Column By: NICK GRAZIANO / WORLD OF OUTLAWS – KNOXVILLE, IA – Two months before World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series drivers contend in “The Granddaddy of Them All” at Knoxville Raceway, they’ll get two days of racing at the premier facility in June.
Knoxville will welcome the best Sprint Car drivers in the country for the Premier Chevy Dealers Clash, Friday-Saturday, June 14-15.
The two-day event will feature two $12,000-to-win races and valuable lap time for World of Outlaws drivers before the NOS Energy Drink Knoxville Nationals, Aug. 7-10.
Knoxville has ran two weekly shows, so far, this year with Aaron Reutzel picking up the season-opening win and Dusty Zomer scoring the most recent win at the track on May 11.
When the World of Outlaws were last at Knoxville Raceway, Kyle Larson scored his second Knoxville Nationals title. David Gravel finished second with an impressive 22nd to second run, and 11-time Knoxville Nationals winner Donny Schatz finished third.
The Knoxville Nationals was voted the second best motorports race in USA Today’s 10Best poll this year.
