Jake Knowles Battles Through Weekend Adversity; North Alabama Next
Rome, Georgia (09/28/17) – Jake Knowles enjoyed both success and disappointment over the weekend behind the wheel of his Knowles Race Parts & Bodies #66 Brucebilt Performance Rocket Chassis Super Late Model at East Alabama Motor Speedway.
Despite the adversity that he and his team faced, they were able to register a pair of strong runs.
On Friday night Jake Knowles made the trip to East Alabama Motor Speedway (Phenix City, Alabama) to compete in the opening round of the 45th annual Alabama State Championship weekend. With 31 Super Late Models registered, Knowles timed in fourth fastest in his qualifying group, earning him the seventh-starting position for the opening night feature.
With $2,500 on the line, Jake was passing for the third position when he got sideways, which resulted in him being sent to the tail of the field. Charging back into the Top 10, Knowles still manage to salvage the night with a sixth-place finish.
Returning on Saturday night for another $2,500-to-win A-Main, Jake secured his spot into the main event with the third-fastest time in his qualifying group. Earning the sixth-starting position for the feature, Knowles was running in the sixth position until he suffered a blown motor while taking the white flag. He was credited with a 13th-place finish in the final rundown.
Closing out the 45th annual Alabama State Championship on Sunday, Jake had already locked his spot into the $4,500-to-win finale with his performances on Friday and Saturday. Slated to start eighth, Jake was offered a ride in Austin Horton’s secondary car after Knowles suffered a blown motor late Saturday evening. Running in the Top 10 throughout the 45-lap affair, Jake Knowles crossed the finish line in 8th.
“It was a challenging weekend for sure, but we made the most of the hand dealt to us,†Knowles commented. “I’ve especially got to thank Austin Horton and his car-owner Woody Wood for the opportunity to run their secondary in the feature on Sunday evening. Without their amazing generosity, I would’ve been left on the sidelines.â€
