Inside Line Promotions – OSKALOOSA, Iowa (Aug. 14, 2019) – Alex Hill enjoyed a successful week of racing in Iowa with career-best finishes during the Lucas Oil ASCS National Tour’s 29th annual My Place Hotels 360 Knoxville Nationals presented by Great Southern Bank and the Sage Fruit Ultimate Challenge presented by Searsboro Telephone Co.

Hill closed out her 360 Knoxville Nationals weekend on Aug. 3 with a 14th-place finish in the C Main after starting 17th during the marquee event hosted by Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville.

“We were pretty happy with our results this year at the 360 Nationals and have our best finish there,” she said. “We still need to work on some things, but we were glad to be able to run all of our laps and gain some more experience there.”

Hill qualified 19th out of 54 cars during her preliminary night on Aug. 2 to get her weekend off to a good start.

“We were especially happy with our qualifying lap at Knoxville,” she said. “It might look like it was because we went out early, but we were the second car out last year and still didn’t do well. A year of experience has helped and I felt a lot more comfortable at Knoxville this year than I have before.”

Hill placed fifth in a heat race and 19th in the B Main to cap her preliminary night.

She also had her best run at Southern Iowa Speedway the following Tuesday among a field of 34 cars. While Hill was able to improve her position in her heat race by two spots, a poor draw forced her into the B Main, in which she raced to a transfer position before continuing on to finish 16th in the A Main.

“We had a really fast car in Oskaloosa,” she said. “Daryl had us hooked up on the bottom of the track and I was able to pass a number of cars. We were up to about 13th when a late restart hurt us a bit. But other than that we had a really good night.”

Hill is looking forward to a rare weekend at home when she races at Ohsweken Speedway in Ohsweken, Ontario, Canada, this Friday.

“I always look forward to racing at my home track,” she said. “I’m anxious to see how much racing on the road has helped us when we run a local race.”
