(KNOXVILLE, IA) The second event of the 2018 ASRS Home Tracks Series saw the Dirt Racing Series hit the Knoxville Raceway for the first time in ASRS history. With the Modifieds and Driven Designz Sprint Cars on track the night was sure to see some excitement. Both races featured 19 drivers going to battle at the Knoxville Raceway.
The Modifieds hit the track as the sun was beginning to set in ths sky and it was all about Jared Mogard. Mogard started on pole and led all 40 laps to pick up the victory in one of the most entertaining races we’ve seen on dirt.
While there weren’t any lead changes the battle for the top spot saw things get three, four and at one time five cars stormed into turn 1 all door to door trying to take the win. Following Mogard across the finish line was Brad Cross in second, Jeff Ward third, Tim Knott and Kris Titus rounded out the top five.
Next up was the Driven Designz Sprint Car Series, which saw a heavily used track for the drop of the green flag. The track turned slick by the time the race got underway and it was David Kilanowski leading all 30 laps, Jeff Ward ran the entire race in second and finished there. John Kennedy was third followed by Todd Laboube and Kris Titus who came from 19th to finish 5th. The win was Kilanowski’s first ASRS win.
Next up for the Home Tracks Series is a trip to the Pennsylvania mountains and Williams Grove Speedway. Both the Driven Designz Sprint Cars and Modifieds will be ready to duel on the dirt.
