KNOXVILLE RACEWAY, Knoxville, IA, September 22, 2018 – Darin Van Dee of Deep River, Iowa took the 30th annual Fall Enduro at Knoxville Raceway Saturday night. In a race that went the full 200 laps, the win paid him $1,000 for his efforts. Van Dee inherited the lead when Blake Miller of Des Moines, spun into the infield, striking the fence, and then made a quick stop in the pits around lap 160. It was Van Dee’s fourth Knoxville Enduro win Miller recovered to finish second and earn $700. Last year’s winner, Ryan Humphrey, of Rose Hill finished third, earning $500.

Fifteen red flag periods were encountered along the way for various reasons such as debris on the track as well for removal of stalled cars which were in a dangerous position.
