Preston Lattomus went to Knoxville to gain experience and learn. Mission accomplished.
No, the results weren’t flashy on the scoreboard, but the building blocks were laid so the young racer can post those kinds of results in the future.
His first impression of Knoxville?
“It feels 410 (sprint car) fast in a 360,” Lattomus shared with a smile.
QUICK LEARNING REQUIRED
Knoxville’s surface is a different animal, especially for a racer who has spent his young career in the Mid-Atlantic region. Then consider the stout competition on hand for the 360 Nationals, which includes most of the top 360 sprint car teams and drivers in the country.
Add it all together and there’s only one conclusion: newcomers need to be a quick study.
Lattomus only made 25 total laps under green on his qualifying night on Friday. That’s hot laps, qualifying, heat race, and the B-main combined. That’s not a lot of time to learn, especially when the most important laps of your weekend, your time trial laps, are the 4th and 5th laps you have ever turned at the track.
Friday night ended on a positive note, with Lattomus passing cars and moving forward in the B-main, plus the ‘first date’ with Knoxville was behind him, and he could come into Saturday’s finale far more comfortable and with an idea what he was facing.
Lattomus quickly showed he was making progress at the Marion County (Iowa) Fairgrounds half-mile. He drove from 12th to 5th in the D-main to advance to the C-main. Unable to come from deep in the field to a top-seven transfer spot, his night ended in the C-main, but it still provided valuable track time that will pay dividends next time.
Saturday night, Lattomus was on track for a hot lap session, followed by a 10-lap D-main, and a 12-lap C-main. That’s another 25 total, but they were extremely valuable for the Lewes, DE driver and his Capitol Custom Trailers & Coaches, E-Z GO, Betts Garage No.91 team.
“I was absolutely more comfortable on Saturday with the track. Friday night was completely new to me and felt like every time I hit the track, I improved. Saturday was a big help in learning more because I had some extra time to search around and find my speed in different areas,” Lattomus shared.
“I definitely want to get back to Knoxville after the laps I gained this week. It is an awesome track to race on, and I am confident I will have a better run when we go back.”

Lattomus has added a date to his upcoming schedule. He will race the 410 sprint car at Lincoln Speedway on Saturday, August 9th.
