1 MONTH ALERT: World of Outlaws Spring Into Knoxville, April 26-27
KNOXVILLE, IA (March 27, 2024) – The Sprint Car Captial of the World will welcome The Greatest Show on Dirt for a rare April doubleheader visit this year.
The first of three stops at Knoxville Raceway for the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Car Series comes during the Knoxville Spring Showdown, April 26-27.
The Series’ biggest stars will compete against Knoxville’s premier local talent for two $12,000-to-win shows. Multi-time track champion Brian Brown scored the first win against the World of Outlaws at Knoxville last year and then 2019 Knoxville Nationals winner David Gravel picked up the win the following night.
The last time the Series visited Knoxville, Kyle Larson was crowned the Knoxville Nationals winner for the second time, David Gravel charged from 22nd to second, and 11-time Knoxville Nationals winner Donny Schatz finished third.
