Hate to say this but with short fields, the #KNEast championship is now down to two drivers, @DGR_CROSLEY's @TylerAnkrum and @Tyler_Dippel. With 144 remaining, winning out would not let @RonnieBassett04 get the title either.
With their 7th #KNEast victory, @DGR_CROSLEY ties NDS Motorsports and Johnson Racing in team ownership wins. They rank tied for 13th place, 24th overall. Next win ties them with @MdmMotorsports, Michael Waltrip Racing and McCabe Racing.
The @NASCARPEAKMX series was the first to use numbers on the rear quarter panels. Now they have full body use for sponsors on the doors and rear quarters with the numbers on the rear side windows. Gives a different look to the cars. Interesting, yet different.
Mathematically (and realistically with short fields) speaking, with just four #KNEast races remaining, six drivers remain in contention for the championship. With a maximum of 192 points available, @DGR_CROSLEY and their driver @TylerAnkrum will be tough to beat.
@CW_NKNPS @WGI My thoughts: hoping Dale Quarterley gets his #KNEast car to his liking, could make it interesting for @Scott_Heckert_ and @willrodgers65. Would like to see Bill Hoff actually start so we eliminate the asterisk from his stats. And oh so much more, but...
2 of 2 - Most memorable moment of the broadcast from the race was the cameras showing Sjale (crew member) doing backflips down pit road. Just a little @WGI#KNEast reminiscing.
1 of 2 - Hard to believe that 20 years ago our team won the @WGI#KNEast race in a wild one. Lots of spinouts, dumping and carnage in those final laps. Leader has 3 laps to acknowledge black flag yet we crossed finish line in second and shown the checkers, crazy!
With his third consecutive #KNEast victory, @DGR_CROSLEY's @TylerAnkrum ties Tracy Gordon, Matt Kobyluck and @_AustinHill. Only @benrhodes and @RickyCravenESPN have won more consecutive races.
#KNEast Fast Fact: in terms of the East Series stats, in 15 previous @iowaspeedway races, there hasn't been a repeat Pole Award or race winner. That's 15 drivers tied for the lead in each category.
With 6 #KNEast victories, @DGR_CROSLEY ties @BMR_NASCAR, LesCare Racing, Truex Motorsports and 1/4ley Racing for 16th place (28th overall) in series wins.
@jeff_gluck Jeff, those of us in the lower NASCAR tiers have been using the term "the Big 3" since the late '90s. It was in reference to the three national touring divisions of NASCAR that drivers dreamed of aspiring to.
In order to secure the #KNEast championship, @TylerAnkrum needs to secure 211 points of the possible 240 points available in the remaining 5 races to edge out fellow @DGR_CROSLEY team mate, @Tyler_Dippel.
