Inside Line Promotions – BURLISON, Tenn. (July 27, 2016) – Brandon Hanks will use this Saturday to get one final test in at Knoxville Raceway before the 360 Knoxville Nationals the following weekend.
“We wanted more laps before we went to the Nationals,” he said. “We wanted to go this past weekend, but some things at work got in the way so we missed out. Any laps are good laps at Knoxville because it’s so different from anywhere we go. It takes a certain art to race that place.”
Hanks has competed at the half-mile oval in Knoxville, Iowa, once this season. He tackled the season opener on April 16 and was battling for a top 10 when an incident forced him into the pits early.
“This guy had been running the bottom the whole time,” he said. “I was catching him and was about to pass him when he went high right in front of me. I had to get out of the throttle to keep from running into him. My car got tight and I hit the wall.”
Hanks said his goal for this weekend is to record a top-10 finish.
“I just need some laps there,” he said. “I think we can earn a top 10 and it’d be nice to build some momentum heading into the 360 Knoxville Nationals.”
