CHARLIE ENTERS KNOXVILLE LM NATIONALS

Posted October 3, 2011
Charlie McKenna and his #22 team trekked to the historic Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa from September 29-October 1 for the 8th Annual 'Lucas Oil Late Model Knoxville Nationals.' The huge weekend at Knoxville kicked off with a pair of $7,000 to win prelims. On Thursday night, Charlie finished a strong fifth in his heat race, but later suffered problems in the B-Main and was unable to transfer into the 25-lap feature event. The Clear Lake, Iowa native unfortunately suffered more issues on Friday evening, as he finished twelfth in his heat race and seventeenth in the C-Main.

On Saturday, a huge crowd assembled at the 1/2-mile facility and the high-definition cameras of the SPEED Channel were on hand to witness all of the dirt-slinging action. Charlie earned enough points through preliminary competition to forego the C-Main on Saturday and lined up starting near the rear of the field in the B-Main. The driver known as "Chargin Charlie" tried to move forward to gain a top six transfer spot into the $40,000 to win 'Lucas Oil Late Model Knoxville Nationals,' but he retired from the consolation race in the twentieth position. Full results from the crown jewel extravaganza can be accessed online at www.lucasdirt.com.
