Knoxville Nationals: Three Winners Friday; Saturday's Lineups Set

KNOXVILLE, Iowa -- Three more winners were crowned Friday night at the 51st Annual Goodyear Knoxville Nationals. Kevin Swindell won the A main, Tim Shaffer won the inaugural "Race of Champions" and Lucas Wolfe finished first in the Premiere Chevy Dealers World Challenge.

Swindell raced in the A main after finishing first in one of two semi-features. Kenny Jacobs won the other semi-feature, setting up the battle between the two in the main event.

Jacobs was able to grab an early lead but Swindell took the lead on lap five and remained there the rest of the race.

Friday night's races were for drivers outside the top 50 in points heading into Saturday night's championship event. Click here for complete results.

With the lineups now set, it's just a matter of time until a champion is crowned.
