Donny Schatz led all 50 laps and took home his ninth Knoxville Nationals championship in the last ten years last night. Schatz took off from his pole starting spot and gradually lengthened his lead over Kerry Madsen in the first half of the race. Once the fuel stop was called with 24 laps remaining Schatz told KNIA/KRLS Sports his crew decided to do a quick gear change and it seemed to help. Danny Lasoski challenged for a few laps then Madsen and Brad Sweet tried to pass but was unable to do so. Madsen ended up second with Sweet in third place. Aaron Reutzel earned Rookie of the Nationals and Terry McCarl won the Jesse Hockett Mr. Sprint Car Award.
