Beuseling and Sobbing win the Late Models and Sport Mods at the Harris Clash

It was time to make a return visit to the Knoxville Raceway for the 2nd half of the 20th Annual Harris Clash. This night would have the Deery Brothers Summer Series Late Models for their 25th Anniversary Season and The IMCA Sport Mods. 59 Sport Mods signed in and 38 Late Models signed in to compete on the big half mile at the Marion County Fairgrounds in Knoxville.

The Deery Brothers Summer Series 35 Lap feature for the Late Models was up first and it was was Nate Beuseling taking the lead by using the high line before moving back to the perferred line on the inside. Beuseling would start to pull away until he started to encounter lap traffic which would allow Todd Cooney to close the gap.

Beuseling would go and take the feature event by several car lengths over Cooney in the feature that went green-to-checkered. Mike Garland, Jay Johnson and Matt Strassheim rounded out the top 5 meanwhile Brian Harris, Ray Guss Jr, Nick Marolf, Andy Eckrich and Justin Reed rounding out the top 10.

In the IMCA Sport Mod feature 20 lap feature event it was Jesse Sobbing would take the lead from the start by passing Beau Kaplan in turn 2. In which he would cruise on to the win in a convincing fashion. Austin Kaplan would finish behind Sobbing with several lap cars between them. Gillenwater took 3rd, Carter VanDenBerg was 4th, Beau Kaplan was 5th, Tyler Droste was 6th, Doug Smith was 7th, Racer Hulin was 8th, Cayden Carter was 9th and Andy Tiernan was 10th.

Racing action came to a finish at 10:20p. I a big thanks to Bob Harris, Bobby Harris, IMCA and Knoxville Raceway for 2 great nights of the Harris Clash.
