KNOXVILLE, Iowa (August 6, 2011) – Kevin Swindell scored his second win of the season, and the second win of his career at the Knoxville Raceway Saturday night.
The event was sanctioned by the All Star Circuit of Champions.  The Rookie of the Year candidate led every lap and his win was worth $5,000.
Brian Brown, returning from a scary crash on Friday night, suffered damage after contact with Jason Johnson before a lap could be completed in the 20-lap feature.  Brown retired at tha point.  Swindell started in the second row, but was able to use the low groove to shoot by front row starters, Tyler Walker and quick-timer, Daryn Pittman, when the green flap dropped.  Read more...

KNOXVILLE, Iowa (August 5, 2011) – Sammy Swindell of Germantown, Tennessee, won the second qualifying main event for the 21st Annual Arnold Motor Supply 360 Knoxville Nationals, stealing what looked like it might be a birthday victory from Wayne Johnson.
The first night of qualifying for the event was postponed by rain, so all cars entered in the Lucas Oil ASCS-sanctioned event ran on Friday, August 5, split into a “Thursday” group and a “Friday” group. Rain also threatened on Friday, but moved out of the area for the show.  Read more...

KNOXVILLE, Iowa (July 5, 2011) –  Persistence paid off for Eric Dailey, as he came out on top of the 20^th Annual Harris Clash for IMCA modifieds at the Knoxville Raceway Tuesday night.  The Armstrong, Iowa driver was awarded the richest win ($2,000) of his career aboard his #7 when Mike Long came up light at the scales after leading the entire 30-lap event.
