Knoxville Two-fer
After making quick work building a car, Clint Garner saw his team’s hard fought effort pay big dividends. In the Knoxville 360 feature he reeled in the leader and was able to slide across turn three and take the point on lap 12. Garner then pulled away on a last restart to win his 32nd career Knoxville Raceway feature with his SCHNEE car. This comes ahead of fellow EMi driver Ryan Giles who placed in the second position.
Dobmeier will be taking the beef back to Grand Forks, North Dakota after conquering South Central Co-op Night at Knoxville Raceway and the Marion County Fair Saturday. In addition to the $4,000 winner’s share, the driver of the Jimco Racing/Polaris #13 EAGLE took home a half a beef as well for his 14th career victory here. Dobmeier pulled away on a last restart riding the cushion. “Perfect!” said Dobmeier in Victory Lane next to his prize steer. “We like steak! Our crew has been working hard all year long. We’ve had a strong car wherever we’ve gone…short tracks or big tracks. We’re just finally getting some wins to prove it.”
The Nebraska 360 Sprints vs. the Midwest Sprint Touring Series at Park Jefferson Speedway saw Nebraska’s Cody Ledger find the remnants of the cushion and hammer his way past a number of cars to challenge for the top spot. Ledger, who was coming off a victory last week, was particularly impressive winning by a couple of tenths of a second over second position in his EAGLE.
