**Patrick Spangler Holds Off Michael Schwartz4 Down to the Wire at Knoxville** Patrick Spangler showed ice in his veins on the dirt at Knoxville, fending off Michael Schwartz4's relentless pressure to secure the feature win. Schwartz4 led the majority of the race—33 laps from the driver's seat—but couldn't find a way past Spangler when it counted most. The two staged a back-and-forth battle through the closing laps, but Spangler's racecraft prevailed under the checkered. Tim Alton was the story nobody saw coming, charging five spots from eighth on the grid to steal third place and snag hard charger honors. His late-race pace was genuine speed, not luck—he threaded through traffic with precision and positioned himself perfectly to capitalize on any openings. The qualifying order meant nothing here. Brandon Garman grabbed pole position but won the consolation race instead, a common reminder that grid position is just the starting line at a place like Knoxville. The heat winners, Michael Schwartz4 and Theodore York, at least made their way through to the feature, but only Schwartz4 came close to converting that advantage into a win.
