Ben “Race Hard, Crash Hard” Knight had the bye in the other Top Gas semi, and what was already a day filled with Gateway passion for the multi-class sportsman racer was about to ratchet up a notch. Knight went to grab a little brake at the finish line but the finish line grabbed him, sending the popular racer hard into a slide and tumble. Bruised and battered, Knight was still able to drive his rig back to Ohio on Sunday night.

Jeremy Teasley

Ron Arnold

Teasley took the Top Gas win on his trick HTP Performance-built ‘Busa, and also Sunday’s Kevin Dennis Insurance Street ET win. That one came at the expense of Ron “Jiu-Jitsu” Arnold in the final, but Arnold beat Dustin “Bring Biscuits if I Crash” Lee in the Route 21 Street Fighter final. Street Fighter number 1 qualifier Nathan Hollingsworth lost to Dan Raduenz in round 2.
