Cla Knight Notches First Win of 2017

North Augusta, South Carolina (06/20/17) –Cla Knight piloted his Augusta Aquatics #42 Penske Shocks Longhorn Crate Late Model to his first win of 2017 on Friday night. The victory came at Lavonia Speedway.

“Man this win has been coming for a long time,” Knight noted. “This year has been challenging for our team. It’s just seemed like we couldn’t catch a break. This past weekend was just what the doctor ordered, and I can’t thank all of my supporters enough for standing behind me.”

Cla Knight opened his two-night stint in the state of Georgia on Friday by traveling to Lavonia Speedway (Lavonia, Georgia) for the regular night of racing. After setting the bar in hot laps with the fastest lap, Knight posted quick time in qualifying, locking him into the pole position for the feature. Jumping out to the lead on the drop of the green flag, Cla never let go of the top spot, capturing his first win of the season. Andrew Cole, Frankie Beard, Joshua Bishop, and Russell Fleeman completed the Top-5 finishers

The following night brought Cla to Toccoa Raceway (Toccoa, Georgia) for the FASTRAK Racing Series sanctioned program. Laying down the fastest time once again in qualifying, Knight went on to place 2nd in his heat behind David Smith, which earned him the 3rd-starting position for the feature. With $2,000 on the line, Cla Knight moved up one spot in the 40-lapper, registering a runner-up finish behind Jenson Ford with David Smith, Matthew Nance, and Benji Hicks completing the Top 5 finishers.
