- 13 Aug 2009
Rain delayed opening night of the 49th Annual Super Clean Knoxville Nationals. Drivers hit the track around 11 pm in Knoxville, Iowa. Chico, California’s Jonathan Allard put together a strong evening of competition when it was finally time to race. He finished the evening tied fourth in points after one night.

Allard started out by qualifying fifth out of 50 entrants aboard the Williams Motorsports K&N Filters No. 0 sprinter. The heavy rain left the track very fast and narrow for most of the night. Allard finished seventh in the heat race and was put in the B-Main. “I was fortunate,” said Allard. “The top 13 qualifiers failed to make the transfer out of the heat races.”
