (3) 5. Stewart (5) 6. Haudenschild (8) 7. Meyers (9) 8. Saldana (7) 9. Heskin (4) 10. Lasoski (10)

Tatnell led the field wire to wire in the 6-lapper determining the starting five rows of the A.

B main (started): 1. Shaffer (1) 2. Paulus (4) 3. Pittman (2) 4. Hillier (5) / 5. Smith (8) 6. Hindi (7) 7. Maeschen (3) 8. Alley (9) 9. Wimmer (10) 10. Sides (11) 11. Dover (12) 12. Jackson (16) 13. Peters (13) 14. K. Kinser (18) 15. Hannagan (17) 16. Cram (14) 17. Phillips (6) 18. Schneiderman (15)

Shaffer led the 12-lap duration in a mostly uneventful race. Schneiderman, Phillips and Cram, who left smoking were early casualties.

A main (started): 1. Stewart (5) 2. Schatz (3) 3. Meyers (7) 4. Bruce Jr. (2) 5. Haudenschild (6) 6. Saldana (8) 7. Lasoski (10) 8. Hafertepe Jr. (16) 9. Shaffer (12) 10. Dollansky (15) 11. S. Kinser (11) 12. Wolfe (18) 13. Madsen (17) 14. J. Johnson (14) 15. Pittman (19) 16. Kemenah (21) 17. Brown (24) 18. Hillier (22) 19. Zomer (13) 20. Tatnell (1) 21. Heskin (9) 22. Logan (23) 23. McCarl (4) 24. Paulus (20)

The first try at green saw Paulus drawing contact from another car after a good start, and flip into turn two. He was unhurt. Hillier suffered wing damage, put on a new one, and restarted at the rear. Tatnell got the jump on Bruce and led early in the 25-lapper. McCarl was lightning on the high side and pressure Bruce Jr. for second on lap three, when something let go in the rear-end, ending his night early. Before a lap could be completed, Zomer came out of gear and restarted at the tail. Tatnell led Bruce Jr., Schatz, Stewart and Haudenschild back to green flag racing. Schatz eventually got around Bruce, and set his sights on the leader. Despite several bids, he failed to make the pass for the point. Tatnell struck disaster on lap 18 when a puff of smoke signified a problem under the hood and he slowed to a stop. Schatz assumed the lead on the restart ahead of a surging Stewart, Bruce Jr., Meyers and Haudenschild. Stewart was noticeably faster than Schatz, but the leader did a good job of blocking the second place car before Heskin blew a right rear with three to go. A lap after the restart, Stewart was too much for Schatz and flew by him coming out of turn two. He pulled away for his third 410 win at Knoxville and fifth overall. It was worth $10,000. Hafertepe Jr. earned hard-charger honors, surging forward eight spots.

Heskin kid looked really good for a low dollar team. They have a box cargo trailer and a dually pick up. TSR # 20 wheels and tires on their toter and trailer would probably buy the entire 56 car operation. But then again running 2nd in the "C" and 14th in the "B" should make Tony Stewart feel really proud. Any one got TK 's cell phone number handy???

I'd love to say this to the chagrin of some. but many of the former recent 360 competitors kicked some good butt in that race.

Shane Stewart, Tony Bruce Jr., Sam Hafertepr Jr., and Jason Johnson are those most recently to have competed often to full time in a 360. congrats to Lucas Wolfe on a fine run against a stout 53 car field. good for him. hope even better things are in story for tomorrow.

man the problems with kraig kinser just dont seem to end. i mean - having one of the 3 best funded teams on the WoO and cant do anything. it aint just inconsistency - he aint doin nothin.

most of all congrats to shane stewart. we watched him just decimate the field at the 360 nationals last year in the HD #1 car. that was worth 10k too i believe. but thats fantastic for stewart to put it on schatz. i mean that is really awesome. so bill w what do you rate the race. from the recaps it kinda sounds like not much passing the whole night.

OKC fan, I agree with you....not that it means too much! (smiley face here I don't know how)!!!

I think, as if that means anything, it is long past time that SMOKE got himself a new crew chief.

THE DUDE, PAULIE and now KRAIG and it isn't getting done. What would be the logical thing to do in a situation like this? Change tires? Chassis? Motors? Naw...I say change crew chiefs.

I agree OKC! Man, it would have been great to see Shane win and pass Schatzy at Knoxville. I've been a Shane Stewart fan since I first saw him race in 99 at the Ohio Speedweek Finale at Attica. He's got talent and it's good to see he's starting to be very consistant of late with the Roth Team. He deserves it. Way to go Shane!

There is alot of Local drivers that could do that or alot better if they had the chance in the #20. what Kraig does in that car is at best a high funded poor local team. I can think of one driver that was not at Knoxville that would fit well in that car if the name Dobmier rings a bell.

Dobmier was there. You just have to look way at the bottom for his qualifying time, 48th out of 53 cars. Heat #4 11th out of 13. Pulled in. Been real impressive at Huset's the last couple weeks too. You've heard of the Back Street Boys, these guys at Husets are starting to be called the Backup Car Boys....

Hey, Ken #9, Is that a picture of Matt Spies you have. I would not be slamming Mark D. anytime when your driver very rarely left the Jackson porch. Matt could not even carry Mark's helmet bag.

i would love to see new talents to 410 racing across the board - knoxville locals, ascs drivers, pa posse drivers. i mean some new blood on the WoO tour. but no matter what - that ride should go to TIM KAEDING. I thought he got screwed because of the angling gone on to get the truck failure kraig kinser in that car............when i think tim kaeding was the obvious best candidate. dont get me wrong there are others who deserve it to - i think McMahon is a great driver, as is lasoski, and solwold is goos too. but the moment the 20 car came open last year there was a reason everyone felt kaeding should be in that car. he's a gasser and then some - the most promising out of the group i just mentioned. some kinser fans made the argument that TK tears up a lot of stuff.............well lets take a 2nd look at it. I bet stewart would still come out more in the plus with kaeding winning and flipping - then he would with a driver who cant seem to hardly make a feature or if he does advance in one. Putting KK in that car over kaeding was about as smart as keeping that fella who does the track prep at eldora. never been there but sure sounds like folks are burnt out on that guy.

its great you guys acknowledged #56 Davey Heskin, this kid goes from strength to strength, i was in the bull pen at Knoxville last night, and in the heat, Kinser & then Meyers both busted their butts to get by him, but every time they tried he out powered them out of turn 2 and made distance from them,

and Brooke, what can you say, first time this year he has outgunned the field, including the best the outlaws have to offer.... what a disappointment for him (and me) when the car broke.... first time he had the car jumpin' only for that to happen... we can only hope he finally found the right combination for this track.... tonights another night.... onya Tattnell.... go you good thing.... aussie aussie aussie....

Hey. Azteca, in my opinion, the TSR 20 is a penalty box - regardless of who the driver is....so I'm not so sure that TK would prosper in it....

Isn't it amazing that this once proud team can't even leverage the knowledge/experience of Ricky Warner, from the TSR 15?

Nice to see www.sam15.com with another strong run.

Hope the weather holds out so they can get tonight in. Sounds like the 'big' stuff isn't supposed to roll in until after midnight and into Sunday.

And the Sunday forecast for STL looks good at this point too...could it be possible to get in 3 WoO races on the same weekend!?

if i remember correctly TK got a shot in the 20 car last year for 5 or 6 races. He also couldn't make the feature and tore up a car. and didn't finish the 1 main he made because he took out his team car. NEXT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The problem with the 20 car isn't the drivers it's had. I'd be looking at the crew cheif. Maybe McMahan really IS better than some people think, when you look at the overall picture the last few years.

Shane had the fastest car on the track. Schatz couldn't do anything with the 83 except block for as long as possible. Steve Kent has THE hot chassis deal right now. Shane and Meyers 1st and 3rd.

Davey Heskin improves every week. if this kid raced 2-3 times a week, he'd soon be a star in this sport.

Brooke burnt a piston in a brand new motor. He looked great all night.

Where was Wayne Johnson?

Saldana changed at least two engines (maybe three) and a rear end during the night. That seems to be an ongoing situation for them. Joey was also saying they couldn't get the car loose enough.

No more than 1,500 people in the grandstand on a beautiful night for racing. If it's because Friday racing or the first night of a WoO event doesn't do well, so be it. If the weather cooperates (it's warm, sunny and windy here at 11am), there should be no reason why a big crowd shouldn't be in attendence tonight.Anything less than 5,000 would be a disappointment.

Give Zomer a chance in the 20 car too. Times in 7th with a very low budget team. Very one else races a couple times a week and races once a week. But is sharper than most of the people that race 3 or 4 times a week. The kid just needs a break in sponsorship. Good job Zomer last night

I'll echo the Zomer sentiments as well. The Zoomer is a gasser.

Ask Zomer why he does not have the Bargain Barn sponsorship? That is why the 57x is running 410 at Knoxville this year. Zomer burned a bridge
