**Patrick Spangler Dominates Knoxville as Joe Howe2 Storms Through Field** Patrick Spangler controlled the feature from start to finish at Knoxville, leading 23 laps and never letting the field close in. It was a masterclass in consistency on the dirt, but the real story belonged to Joe Howe2, who started dead last in twentieth and carved through the entire grid to grab fifth, picking up 15 positions in the process and earning hard charger honors. Spangler's command was so complete that second place Zach Hodl never threatened, while Spangler's heat race victory set the tone for what would become a dominant evening. The four heat winners — Spangler, Brandon Voyles, Tanner Miller3, and Justin Sherman3 — were clearly the class of the field, though Spangler was in another gear entirely when it mattered most.
