KNOXVILLE, Iowa (August 8, 2020) — Knoxville resident Jamie Ball led all 10 laps on the D-Main during Saturday’s finale of the 30th Annual MyPlace Hotels Knoxville 360 Nationals presented by Great Southern Bank. Ball, who is currently second in the 360 sprint car point standings at Knoxville Raceway held off Sussex, New Jersey competitor and 360 Nationals rookie Davie Franek for the win.
Ball and Franek quickly separated themselves from the rest of the field early in the event. By lap six Ball had pulled away from Franek and was starting to overtake the back of the field.
The caution flag tightened up the field with four laps to go when Jesse Baker, who had transferred from the E-Main, slowed in turn two. Franek was able to stay close to Ball after the restart, but Ball never relinquished the top position in route to the victory. Franek, Jason Schultz, Nick Parker, and Riley Goodno all transferred to the C-Main.
