Tim Shaffer wins in dramatic fashion as race leader Sammy Swindell blew a tire with three laps left. Shaffer grabbed the lead on the white flag lap from Donny Shatz, whose machine began to smoke on lap 48, and ran away for the checkered flag.
The win is worth $150,000, and marks the first time since 2006 that somebody other than Donny Shatz won the annual Knoxville Nationals championship.
For the first time in the history of the Nationals, the race distance was 50 laps and included a full pit stop. Previous years' championships had been 30 laps, and more recently 40 laps.
