Miley Takes Crown in 2011 UFo vs. 3 State Flyers King of the Knob at Roaring Knob!
Markleysburg, PA (September 10, 2011) - Jared Miley, of South Park, PA, won his first-ever checkered flag Saturday night at Roaring Knob Motorsports Complex collecting $5,000.
The 14th running of the King of the Knob enters the record books as another exciting show. At the end of the 51 lapper Jared Miley scored his first-ever win at Roaring Knob. DJ Cline took the initial lead at the drop of the green. Miley passed him on lap two for the lead. Devin Friese got around Cline for second on lap nine. Friese made his move on a lap 12 restart and took the lead from Miley. Friese’s lead was short lived when Miley retook the top spot on lap 16. While Miley lead, there was a battle behind him for the runner up position. Friese, Covert (from 11th) and Jared Hawkins were dicing it out for 2nd. Covert worked his way into contention and took the second spot on lap 25. He moved in and challenged Miley for the lead. As they battled Hawkins also joined in as did Friese. Miley had his hands full but never skipped a beat out front.
The final caution appeared on lap 48. When the green dropped Hawkins took advantage of a rare Covert mistake to take second and immediately caught the high flying Miley. Hawkins, fresh off his big wins last week at Tyler County, threw all he had at Miley but came up a little short. Miley parked the #H1 in victory lane for the first time at Roaring Knob and added his name to the impressive list of drivers who have been crowned King of the Knob.
