Birkhofer Battles Hard to Win Lucas Oil Late Model Knoxville Nationals



LOLMDS PR
KNOXVILLE, IA (September 27) - In an incredible finish, Brian Birkhofer passed Scott Bloomquist coming off of turn number four on the final lap to win the 11th Annual Lucas Oil Late Model Knoxville Nationals Presented by Casey's General Stores. Birkhofer; in possibly the last race of his career; earned $40,000 for the win as the huge grandstand crowd came to its feet to cheer on the home-state driver to victory.

Mike Marlar made a late-race charge to finish third, followed by Jimmy Mars, and 31st starting Don O'Neal, who finished fifth to maintain his Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series points lead.

"What a way to go out if this is my last race! Who knows I may be back, but this one here will be hard to top. I got a run out of two on that last lap and I might have lifted for a split second I don't remember. The car stuck on the cushion and I was fortunate enough to get by him. I don't know what happened to him [Bloomquist]. Something might have gone wrong or broke, I'm not sure. In any case, we put our car in victory lane and I couldn't be happier!"



"I want to Mark Richards at Rocket Chassis, and Vic Hill for the help on the engine this weekend. I am sure the crowd really loved that finish! That might be the race of the year, I don't know. The track was so good all night long. We could run anywhere on the track tonight. I hit that berm a few times in turn four and it upset the car a little bit. We had a terrific race there early on with Lanigan. He and I went back-and-forth a few times for the lead there."

Birkhofer led the first 30 laps of the 100-lapper until Lanigan forged ahead. Birkhofer then regained the top spot ten circuits later. Birkhofer stayed in front until Bloomquist took over the point on lap 62. Bloomquist then held a solid lead until Birkhofer and Marlar started to reel him in. Marlar was clocked as the fastest car on the track as he used the top groove of the race track. Just as Birkhofer and Marlar closed to within a few car lengths of Bloomquist, a caution came out with 14 laps to go.

On the restart Bloomquist fired off extremely well as Birkhofer and Marlar lost touch with him. As the laps wound down, Birkhofer started to close the gap. As the two drivers took the white flag, Birkhofer was about 3-4 car lengths behind Bloomquist. As the duo headed down the backstretch, Bloomquist took the low route into turns three and four as Birkhofer stormed to the outside of the track. As the pair came off of turn number four, Birkhofer had the momentum to get by Bloomquist to score the coveted win.



"I have to thank all the fans for their support over the years and thank all of my sponsors, without them I wouldn't be here. I want to thank ASi Racewear, Cheap Cars, Zens Flooring, Ideal Ready Mix, Keyser MFG, Moore Wireline, Holsteen Brothers, Quality Construction Service, and everybody else who helps with the car."

Bloomquist was disappointed at being denied a third victory in the crown jewel event. "Something broke about two laps from the end. I'm not sure if it was a yoke or something. We could hardly get off the scales because something was dragging underneath the car. We had a great car tonight. It's just disappointing to come up that short of winning. I would like to thank Ole Smoky Moonshine, Randy Sweet, Durham Racing Engines, Hawkeye Trucking, and all of my great sponsors for their assistance."

Marlar was happy with his third place run. "We were flying out there, and I was catching the leaders there at the end. The cushion kind of threw me a few times. Our car was free and easy to drive, man I wish that caution hadn't come out. Congratulations to Brian, it's a great win for him.   We can't wait to get back here next year," said the driver of the Ronnie Delk, Delk Equipment Sales, Rocket Chassis.

Completing the top ten in the event were Steve Francis, Jimmy Owens, Frank Heckenast Jr., Chase Junghans, and Chad Simpson.



In preliminary action, Ryan Gustin won the D-Main; Billy Moyer Jr. won the C-Main and Wendell Wallace won the B-Main.

Birkhofer Blasts to Victory on Friday Night at Knoxville Raceway



LOLMDS PR
KNOXVILLE, IA (September 26) - Brian Birkhofer returned to victory lane at Knoxville Raceway during the Lucas Oil Late Model Knoxville Nationals. Birkhofer took the lead from Rodney Sanders on lap 14 and held off a charging Billy Moyer for the win in night number two of the crown jewel event. Trailing Birkhofer and Moyer across the finish line in the 25-lap, preliminary feature were Steve Francis, Brandon Sheppard and Ronnie Sanders.

"Man what a race, to win here at Knoxville is always special. We just got this Vic Hill Racing Engine this week, and this Rocket Chassis has just been spectacular so far. I have to thank all the fans for coming out, this race track never seems to disappoint. After the frustrating run we had here last year it's great to get back to victory lane."

"When you have Mr. Smooth (Billy Moyer) coming up through there you had better look out. He had a real good car tonight as well. That Sanders boy is a pretty good wheelman. I know he has won a lot in the Modifieds. He jumped the cushion a few times and that helped me out, then to battle through traffic like we did tonight, it was just a great night of racing."

With his solid performance on Friday Night, Birkhofer will start on the pole of Saturday Night's 100-lap, $40,000 to win finale in his ASi Racewear, Cheap Cars, Zens Flooring, Keyser MFG, Ideal Ready Mix, Holsteen Brothers and Quality Construction #15B.



Sanders, who entered the event with one career Late Model victory, sprinted out to a comfortable lead at the start of the caution-free event. Bouncing off the cushion in turn four a few times allowed Birkhofer to close rapidly on Sanders, and making the pass for the lead with 11 laps remaining.

Francis made his way into the battle, taking the second spot on lap 19 from Sanders. Moyer, who started 10th, made a run for the lead as he passed Francis and then set his sights on Birkhofer. Moyer pulled alongside of Birkhofer on a couple of occasions, but Birkhofer would hold on for the win.

"After last night we were buried in the points," said Moyer. "We went out and got a couple of Pro Power Engines, and we kept tuning on them tonight, and they really performed well. The track was excellent tonight. You could run anywhere on it," said the driver of the Garnant Family Farms, Henderson Motorsports, Moyer Xtreme by Longhorn entry.

Francis was pleased with his team's effort in getting him a podium finish. "Tommy (Grecco) and the whole Clint Bowyer Racing team did a fabulous job tonight on the car. In the heat race it was so good I really didn't want to change much. They went out there and graded off the top, and I was hoping they would burn that off in the consy races. It worked out for us tonight. I have to thank Georgia Boot, Peak Antifreeze and Motor Oil, Barry Wright Race Cars and Clements Engines."



Completing the top ten were Scott Bloomquist, Dale McDowell, Shannon Babb, Frank Heckenast Jr., and Jonathan Davenport.

In preliminary action, Darrell Lanigan set the overall Miller Welders Fast Time (Group A) amongst the 74 entrants, with a lap of 17.865 seconds. Dale McDowell set the fastest time in Group B with a time of 18.121 seconds. Brandon Sheppard, Brian Shirley, Steve Francis, Frank Heckenast Jr., Jonathan Davenport and Rodney Sanders won their respective heat races. Denny Eckrich won the D-Main; Ray Guss Jr. won the C-Main and Darrell Lanigan won the B-Main.

Davenport Dominates Opening Night of the Knoxville Late Model Nationals



LOLMDS PR
KNOXVILLE, IA (September 25) - Jonathan Davenport led from start to finish in dominating fashion during Thursday Night's Lucas Oil Late Model Knoxville Nationals opener. Davenport started second and survived a close battle early on with Brian Birkhofer to score his first-ever win at Knoxville Raceway in the 25-lap preliminary feature event.

Darrell Lanigan slipped by Birkhofer on lap nine for second place but never got close enough to challenge Davenport. Birkhofer came home third, followed by Earl Pearson Jr., and 22nd-starting Brandon Sheppard rounding out the top five.

"It feels great to win at such a prestigious place as Knoxville Raceway. I have to thank Kevin and Leroy Rumley. What a car we had tonight! I felt so comfortable out there. This Longhorn Chassis has been fast all year. Hopefully we can get three wins here this weekend," said the winner in Lucas Oil Victory Lane.

Davenport sprinted to the lead at the drop of the green flag and was challenged by Birkhofer for just a few laps before pulling away for his 21st win overall in 2014. "This track fits my driving style. It's wide-open, no doubt! I just kept it glued to the top for most of the race. I want to thank Steve Cooke of AES Racing, Mega Plumbing of the Carolinas, VP, CV Products, and JRi Shocks. Leroy Rumley builds a heck of an engine. What a great start to the weekend!"



Lanigan, the defending winner of the event, followed up his big victory a year ago with a runner-up finish on the opening night this year. "We had a good car tonight. We had a really good battle with Brian [Birkhofer] there for a while. Once we got by him, he [Davenport] was so far out in front and with only 25 laps tonight, I wasn't going to be able to catch him. It's a good start for the weekend. We will make some adjustments and come out Friday Night ready to go," said the driver of the Keyser MFG, Gotta Race, Cornett Racing Engines-powered, Club 29 Chevrolet.

Birkhofer started the weekend off on a positive note after a disappointing run in 2013. "After last year, this is just tremendous to be to come out tonight and get a podium finish. We just got this Vic Hill Racing Engine this week and it gives us a confidence boost heading into Friday and Saturday Night. It looked like a really good crowd tonight and I hope we put on a good show for everyone."

Completing the top ten were Kent Robinson, Scott Bloomquist, Eddie Carrier Jr., Frank Heckenast Jr., and Tim McCreadie.



In preliminary action, Dale McDowell set the overall Miller Welders Fast Time (Group A) amongst the 79 entrants, with a lap of 17.635 seconds. Eddie Carrier Jr. set the fastest time in Group B with a time of 17.836 seconds. Brady Smith, John Blankenship, Brandon Overton, Jonathan Davenport, Mike Marlar, Rick Eckert won their respective heat races. Chris Simpson won the D-Main; Terry Phillips won the C-Main and Chad Simpson won the B-Main.
