The Sprint Car Capital of the World, Knoxville Raceway, has released its schedule for the 2019 racing season. The schedule is highlighted by the 59th running of the Knoxville Nationals, to be held Wednesday, August 7, through Saturday, August 10, an event that was sold out in 2018.

A new “nationals” event, the Corn Belt Nationals, has been added to the schedule on Friday and Saturday, July 5 and 6, featuring some of the world’s greatest non-wing sprint car drivers from the USAC Amsoil National Sprint Car Series and POWRi Lucas Oil Sprint Series battling for $20,000. The 360 winged class will also race on Friday while the 410 winged sprint car class will race on Saturday.

The 16th annual Lucas Oil Late Model Nationals is set for Thursday, September 12, through Saturday, September 14. In 2018, the sole late model event saw record crowd figures. The 29th running of the 360 Nationals will be held Thursday, August 1, through Saturday, August 3, followed by the eighth running of the Weld Racing Capitani Classic on Sunday, August 4.

The World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series two-day event has been moved to June 14, through June 15, to give an off-weekend for Knoxville Raceway competitors and allow for all 410 drivers to compete in the Jackson Nationals World of Outlaws Craftsman Sprint Car Series three-day event held at Jackson Motorplex (Minnesota).

The 2019 Knoxville Raceway season will kick-off on Saturday, April 13, with the PellaMotors.com/Kraig Ford Season opener. A season kick-off party will be held the night before in conjunction with an open testing night for all teams on the track.

Four-day ticket renewals for the 410 Knoxville Nationals will go on sale October 1, 2018, with sales to the general public opening on December 3. Tickets can be purchased at knoxvilleraceway.com, at the track ticket office or by calling 641/842-5431.
