Just one week following the untimely death of his father in a motorcycle accident, 19-year-old Dylan Knowles captured the victory in the Crate Late Model feature at Senoia Raceway in Senoia, GA on Saturday night.
Knowles held off a late race charge by Bubba Pollard to secure the victory and honor the memory of his father and crew chief.
“I just want to thank everyone for everything this past week,” said Knowles just prior to a special victory lap.
Knowles qualified second to Pollard, but used his outside starting position to jump to the lead at the drop of the green flag. Pollard would stay close through the middle stages of the race, but could never muster enough of a run to get alongside Knowles. A late race caution though set the stage for some final theatrics.
On a lap 18 restart, Knowles allowed for Pollard to gain position and make a run for the lead. As the white flag flew, Pollard inched in front of Knowles racecar. Knowles fought back and nosed down in front of Pollard to block his last lap momentum before beating him to the finish line for the win.
Jack Mills finished in third ahead of Dow Kirkland in fourth and Bobby Mills in fifth.
In other action, Clint ‘Cat Daddy’ Smith came into the Super Late Model feature riding a four race win streak. Tod Darda was the fast qualifier electing to start on the outside front row. Joe Armistead, Jr. slid down to start on the inside and rolled out to the early race lead ahead of Darda and Smith.
With the race going green the entire way, Armistead, Jr. went on to score his first win of the sason. Smith finishedin second, with Darda in third, Cody King in fourth and Mason Massey in fifth.
Curtis Turner took the early lead in the Hobby Stock feature, but his tenure ended with a crash involving Villa Rica’s Joe Hillman on lap 8. That turned the lead over to Gary Brand with Randy Cornwell in second.
Brand held off all the challenges from Cornwell and then took advantage of contact between Cornwell and Joe Hillman on the final lap. That cleared the way to the win for Brandn, with Hillman slipping past Cornwell for second.
Clint Smith ran flag-to-flag to win his sixth straight Limited Late Model feature. Smith ran off and left fast qualifier Clifton Moran to battle with Glenn Morris. The duo raced hard until contact on lap 14 left Moran up against the inside retaining wall and out of the race. Smith then cruised to victory ahead of Bailey Williams in second and Newnan’s Brandon Bright in third.
Tim Harmon outdueled Michael Nelms in the Bomber feature to win his second of the season. Nelms finished second with Jim Jackson third.
In the Mini Stock feature, Dustin Bales survived several cautions to pick up the $500 pay day. Bales was the race’s third and final leader with Jamie Nicholson, Jr. coming home in second and Nathan Bowen third.

This prevents several penalties and late levitra samples fees. So, how does it Work? Each tablet contains 100mg of Sildenafil Citrate along with 60mg of Dapoxetine, the former being the active ingredient in products such as cialis generico uk and Kamagra. Even if you are not a male who is middle-aged, or older, your Spam folder is most likely full of “junk advertisements” for cialis 10 mg , cialis, or cialis 10 mg. (Is it just me, or isthe list of side effects growing longer and longer on the television commercial?) Those drugs, by the way, only work on 50% of men.
