Tyler Courtney Wins $30,000 at the 360 Nationals!

Tyler Courtney Wins $30,000 at the 360 Nationals!
by Bill Wright

KNOXVILLE, Iowa (August 3, 2024) – Tyler Courtney had two non-wing sprint car wins entering Saturday at the Knoxville Raceway. He got his first wing victory in big fashion by cashing in $30,000 as the champion of the 34th Annual Xtream Powered by Mediacom Knoxville 360 Nationals Presented by Great Southern Bank! The Indianapolis, Indiana native’s win came aboard the Clauson-Marshall #7BC, and his payday included $20,000 to win and $10,000 in lap money.

Courtney led lap one of the 30-lap main event ahead of Emerson Axsom, Austin McCarl, Cory Eliason and Jamie Ball. Axsom shot by Courtney to lead lap two before Chase Randall jumped the turn three cushion and flipped to bring the red flag. He walked away.

The last 28 laps went non-stop with Axsom shooting back out to the lead and entering lapped traffic on the ninth circuit. Courtney reeled in Axsom and shot around him high in heavy lapped traffic on lap 12. Courtney found his way around the lapped machine of Carson McCarl and then made a big move to get by two more lappers with ten to go.

Axsom struggled in traffic, but closed late to finish second, 1.5 seconds behind the victor. Austin McCarl was third, ahead of Brian Brown and Cory Eliason. Tasker Phillips, Ball, Cole Macedo, Kaleb Johnson and Terry McCarl rounded out the top ten. Axsom earned a bonus $5,000 in lapped money and $500 from Jetco as Rookie of the 360 Nationals. Ball won the DGRD Best Appearing Car and $360. Randall won the B main, Tanner Holmes took the C main, Chris Martin won the D, and Tyler Lee claimed the E main. Alan Zoutte got upside down in the D, and Brendan Mullen and Liam Martin crashed in the C. All walked away. Ryan Bickett went from the E to D to C, and Chris Martin climbed from the D to the C, to the B.

“The team has been busy,” said an excited Courtney. “We came in with not a lot of expectations. We wanted to come here and get laps and confidence, and just get in the mood for the biggest week of the year next week. That was a really good racecar. I feel like we were really good there in the feature. We didn’t lead all the laps and get all the money, but we’ll take 30 grand! We’ve never quite got a wing win here, and at the 360 Nationals, I think that means just a little bit more. It’s a pretty special win.”

“This is a little disappointing for my guys,” said Axsom beside his Klaasmeyer-Petry #27A entry. “I felt like they gave me a car capable of winning, and I made a mistake and let Tyler by. Then I raced the same guy for about ten laps. I finally got by him and felt like I found a better line into three than Tyler. I was able to track him down, but I’m sure he was riding and saving his tires. I’m happy with our speed but I hate it for our guys. I felt like we had a car capable of winning.’

“I wish I could have been on the front row,” said Austin McCarl. “I just kept praying we’d get to traffic. We kind of got spread out there early. I felt really good. I could peel off and run the bottom stuck, but it just wasn’t quite enough to get past (Axsom). There just wasn’t enough down there to get a little grip and come across. I’m proud of that old girl in the frame rails (engine). It’s probably older than this cameraman.”

Sam Hafertepe Jr. Goes Wire to Wire on Night #2 of the 360 Nationals!

Sam Hafertepe Jr. Goes Wire to Wire on Night #2 of the 360 Nationals!
by Bill Wright

KNOXVILLE, Iowa (August 2, 2024) – Sam Hafertepe Jr. led flag to flag to win night #2 of the Xtream Powered by Mediacom 360 Knoxville Nationals Presented by Great Southern Bank on Friday at the Knoxville Raceway. The Sunnyvale, Texas native earned $3,000 for his third career prelim win at the 360 Nationals and his fourth overall at Knoxville. Emerson Axsom and Tyler Courtney will make up row one for Saturday’s $20,000 to win finale based on their point totals. (complete lineups below)

Hafertepe started on the pole beside Brian Brown in the 20-lap main event and got the early jump ahead of Brown, Cory Eliason, Jake Bubak and Skylar Prochaska. Tasker Phillips entered the top five on lap two, but Kasey Kahne shot by him on the low side on lap four. Joe Beaver stopped five laps in. Liam Martin was also involved and went pitside. Beaver restarted at the tail.

Hafertepe led Brown, Eliason, Bubak and Kahne back to green. Kahne grabbed fourth, as Hafertepe continued his run up front. Parker Price-Miller came to a stop inside turn four at the halfway point, setting up another restart.

Brown applied pressure on Hafertepe, who came off the bottom to slide into Brown’s line. As the two battled, Eliason closed the gap, and on lap 13, shot by for second. At that point, twelfth running Hank Davis flipped on lap 14, setting a six-lap dash to the checkers.

Hafertepe led from there, with Brown and Eliason exchanging second. Eliason would gain second for good with five to go, and Brown finished third. Bubak, Kahne, Tyler Courtney, Ryan Giles, hard-charger Kerry Madsen, Tasker Phillips and Alex Hill rounded out the top ten. Tyler Groenendyk set quick time over the 53-car field and won his heat. Price-Miller, Colton Hardy, Tanner Thorson and Brown were heat winners. Tyler Lee won the C main, and Madsen claimed the B.

“Brown’s really smart,” said Hafertepe in Victory Lane. “He runs this place all the time and has a lot of laps around here. If I saw a nose, we’d move and play a little defense. You watch these guys all year and the way they run this place. You try to mimic some of the block moves. I felt we were good in some instances, and in some we weren’t. I could put together maybe three laps, and felt like we were really good, and then not so good. The restarts were a challenge. We got a little tight. This is just a testament to our team.”

“I didn’t need that red,” said Eliason. “I felt the longer the runs we had the better we were. Right before that red, I think I got by Brown and was able to get my nose under Sam a couple times. I got him uncomfortable and searching which is what I needed. Clean air is key here especially with the 360. Hat’s off to my guys.”

“It was a decent night for us,” said Brown. “I felt like at points I was a little better than Sam, but he did a good job of moving around and making his car like he should. He’s a professional racecar driver. I felt like I may have given up second trying to win the race, but that’s what we’re here for. I’m looking forward to seeing how far we can go tomorrow.”

Kaleb Johnson Picks Perfect Time for First Knoxville Win in 360 Nationals Opener!

Kaleb Johnson Picks Perfect Time for First Knoxville Win in 360 Nationals Opener!
by Bill Wright

KNOXVILLE, Iowa (August 1, 2024) – Kaleb Johnson led flag to flag on night #1 of the 34th Annual Xtream Powered by Mediacom 360 Knoxville Nationals Presented by Great Southern Bank. The Sioux Falls, South Dakota native earned his first win aboard the DGRD #6, giving that team their maiden victory at Knoxville as well. The win was worth $3,000, and Johnson is the thirteenth different first-time feature winner at Knoxville in 2024.

Johnso led from the pole position in the 18-lapper early, trailed by Kade Higday, Matt Covington, Austi McCarl and Emerson Axsom. Johnson used his preferred low line to pull away from the pack and enter lapped traffic on the ninth circuit. McCarl got by Covington for third at the halfway point.

Chase Randall was on the move after starting outside row six, and on lap twelve, advanced from sixth to fourth. His charge continued with a pass of McCarl with four to go for third. He reeled in Higday and passed him on the high side for second with two to go, but ran out of laps to catch Johnson.

Johnson’s win came ahead of Randall, Higday, Austin McCarl and Axsom. Justin Peck, Terry McCarl, Jamie Ball, Covington and Riley Goodno rounded out the top ten. Aaron Reutzel set quick time over the 54-car field, while Matt Juhl, Garet Williamson, Axsom, Hunter Schuerenberg and Tanner Holmes won heats. JJ Hickle won the C main, and Reutzel claimed the B.

Axsom leads the pack in points with 488 heading into Saturday’s final. Austin McCarl, Jamie Ball, Johnson and Terry McCarl make up the top five in points pending Friday’s qualifying night (complete points below).

“I think it definitely helped to start on the pole,” said an excited Johnson in Victory Lane. “I saw the moisture coming up on the bottom with the humidity. I’m a little tired, but I was going to make sure I wasn’t going to lose that one. I feel like I’ve had so many chances, not only here, but other places, and I just wasn’t able to do it. It was good to finally put a full night together.”

“I feel a lot better after that run,” said Randall of his hard-charger effort. “We were kind of chasing some issues all night. We just weren’t comfortable in the racecar. I think it ran a lot better there, passing a lot of good cars and getting up to second in that feature. I wish we had a yellow. I was really maneuverable in traffic and I wish I had a chance at Kaleb, but he did a good job and was way out there.”

“We’re really fast,” said Higday. “We just need to get better at the end of that race. We need to capitalize when we get to lapped traffic, and we were pretty bad there in that dirty air. That allowed Chase to get by us, and luckily we didn’t run fourth or fifth. I hope this sets us up decently.”
