Knoxville, Iowa - May 27 - Billy Alley and Jon Corbin won the 410 A feature at Knoxville Raceway Saturday night. Alley's became the ninth different winner in the division this season.
For Alley the win was anything but easy although he started on the front row. Young Rager Phillips chased him the first lap but gave way on the second round to Skip Jackson. A yellow was thrown for a stopped car on the track and on the restart Alley blew through turns one and two on the cushion to pull away from Jackson.
The final nine laps saw Alley keep the Gifford Motorsports sprinter in front as he worked the cushion to perfection. Everyone's eyes were glued to Madsen as he dove to the bottom in each turn in an attempt to overtake Jackson. The two Aussies masterfully maneuvered the big Knoxville half mile with Brian Brown coming into contention late.
In the end Alley claimed the $3,000 to win event, his second career 410 win here. The excited youngster climbed the inside retaining wall and stood pumping his arms toward the sky. In the victory winners circle he said he felt he had "dropped a cylinder,but kept on going". Jackson, Madsen and Brown followed with Lynton Jeffrey taking fifth. Rounding out the top ten finishers were Matt Moro, Jesse Giannetto from dead last, Clint Garner from 18th, Bronson Maeschen and Kaley Gharst. Twenty-nine cars competed in the division."
