More on the Line for Mid-Season Championship Night Saturday!

(Bill W) It's hard to believe we are already to Farm Bureau Mid-season Championship Night, but time flies when you're having fun! With a higher purse on the line, expect the best in the business to be at Knoxville Raceway this Saturday night!

“Blackjack” Brian Brown was able to secure his first feature win of the year on June 6, and he’s hoping to make it two in a row in the 410 class. Point leader, “Hollywood” Johnny Herrera, wants to bounce back from some misfortune and gain his fourth feature win of the season.

Former track champs like “The Mad Man” Kerry Madsen, Skip “Action” Jackson and “Tornado” Billy Alley will take aim at the increased purse with the 410 class! Add Aussie Lynton Jeffrey, “Dynamite” Mark Dobmeier, “Zoom Zoom” Dusty Zomer, Don Droud Jr. and Bronson Maeschen and you’ve got the perfect recipe for another great race at Knoxville!

The 360 class will also hit the big half-mile. On June 6, Brett Mather grabbed his fifth career win, and first as a car owner. Sioux Falls native Clint Garner will be in hot pursuit of his first win of the year. The point leader has been impressive. Nebraskan Ryan Roberts, South Dakota natives, Bryan Dobesh and Gregg Bakker, Johnny “Lightning” Anderson, Jon Agan, “The Beav” Dennis Moore Jr., Nate Van Haaften, and impressive rookies like Chad Humston and Jonathan Cornell will add to the competitive mix as well.

In addition the 305 sprints will run a full program, setting up a sprint car tripleheader! Rob Kubli won the first feature with the 305's on June 6.
