Knoxville, IA, May 20, 2021 – Pennsylvania Posse runner Robbie Kendall continues to lead the Priority Aviation $20,000 Knoxville Nationals sponsorship race, but the last couple weeks have seen other drivers making their moves! The contest has returned, and there is an added vigor this year, as second place will receive $10,000 and third place $5,000. All drivers and teams competing at either the Knoxville 360 Nationals or the Knoxville Nationals are eligible. Supporters of the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame & Museum are asked to participate.
Ohio’s Jac Haudenschild, competing in his final season now trails Kendall, ahead of Dominic Scelzi, who recently swept four features during the Peter Murphy Classic activities in California. Nation Sprint Car Hall of Fame inductee and previous winner of the contest, Lance Dewease is currently fourth, ahead of Iowa’s Carson McCarl and McKenna Haase, Missouri’s Brian Brown and the Black Pearl #101 sprint car team from the Cincinnati, Ohio area.
Again, in addition to the $20,000 first place prize from Richard and Jennifer Marshall of Priority Aviation for the driver/team raising the most funds for the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame & Museum, the second place earner will be awarded $10,000 and the third place earner $5,000!
National Sprint Car Hall of Fame inductee Lance Dewease of Fayetteville, Pennsylvania, was the recipient of the $20,000 sponsorship in the program’s inaugural season of 2019. The program brought in over $60,000 to the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame & Museum that season.
