It could be called one of the weirdest nights ever at the Knoxville Raceway on Saturday…and it almost did not happen. At about 6:30 on Saturday, the raceway grounds lost all power and forced track officials to hold up the night for over two hours. After Mid-American Energy repaired the problem, the lights came on and racing went on. Austin McCarl was crowned the 410 champion after he finished runner-up in the A-Main to Kerry Madsen. McCarl told KNIA/KRLS how special it was to win the same track title his father Terry had won seven times in his career. Clint Garner claimed the 360 title. His road to the title was not going to be easy as he needed to finish no worse than eighth in the A-Main to outscore Ryan Giles, however Giles had a mechanical issue on the first lap and was never a factor. Jon Agan picked up his second win of the season. Eric Bridger had already nailed down the 305 title by the time the A-Main took the green flag. Ryan Leavitt won the 305 feature to close out his season on second place in points. Racing is not over at the Knoxville Raceway, the Flat Track motorcycles will be coming to the half mile on September eighth, and the Lucas Oil Late Model Nationals in mid-September.
