**Cory Austin Holds Off Late Surge to Win at Knoxville** Cory Austin controlled the feature from start to finish at Knoxville, leading 14 laps and fending off a charging field to take the checkered flag. Patrick Spangler pressured hard in the closing stages but couldn't find a way around Austin, who drove a clean line and managed traffic with precision. The real story was Daniel R Hall's charge through the field. Starting from P18, Hall carved his way forward lap after lap, ultimately finishing P6 and earning hard charger honors with a +12 position gain. His run kept the feature tight and forced Austin to stay sharp all the way to the line. Tommy Brandon, who took pole position with a 15.848-second lap, mixed it up in the front group but couldn't quite reach the front two by the final lap.
