Covington Shifts Focus to Knoxville, After Runner-up at 81

Matt Covington Racing – Glenpool, Ok. (July 25th, 2024) Matt Covington and crew are prepped and ready to roll for Knoxville. They will take on the famed Knoxville Raceway this weekend to tune up for the next week's 34th Xtream powered by Mediacom 360 Nationals.

This past week Covington ran with the ASCS National series at Lakeside and 81 Speedway where he picked up a 6th placed finish Friday, followed by a runner-up effort on Saturday.

“We are very optimistic to get these next couple of weeks of racing underway,” stated Covington. “The car felt good at Lakeside and 81 Speedway, but Knoxville is a different beast on its own and can humble you real quick. Right now, we got a good balance and we found a decent baseline a few weeks back when we went to Knoxville. But this weekend will be good to get some more laps and experience to get the car dialed in for nationals. We have the equipment and the motors to get good results if we can hit a decent setup and I do my part. Our goal is to make the 360 A-main and go from there, its been a few years since we got to race the main on Saturday.

Up next for Matt is a week full of racing in Iowa. This weekend will host the weekly Knoxville show and then he’ll come back next Thursday for his 360 Nationals qualifying night. That weekend will conclude on Saturday night with the 360 Nationals finale.
