Metler gets win in MS; Collins powers to LM win

Another great Saturday Night is in the books at 411, and the action was great all night long. Jimmy Elliott won in Mod-Mini, but was DQed at the scales, handing the win to Terry Poore. Phil Blackford wins in Classic, Mike Lewis takes the win in Topless Modified, Brad Lowe — yes, that Brad Lowe, won in Street Stock, while Robbie Comer and Josh Collins got wins in both Super Truck and Late Model, while Shawn Henry lapped the field in Mini-Stock before refusing to pull his valve cover in post-race tech, handing the win over to Tommy Metler. The birthday boy, Cody Courtney, took the win in Mini-Late Model. The night wasn’t controversy free though, as Brad Lowe set the Late Model fast time in his new ride, before being deemed too light at the scales, handing over the fast time to Adam Beeler. He spun a 4, and Ryan King won the Hoosier Dash. He would last through 3 initial start attempts before his left-rear tire flew off his machine, ending his and Mark Leach’s night.

Next up on the schedule is the Food City Race Night. We’ll get started as usual with pits opening at 4, grandstands at 5, drivers meeting at 5:30, hotlaps at 5:45, with heats around 7p and features around 8:15. Come on out for another exciting night of racing at Tennessee’s Action Track! To check out the stories, click the title to this story!

Another night of racing is complete at 411 Motor Speedway, and it was a great night! Rusty Ballenger got the night started off by setting the fast time, with a lap of 14.322.

Track Record shattered in Chris Breeden Memorial Hangover 100

The Chris Breeden Memorial Hangover 100 is in the books at 411 Motor Speedway, and fans, was the action intense! We started the afternoon off by setting a new track record in Late Model qualifying, as “The South Knoxville Superstar” Brad Lowe set a blazing lap time of 13.979 on his 2nd lap. His first lap, a 13.996, was still a track record! In the feature, Lowe however would get passed later in the feature by Anthony White, but Lowe lodged a protest, and White refused, thus handing the win over to Lowe.
