Knoxville Night One



Good evening all, or rather morning to you guys back at home.

Night one has been and gone and there was some great racing. Our Aussies did really well in the qualifying stage.
Our Aussie racers tonight were;
Lynton Jeffries;
Max Dumsney;
Domain Ramsey;
Trevor Green;
Bruce White;
Kerry Madsen;
Jamie Veal

All our Aussies did well in the time trials with Madsen the top time out of our boys.

Heat one saw Dumsney in first place after a restart, and Jeffries chasing him the whole time.

Ramsey, White, Madsen, Veal all made the B main, while the rest made the A. Out of tonight Madsen was the stand out. In the mains you needed to place in top 4 to qualify for going onto the next main. In the B, Madsen had Jason Meyers lined up for fourth spot on the back straight but Meyers gave him a tap sending him back on the last lap to finish fifth. Unlucky for Meyers instead of weighing in he went straight to his car bay for 10 seconds then his crew wheeled him back for the weigh in. After lots of controversy and the Madman doing what his well known for, Meyers was disqualified leaving Madsen with the fourth place to go to the A Main. Madsen made it from 24th to 7th in 25 laps. He was unbelievably fast in the #3 Halls Haulage car, he just kept lining them up one by one running them down passing the likes of Jason Johnson, Joey Saldana, Brad Sweet, Tim Schaffer, Erin Crocker, max Dumsney and Lynton Jeffrey.

Across the line was Shane Stewart who won the A main and has 3 wins under his belt from Knoxville in the last 6 days. He has also claimed the Knoxville 360 title last weekend. Second was Craig Dollansky and third place went to Chad Kemenah.

Time for bed, we'll check in with you all tomorrow night after Qualifying night two.
