Hy-Vee Night Headlines Marion County Fair Weekend in Knoxville!

(Bill W) The sounds, smells and sights of the fair will be evident this weekend at the Knoxville Raceway on the Marion County Fairgrounds! Saturday night, the chase for the Knoxville Championship Cup continues with Hy-Vee Night for the 360 and 410 sprint cars!

Last week’s Twin Features shook things up considerably. Veterans, “The Dude” Danny Lasoski and Brooke Tatnell, led the way with feature wins in the 410 class. “Tornado” Billy Alley continues his quest to catch Lasoski, who sits on top of the standings. Also in pursuit are Mark Dobmeier, Justin Henderson, “Blackjack” Brian Brown, Calvin Landis, Skip “Action” Jackson, “The Snake” Jake Peters, “Zoom Zoom” Dusty Zomer and “Neon” Dion Hindi. Many more are expected to be in attendance as the action heats up along with the weather!

In the 360 class, it was Clint Garner and Brett Mather, who emerged victorious last Saturday night. The win put Mather at the top of the 360 point standings ahead of Matt Moro, Gregg Bakker, Ryan Roberts, defending track champion Josh Higday, Dustin Selvage, Jesse Giannetto, Dave Hall, Joe Beaver and Natalie Sather!
