On Thursday, May 17, the National Sprint Car Museum will host "Sprint Car 101: Fifteen Years Ago Tonight at Knoxville Raceway". 1997 winged '410' and '360' sprint car track champions A.J. "Skip" Jackson and David Hesmer, team members Archie Ergenbright and Ken Hesmer, and drivers Tim Deaver and Dennis Moore, Jr., are the latest individuals to commit to being in attendance. The program, to be held on the museum's second floor, will be free and open to the public.
Finally, if you are attending the NASCAR Nationwide Series or K&N Pro East/West Series events next weekend at the nearby Iowa Speedway in Newton, please plan on driving the 26 miles south to the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame & Museum in Knoxville. The museum offers well-wishes to such friends as Ricky Stenhouse, Jr., Cole Whitt, Michael Annett, Justin Allgaier, Mike Bliss, Tayler Malsam, Kyle Larson, Brett Moffitt and Ryan Blaney. We are open seven days a week, year-round, on turn number two of the half-mile Marion County Fairgrounds dirt track.
