Mark Dobmeier (1st car out to time) set quick time on the fast track at 14.784 seconds. Davey Heskin (13th car out) was second quick, followed by Dusty Zomer (11th), Kerry Madsen (23rd), Skip Jackson (14th), Johnny Herrera (3rd), Lynton Jeffrey (20th), Rager Phillips (24th), Josh Schneiderman (22nd) and Wayne Johnson (16th). Three tenths of a second separated quick time from 11th.
Heat one (started): 1. Bronson Maeschen 1 (1) 2. Chris Morgan 7K (2) 3. Johnson 81 (3) 4. Madsen 55 (5) 5. Jeffrey 24 (4) / 6. Dobmeier 13 (6) 7. Austin McCarl 17A (7) 8. Billy Alley 22 (8)
Maeschen led the 8-lap distance. Alley, who was using back-up power, exited early. Dobmeier was left on the outside of a transfer spot despite reeling in Jeffrey a couple of times.
Heat two (started): 1. Ricky Logan 10a (1) 2. Derek Ingalls 91 (2) 3. Brian Brown 21 (3) 4. Jackson 2 (5) 5. Heskin 56 (6) / 6. Ryan Anderson 71R (8) 7. Phillips 10 (4) 8. Calvin Landis 70 (7)
Landis retired early. Logan led the distance on a fast racetrack. Heskin had a fast start, but a Brown chopper in three saw him lose momentum back to sixth. Phillips developed problems while running third in the late stages and was a scratch for the rest of the night after a strong start.
Heat three (started): 1. Don Droud Jr. 47 (3) 2. Zomer 17G (6) 3. Bob Weuve 19 (2) 4. Schneiderman 49 (4) 5. Pete Crall 1PC (7) / 6. Ricky Montgomery 33 (8) 7. Mike Moore 69 (1) 8. Herrera 2w (5)
Herrera went to the work area immediately with engine problems and had to swap a new one in for the B. Moore tangled with Weuve to start things and sustained damage enough to be towed to the pits. Droud assumed the pole and took off and hid. Zomer was strong moving up to second. Crall moved by Montgomery for the final transfer.
B main (started): 1. Dobmeier (1) 2. Herrera (2) 3. Landis (6) 4. Ry. Anderson (8) 5. Montgomery (7) / 6. Alley (5) 7. McCarl (3) 8. Moore (4) DNS - Phillips
Moore got into his second tangle of the night to start things at the green flag, this time with McCarl. Moore got airborne and Alley ran into him with nowhere to go. Moore was done. McCarl replaced a rear bumper and continued, but fell out early. Alley replaced both wings. Dobmeier sailed to the 8-lap win in flag to flag fashion. Ry. Anderson made a good move from sixth to fourth, while Montgomery held off Alley's advances for the final transfer.
A main (started): 1. Brown (1) 2. Madsen (6) 3. Johnson (2) 4. Zomer (7) 5. Schneiderman (3) 6. Dobmeier (16) 7. Jeffrey (4) 8. Heskin (8) 9. Droud (9) 10. Herrera (17) 11. Jackson (5) 12. Morgan (10) 13. Landis (18) 14. Maeschen (13) 15. Anderson (19) 16. Ingalls (11) 17. Montgomery (20) 18. Crall (15) 19. Weuve (12) 20. Logan (14)
Brown took off from the outset of the 20-lap non-stop event. To say he dominated, would be understated. His margin of victory in the end was a 1/4 of a lap, and he was just six seconds off the 20-lap track record in picking up $3,000. There was a great race for second with Madsen and Johnson exchanging the spot. Zomer ran strong in fourth for the second week in a row, and Schneiderman grabbed a solid top five. Dobmeier was the hard-charger from the B. Herrera flipped on the white flag lap, but the point leader was still scored 10th going back to the last completed lap. Brown was the only one to complete 20 laps when the red was thrown, making it a complete feature.

D. Hall led the 10-lapper flag to flag. There was a red on lap two when Russell tipped over in turn one. He was uninjured. Phillips and Selvage battled for fifth most of the way, with Selvage low and Phillips up top. The top four were never seriously challenged, with the only real change in position a Dobesh pass of Montgomery at the midway point.
A main (started): 1. Mather (1) 2. Moore Jr. (4) 3. Anderson (2) 4. Van Haaften (8) 5. Bakker (5) 6. Corbin (3) 7. Agan (10) 8. Beaver (14) 9. Garner (9) 10. Montgomery (20) 11. Lenz (12) 12.

Mather led the distance in the non-stop 15-lapper. He rocketed out ot a good margin early over Anderson. Moore Jr. worked his way into second, and in the late stages reeled in Mather in lapped traffic, falling short. Van Haaften moved up smoothly at the outset to pick up fourth. Beaver passed three cars in one lap early on. Montgomery was the hard-charger.

Marty Stephenson led the 12-lapper in the ealry stages after Tice slowed on the start and retired. Kubli was in the runner-up spot, and used the high side to shoot around to the lead on lap seven. One lap later, Phillips, who had moved from 14th to 5th in the first lap, contacted Marty Stephenson and backed it into the wall, bringing out the caution. Kubli led Marty Stephenson, Alexander, Anderson and Palmer back to green flag racing. Matt Stephenson was in sixth at the time, and made the most of the restart, climbing all the way to second in the last three laps, passing his brother in turn four coming for the checkers. It was Kubli's first career win at Knoxville.
