EMi with CSi
Clint Garner could not be denied Saturday night at Knoxville Raceway, even by a fellow EMi car. On lap four, Ryan Roberts, who won Friday night in his EAGLE at I-80 Speedway in his native Nebraska, took the lead. Garner followed him into second a lap later in his SCHNEE. Garner would eventually pass and win ahead of Roberts. “I wasn’t sure if I was going to beat him,” said Garner of Roberts. “He just won last night and he is feeling pretty good about things. There was definitely good competition. Clint continues to be the man to beat at Knoxville while Ryan flexes some muscle of his own. Ryan’s win of the Bobby Parker Memorial at I-80 was his first since 2015 with Jack Dover in tow, an EAGLE 1-2. Jack didn’t have to play runner up long, while Ryan and Clint were battling at Knoxville, Jack headed North to Park Jefferson. Third starting Dover made a strong power move on deep in the turn to take the top spot and roar away to victory. Dover finished ahead of Jordan Boston in his SCHNEE, giving EMi a 1-2 finish.
