Lynton Jeffries starts 13th, pit stop 20th and finishes 21st with a DNF.

Joey Saldana out after 7 laps after he did an engine causing a restart.
We're at the half way break stopping for a 5 minute pit break. Swindell is out in front only just. Some great racing between him and Schatz. Schatz closed in on him whilst they started overlapping the traffic. Kinser was catching now sitting in 3rd, with Schaffer 4th and Brown 5th and that rounds out the top 5.
Madsen is the first Aussie at 11th. He and Davey Heskin have been close since the start battling for 9th.
Kinser out at 16 laps to go, blown his engine. Lynton Jeffrey out at 15 to go.
Restart at 6 laps to go as Brown stops in-between turns 3 and 4, right rear gone.
Sammy and Schatz battling for 1st after the restart, unbelievably great racing then 3 laps to go and left rear tyre goes, his taken a tumble and ended upside down.
After Swindells mishap it looked like it was Schatzs' for the fifth year in a row but it was not meant to be. Tim Shaffer was just that much quicker on turn 3 and 4 and slid Schatz with 2 laps to go.

Congratulations to Tim Shaffer, the Golden Anniversary, 50th Annual Knoxville Champion!


Night all, although I'm that amped up tonight that I don't think I'll be sleeping.
