Dover Posts Best Knoxville Nationals Prelim Result Since 2009 and Finale Finish Since 2014

Inside Line Promotions – KNOXVILLE, Iowa (Aug. 18, 2026) – Jack Dover produced his best Knoxville Nationals performance in more than a decade last week at Knoxville Raceway.

The Tim Estenson Motorsports driver drove from 20th to 13th on Wednesday during his preliminary night before placing 10th in the C Main on Saturday during the 65th annual NOS Energy Drink Knoxville Nationals presented by Casey’s.

“Every time we went on the track and raced, we did well,” he said. “If we qualified better, we could have put ourselves in a much better position. The big picture overall was that we raced well.”

Dover opened his preliminary night on Wednesday by qualifying 40th quickest, which garnered the pole position of a heat race. A runner-up result in the heat race locked him into the main event. Dover worked the bottom groove to climb to 13th by the time the checkered flag was waved, marking his best preliminary night outing since 2009. His seven positions gained was tied for the third-most cars passed.

“We kept tightening up all night,” he said. “I had Brian Kemenah helping me and he’s one of the best. We both agreed we’re going to either run the top or the bottom. The bottom has been dominant all year at Knoxville so we set up for the bottom and it worked out well.

“I feel we weren’t tight enough on our qualifying night for qualifying and that hurt the result. We found a good balance on the car and I was excited to go qualify again during Hard Knox Night on Friday, but it rained out. We locked into Saturday night’s C Main, which was good and bad I guess. We wished we could have ran Hard Knox Night and moved ourselves up further, but then again it could have gone the opposite way.”

Unfortunately, rain wreaked havoc on the remainder of the event and altered the format as well as the racing surface during Saturday’s finale. Dover’s 10th-place finish in the C Main was his best finale result since earning the same result in 2014.

“There wasn’t anything you could do,” he said. “We had the same setup in as our qualifying night. We wanted to go out and just make good laps. I slipped up once and one guy got by me. That’s all you can really do in that circumstance when the track is so fast because of the rain.”

Dover plans on racing with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series and the Cressman Sanitation Midwest 410 Sprint Touring Series this Saturday at Jackson Motorplex in Jackson, Minn. He is the current MSTS points leader.

Aug. 12 – Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa – Qualifying: 40; Heat race: 2 (1); Feature: 13 (20).

Dominic Scelzi Eager for Opportunity With CJB Motorsports Throughout High Limit Racing’s West Coast Swing

Inside Line Promotions – FRESNO, Calif. (Aug. 18, 2026) – Dominic Scelzi will climb behind the wheel of a CJB Motorsports entry this weekend during an Interstate Batteries High Limit Racing tripleheader in his home state of California.

Scelzi will fill the seat of Brenham Crouch’s No. 5 for the next three weekends as Crouch was sidelined with an injury during the Knoxville Nationals last weekend.

The action begins this Thursday at Santa Maria Speedway in Santa Maria followed by a race on Friday at Thunderbowl Raceway in Tulare. The weekend wraps up on Saturday at Placerville Speedway in Placerville with the Gold Rush Classic.

“I’m incredibly excited for the opportunity and determined to help the CJB No. 5 team out while Brenham recovers,” Scelzi said. “I was in the Hall of Fame just above the crash Saturday morning and it was scary, not just from Brenham’s severity of the impact but my brother’s as well. I hope to help the No. 5 team navigate the West Coast successfully before Brenham is ready to climb back in the seat.”

The three-race weekend marks the start of a six-week stretch of national events for Scelzi, who will compete with High Limit Racing Aug. 27-29 at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, Calif., during the Mike Curb Gold Cup Race of Champions presented by NOS Energy Drink; Aug. 31 at Douglas County Dirt Track in Roseburg, Ore., during the SugarBee Showdown on the River presented by Seven Feathers Casino and Resort; and Sept. 3-5 at Skagit Speedway in Burlington, Wash., during the Skagit Nationals.

“I want to thank Chad Clemens, Barry Jackson, Heath Moyle and the entire CJB team for thinking of me as a fill-in driver,” he said. “I can’t wait to get started this weekend.”

Scelzi will then get back in his equipment for World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series shows Sept. 18-19 at Stockton Dirt Track in Stockton, Calif., during the Dennis Roth Classic; Sept. 22 at Kings Speedway in Hanford, Calif., during the Central Valley Clash; Sept. 25 at Bakersfield Speedway at Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway in Bakersfield, Calif., during the Nashville West Showdown; and Sept. 26 at Ventura Raceway in Ventura, Calif., during the Battle on the Beach.

“The next few weeks offer an opportunity to compete against the best drivers in sprint car racing,” Scelzi said. “We’re eager for the opportunity to get a little more than a dozen races against the top teams in the country to see where we stack up. We always circle these national races on our racing calendar each year and are excited they’ve arrived.”

SEASON STATS –

23 races, 3 wins, 9 top fives, 15 top 10s, 18 top 15s, 22 top 20s

Big Game Motorsports and Gravel Advance for Sixth-Place Finish at Knoxville Nationals

Inside Line Promotions – KNOXVILLE, Iowa (Aug. 18, 2026) – David Gravel and Big Game Motorsports recorded a sixth-place result late Saturday night and into early Sunday morning during the 65th annual NOS Energy Drink Knoxville Nationals presented by Casey’s.

The crown jewel event at Knoxville Raceway had been delayed several hours because of rain with the checkered flag not falling until after 1 a.m. on Sunday.

The sixth-place showing was Gravel’s seventh top 10 at the Knoxville Nationals, including his fourth in the last five years.

The event got underway on Wednesday and Gravel was fourth quickest out of nearly 50 competitors. He charged from eighth to fifth place in a heat race, which missed locking into the A Main by only one position. Gravel ran third in the Last Chance Showdown to transfer into the last row of the main event.

The team gained a few positions throughout the first half of the feature before picking up steam in the waning laps to climb to a 12th-place result, which was the second-most positions gained. That put Gravel tied for fifth in points after the opening preliminary night and he landed in the 10th starting spot once both preliminary nights were completed.

Unfortunately, wet weather altered Saturday’s finale with the feature not getting underway until after midnight. Gravel climbed to eighth during the first half of the 50-lap main event and continued to move forward in the second half, gaining two more spots to place sixth. It was the fifth-best result of his career during the Knoxville Nationals.

Gravel resumes World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series points competition this Friday at Ogilvie Raceway in Ogilvie, Minn., during the Big O Showdown presented by Wagamon Brothers and Saturday at Jackson Motorplex in Jackson, Minn., during the FENDT Showdown.

Gravel has improved his result each of the three times he has competed at Ogilvie Raceway with a career-best run of third last season. He set the track record at Jackson Motorplex last year, but is still looking for his first World of Outlaws triumph at the track.

He enters the weekend leading the World of Outlaws championship standings by 180 points.

QUICK RESULTS –

Aug. 12 – Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa – Qualifying: 4; Heat race: 5 (8); B Main: 3 (3); Feature: 12 (23).

Aug. 15 – Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa – Feature: 6 (10).

SEASON STATS –

54 races, 10 wins, 35 top fives, 45 top 10s, 50 top 15s, 51 top 20s

Mallett Tackling ASCS National Tour Event at Riverside International Speedway This Saturday

Inside Line Promotions – GREENBRIER, Ark. (Aug. 17, 2026) – Jordon Mallett is making his second ASCS National Tour start of the season this Saturday at Riverside International Speedway.

It will mark his third visit of the season to the dirt oval in West Memphis, Ark., where he and car owner A.G. Rains have finished fourth and fifth, respectively, this year.

“We’re eager to compete with the ASCS National Tour and race at a track where we’ve been successful,” Mallett said. “I’ve won races there in the past, and A.G. and I have been solid in our two races at the track this season. I think we’ve left some on the table during those races, too, so that gives us confidence that we can be a contender this weekend.”

Mallett earned a runner-up result during his ASCS National Tour season debut in May.

“We had a really good car and the margin for error during that race was thin so we did our best to push the limit without crossing it,” he said. “I think we had a car capable of winning and we put ourselves in a good position. That’s the goal for this weekend as well.”

Saturday’s event is slated to be his final ASCS National Tour start of the season.

SEASON STATS –

16 races, 1 win, 10 top fives, 12 top 10s, 13 top 15s, 16 top 20s
