In the 20-lap 410 feature, Emerson Axsom worked his way to lead lap one. Carson McCarl took the point on the second lap, chased by Axsom, Austin McCarl, Scott Bogucki and Ryan Timms. Bogucki and Austin McCarl exchanged third before the latter surged from fourth to second. Four laps in, Tasker Phillips got sideways in turn one, collecting Anthony Macri. Both drivers were done.

Austin McCarl used the low side to surge past his brother into the lead on the restart, while Timms rocketed from fifth to third. Bogucki went under Axsom to take fourth on lap six.

Timms was a missile on the cushion and swallowed up Carson McCarl for second on lap seven, quickly reeled in the low riding Austin McCarl on lap nine, and began pulling away. A spin by Jack Anderson with 11 laps to go proved to be the last caution.

Timms led Austin McCarl, Carson McCarl, Axsom and Bogucki back to green. Austin changed his line to the high side and tried to keep Timms within his reach, while Bogucki moved into fourth on lap 11 and third on lap 14. Timms entered traffic with three laps to go. Behind him, Kerry Madsen was a late mover, entering the top five on lap 18, and passing Carson McCarl for fourth on the white flag lap.

Timms third 410 win of the year and in his career at Knoxville came ahead of Austin McCarl, Bogucki, Madsen and Carson McCarl. Brian Brown, Kaleb Johnson, Axsom, Terry McCarl and Kelby Watt completed the top ten. Axsom and Austin McCarl set quick time over their respective flights, and Johnson, Don Droud Jr., Chris Martin and Macri won the heats. Lynton Jeffrey won the B main.

“There at the beginning, I felt really good,” said Timms. “I was just kind of staying the same pace as everyone else, and we had the (yellow) and I was wondering to myself why we were the same speed as everyone else. I came to the conclusion I just wasn’t running it hard enough. After that restart, luckily the two guys in front of me went to the bottom, and I was able to go around there and into third. I was very happy to see both the McCarl’s move down, and I was just able to get my momentum built up and get comfortable up there. We were able to get it done. It’s pretty unreal, I never thought I’d be standing here with four wins. I think it just says how fast this car is every night. It’s awesome.”
