Story By: TYLER ALTMEYER / TKS MOTORSPORTS – MITCHELLVILLE, IA – It was another weekend to remember for Chase Randall and TKS Motorsports, not only concluding their two-day sweep at Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, with back-to-back top-ten appearances, but securing their second 410 sprint car victory in the process, doing so in Knoxville’s Corn Belt Clash finale (featuring the USAC National Sprint Cars) on Saturday, June 1.
Randall, driver of Troy Renfro’s Albaugh – Your Alternative, Iowa Barnstormers, Des Moines Industrial Products, Jersey Freeze Ice Cream, AL Driveline, TJ Forged, No. 2KS sprint car, started third on Saturday’s grid, eventually working his way forward before earning command over Don Droud Jr. on lap 12. A winning theme all night long, the Waco, Texas, native launched his evening effort with an impressive two spot bump to win his respective heat race.
“You just gotta want it,” Randall expressed. “I want it so bad for myself and this whole (TKS Motorsports) team. They’ve given me one of the best opportunities I’ve had to compete at the top level. Starting in third, I was trying to be a little patient. It was super fast, and I knew lapped traffic would be my best bet. It kind of worked out for me. It just feels amazing to be standing here in Victory Lane, and we look forward to the future.”
As noted, Randall and TKS Motorsports earned back-to-back top-tens on the weekend, opening Knoxville Raceway’s Corn Belt Clash with a seventh-place score during 360 sprint car competition on Friday, May 31; his night started with the fastest qualifying time.
TKS Motorsports and Chase Randall will continue their 2024 campaign with a busy week across the Hawkeye State, kicking things off with a visit to Davenport Speedway in Davenport, Iowa, for a High Limit Racing Midweek Money Series program on Tuesday, June 4, followed by a return visit to the famous Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa, on Saturday, June 8.
