World of Outlaws Premier Chevy Dealers Clash
Race Recap
MISSILE ON A MISSION: Marks Charges from Eighth to Knoxville Victory Lane
The Pennsylvanian comes out on top for his first win of the year after a frantic final few laps
A win was only a matter of time for Brent Marks.
He’s spent the last several weeks racking up close calls. Entering Friday’s Premier Chevy Dealers Clash at Knoxville Raceway, Marks’ stat sheet showed six podiums in the past seven races including five runner-ups but no victories. A mere step away from Victory Lane for the first time in 2026 over and over.
At Knoxville, Marks finally made that elusive final step, and he did it with the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Cars.
The Myerstown, PA native came out on top of a wild 25-lapper at “The Sprint Car Capital of the World” with a determined drive from eighth. Marks worked his way forward from row four to set himself up for a frantic final sequence.
Right after taking over second from Logan Schuchart on Lap 22, race leader Rico Abreu slowed with an expiring engine to hand the lead to Marks. But Schuchart capitalized with a slide job in Turns 3 and 4 to take the top spot and lead the lap. Marks returned the favor the next time around in the same set of corners with a slider of his own to retake the top spot. Sheldon Haudenschild surged into second on the last lap and nearly made a run for the lead, but Marks held on to put his No. 19 in Victory Lane.
“I was just driving the hell out of the thing,” Marks said. “The car got so good, and it got so grippy that there were times to where it would twitch really bad, and I was fighting it because it had that much grip. What a hell of a run there. Actually, crossing the checkered I think we ran out of fuel. I’m not sure, it just kind of died on me. Hopefully that’s all it was. What a way to get our first win of the year. This is just awesome.”
Marks’ first triumph of 2026 is the 16th of his career with The Greatest Show on Dirt. It’s his second time visiting Knoxville Victory Lane to go along with a 2022 score. He’s the 14th different winner through 28 races in 2026 with the World of Outlaws.
Sheldon Haudenschild brought the KCP Racing No. 18 home second to notch his third consecutive podium and seventh top five in the last eight races.
Logan Schuchart rounded out the podium after contending for the win late aboard the Shark Racing No. 1S.
David Gravel and early leader Aaron Reutzel completed the top five.

Knoxville Raceway
The Sprint Car Capital of the World!
Knoxville, Iowa
1000 North Lincoln Street , 50138
The Knoxville Raceway, located on the Marion County Fairgrounds, began as a track for horse racing. The first automobile race was held in 1901. Johnny Gerber and "Speed" Adams were among the drivers featured between 1927 and 1936 during racing’s growth in popularity.
Racing came to a halt in the early 1940s due to the war, and returned late in the decade with hot rod racing. Soon after, midget and stock car racing became common.
In 1954, weekly racing began at the Knoxville Raceway. By this time, lighting was added to the track, along with new fencing. Stock car racing was the primary attraction, which were passenger cars stripped of glass, innards and extra metal. Roll cages were often constructed inside the car as a safety precaution.
Events at the Knoxville Raceway were promoted by the Southern Iowa Stock Car Racing Association until 1956, when Marion Robinson took over as promoter. During Robinson's tenure, "modifieds", (a stock car with modifications made to the engine), and "supermodifieds" (modifieds with the car bodies cut away to eliminate weight), were the rage. Eventually, tubing replaced the car frames, giving way to the sprint car as we know it today. Under Robinson's leadership, the Knoxville Nationals were born.
P. Ray Grimes came into leadership at the Knoxville Raceway in 1974, promoting races until 1977. Grimes' legacy includes extending the length of the Knoxville Nationals to four days.
1977 brought about a new Race Director, Ralph Capitani. Capitani continued to build on the growth of his predecessors, increasing the payoff for the 4-day Knoxville Nationals event to $100,000. The first tape-delayed broadcast of the Nationals was in 1987, with the first live broadcast in 1993.
