In a battle of two home-state Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series rivals, Scott Bloomquist fought off all challenges by Jimmy Owens to win the Toyota Knoxville 50 at Tazewell Speedway in Tazewell, Tennessee on Friday.
Bloomquist led every lap. The only exception that his car was not in front of the pack is when Owens made a slide job in turn 2 with 12 laps-to-go to briefly take the lead. Owens could not make his car stick and Bloomquist went back around him to regain the top spot.
Trailing Bloomquist and Owens to the checkers were 12th place starter Steve Francis, Dennis Erb, Jr., and Don O’Neal. O’Neal rallied after suffering a flat tire while running in fourth early in the race.
Bloomquist went to victory lane for the fifth time this year and extended his all-time series win total to 67 victories.
“We were just trying to be careful through traffic and then we went for it,” he said. “Jimmy (Owens) did a little too much of a slide there and it took him a while to gather his momentum back up. We just turned under him and got back around him.
“The Sweet-Bloomquist car ran so well, the Andy Durham Engine ran great, and everything was pretty smooth tonight. We didn’t qualify as well as we wanted to. It was too tight. Beating Jimmy was big for us in that heat. We made some adjustments for the feature. Traffic wasn’t too big of a deal tonight because of all of the cautions. The race track was really good tonight. You could race two-wide without any issues.”
Bloomquist also closed on point leader Jonathan Davenport, who failed to finish the event as he dropped out of the race with two laps remaining.
Owens was looking for his second straight LOLMDS victory after last weekend’s Show-Me 100 victory.
“We had a good car tonight, but Scott was just a tick better,” said Owens. “I slid by him that one time, but I just couldn’t get it straightened back out quick enough and he got back around me. I want to thank everybody for coming out tonight.”
Francis charged from the outside of the sixth row to finish third.
“We lost our brakes out there. It is tough enough here with brakes to run where we did. But the car handled really well and to come up through the field against these guys, we earned that finish for sure.”
Jared Landers, Chad Ogle, Billy Ogle, Jr., Brandon Sheppard and Donald McIntosh rounded out the top ten
In preliminary action, Jimmy Owens set the overall fast time amongst the 25 entrants, with a lap of 11.380 seconds. Bloomquist, O’Neal and Davenport won their respective heat races.
