“STATE-OF-THE-ART SPRINT CAR SHOCK TECHNOLOGY” FORUM TO BE FEATURED AT 2012 KNOXVILLENATIONALS FAN FAIR
KNOXVILLE, IOWA (July 3, 2012) – C. Greg Nicol, product manager at Speedway Motors in Lincoln, Nebraska, has just released the names of the featured speakers at his Knoxville Nationals Fan Fair forum in the National Sprint Car Museum theater on Friday, August 10, at 11 a.m. and they are five of the most knowledgeable people within the industry. The panelists are Don Waters (AFCO Shocks), Garrett Andrews (CSI Shocks), Davey Reedy (Penske Shocks), George Gillespie (Pro Shocks), and Brian Goscinski (Super Shox).
Museum curator and fan fair coordinator Tom Schmeh said today, “I really appreciate Greg’s hard work in lining up this quality forum for our seventh annual Knoxville Nationals Fan Fair. It harkens back to the day when Gib Wiser used to have a technology-oriented session in the Skate Pit during the Nationals and fans loved it and still miss it today. I have to admit that I am not up-to-speed on sprint car racing technology, but even I recognize and appreciate the knowledge of people like George Gillespie. He’s been there, done that, and knows of what he speaks. It should be a great session with moderator Greg Nicol and all five expert panelists.”
