  1. 18YO Ryan Timms wins the 64th #KnoxvilleNationals in a stellar flag-to-flag run. At times he was 4 sec. in front of P2 Carson Macedo.

    Thru several restarts, Timms nailed his lead every time, each time walking the field to pull several seconds out in front. This is unheard of with this much talent in the field in the biggest race of the year for $195K to win.

    Massive speed, a perfect setup, and a flawless run. He'll be a serious contender in what should be a long career.

  6. Well, tonight is the conclusion of the four-day #KnoxvilleNationals, aka the Super Bowl of #Sprintcar #racing

    Based on the #IAWX forecast of TS and possible +TS in the area today and tonight, it will be a MIRACLE if this event is not cancelled.

    The track prep crew at Knoxville is best in the country, but too much rain means too slick of a track, and 900+HP, 1,400 lb. race cars do not do well on slippery surfaces.

  7. Big national shout-out on Facebook to Jacksonville, Oregon's Tanner Holmes and the beautiful 18T from the national World of Outlaws media team. He is in what is called the "Hard Knox" show tonight, a full format show with P1 thru P4 in the A main locking into the $195,000-to-win Nationals feature Saturday.

    I say it was that incredible paint scheme (OK, technically a wrap) that caught their attention so they highlighted him. Great for national exposure.

  12. For the two people on here who care about #sprintcar #racing, Southern Oregon's Tanner Holmes in the 18T qualified 31st, but won heat race 1 by a margin of 1.8 seconds. This puts him in the A main tonight.

    These two prelim nights of the #KnoxvilleNationals is all about logging points, and Holmes racked up a huge amount of them on his quest to get into the big show Saturday for a chance to race for $190,000 to win.

  13. Pretty cool watching out local Southern #Oregon #sprintcar driver, Tanner Holmes back at the #KnoxvilleNationals, aka the Super Bowl of Sprint Car racing.

    It is a four-day show, and Holmes qualifies the 18T tonight to try and get into the A main Saturday for the big prize.

    He's picked up Brad Sweet's former Crew Chief, and the 18T has an incredible new Nationals paint scheme, red on the right, blue on the left.

    Raudman Rundown has Holmes making the A main Saturday.

  14. Since this is #KnoxvilleNationals week in the #sprintcar #racing world, I thought I'd share my Knoxville story.

    In 1984, my first wife and I drove her Toyota Starlet to Knoxville, Iowa's big half-mile dirt (clay) oval so I could photograph the races for National Speed Sport News.

    While walking across the track to shoot in turns 3 & 4, I slipped and dropped my LowePro bag full of 35mm film camera equipment.

    I still have the bag, and it still has the stains from that luscious Knoxville clay.
