Porter Wins Osky Hobby Stock Special!

Wednesday night at the Southern Iowa Speedway was a cold one. With temperatures in the low 50’s and steady wind out of the north-west we saw a lot of jackets, blankets, gloves, hats, and hot chocolate.  The low attendance on this night was a shame as the racing on the track was the best we have seen all year.  The Hobby Stocks were racing for $500 to win on this night and four-time Winston Cup Series race winner Ken Schrader was in attendance with this Modified.

2015 Knoxville Raceway 360 Preview

The Knoxville Raceway 360 class should be highly competitive.  Justin Henderson returns in the BDS Motorsports #1 and will try to defend their 2014 owner’s championship while Henderson will compete for 410 driver points only.  The driver’s championship will be a tough one with several strong contenders.

Joe Beaver won his first Lucas Oil Knoxville Championship Cup in 2014 and won three features. Beaver has to be considered the favorite coming into the season but he will have the target on his back this year with several good drivers trying to win the championship.

Jon Agan is sure to be a contender for his first championship. He finished 177 points behind Beaver last year and although he didn’t get a win at Knoxville he had just as many top five finishes (seven) as Beaver did, and he won the Sprint Invaders championship. I look for Agan to be better in 2015 and win some features.

2015 Knoxville Raceway 410 Preview

Thanks to Lucas Oil and MavTV national television, the 2015 Knoxville Championship Cup Series season will have a field of competitors that is stronger than ever.  A check for $20,000 awaits the KCCS champion at the end of the season and there are 17 nights of racing to see who comes out on top.  The season begins this Saturday, April 18 and the KCCS finals are August 29. 

Ian Madsen won his first Lucas Oil Knoxville Championship Cup in 2014 after compiling three feature wins, seven top five’s, and 11 top ten finishes last year.  After a solid second place finish in 2013 the KCP Racing team stepped up in 2014 to win the title. Now the target is on their back but they are not by any means resting on their laurels. The team raced with the World of Outlaws on the west coast in the month of March to get ready for this year after making a change in chassis manufacturers. Ian once again raced this winter in his homeland of Australia and his reflexes should be as sharp as ever.
