World of Outlaws Sanctioning Goodyear Knoxville Nationals
'Greatest Show on Dirt' returns to Sprint Car Racing's Biggest Stage in
August
CONCORD, N.C. (January 7, 2011) - World Racing Group and Knoxville
Raceway are excited to announce the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series will
sanction the 51st Annual Goodyear Knoxville Nationals Aug. 10-13, 2011, at
Knoxville Raceway in Knoxville, Iowa.
In addition, the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series is expanding its early
summer weekend at Knoxville to add a complete show on Friday, June 10, to
the previously scheduled race on Saturday, June 11.
Also, all of the action during the Goodyear Knoxville Nationals will be
captured in high-definition by the World Racing Group media production team
and will air on SPEED in a multi-hour, tape-delayed HD broadcast.
"The timing is right to work with the World of Outlaws," said Knoxville
Raceway Director of Racing Ralph Capitani. "The premier 410 racing event and
the premier national organization are working together and we're certainly
happy about that. We have a long history of running exciting Sprint Car
races together. We're looking forward to what the future holds."
The world renown Knoxville Nationals brings together competitors from across
the country and around the world for four days of intense competition at the
center of Sprint Car racing just outside of Des Moines. The Goodyear
Knoxville Nationals' purse of more than $1 million anchors Sprint Car
racing's fabled Month of Money and makes it the richest event in the sport,
with racers leaving everything on the track for a shot at becoming a legend.
"We are excited to bring the World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series back to the
Knoxville Nationals," said World Racing Group CEO Brian Carter. "The World
of Outlaws and Knoxville Raceway have been synonymous for more than 30 years
and we're certainly pleased to be working together with Ralph Capitani and
his team to make the 51st Goodyear Knoxville Nationals an even greater event
for fans and competitors alike."
Every August the four-day extravaganza envelopes the town of Knoxville with
days full of music, food and camping that eventually give way to thrilling
nights of wheel-to-wheel racing at breathtaking speeds. For tickets and
