Chad Simpson Closes Out 2016 Season at Knoxville
(September 18, 2016) Chad Simpson Racing tackled another crown jewel event over the September 15-17 weekend in the Hawkeye State, as the historic Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa played host to the 13th Annual 'Lucas Oil Late Model Knoxville Nationals.'

At Knoxville on Thursday night, Chad Simpson finished fifth in his heat race and ninth in the B-Main, which unfortunately caused him to miss out on the 25-lap feature. On Friday evening, Chad once again narrowly failed to transfer into the 25-lapper after running fourth in his heat race and seventh in the B-Main.

After grabbing the second transfer spot through the B-Main on Saturday, Chad locked himself into the outside of the thirteenth row for the start of the 100-lap 'Lucas Oil Late Model Knoxville Nationals' finale, which once again carried a stout $40,000 winner's share. In what was likely his season finale, the Mount Vernon, Iowa star moved up several positions during the race and was eventually awarded a nineteenth place effort after overheating late in the distance.
