KNOXVILLE, Iowa (July 25, 2026) – Ryan Timms is as hot as it was on Saturday during Van Wall Equipment Night at the Knoxville Raceway! The Oklahoma City, Oklahoma driver swept both the 410 and 360 features last week at Knoxville, before grabbing wins at Huset’s Speedway in South Dakota Sunday and Jackson Motorplex Friday night, making this his fifth in a row. The win was worth $6,000 and was the eleventh of his career here aboard the Liebig Motorsports #10. Clint Garner led the distance in the Randall Roofing 360 main event, giving him 50 career wins in that class.
The Leighton State Bank 410 25-lap feature began with Brian Brown taking off, ahead of Timms, Hank Davis, Austin McCarl and Rees Moran. McCarl used the low side to gain third from Davis on lap two. Justin Henderson entered the top five on lap three, and continued into fourth as he passed Davis on lap four.
At that point, Jack Anderson spun in turn two, bringing caution and setting up a restart that saw Brown leading Timms, McCarl, Henderson and Davis. Timms was able to gain the point on the restart, but on lap six, Brown put a slider across Timms’ nose in turn one to lead that lap.
On lap seven, Timms used the high side to drive back by Brown and take the lead. Meanwhile, Henderson continued his fast pace on the low side, shooting by McCarl for third. Kaleb Johnson entered the top five as well, after starting in row six.
On lap ten, McCarl passed Henderson again in a great race for that position, as the leaders entered lapped traffic. On lap 13, Timms got into the back of the lapped car of Matt Juhl, lifting his front end, and allowing Brown to close on his rear bumper.
McCarl gained on Brown, and the two raced for that position, but Henderson was also within striking distance. The veteran passed both on lap 16 to take the second spot. On lap 19, Jace Park got into the turn two wall, setting up a six lap dash to the finish.
On the restart, Brown disposed of Henderson quickly and set his sights on Timms. JJ Hickle entered the top five and passed McCarl for fourth in the late stages.
The veteran Brown kept the heat on Timms in the late stages, but the youngster held him off. Henderson was third, ahead of Hickle and McCarl. Johnson, Moran, Davis, Lynton Jeffrey and Tasker Phillips rounded out the top ten. Timms set quick time over the 32-car field and won his heat. Moran, Brown and Davis also won heats. Jack Anderson claimed the B main.
“It’s the month of money, so it’s a good time to be running good,” said Timms in Victory Lane. “I heard (Brown) back there. You have to be perfect with veterans like Brown and Justin Henderson behind you. (Brown) is one of the best to do it here at Knoxville, and he showed no mercy there for sure (on the slider). I consider him a friend of mine and a kind of mentor. He’s a good guy to know and be friends with. He wants the best for me for sure, but more than that, he wants to beat me. It’s awesome to race with Brian. It was just good hard racing. It was a great maneuver behind him, and kind of slowed me up. (Earlier) I saw Matt (Juhl) was running low the whole time. I saw him dip down to go to the bottom, but the other cars did too at that point. He looked like he caught some dirty air and slid up. I kind of saw it coming, there was just a big speed difference. I couldn’t ‘whoa it up.’ That was a close call. I wasn’t sure how that was going to end up. It took me forever to get would back up and get going. I saw Brown got up behind me. Somehow I was able to keep him behind me. It was a crazy one.”
Clint Garner shot out from his pole position in the 20-lap Randall Roofing 360 main event ahead of Brady Baker, Tasker Phillips, Evan Semerad and Sawyer Phillips. Two laps in, Sawyer got over the turn two cushion and slowed, allowing Matt Juhl into the top five. On lap three, Tasker took second from Baker.
Semerad had things going on the low side, and shot under Baker for third on lap eight. A circuit later, Juhl passed Baker for fourth. On lap ten, Semerad’s great run came to an end, when he pulled off. At that point, Garner led Tasker, Juhl, Baker and JJ Hickle.
Hickle continued moving forward, grabbing fourth from Baker on lap 12. By lap 15, Garner had put lapped cars between he and Tasker and had opened a three second lead. Hickle continued his charge, getting by Juhl for third.
Up front, Garner was never challenged in winning his fiftieth career 360 feature here. Tasker was second, ahead of Hickle, Juhl and Kade Higday, who gained his top five late. Baker, Cam Martin, Sawyer, Dustin Selvage and Riley Goodno completed the top ten. Brandon Worthington got upside down after the checkers, but was uninjured. Alex Vande Voort and Martin set quick time in their respective groups in the 41-car field, and Goodno, Higday, Selvage and Juhl won the heats. Garrett Benson took the B main. After the feature, Tasker Phillips was disqualified for not reporting to tech following the race.
“I’m happy to get it (#50),” said Garner. “I was hoping we could get it this year. They are so hard to get. The night didn’t take off the way I wanted it to. (The invert) worked out for us. Anyone who comes to Knoxville…you don’t need to be quick time. We were tenth quick or something, and the heat race was just o.k. We got put in the front row and here we stand.”
