| June 3, 2017 - Pair of Podium Finishes in Dixie Doubleheader Nationals |
After what has seemed like nonstop bad luck to start the season, Rome, Georgia's Jake Knowles was able to bounce back with a pair of strong runs on Saturday night at Dixie Speedway in both of his Knowles Race Parts & Bodies #66 Brucebilt Performance Rocket Chassis.
“It’s felt like we’ve had nothing but bad luck to start this year, and even though Saturday might’ve started a little rough in the NeSmith Dirt Late Model program we were able to bounce back and have what was definitely our best night of the year so far,” said Knowles. “Hopefully the monkey is finally off of our back and we can go get some wins.”
