Bryan Hulbert – KNOXVILLE, Iowa (April 23, 2018) Taking the opportunity to get laps at Knoxville Raceway this past Saturday night, Skylar Gee brought his Strongs Crane Service No. 99 home with a 10th place finish in 360cid competition.

“We did okay. I just need more laps around there. That’s one thing we’re trying to do this year is take every opportunity we can to race at Knoxville,” stated Skylar.

Timing in 15th out of 26, Skylar was positioned outside the first row in Heat 3. “We were good in Hot Laps, but just struggled in qualifying. The track changed a little bit on us, and like I said before, just need more laps there, but we were really good in the Heat and we were able to pull away for the win.”

Hitting the track 12th for the A-Feature, Skylar was able to move forward for a 10th place finish.

“We were good in the feature. Bryan [Sundby] told me all night to just be patient, and that’s what I was working on in the feature. The car felt good, and I just worked on hitting my marks.”

Next for Skylar and the Strongs Crane Service No. 99 team is Paducah International Raceway on Friday, April 27 with the Lucas Oil American Sprint Car Series presented by Sawblade.com. Saturday, April 28 is tentative as the team watches to see what is available.
