MITCHELLVILLE, Iowa (August 14, 2023) - Chase Randall’s 2023 Knoxville Nationals effort was enough to turn some heads, not only locking himself into Saturday’s A-Main with a podium score in Wednesday’s preliminary outing, but ultimately concluding the “Granddaddy of them All” by being dubbed the event’s top rookie, eventually notching a 13th-place finish in the $185,000-to-win finale.
Randall, ace of Troy Renfro’s Albaugh - Your Alternative, Iowa Barnstormers, Des Moines Industrial Products, deWit Construction, Jersey Freeze Ice Cream, No. 2KS sprint car, finished second in his preliminary run, starting third on the A-Main grid before capping the 25-lapper an additional position. The Waco, Texas, native would actually lead the program late in the race, forced to go head-to-head with ten-time World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series champion and eventual preliminary night winner, Donny Schatz; Schatz battled by Randall on lap 22.
As mentioned, Randall’s overall preliminary effort, which also included a fourth-place score in heat race competition, would lock TKS Motorsports into Saturday’s A-Main where they started 14th. Although racing on to finish 13th, Randall’s potential was actually cut short, forced to go pit-side as the result of a flat tire on lap 15 of 50; he was racing inside the top ten at the time of the incident.
“We couldn’t be more thrilled with Randall’s effort at the Knoxville Nationals. It was an exciting week and it feels good to know that everyone’s hard work and effort paid off,” Troy Renfro explained. “I’m confident in saying this is just the start for our team. We’ll transfer this momentum into our efforts at Jackson Motorplex this weekend. We’re ready to get back at it.”
ON DECK:
TKS Motorsports and Chase Randall will continue their 2023 campaign with the 45th Annual Jackson Nationals at Jackson Motorplex in Jackson, Minnesota, on Thursday through Saturday, August 17-19. The week’s finale will award a $25,000 payday.
