I've finally tracked him down

The lightly sponsored 14T
As I mentioned a few posts back.. I couldn't find our Brooke Tattnel anywhere listed on the US sprintcar web sites. Well he definately isn't with the WOO's this season. I was talking with a speedway friend who tells me he can be found in Knoxville this week taking part at the famed Knoxville Nationals. For country fans, no, that's not the the Nashville Knoxnals. Early in the week Brooke showed up in the 100 plus entry 360 Nationals. The field was split over two nights of qualifying and heat races. Brooke drew a Friday night straw so he had the oppertunity of seeing how the first fifty went on the Thursday night. This may have been only the 360's but there were certainly some heavy hitters there like Shane Stewart (the eventual winner), Danny Lasoski, Jason Myers and Jeff Swindell. Brooke took the A main win on his qualifying night in the lucky 14T placing him out of eight of the A main for the Friday night final. Brooke was to loose a few positions to eventualy finish twelveth behind a regular visitor to these shores, arch rival Jason Johnson who had put in a blinder after starting out of twenty.
So off to the transporter and bolt in the 410 for the big one on Saturday night.
