Really is not even close. Although I have considered the Smackdown our Nationals for sometime it is just a fraction of what Knoxville is. They sold out the place Saturday and that’s over 20,000 tickets. I think Kokomo would be happy to sell one quarter of that. And I have to agree with the previous poster that the racing at Kokomo will most likely exceed what we saw at Knoxville, but the event isn’t in the same league. Knoxville is the biggest dirt track race in the world. But I would like to interject an observation that was somewhat talked about in another thread. You most likely aren’t going to see Kyle Larson, or Jeff Gordon among others walking around Kokomo, but it’s not hard to see the attention that their celebrity brings to the sport. I sure wish they would give true sprint cars a boost
