> KNOXVILLE, Iowa (July 14) Clint Garner and Bryan Dobesh captured the
> feature wins in the 410 and 360 sprint-car divisions, respectively, at
> the Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa. The races were contested
> during the Marion County Fair on Saturday, July 14, 2007.
>
>
>
> Garner's second win at the hallowed half-mile was a hard-fought win
> despite having started on the pole. When the race went green, outside
> front-row starter and fellow South Dakota resident Dusty Zomer jumped
> out to the lead. The first yellow flag of the event came out on the
> third lap when Mike Moore looped around at the exit of turn two with a
> flat left-rear tire.
>
>
>
> When the 20-lap race restarted, Garner tried a slide job on Zomer but
> could not make it work. Zomer began coming to lapped traffic at lap
> seven with Garner and Calvin Landis giving chase. Jack Potter pulled
> his ailing machine to the pit area not long after. Meanwhile, Garner
> made slight contact with a lapped car in turn two as he chased Zomer
> through traffic.
>
>
>
> The yellow flag returned on lap 11 when melee ensued all over the
> track. The yellow was called for Ricky Logan, who had stopped in turn
> three with a blown tire. Billy Alley had slowed to a stop at the same
> time in turn two with a broken nose wing. Ryan Anderson had also hit
> the fence at this time.
>
>
>
> On the restart, Garner and Zomer continued to use slide jobs, with
> Garner leading the 13th circuit. Zomer got the lead back again the
> next time around as Garner was under heavy pressure from Calvin
> Landis.
>
>
>
> The yellow came back on the 14th lap when Brent Antill, Davey Heskin
> and Bronson Maeschen got together down the frontstretch. When the race
> resumed, Zomer and Garner continued their side-by-side racing, nearly
> getting together in the fourth turn. Meanwhile, Brian Brown was on the
> move and chasing the duo.
>
>
>
> Garner wrestled the lead away on the 16th lap and held it through the
> finish while Brown chased Zomer. Brown got the second spot away and
> Zomer settled for third. Landis was fourth and Kaley Gharst fifth. For
> his win, Garner got $3,000 and the traditional Marion County Fair win
> of a half hog and half beef.
>
>
>
> For Dobesh, his win in the 15-lap 360 A-Main was a surprise gift.
> Polesitter Josh Schneiderman led all the laps of the event and
> actually crossed the finish line first. However, Schneiderman was
> later stripped of what would have been his first win when heads on his
> machine failed a post-race inspection.
>
>
>
> The race was a mostly single-file affair early on. On the seventh lap,
> the yellow flag came out for Tyler Thompson, who slowed to a stop on
> the backstretch and did not restart.
>
>
>
> Mostly single-file racing continued in the front of the pack when the
> race resumed. On the 11th lap, Rick Ideus, who had won a feature last
> week, dropped from the race in a puff of smoke while running seventh.
>
>
>
> After that, Schneiderman looked to be cruising to victory when the
> yellow flag returned just as the leader was entering turn three on the
> way to the checkered flag. Nate Mosher had lost a right-rear tire and
> it was bouncing down the track.
>
>
>
> That set up a green, white, checkered finish, but Schneiderman held
> the point over Dobesh. After Schneiderman was disqualified, Dobesh
> garnered the $1,250 in addition to the traditional fair-time winning
> of a half hog and a half beef. Dustin Selvage was second, Johnny
> Anderson third, Josh Higday fourth and Jeff Mitrisin fifth.
> Schneiderman was relegated to a last-place finish.
