While a driver never has a goal of winning the Non-Qualifiers A-Main at the Knoxville Nationals, it does mean you have won an A-Main at the biggest sprint car race in the world. That is what Kevin Swindell did last night winning the A-Main on night three of the 51st Annual Goodyear Knoxville Nationals. Swindell passed Kenny Jacobs on lap five and set sail for the rest of the race. That was Swindell’s fourth win this season at the Knoxville Raceway. The night moved on to the Race of Champions and no one knew the starting lineup of that race until the Revenge Draw was conducted and When Danny Holtgraver gave Tim Shaffer the pole position, Shaffer took advantage and led all 25 laps, however 360 National Champion Shane Stewart charged from 17 to second and was only a couple of tenths behind Shaffer at the line. The final race of the night was the World Challenge, and Lucas Wolf got his first win at the Knoxville Raceway not being challenged and led all 20 laps, however Shane Stewart would power from 13th to second in the 20 lap event. The field is now set for Championship night of the Knoxville Nationals. Sammy Swindell is on the pole for the A-Main with Brad Sweet also in the front row.
