Hey Mark Rette, Rette Jones Racing... You know, there's been grandfather vs grandson, father vs son and brother vs brother in the #KNEast, but never brother vs sister. Just saying, right Tristan vanWieringen and DominiqueRacing?
Returning to the K&N Pro Series this weekend Iowa Speedway with Hattori Racing in the Yazaki North America #1 #Camry. Thankful for the opportunity to drive for such a great group. Hopeful to be true to the car number. #1.
What do Noah Gragson, Tyler Dippel, Grant Quinlan, @anthonyfalfredo, Tyler Ankrum and Ernie Francis Jr have in common in #KNEast history?
What do Noah Gragson, Tyler Dippel, Grant Quinlan, @anthonyfalfredo, Tyler Ankrum and Ernie Francis Jr have in common in #KNEast history? They hold the record for consecutive first time Pole Award winners. Francis' Pole Award broke a three way tie for the lead, which stood at 5.
In order to secure the #KNEast championship, Tyler Ankrum needs to secure 211 points of the possible 240 points available in the remaining 5 races to edge out fellow @DGR_CROSLEY team mate, Tyler Dippel.
#KNEast points leader Tyler Ankrum has led 7 of 9 races for a season leading 241 laps.
With 6 #KNEast victories, @DGR_CROSLEY ties Bill McAnally Racing, LesCare Racing, Truex Motorsports and 1/4ley Racing for 16th place (28th overall) in series wins.
#KNEast Fast Fact: in terms of the East Series stats, in 15 previous Iowa Speedway races, there hasn't been a repeat Pole Award or race winner. That's 15 drivers tied for the lead in each category.
With his third consecutive #KNEast victory, @DGR_CROSLEY's Tyler Ankrum ties Tracy Gordon, Matt Kobyluck and Austin Hill. Only Ben Rhodes and @RickyCravenESPN have won more consecutive races.
1 of 2 - Hard to believe that 20 years ago our team won the Watkins Glen International #KNEast race in a wild one. Lots of spinouts, dumping and carnage in those final laps. Leader has 3 laps to acknowledge black flag yet we crossed finish line in second and shown the checkers, crazy!
2 of 2 - Most memorable moment of the broadcast from the race was the cameras showing Sjale (crew member) doing backflips down pit road. Just a little Watkins Glen International #KNEast reminiscing.
Current NASCAR #MENCS star Erik Jones is scheduled to drop a few rungs on the #NASCAR ladder this weekend as he attempts to make his debut in the #KNEast Watkins Glen International #GreatOutdoorsRV100.
Joining Erik Jones in the #KNEast Watkins Glen International #GreatOutdoorsRV100 will be Brett Moffitt, Bubba Wallace and Noah Gragson, amongst others. All eyes may be on two others though, Scott Heckert and Will Rodgers. Rodgers has won all three East races he's entered, all road courses.
Entry lists are out for Friday's fun! #KNEast at Watkins Glen International: bit.ly/2vebGF0 #NWMT at Stafford Speedway 🏎️: bit.ly/2LAZOrQ
Mathematically (and realistically with short fields) speaking, with just four #KNEast races remaining, six drivers remain in contention for the championship. With a maximum of 192 points available, @DGR_CROSLEY and their driver Tyler Ankrum will be tough to beat.
With their 7th #KNEast victory, @DGR_CROSLEY ties NDS Motorsports and Johnson Racing in team ownership wins. They rank tied for 13th place, 24th overall. Next win ties them with MDM Motorsports, Michael Waltrip Racing and McCabe Racing.
Not only is Tyler Ankrum extending his #KNEast championship points lead, but his ROTY points lead as well. Tyler Ankrum - 433 @anthonyfalfredo - 341 @The_Rhino23 - 338 Colin Garrett - 262 Grant Quinlan - 211 J.M. Gonzalez - 176 Marcos Gomes - 173 Hailie Deegan - 120
Hate to say this but with short fields, the #KNEast championship is now down to two drivers, @DGR_CROSLEY's Tyler Ankrum and Tyler Dippel. With 144 remaining, winning out would not let Ronnie Bassett Jr get the title either.
