Haase Wins Again at Knoxville on Slideways Karting Center Night

After waiting to see what Mother Nature decided to do i made the decision to drive down to the Sprint Car Capital World in the Knoxville Raceway for Slideways Karting Center Night where 93 cars signed in to race.

Quick times was set at 15.286 in the 410 Sprints by "The Dude" Danny Lasoski, Justin Henderson with a 16.144 in the 360's and 18 year old McKenna Haase set quick time in 305 Sprints with a 17.568.

Heat Winners in the 305 Sprints included Tanner Edwards, Kade Higday and Mitchell Alexander. 360 Sprints heats went to Henderson, Nate Van Haaften and Jack Dover. Matt Moro, Dustin Selvage, Kraig Kinser and Brian Brown.

After a quick intermission the b-mains in both the 360's and 410's came on to the track and it was Matt Moro winning the b-main in the 360's meanwhile after fixing a drive line, "T-Mac" Terry McCarl won the b-main in the 410's.

McKenna Haase led the entire way in the 305 Sprints feature that was shortened from 12 laps to ten laps because of a handful of cautions. First caution came out when Bob Weuve got in to the turn two fence. On lap three, Trevor Smith, running fourth at the time, flipped in turn one. Devin Kline broke a dragline on lap four in turn four, Josh Jones spun in turn one on lap six and Kevin Hetrick rolled in turn two on lap eight. At this point the time had expired forcing track crew to call for a green-white-checkered. Haase did not get a great restart but she managed to hang out to get her second career win at Knoxville, both of which came in 2015. Stacey Alexander finished a close second, Christian Bowman was third, Kade Higday, Matthew Stelzer, Ben Woods, Mike Mayberry, Brad Comegys, Jeff Wilke and Tanner Edwards rounded out the top ten.

Justin Henderson set quick time and won his heat race and he hoped to make the sweep in the 360 Sprints feature and he appeared to be heading that way by jumping out to the early lead but the caution came out on lap six when Keoni Texiera did a 360 spin in turn two. A lap later the caution came out again on lap seven for Tasker Phillips spinning on the front stretch after he avoided to hit Nate Van Haaften. Henderson restarted ahead of Billy Alley and Russ Hall. Hall experienced damage after contact from Clint Garner on lap nine forcing the final stoppage. Henderson pulled away but "Rockin Roll" Billy Alley chase down Henderson and when Henderson lost some momentum in traffic. Alley took the win with Henderson finishing second. Van Haaften, Garner and Tony Shilling rounded out the top five. Calvin Landis, Joe Beaver, Jack Dover, hard-charger Matt Moro and Jon Agan finished sixth through tenth.

Danny Lasoski dominated the 410 Sprints feature by leading all 20 laps to take his 103rd win at the famous Knoxville Raceway. "The Madman" Kerry Madsen came home second, "T-Mac" Terry McCarl finished third, David Gravel was fourth and Ian Madsen was fifth.  Paul McMahan, Brown, Jason Sides, Davey Heskin and Kraig Kinser rounded out the top ten.

Saturday Night the Knoxville Raceway will host the World Of Outlaw Sprint Cars for the Mediacom Shootout plus the 360 Sprints will be in action. 305 Sprints get the night off.
