The 2021 sprint car season comes to a close tonight at the Knoxville Raceway and two of the three classes have a total of six drivers still vying for a track championship. In the 360s, Ryan Giles, who has finished runner-up multiple times in his career at Knoxville, has an 80 point lead over Seven-Time Champion Clint Garner, and is 104 points ahead of 3rd place Jamie Ball. All three drivers still have a mathematical chance of clinching the track championship. There is slightly less margin for error in the 410s with Davey Heskin leading by 79 points over Justin Henderson and 86 points clear of Brian Brown with all three still with a shot at the title. For Heskin, a title would mean everything for his race team, plus it would mean some redemption from nine years ago when he came within 11 points of winning the track title.

Heskin:
“I get goosebumps when I think about it, and I want to get to a point that we’re in contention for it, that’s our ultimate goal.”

The Pro Sprints Class, while not officially clinched, has been dominated by Tyler Gronenedyk with his nine podiums leading by 266 points. Join KNIA for flag-to-flag action tonight starting with Live Track Side at 5:00, and Race Nights Live at 7:00.
