KNOXVILLE, Iowa – July 30, 2014
Starting tomorrow, fans will see the best 360 sprint car drivers from all over the world converge on the historic Marion County Fairgrounds and the Knoxville Raceway. The Arnold Motor Supply 360 Nationals will be held this Thursday, July 31st through Saturday, August 2nd. The field of 102 cars will be split into two qualifying nights earning points every time they hit the track. The top points drivers from the qualifying nights will fill out the field. Points acquired from the qualifying night events will determine how the lineups are set for the 24th annual 360 Nationals.
The field is very deep this year with the top local Knoxville talent, ASCS National competitors and many invaders all vying for the $10,000 payday and a chance to be a Knoxville Nationals Champion.
Knoxville Raceway General Manager Brian Stickel has been preparing everything for fans and drivers for the 360 and 410 Knoxville Nationals. There is a fresh coat of white paint on the iconic fence and a beautiful High Definition video board has replaced the old video screen in turns 3 and 4.
“I have never been this excited about a Knoxville Nationals event,” Stickel said. “It’s the upgrades to the fan experience, the great fans we have and the unbelievable talent of drivers entered this year that creates the whole package. I couldn’t be more proud of everyone involved at the Knoxville Raceway and the Marion County Fair Board. The time and effort that goes into putting on an event like this is extraordinary. We are ready for the best 10 days of racing anywhere in the world.”
